YOLO-OB: An improved anchor-free real-time multiscale colon polyp detector in colonoscopy

Xiao Yang, Enmin Song, Guangzhi Ma et al.

Colon cancer is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States in 2023. Although colonoscopy is one of the most effective methods for early prevention of colon cancer, up to 30% of polyps may be missed by endoscopists, thereby increasing patients' risk of developing colon cancer. Though deep neural networks have been proven to be an effective means of enhancing the detection rate of polyps. However, the variation of polyp size brings the following problems: (1) it is difficult to design an efficient and sufficient multi-scale feature fusion structure; (2) matching polyps of different sizes with fixed-size anchor boxes is a hard challenge. These problems reduce the performance of polyp detection and also lower the model's training and detection efficiency. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a new model called YOLO-OB. Specifically, we developed a bidirectional multiscale feature fusion structure, BiSPFPN, which could enhance the feature fusion capability across different depths of a CNN. We employed the ObjectBox detection head, which used a center-based anchor-free box regression strategy that could detect polyps of different sizes on feature maps of any scale. Experiments on the public dataset SUN and the self-collected colon polyp dataset Union demonstrated that the proposed model significantly improved various performance metrics of polyp detection, especially the recall rate. Compared to the state-of-the-art results on the public dataset SUN, the proposed method achieved a 6.73% increase on recall rate from 91.5% to 98.23%. Furthermore, our YOLO-OB was able to achieve real-time polyp detection at a speed of 39 frames per second using a RTX3090 graphics card.

Large Language Models for Software Testing Education: an Experience Report

Peng Yang, Yunfeng Zhu, Chao Chang et al.

The rapid integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into software engineering practice is reshaping how software testing activities are performed. LLMs are increasingly used to support software testing. Consequently, software testing education must evolve to prepare students for this new paradigm. However, while students have already begun to use LLMs in an ad hoc manner for testing tasks, there is limited empirical understanding of how such usage influences their testing behaviors, judgment, and learning outcomes. It is necessary to conduct a systematic investigation into how students learn to evaluate, control, and refine LLM-assisted testing results. This paper presents a mixed-methods, two-phase exploratory study on human-LLM collaboration in software testing education. In Phase I, we analyze classroom learning artifacts and interaction records from 15 students, together with a large-scale survey conducted in a national software testing competition (337 valid responses), to identify recurring prompt-related difficulties across testing tasks. The results reveal systematic interaction breakdowns, including missing contextual information, insufficient constraints, rigid one-shot prompting, and limited strategy-driven iteration, with automated test script generation emerging as a particularly heterogeneous and effort-intensive interaction context. Building on these findings, Phase II conducts an illustrative classroom practice that operationalizes the observed breakdowns into a lightweight, stage-aware prompt scaffold for test script generation, guiding students to explicitly articulate execution-relevant information such as environmental assumptions, interaction grounding, synchronization, and validation intent, and reporting descriptive shifts in students' testing-related articulation when interacting with LLMs.
