 Segmentor Adversarial Network
• Inspired from GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks)

- Ran experiments with different segmentation architectures like:

- U-Net, Res-Net, Deeplabv2, PSP-Net, PixelNet, SegNet

- Acquired a increase in accuracy of 5-10% when compared to

normal segmentation architectures

A timeline that we suggest…
• Make sure you fix your domain by the start of your
5th semester, preferably after your summer
internship.
• Speak with your faculties in the department and seek
for opportunities to work in their laboratories.
• Start preparing for GRE right from the winter
vacation post 5th semester.
• Finish off GRE by the 6th semester.
• Try converting your internship work as a publication.
• Finish off TOEFL by August – 7th semester.

P.S. Start working on publications right from your 5th

semesters. They can turn out to be the magic that can
compensate your low grades. A paltry GRE score can
be compensated by means of ranked publications.
