SALISA: Saliency-based Input Sampling for Efficient Video Object Detection

[ECCV22] We propose SALISA, a novel non-uniform SALiency-based Input SAmpling technique for video object detection that allows for heavy down-sampling of unimportant background regions while preserving the fine-grained details of a high-resolution image. The resulting image is spatially smaller, leading to reduced computational costs while enabling a performance comparable to a high-resolution input. •








FrameExit: Conditional Early Exiting for Efficient Video Recognition

[CVPR21 Oral] In this paper, we present FrameExit, a conditional early exiting method for efficient video recognition. Our proposed method uses gating modules, trained to allow the network to automatically determine the earliest exiting point based on the inferred complexity of the input video. •

Skip-Convolutions for Efficient Video Processing

[CVPR21] We propose Skip-Convolutions to leverage the large amount of redundancies in video streams and save computations. We reformulate standard convolution to be efficiently computed on residual frames: each layer is coupled with a binary gate deciding whether a residual is important to the model prediction, e.g. foreground regions, or it can be safely skipped, e.g. background regions. •






Conditional Channel Gated Networks for Task-Aware Continual Learning

[CVPR20 Oral] We present a framework based on conditional computation to tackle catastrophic forgetting in convolutional neural networks for task-aware continual learning. •

Diagnostic Assessment of Deep Learning Algorithms for Detection of Lymph Node Metastases in Women With Breast Cancer

















In this research, we investigated and compared the discriminative accuracy of deep learning algorithms with the diagnoses of pathologists in detecting lymph node metastases in tissue sections of women with breast cancer.

Our work has been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and is available here.


Our work has more than 2000 citations and has attracted media attention. It has so far obtained a higher Altmetric attention score than 99% of its peers.



Context-aware stacked convolutional neural networks for classification of breast carcinomas in whole-slide histopathology images

In this paper, we present context-aware stacked convolutional neural networks (CNN) for classification of breast WSIs into normal/benign, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). The Preprint version of this paper can be found here: •
