Query: Task Decomposition and Synchronization for Semantic Biomedical Image
  Segmentation   Semantic segmentation is essentially important to biomedical image analysis.
Many recent works mainly focus on integrating the Fully Convolutional Network
(FCN) architecture with sophisticated convolution implementation and deep
supervision. In this paper, we propose to decompose the single segmentation
task into three subsequent sub-tasks, including (1) pixel-wise image
segmentation, (2) prediction of the class labels of the objects within the
image, and (3) classification of the scene the image belonging to. While these
three sub-tasks are trained to optimize their individual loss functions of
different perceptual levels, we propose to let them interact by the task-task
context ensemble. Moreover, we propose a novel sync-regularization to penalize
the deviation between the outputs of the pixel-wise segmentation and the class
prediction tasks. These effective regularizations help FCN utilize context
information comprehensively and attain accurate semantic segmentation, even
though the number of the images for training may be limited in many biomedical
applications. We have successfully applied our framework to three diverse 2D/3D
medical image datasets, including Robotic Scene Segmentation Challenge 18
(ROBOT18), Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge 18 (BRATS18), and Retinal Fundus
Glaucoma Challenge (REFUGE18). We have achieved top-tier performance in all
three challenges.
