The proposed segmentation architectures namely, Attention Residual UNET 3D also referred to as AR-UNET 3D, LinkNet 3D and PSPNet 3D, segment the MRI images and succeed in isolating three classes of tumors. By assigning pixel probabilities, each of these models differentiates between pixels belonging to tumorous and non-tumorous regions of the brain. By experimenting and observing the performance of each of the three architectures using metrics like Dice loss and Dice score, on the BraTS2020 dataset, we successfully establish quality results.","url_abs":"https://openreview.net/forum?id=OdTx-22f6H","url_pdf":"https://openreview.net/pdf?id=OdTx-22f6H","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":"utilizing-attention-linked-blocks-and-pyramid","repo_url":"https://github.com/indiradutta/BrainTumorSeg-III-D","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"brain-tumor-segmentation","task_name":"Brain Tumor Segmentation"},{"task_slug":"segmentation","task_name":"Segmentation"},{"task_slug":"semantic-segmentation","task_name":"Semantic Segmentation"},{"task_slug":"tumor-segmentation","task_name":"Tumor Segmentation"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"auxiliary-classifier","method_name":"Auxiliary Classifier"},{"method_slug":"average-pooling","method_name":"Average Pooling"},{"method_slug":"batch-normalization","method_name":"Batch Normalization"},{"method_slug":"convolution","method_name":"Convolution"},{"method_slug":"dice-loss","method_name":"Dice Loss"},{"method_slug":"dilated-convolution","method_name":"Dilated Convolution"},{"method_slug":"pspnet","method_name":"PSPNet"},{"method_slug":"pyramid-pooling-module","method_name":"Pyramid Pooling Module"},{"method_slug":"relu","method_name":"ReLU"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
