Description

We should look into squeeze and excitation (SE) modules for adaptive feature map recalibration.

The initially introduces cSE blocks are incredibly powerful for classification problems; the recently introduces sSE blocks are similarly powerful for segmentation.

We should try a combination of these in an scSE module and see what happens if we attach them to our encoder and decoder modules. From a computational standpoint they are very cheap.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry point. Start by reading the two referenced SE papers and locating the encoder and decoder modules; done would require an agreed scSE design, integration with those modules, and classification or segmentation experiment results.
