Automatic medical image segmentation techniques have wide applications for disease diagnosing, however, its much more challenging than natural optical image segmentation tasks due to the high-resolution of medical images and the corresponding huge computation cost. Sliding window was a commonly used technique for whole slide image (WSI) segmentation, however, for these methods that based on sliding window, the main drawback was lacking of global contextual information for supervision. In this paper, we proposed a dual-inputs attention network (denoted as DA-RefineNet) for WSI segmentation, where both local fine-grained information and global coarse information can be efficiently utilized. Sufficient comparative experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the results proved that the proposed method can achieve better performance on WSI segmentation tasks compared to methods rely on single-input.

Generative adversarial nets (GANs) have been successfully applied in many fields like image generation, inpainting, super-resolution and drug discovery, etc., by now, the inner process of GANs is far from been understood. To get deeper insight of the intrinsic mechanism of GANs, in this paper, a method for interpreting the latent space of GANs by analyzing the correlation between latent variables and the corresponding semantic contents in generated images is proposed. Unlike previous methods that focus on dissecting models via feature visualization, the emphasis of this work is put on the variables in latent space, i.e. how the latent variables affect the quantitative analysis of generated results. Given a pretrained GAN model with weights fixed, the latent variables are intervened to analyze their effect on the semantic content in generated images. A set of controlling latent variables can be derived for specific content generation, and the controllable semantic content manipulation be achieved. The proposed method is testified on the datasets Fashion-MNIST and UT Zappos50K, experiment results show its effectiveness
