Subject2Vec: Generative-Discriminative Approach from a Set of Image Patches to a Vector [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We propose an attention-based method that aggregates local image features to a subject-level representation for predicting disease severity. In contrast to classical deep learning that requires a fixed dimensional input, our method operates on a set of image patches; hence it can accommodate variable length input image without image resizing. The model
