Medium	GrooveSquid.com (original content)	Medium Difficulty Summary The paper addresses the significant challenge of annotating pixel-wise labels in deep learning-based nuclei segmentation. Existing methods generate pseudo masks using point labels, but these masks are inherently different from ground truth and result in subpar model performance. The proposed DoNuSeg framework tackles this issue by dynamically optimizing pseudo label generation. It utilizes class activation maps (CAMs) to capture regions with semantic similarities to annotated points and a dynamic selection module to choose optimal CAMs as pseudo masks. Additionally, the CAM-guided contrastive module enhances pseudo mask accuracy, while location priors from point labels are incorporated through a task-decoupled structure. The framework outperforms state-of-the-art point-supervised methods in extensive experiments. The code is available on GitHub.
Low	GrooveSquid.com (original content)	Low Difficulty Summary The paper tries to solve a big problem with deep learning for medical images. Currently, it takes a lot of work and time to label every tiny part of the image, which makes training models difficult. To make things easier, the authors propose a new way to generate fake labels that can be used to train models. Their approach uses special maps that show where the important parts of the image are, and then selects the best one to use as a fake label. The method is tested on many images and works better than other methods. This could help doctors and researchers analyze medical images more quickly and accurately.
