An Attention-Guided Global and Local Fusion Framework for Lesion-Focused Image Classification

The paper introduces an attention‑guided fusion framework that combines global and lesion‑focused local information for image classification. Using a three‑branch architecture built on DenseNet‑121, the model generates attention maps with Grad‑CAM, refines local features with CBAM, and adaptively fuses the two representations. Experiments on synthetic and real datasets, including skin, guava leaf, and grape leaf images, show that the fusion branch outperforms individual branches, achieving up to 97.75% accuracy on skin lesions and 99.64% on guava leaves.

S$^3$F-Net: A Multi-Modal Approach to Medical Image Classification via Spatial-Spectral Summarizer Fusion Network

The paper introduces S$^3$F-Net, a dual‑branch network that fuses spatial and spectral representations for medical image classification. It combines a deep spatial CNN with a shallow spectral encoder, SpectraNet, which uses a learnable SpectralFilter layer to process the full Fourier spectrum efficiently. Evaluated on four medical imaging datasets, S$^3$F-Net consistently outperforms spatial‑only baselines, achieving state‑of‑the‑art accuracy on BRISC2025 and surpassing deeper models on the Chest X‑Ray Pneumonia dataset.

Explainable Convolutional Neural Networks for Retinal Fundus Classification and Cutting-Edge Segmentation Models for Retinal Blood Vessels from Fundus Images

The paper presents a two‑pipeline framework for retinal fundus analysis that combines four‑class disease classification with vessel segmentation. It fine‑tunes eight ImageNet‑pretrained CNNs on the FIVES dataset, applies five gradient‑based explanation methods to assess model interpretability, and benchmarks ten U‑Net variants—including transformer‑based and attention‑enhanced architectures—on the FIVES and DRIVE datasets. The best classification results come from ResNet101 (94.17% accuracy), while the strongest segmentation performance is achieved by Attention U‑Net with a ResNet101V2 backbone, improving DRIVE IoU from 60.80% to 64.83%.
