Global and Local Contrastive Learning for Joint Representations from Cardiac MRI and ECG

This paper introduces PTACL, a multimodal contrastive learning framework that leverages both global patient-level and local temporal-level alignment to integrate structural insights from Cardiac MRI into ECG representations, thereby significantly improving cardiac phenotype retrieval and functional parameter prediction without adding new learnable parameters.

No Attention, No Problem: DPU-Aware Attention Approximation in Modern YOLO on FPGA

This paper proposes a DPU-aware architecture that adapts modern attention-based YOLO variants (YOLOv26 and YOLOv11) for deployment on AMD FPGAs by approximating attention mechanisms and modifying operations for hardware compatibility, achieving up to 3x lower power consumption and high throughput with only a 5% accuracy trade-off across six benchmark datasets.

Video to All-in-focus Image Reconstruction Algorithm for Automated Microscopic Urinalysis

This paper proposes an automated microscopic urinalysis pipeline that reconstructs all-in-focus images from short, manually focused videos to enable efficient deep learning-based detection and classification of urine sediments, thereby eliminating the time-consuming process of capturing multiple discrete focal-plane images.

Prospective clinical indication, post-hoc report leakage, and fusion design in multi-image chest radiograph classification: a patient-clustered evaluation

This study evaluates multi-modal chest radiograph classification using patient-clustered bootstrapping to demonstrate that while prospective clinical indications significantly improve performance, post-hoc report text creates substantial label leakage, and permutation-aware fusion strategies like DeepSets and random-swap offer competitive, well-calibrated alternatives to standard fusion methods.
