SurgiATM: A Physics-Guided Plug-and-Play Model for Deep Learning-Based Smoke Removal in Laparoscopic Surgery

The paper introduces SurgiATM, a lightweight physics-guided module for removing surgical smoke from laparoscopic endoscopic frames. It integrates a physics-based atmospheric model with a data-driven deep learning approach via a Mixture-of-Experts output stage, using a Laplacian-like error distribution to model smoke. SurgiATM adds only two hyperparameters and no extra trainable weights, enabling easy integration into existing desmoking architectures and improving accuracy and stability across multiple datasets and procedures.

Progressive Experience Fusion for Multi-Task World Model Control in Endovascular Navigation

The paper introduces Progressive Experience Fusion (PEF) for training a multi-task TD-MPC2 controller to navigate endovascular paths across diverse vascular anatomies. PEF outperforms Soft Actor-Critic and base TD-MPC2, achieving 74% success on training anatomies and 90% on held‑out vasculatures. The controller also transfers to an unseen in‑vitro stroke patient, improving path ratio from 63% to 80% after fine‑tuning.

Beyond Compression: Training Latent Representations for Stable Long-Horizon Rollout in Neural Surrogate Solvers

The paper investigates why latent neural surrogate solvers, which compress physical system dynamics into a lower‑dimensional space, often fail during long‑horizon autoregressive rollouts. It demonstrates that training the latent representation only for reconstruction leads to instability, and proposes a set of training interventions—Koopman operator learning, Hamming noise injection, and multi‑step rollout fine‑tuning—that align the latent space with long‑horizon forecasting. These interventions reduce long‑rollout error by about 40 % and achieve accuracy comparable to full‑resolution models while using far fewer floating‑point operations and GPU memory, enabling stable extrapolation in mesoscale crystal‑plasticity simulations of high‑cycle fatigue.

On the training of physics-informed neural operators for solving parametric partial differential equations

arXiv:2606. 06164v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed neural operators (PINOs) aim to learn solution operators for partial differential equations by using the governing physics as supervision, rather than relying solely on paired input-output simulation data.
