CNN-ViT Fusion with Adaptive Attention Gate for Brain Tumor MRI Classification: A Hybrid Deep Learning Model

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.23137v1 Announce Type: new Early detection and classifying brain tumors using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images is highly important but difficult to extract in medical images. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are good at capturing both local texture and spatial information whereas Vision Transformers (ViTs) are good at capturing long-range global dependencies. We propose a new hybrid architecture that combines a SqueezeNet-style CNN branch with a MobileViT-style global transformer branch, through an Adaptive Attention Gate mechanism, in this paper.
