ICFNet: Integrated Cross-modal Fusion Network for Survival PredictionBinyu Zhang, Zhu Meng, Junhao Dong et al.
Survival prediction is a crucial task in the medical field and is essential for optimizing treatment options and resource allocation. However, current methods often rely on limited data modalities, resulting in suboptimal performance. In this paper, we propose an Integrated Cross-modal Fusion Network (ICFNet) that integrates histopathology whole slide images, genomic expression profiles, patient demographics, and treatment protocols. Specifically, three types of encoders, a residual orthogonal decomposition module and a unification fusion module are employed to merge multi-modal features to enhance prediction accuracy. Additionally, a balanced negative log-likelihood loss function is designed to ensure fair training across different patients. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our ICFNet outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms on five public TCGA datasets, including BLCA, BRCA, GBMLGG, LUAD, and UCEC, and shows its potential to support clinical decision-making and advance precision medicine.

GIAOTracker: A comprehensive framework for MCMOT with global information and optimizing strategies in VisDrone 2021Yunhao Du, Junfeng Wan, Yanyun Zhao et al.
In recent years, algorithms for multiple object tracking tasks have benefited from great progresses in deep models and video quality. However, in challenging scenarios like drone videos, they still suffer from problems, such as small objects, camera movements and view changes. In this paper, we propose a new multiple object tracker, which employs Global Information And some Optimizing strategies, named GIAOTracker. It consists of three stages, i.e., online tracking, global link and post-processing. Given detections in every frame, the first stage generates reliable tracklets using information of camera motion, object motion and object appearance. Then they are associated into trajectories by exploiting global clues and refined through four post-processing methods. With the effectiveness of the three stages, GIAOTracker achieves state-of-the-art performance on the VisDrone MOT dataset and wins the 3rd place in the VisDrone2021 MOT Challenge.
