Model robustness is vital for the reliable deployment of machine learning models in real-world applications. Recent studies have shown that data augmentation can result in model over-relying on features in the low-frequency domain,…

Medical Image Computing (MIC) is a broad research topic covering both pixel-wise (e.g., segmentation, registration) and image-wise (e.g., classification, regression) vision tasks. Effective analysis demands models that capture both global…

The major part of the vanilla vision transformer (ViT) is the attention block that brings the power of mimicking the global context of the input image. For better performance, ViT needs large-scale training data. To overcome this data…
