It motivates us to propose a novel segmentation framework, namely Curriculum Knowledge Switching (CKS) framework, which decomposes detecting pancreas into three phases with different difficulty extent: straightforward, difficult, and challenging. The framework switches from straightforward to challenging phases and thereby gradually learns to detect pancreas. In addition, we adopt the momentum update parameter updating mechanism during switching, ensuring the loss converges gradually when the input dataset changes. Experimental results show that different neural network backbones with the CKS framework achieved state-of-the-art performance on the NIH dataset as measured by the DSC metric.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.12651v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.12651v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"curriculum-knowledge-switching-for-pancreas","repo_url":"https://github.com/kunzhan/cks_pancreas","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"pancreas-segmentation","task_name":"Pancreas Segmentation"},{"task_slug":"segmentation","task_name":"Segmentation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
