HetroD: A High-Fidelity Drone Dataset and Benchmark for Autonomous Driving in Heterogeneous Traffic

This paper introduces HetroD, a large-scale, high-fidelity drone-based dataset and benchmark designed to address the challenges of autonomous driving in heterogeneous traffic by providing centimeter-accurate annotations of complex interactions between vehicles and vulnerable road users, while demonstrating that current state-of-the-art models struggle to handle these unstructured and dense scenarios.

Beyond Calibration: Confounding Pathology Limits Foundation Model Specificity in Abdominal Trauma CT

This study reveals that while foundation models achieve discrimination comparable to task-specific models for detecting traumatic bowel injury in abdominal CTs, their clinical utility is significantly limited by a susceptibility to specificity deficits caused by confounding negative-class heterogeneity, particularly when concurrent solid organ injuries are present.

Exploiting Label-Independent Regularization from Spatial Dependencies for Whole Slide Image Analysis

This paper proposes a spatially regularized Multiple Instance Learning framework that leverages inherent spatial dependencies among patch features as label-independent regularization to overcome the challenges of scarce annotations and unstable optimization in Whole Slide Image analysis, achieving significant performance improvements on multiple public datasets.
