"Encoder regularization of a segmentation model" was invented by Andriy Myronenko (San Mateo, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A segmentation model is trained with an image reconstruction model that shares an encoding. During application of the segmentation model, the segmentation model may use the encoding and network layers trained for the segmentation without the image reconstruction model. The image reconstruction model may include a probabilistic representation of the image that represents the image based on a probability distribution. When training...
