Multi-Level Evidence Aggregation for Robust Facial Phenotype Retrieval in Rare Genetic Disorder Prioritization

AI-assisted facial phenotyping supports rare genetic disorder prioritization by retrieving visually similar diagnosed cases from facial image reference databases such as the GestaltMatcher Database (GMDB). Existing GestaltMatcher-based retrieval frameworks compare each test image with individual gallery images in a facial phenotype embedding space.

ProtoPointNet: Prototype-Based Interpretable Classification of 3D Dental Point Clouds with Verifiable Spatial Activations

Prototype-based networks provide inherently interpretable classification by linking predictions to learned exemplars, but their use in 3D point clouds and clinical surface-pair reasoning remains limited. We introduce ProtoPointNet, a prototype-based model for dental occlusion classification from registered upper--lower intraoral arch pairs.

GestaltMML: Enhancing Rare Genetic Disease Diagnosis through Multimodal Machine Learning Combining Facial Images and Clinical Text

arXiv:2312. 15320v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Individuals with suspected rare genetic disorders often undergo multiple clinical evaluations, imaging studies, laboratory tests, and genetic tests over a prolonged period of time, a process commonly described as the diagnostic odyssey.

SCALP: Semi-Supervised Statistical Shape Modeling from Imperfect 3D Photogrammetry via Landmark-Anchored Spectral Warp

arXiv:2608. 00187v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Correspondence-based statistical shape modeling (SSM) is vital for population-level morphometric analysis, but conventional pipelines assume clean, fully registered surfaces.

Towards Unified Dynamic Face Landmark Detection

arXiv:2608. 10346v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although advancements in face landmark detection (FLD) methods continue to push performance boundaries, they overlook two major functional limitations: (1) different network parameters need to be trained independently for each ``$N$-point'' benchmark dataset, and (2) a model trained on an ``$N$-point'' dataset reliably outputs only the $N$ landmarks.

3D Weighted Geometric Graph Neural Networks for Sheep Facial Pain Assessment

arXiv:2608. 11050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning systems perform mainly within the 2D for a single image domain and take the face as a single-dimension representation, losing sight of the 3D anatomy of sheep and cross-landmark spatial relationships that are intrinsic to the clinically proven Sheep Pain Facial Expression Scale (SPFES).
