Progressive multi-scale attention neural network for pneumonia classification in chest X-rays by Mohammad Reza Mahdiani

“…We propose a novel Progressive Multi-Scale Attention Network (PMSAN) with an integrated Edge-Aware Loss function for improved pneumonia classification in chest X-rays. Unlike previous methods that overlook fine-grained edge information or fail to integrate multi-scale contextual features, our approach synergistically combines convolutional multi-scale feature extraction using depthwise separable convolutions with cross-layer feature fusion, Transformer blocks, advanced attention mechanisms, and a custom loss function that emphasizes diagnostically relevant edge details using Canny edge detection. …”
