We propose a novel technique to incorporate attention within convolutional neural networks
using feature maps generated by a separate convolutional autoencoder. Our attention
architecture is well suited for incorporation with deep convolutional networks. We evaluate
our model on benchmark segmentation datasets in skin cancer segmentation and lung
lesion segmentation. Results show highly competitive performance when compared with U-
Net and it's residual variant.
