Instance-Aware Pseudo-Labeling and Class-Focused Contrastive Learning for Weakly Supervised Domain Adaptive Segmentation of Electron Microscopy
Researchers have developed new methods for domain adaptive segmentation of electron microscopy images, crucial for biological and neuroscience research. The first approach, Instance-Aware Pseudo-Labeling and Class-Focused Contrastive Learning, uses sparse point labels and a multitask learning framework to improve segmentation accuracy. The second method, Prefer-DAS, introduces sparse promptable learning and local preference alignment, allowing for interactive segmentation and outperforming existing unsupervised and weakly-supervised techniques.
