| contents | 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. The gate learns dynamically per-sample, per-feature weights to weight the contribution of each branch, allowing context-sensitive merging of local and global representations. The proposed model has a test accuracy of 97.60, a precision of 97.30, a recall of 97.50, an F1-score of 97.40, and a macro-average area under the curve (AUC) of 0.9946 with a trained and evaluated on the Brain Tumor MRI Dataset (Kaggle). These scores are higher than single CNN and ViT baselines, and current competitive fusion methods, showing that dynamic feature weighting is an effective way to classify medical images. |
