LinGuinE: Longitudinal Guidance Estimation for Volumetric Tumour Segmentation

LinGuinE is a novel, training-free PyTorch framework that achieves state-of-the-art longitudinal volumetric tumour segmentation and lesion tracking across multiple datasets by combining image registration with guided segmentation from a single radiologist prompt, enabling flexible, direction-agnostic analysis without requiring longitudinal data training.

Is Exchangeability better than I.I.D to handle Data Distribution Shifts while Pooling Data for Data-scarce Medical image segmentation?

This paper addresses the "Data Addition Dilemma" in medical image segmentation by proposing an exchangeability-based framework that controls foreground-background feature discrepancies across deep network layers, achieving state-of-the-art performance on five datasets including a novel curated ultrasound collection.

Detection and Measurement of Hailstones with Multimodal Large Language Models

This study demonstrates that pre-trained multimodal large language models, particularly when enhanced with two-stage prompting strategies that leverage reference objects, can effectively detect and measure hailstone diameters from crowdsourced social media images with an average error of 1.12cm, offering a promising complement to traditional hail sensors for rapid severe weather assessment.

Deforming Videos to Masks: Flow Matching for Referring Video Segmentation

The paper proposes FlowRVS, a novel one-stage generative framework that reformulates Referring Video Object Segmentation as a language-guided continuous flow deformation problem, leveraging pretrained text-to-video models to achieve state-of-the-art performance by directly mapping video representations to target masks while overcoming the limitations of traditional cascaded approaches.

Learning with less: label-efficient land cover classification at very high spatial resolution using self-supervised deep learning

This study demonstrates that self-supervised deep learning, specifically the "Bootstrap Your Own Latent" strategy, enables highly accurate statewide 1-meter land cover classification using only 1,000 annotated patches, effectively overcoming the data scarcity barrier for large-scale, high-resolution mapping.
