Cross-domain Few-shot Segmentation (CD-FSS) aims to transfer knowledge learned from source domain to distinct target domains, segmenting unseen target classes with only a few annotated samples. Although existing methods have made significant progress, they still rely on training or fine-tuning processes, which incur high computational costs and risk overfitting.
arXiv:2607. 05035v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Few-shot brain tumor segmentation remains challenging due to noisy support masks, inter-patient variations between support and query images, and the lack of pixel-wise confidence estimation.

arXiv:2607. 28967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompt tuning adapts vision--language models with few trainable parameters, but existing approaches trade off efficiency and adaptation: static textual prompts can overfit source classes, image-conditioned prompts add per-instance computation, and multimodal tuning modifies the visual branch.

The paper introduces Spatial‑FAD, a few‑shot medical anomaly detection framework that fuses Vision‑Language Model (CLIP) semantics with spatial priors from Vision Foundation Models (DINO). A VFM‑enhanced adapter injects structural affinity into CLIP features, while a sliding‑window aggregation produces high‑resolution embeddings for finer lesion localization. Prototype‑enhanced support memory further improves efficiency and performance, yielding significant gains on Liver CT, Retinal OCT, and Brain MRI datasets, notably an 11.4% Dice improvement in 4‑shot scenarios.

The paper introduces the Real‑Calibrated Synthetic‑First Data Engine, a modular pipeline that integrates controllable diffusion‑based synthetic image generation with multi‑stage curation, filtering, and optional uncertainty‑driven selection and human verification. Designed as a CLI‑based framework, it allows independent configuration of generation, filtering, selection, and validation modules to enhance reproducibility and flexibility in real‑world data workflows. Empirical tests on human pose estimation demonstrate that synthetic data can boost a real‑data baseline when used as low‑cost augmentation, though synthetic‑only training still lags behind real‑only performance, underscoring the importance of data‑centric orchestration in low‑data regimes.

The paper presents the first systematic evaluation of uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods applied to a foundation model for semantic segmentation. By fine‑tuning a lightweight DPT decoder on the pretrained SAM2 encoder, the authors benchmark four UQ approaches—Monte Carlo Dropout, Deep Sub‑Ensemble, Test‑Time Augmentation, and Evidential Deep Learning—across Cityscapes, NYUv2, and two out‑of‑domain settings, comparing segmentation accuracy, calibration, uncertainty quality, and inference time. The results reveal clear trade‑offs between predictive performance, reliability, and computational cost, underscoring both the promise and current limitations of uncertainty‑aware foundation models for real‑world deployment.
