NYCTALE: Neuro-Evidence Transformer for Adaptive and Personalized Lung Nodule Invasiveness Prediction

arXiv:2402.10066v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Drawing inspiration from the primate brain's intriguing evidence accumulation process, and guided by models from cognitive psychology and neuroscience, the paper introduces the NYCTALE framework, a neuro-inspired and evidence accumulation-based Transformer architecture. The proposed neuro-inspired NYCTALE offers a novel pathway in the domain of Personalized Medicine (PM) for lung cancer diagnosis. In nature, Nyctales are small owls known for their nocturnal behavior, hunting primarily during the darkness of night. The NYCTALE operates in a similarly …
