arXiv:2608. 10401v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) operators frequently adjust the field-of-view (FOV) during procedures, which interrupts workflow and increases procedure time.

Background: Laparoscopic camera navigation (LCN) is a critical skill, yet its current assessment typically relies on manual rating systems which are time-consuming and difficult to scale. Automated feedback could significantly enhance surgical training by providing immediate, standardized metrics.
arXiv:2507. 15833v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Human vision is a highly active process driven by gaze, which directs attention to task-relevant regions through foveation, dramatically reducing visual processing.

arXiv:2608. 07876v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous laparoscopic camera control requires continuous understanding of the surgeon's operative intent in dynamic surgical scenes, where the target operative region is not a stable physical object but a latent and temporally evolving attention state.

arXiv:2607. 07189v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) and agentic AI have shown strong performance on semantic visual tasks, but it remains unclear whether they can handle the physics and inverse problems that underlie computational imaging.

arXiv:2511. 20853v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training and evaluation of state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms for reliable shallow depth of field (DoF) rendering and defocus deblurring remain constrained by a persistent lack of large-scale, full-frame, high fidelity, real-image datasets.

Persistent shortages in the surgical workforce and inherent limitations of traditional training methods highlight the necessity of automated, data-driven approaches in surgical education. This study addresses these challenges by introducing a novel, explainable AI-powered framework for automated skill assessment, specifically focusing on cataract surgery.
arXiv:2606. 02735v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generalization remains a central bottleneck for vision-language-action (VLA) models: under distractors, appearance shifts, and semantically similar tasks, the policy must often infer local execution details from coarse instructions while also deciding which parts of the image matter for control.

arXiv:2606. 25177v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cognitive workload monitoring is important for adaptive rehabilitation and assistive interfaces, where task difficulty, pacing, and feedback should be adjusted according to the user's cognitive state to avoid overload and under-challenge.
