Dual encoder–decoder-based deep polyp segmentation network for colonoscopy images
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Detection of colorectal polyps through colonoscopy is an essential practice in prevention of colorectal cancers. However, the method itself is labor intensive and is subject to human error. With the advent of deep learning-based methodologies, and specifically convolutional neural networks, an opportunity to improve upon the prognosis of potential patients suffering with colorectal cancer has appeared with automated detection and segmentation of polyps. Polyp segmentation is subject to a number of problems such as model overfitting and generalization, poor definition of boundary pixels, as well as the model's ability to capture the practical range in textures, sizes, and colors. In an effort to address these challenges, we propose a dual encoder-decoder solution named Polyp Segmentation Network (PSNet). Both the dual encoder and decoder were developed by the comprehensive combination of a variety of deep learning modules, including the PS encoder, transformer encoder, PS decoder, enhanced dilated transformer decoder, partial decoder, and merge module. PSNet outperforms state-of-the-art results through an extensive comparative study against 5 existing polyp datasets with respect to both mDice and mIoU at 0.863 and 0.797, respectively. With our new modified polyp dataset we obtain an mDice and mIoU of 0.941 and 0.897 respectively.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
