Can Seattle's moves fix the NFL's worst run defense? Why coach Mike Macdonald is optimistic https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39821656/seattle-seahawks-defense-improve-run-free-agent-signings

Can the Seahawks' free agent signings fix their run defense? - ESPN
The Seahawks rebuilt the middle of their defense in free agency, targeting a 'strong spine' on that side of the ball. But will the approach work?

Multi-view Cardiac Image Segmentation via Trans-Dimensional Priors
We propose a novel multi-stage trans-dimensional architecture for multi-view cardiac image segmentation. Our method exploits the relationship between long-axis (2D) and short-axis (3D) magnetic resonance (MR) images to perform a sequential 3D-to-2D-to-3D segmentation, segmenting the long-axis and short-axis images. In the first stage, 3D segmentation is performed using the short-axis image, and the prediction is transformed to the long-axis view and used as a segmentation prior in the next stag…

Segment anything model for head and neck tumor segmentation with CT, PET and MRI multi-modality images
Deep learning presents novel opportunities for the auto-segmentation of gross tumor volume (GTV) in head and neck cancer (HNC), yet fully automatic methods usually necessitate significant manual refinement. This study investigates the Segment Anything Model (SAM), recognized for requiring minimal human prompting and its zero-shot generalization ability across natural images. We specifically examine MedSAM, a version of SAM fine-tuned with large-scale public medical images. Despite its progress,…

Cowboys' Stephen Jones addresses offseason strategy to retain star players
Despite what’s been said about Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, the reality is he’s coming off arguably the best season of his career after finishing runner-up to Lamar Jackson for the NFL MVP award. Because of his remarkable 2023 season, Dallas is working toward signing the 30-year-old QB to a contract extension, which could also help create some breathing room with its 2024 salary cap — something the team is cognizant of as it also tries to lock in star receiver CeeDee Lamb and …

NFL insider calls Packers signing Josh Jacobs most head-scratching move of free agency
Some cheered the Packers for signing Josh Jacobs, although it came at a steeper cost than just his contract. Green Bay released Aaron Jones to make room for the new running back. And that dynamic had some questioning the move. ESPN writer Stephania Bell called it the biggest head scratcher of free agency. The NFL insider wrote of the Packers move “it’s true, last season was an off year for Aaron Jones. He suffered a hamstring injury in Week 1, and it limited his availability throughout the…

Are spaces run by a Chinese psyop really safe? No. Also there is no ban being proposed, just divestment. This article is propaganda for ByteDance. Shame! https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/04/25/tiktok-ban-bill-us-communities/…

They found safe spaces on TikTok. A ban could devastate their communities.
With President Biden signing a bill that could ban TikTok, groups such as GriefTok and DeafTok fear they’ll lose an inimitable source of comfort and connection.

Combining Cloud and Mobile Computing for Machine Learning
Although the computing power of mobile devices is increasing, machine learning models are also growing in size. This trend creates problems for mobile devices due to limitations like their memory capacity and battery life. While many services, like ChatGPT and Midjourney, run all the inferences in the cloud, we believe a flexible and fine-grained task distribution is more desirable. In this work, we consider model segmentation as a solution to improving the user experience, dividing the computa…

Paired Diffusion: Generation of related, synthetic PET-CT-Segmentation scans using Linked Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in biomedical imaging and radiotherapy is hindered by the limited availability of large imaging data repositories. With recent research and improvements in denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPM), high quality synthetic medical scans are now possible. Despite this, there is currently no way of generating multiple related images, such as a corresponding ground truth which can be used to train models, so synthetic scans are often manua…
