In standard hospital blood tests, the traditional process requires doctors to manually isolate leukocytes from microscopic images of patients' blood using microscopes. These isolated leukocytes are then categorized via automatic leukocyte classifiers to determine the proportion and volume of different types of leukocytes present in the blood samples, aiding disease diagnosis. This methodology is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it also has a high propensity for errors due to factors such as image quality and environmental conditions, which could potentially lead to incorrect subsequent classifications and misdiagnosis. To address these issues, this paper proposes an innovative method of leukocyte detection: the Multi-level Feature Fusion and Deformable Self-attention DETR (MFDS-DETR). To tackle the issue of leukocyte scale disparity, we designed the High-level Screening-feature Fusion Pyramid (HS-FPN), enabling multi-level fusion. This model uses high-level features as weights to filter low-level feature information via a channel attention module and then merges the screened information with the high-level features, thus enhancing the model's feature expression capability. Further, we address the issue of leukocyte feature scarcity by incorporating a multi-scale deformable self-attention module in the encoder and using the self-attention and cross-deformable attention mechanisms in the decoder, which aids in the extraction of the global features of the leukocyte feature maps. The effectiveness, superiority, and generalizability of the proposed MFDS-DETR method are confirmed through comparisons with other cutting-edge leukocyte detection models using the private WBCDD, public LISC and BCCD datasets.

We introduce a novel self-supervised learning framework that automatically learns representations from input computer-aided design (CAD) models for downstream tasks, including part classification, modeling segmentation, and machining feature recognition. To train our network, we construct a large-scale, unlabeled dataset of boundary representation (BRep) models. The success of our algorithm relies on two keycomponents. The first is a masked graph autoencoder that reconstructs randomly masked geometries and attributes of BReps for representation learning to enhance the generalization. The second is a hierarchical graph Transformer architecture that elegantly fuses global and local learning by a cross-scale mutual attention block to model long-range geometric dependencies and a graph neural network block to aggregate local topological information. After training the autoencoder, we replace its decoder with a task-specific network trained on a small amount of labeled data for downstream tasks. We conduct experiments on various tasks and achieve high performance, even with a small amount of labeled data, demonstrating the practicality and generalizability of our model. Compared to other methods, our model performs significantly better on downstream tasks with the same amount of training data, particularly when the training data is very limited.
