Pain in 3D: Generating Controllable Synthetic Faces for Automated Pain Assessment
arXiv:2509. 16727v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automated pain assessment from facial expressions is crucial for non-communicative patient.
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).

Automatic pain assessment from facial video remains challenging due to the spatial heterogeneity of pain-related facial cues. This study proposes ReFace, a spatial reorganization pipeline that divides facial input into four spatial quadrants before tokenization, rather than processing the entire face as a single region.
arXiv:2608. 06037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Relational inductive biases are essential for capturing structural dependencies among data.
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.
Automatic pain localization, which involves identifying the anatomical origin of pain from peripheral physiological signals without patient self-report, is a clinically critical but largely unaddressed problem, particularly for non-verbal patients. This paper presents a systematic comparison of classical feature engineering and deep sequence learning for subject-independent three-class pain localization using the AI4Pain 2026 Challenge dataset, which comprises four synchronously recorded wearable modalities: electrodermal activity, blood volume pulse, respiration, and peripheral oxygen saturation recorded from 65 participants under controlled TENS-induced pain.
arXiv:2607. 05585v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: FaceMesh2HPO is a framework for classifying facial phenotypic descriptors aligned with the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) to support clinical diagnosis.
Brain tissue microstructure estimation with machine learning provides higher computational efficiency than conventional fitting. However, machine learning still presents important limitations that hamper its clinical utility.
arXiv:2512. 16184v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Early and accessible detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a critical clinical challenge, and cube-copying tasks offer a simple yet informative assessment of visuospatial function.
arXiv:2607. 09788v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, and early diagnosis is of great significance for delaying disease progression and enabling timely intervention.
arXiv:2608. 12689v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is a cornerstone for brain tumor diagnosis and treatment, yet current AI models face critical limitations: their lack of natural language interaction and interpretability impedes spatial information integration and cross-modal reasoning required clinically.
arXiv:2606. 05998v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Oral 3D modelling is one of the most essential stages in dentistry, and many different approaches, such as impression taking and intraoral scanning, are commonly used for this phase, each with notable limitations.
arXiv:2606. 15250v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radiographic assessment of lower-limb alignment (LLA) is important for predicting joint health and surgical outcomes in total knee arthroplasty.
