EVCC: Enhanced Vision Transformer-ConvNeXt-CoAtNet Fusion for Classification

The recent introduction of NOVAK, a unified adaptive optimizer for deep neural networks, combines several advanced techniques including adaptive moment estimation and lookahead synchronization, aiming to enhance the performance and efficiency of neural network training.

A recent study analyzed the multi-modal approach in the Vision Transformer (EVA-ViT) image encoder combined with LlaMA and ChatGPT large language models (LLMs) to address hallucination issues and enhance disease detection in chest X-ray images. The research utilized the NIH Chest X-ray dataset, comparing image-based and text-based retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods, revealing that text-based RAG effectively mitigates hallucinations while image-based RAG improves prediction confidence.

A recent study has introduced a closed-loop framework for Neural Architecture Search (NAS) utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) to optimize channel configurations in vision models. This approach addresses the combinatorial challenges of layer specifications in deep neural networks by leveraging LLMs to generate and refine architectural designs based on performance data.

A novel deep learning framework named TIMM-ProRS has been introduced to enhance the prognosis and risk stratification of diabetic retinopathy (DR), a condition that threatens the vision of millions worldwide. This framework integrates Vision Transformer, Convolutional Neural Network, and Graph Neural Network technologies, utilizing both retinal images and temporal biomarkers to achieve a high accuracy rate of 97.8% across multiple datasets.
