A meningioma is a type of brain tumor that requires tumor volume size follow ups in order to reach appropriate clinical decisions. A fully automated tool for meningioma detection is necessary for reliable and consistent tumor surveillance. There have been various studies concerning automated lesion detection. Studies on the application of convolutional neural network (CNN)-based methods, which have achieved a state-of-the-art level of performance in various computer vision tasks, have been carried out. However, the applicable diseases are limited, owing to a lack of strongly annotated data being present in medical image analysis. In order to resolve the above issue we propose pyramid gradient-based class activation mapping (PG-CAM) which is a novel method for tumor localization that can be trained in weakly supervised manner. PG-CAM uses a densely connected encoder-decoder-based feature pyramid network (DC-FPN) as a backbone structure, and extracts a multi-scale Grad-CAM that captures hierarchical features of a tumor. We tested our model using meningioma brain magnetic resonance (MR) data collected from the collaborating hospital. In our experiments, PG-CAM outperformed Grad-CAM by delivering a 23 percent higher localization accuracy for the validation set.

Video prediction has been considered a difficult problem because the video contains not only high-dimensional spatial information but also complex temporal information. Video prediction can be performed by finding features in recent frames, and using them to generate approximations to upcoming frames. We approach this problem by disentangling spatial and temporal features in videos. We introduce a mutual suppression network (MSnet) which are trained in an adversarial manner and then produces spatial features which are free of motion information, and motion features with no spatial information. MSnet then uses motion-guided connection within an encoder-decoder-based architecture to transform spatial features from a previous frame to the time of an upcoming frame. We show how MSnet can be used for video prediction using disentangled representations. We also carry out experiments to assess the effectiveness of our method to disentangle features. MSnet obtains better results than other recent video prediction methods even though it has simpler encoders.
