VeLU: Variance-enhanced Learning Unit for Deep Neural Networks
Ashkan Shakarami, Yousef Yeganeh, Azade Farshad +3
Activation functions play a critical role in deep neural networks by shaping gradient flow, optimization stability, and generalization. While ReLU remains widely used due to its si…
Stress-Aware Resilient Neural Training
Ashkan Shakarami, Yousef Yeganeh, Azade Farshad +3
This paper introduces Stress-Aware Learning, a resilient neural training paradigm in which deep neural networks dynamically adjust their optimization behavior - whether under stabl…
Unit-Based Histopathology Tissue Segmentation via Multi-Level Feature Representation
Ashkan Shakarami, Azade Farshad, Yousef Yeganeh +4
We propose UTS, a unit-based tissue segmentation framework for histopathology that classifies each fixed-size 32 * 32 tile, rather than each pixel, as the segmentation unit. This a…
DepViT-CAD: Deployable Vision Transformer-Based Cancer Diagnosis in Histopathology
Ashkan Shakarami, Lorenzo Nicole, Rocco Cappellesso +2
Accurate and timely cancer diagnosis from histopathological slides is vital for effective clinical decision-making. This paper introduces DepViT-CAD, a deployable AI system for mul…
