Deep learning based methods often suffer from performance degradation caused by domain shift. In recent years, many sophisticated network structures have been designed to tackle this problem. However, the advent of large model trained on massive data, with its exceptional segmentation capability, introduces a new perspective for solving medical segmentation problems. In this paper, we propose a novel Domain-Adaptive Prompt framework for fine-tuning the Segment Anything Model (termed as DAPSAM) to address single-source domain generalization (SDG) in segmenting medical images. DAPSAM not only utilizes a more generalization-friendly adapter to fine-tune the large model, but also introduces a self-learning prototype-based prompt generator to enhance model's generalization ability. Specifically, we first merge the important low-level features into intermediate features before feeding to each adapter, followed by an attention filter to remove redundant information. This yields more robust image embeddings. Then, we propose using a learnable memory bank to construct domain-adaptive prototypes for prompt generation, helping to achieve generalizable medical image segmentation. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our DAPSAM achieves state-of-the-art performance on two SDG medical image segmentation tasks with different modalities.

The rapid development of collaborative robotics has provided a new possibility of helping the elderly who has difficulties in daily life, allowing robots to operate according to specific intentions. However, efficient human-robot cooperation requires natural, accurate and reliable intention recognition in shared environments. The current paramount challenge for this is reducing the uncertainty of multimodal fused intention to be recognized and reasoning adaptively a more reliable result despite current interactive condition. In this work we propose a novel learning-based multimodal fusion framework Batch Multimodal Confidence Learning for Opinion Pool (BMCLOP). Our approach combines Bayesian multimodal fusion method and batch confidence learning algorithm to improve accuracy, uncertainty reduction and success rate given the interactive condition. In particular, the generic and practical multimodal intention recognition framework can be easily extended further. Our desired assistive scenarios consider three modalities gestures, speech and gaze, all of which produce categorical distributions over all the finite intentions. The proposed method is validated with a six-DoF robot through extensive experiments and exhibits high performance compared to baselines.
