arXiv:2608. 13660v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical image segmentation models are typically trained under the assumption that all data are available simultaneously.

arXiv:2605. 23995v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-supervised learning (SSL) is increasingly used in medical image analysis to reduce dependence on costly expert annotations by learning transferable representations from unlabeled data.

arXiv:2607. 03103v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clinical cardiac imaging pipelines currently deploy separate models for each dataset and modality, incurring redundant training costs and precluding knowledge sharing across anatomically related tasks.

Survival analysis on Whole Slide Images (WSIs) is important in computational pathology for prognosis estimation and treatment planning. However, existing survival models are typically trained independently for each cancer cohort, making continual adaptation computationally expensive for gigapixel-scale WSIs.
arXiv:2606. 03843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual learning methods aim to maximize the stability and plasticity of machine learning models that are trained on a sequence of tasks.

arXiv:2605. 20247v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting remains a major obstacle to continual learning in large language models (LLMs) and vision--language models (VLMs).

In clinical practice, patients often undergo multiple imaging examinations over successive visits, yielding longitudinal data. Modeling such temporal information is crucial for reliable assessment of disease progression and treatment response.
arXiv:2606. 29102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Jointly learning to segment and classify medical images demands cross-task synergy, yet encoder-sharing architectures limit decoder reconstruction to task-private representations, permanently discarding the boundary cues and semantic priors each branch could supply to the other.
