Concretely, accurate brain tumor segmentation on multi-modal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is essential and important since most normal tissues are unresectable in brain tumor surgery. In the past decade, with the explosive development of artificial intelligence technologies, a series of deep learning-based methods are presented for brain tumor segmentation and achieved excellent performance. Among them, vision transformers with non-local receptive fields show superior performance compared with the classical Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). In this review, we focus on the representative transformer-based works for brain tumor segmentation proposed in the last three years. Firstly, this review divides these transformer-based methods as the pure transformer methods and the hybrid transformer methods according to their transformer architectures. Then, we summarize the corresponding theoretical innovations, implementation schemes and superiorities to help readers better understand state-of-the-art transformer-based brain tumor segmentation methods. After that, we introduce the most commonly-used Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) datasets, and comprehensively analyze and compare the performance of existing methods through multiple quantitative statistics. Finally, we discuss the current research challenges and describe the future research trends.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100921,"journal":{"name":"Meta-Radiology","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100004"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49762881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this, AGI researchers draw inspiration from the human brain and seek to replicate its principles in intelligent machines. Brain-inspired artificial intelligence is a field that has emerged from this endeavor, combining insights from neuroscience, psychology, and computer science to develop more efficient and powerful AI systems. In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of brain-inspired AI from the perspective of AGI. We begin with the current progress in brain-inspired AI and its extensive connection with AGI. We then cover the important characteristics for both human intelligence and AGI (e.g., scaling, multimodality, and reasoning). We discuss important technologies toward achieving AGI in current AI systems, such as in-context learning and prompt tuning. We also investigate the evolution of AGI systems from both algorithmic and infrastructural perspectives. Finally, we explore the limitations and future of AGI.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100921,"journal":{"name":"Meta-Radiology","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100005"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49739468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
