Efficient Chest X-ray Representation Learning via Semantic-Partitioned Contrastive Learning

This paper introduces Semantic-Partitioned Contrastive Learning (S-PCL), a streamlined self-supervised pre-training framework for Chest X-rays that achieves superior accuracy and computational efficiency by enforcing agreement between randomly partitioned semantic subsets, thereby eliminating the need for heavy augmentations, auxiliary decoders, or momentum encoders.

CanoVerse: 3D Object Scalable Canonicalization and Dataset for Generation and Pose

The paper introduces CanoVerse, a massive dataset of 320K canonicalized 3D objects and a high-throughput framework that resolves directional ambiguity to significantly improve 3D generation stability, cross-modal retrieval, and zero-shot orientation estimation.

LiveWorld: Simulating Out-of-Sight Dynamics in Generative Video World Models

This paper introduces LiveWorld, a novel framework that addresses the "out-of-sight dynamics" limitation in generative video world models by maintaining a persistent global state where unobserved entities continue to evolve, thereby enabling truly continuous 4D world simulation and long-term scene consistency.

Class Visualizations and Activation Atlases for Enhancing Interpretability in Deep Learning-Based Computational Pathology

This paper introduces a framework to evaluate class visualizations and activation atlases for transformer-based pathology models, revealing that while these feature visualization methods effectively capture coarse tissue-level concepts, their ability to represent fine-grained cancer subclasses is limited by intrinsic pathological complexity and reduced inter-observer agreement.

VINO: Video-driven Invariance for Non-contextual Objects via Structural Prior Guided De-contextualization

VINO is a self-supervised learning framework that overcomes the "co-occurrence trap" in dense video by using a teacher-student distillation approach with structural priors to force representations to focus on foreground objects rather than background context, achieving state-of-the-art unsupervised object discovery performance.
