      Thumbnail selection is a very important aspect of online sport video presentation, as thumbnails capture the essence of important events, engage viewers, and make video clips attractive to watch. Traditional solutions in the soccer domain for presenting highlight clips of important events such as goals, substitutions, and cards rely on the manual or static selection of thumbnails. However, such ...
    • CELLULAR, A Cell Autophagy Imaging Dataset 

      al Outa, Amani; Hicks, Steven; Thambawita, Vajira L B; Andresen, Siri; Enserink, Jorrit Martijn; Halvorsen, Pål; Riegler, Michael Alexander; Knævelsrud, Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-16)
      Cells in living organisms are dynamic compartments that continuously respond to changes in their environment to maintain physiological homeostasis. While basal autophagy exists in cells to aid in the regular turnover of intracellular material, autophagy is also a critical cellular response to stress, such as nutritional depletion. Conversely, the deregulation of autophagy is linked to several diseases, ...

      Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy has been an active field of research motivated by the large number of highly lethal GI cancers. Early GI cancer precursors are often missed during the endoscopic surveillance. The high missed rate of such abnormalities during endoscopy is thus a critical bottleneck. Lack of attentiveness due to tiring procedures, and requirement of training are few contributing factors. ...

      Widely used traditional supervised deep learning methods require a large number of training samples but often fail to generalize on unseen datasets. Therefore, a more general application of any trained model is quite limited for medical imaging for clinical practice. Using separately trained models for each unique lesion category or a unique patient population will require sufficiently large curated ...

      Svennevik, Hanna; Riegler, Michael A.; Hicks, Steven; Storelvmo, Trude; Hammer, Hugo L. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-03)
      Climate change is stated as one of the largest issues of our time, resulting in many unwanted effects on life on earth. Cloud fractional cover (CFC), the portion of the sky covered by clouds, might affect global warming and different other aspects of human society such as agriculture and solar energy production. It is therefore important to improve the projection of future CFC, which is usually ...
