Semantic decomposition Network with Contrastive and Structural Constraints for Dental Plaque Segmentation [PDF]
Segmenting dental plaque from images of medical reagent staining provides valuable information for diagnosis and the determination of follow-up treatment plan. However, accurate dental plaque segmentation is a challenging task that requires identifying teeth and dental plaque subjected to semantic-blur regions (i.e., confused boundaries in border ...

A Plaque Test for Redundancies in Relational Data [Extendend Version] [PDF]
Inspired by the visualization of dental plaque at the dentist's office, this article proposes a novel visualization of redundancies in relational data. Our approach is based on a well-principled information-theoretic framework that has so far seen limited practical application in systems and tools. In this framework, we quantify the information content
