MoPET: Parameter-Efficient Mixture-of-Experts for Unified Medical Image Classification

arXiv:2607. 29462v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adapting deep learning models to profound clinical heterogeneity typically relies on parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) to avoid the severe overfitting associated with full end-to-end network updates.

FFR: Forward-Forward Learning for Regression

arXiv:2606. 03927v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Forward-Forward (FF) algorithm offers a computationally efficient and biologically plausible alternative to backpropagation (BP) by training neural networks through purely local, layer-wise optimization.

CAMEL: Cross-Architecture Masked Embedding Learning for Ultra-Lightweight Retinal Foundation Models

CAMEL (Cross-Architecture Masked Embedding Learning) is a new distillation framework that transfers knowledge from large foundation models to lightweight student models using an asymmetric masking strategy during embedding learning. The method is designed for retinal image analysis, where existing foundation models like RETFound excel but are computationally heavy. Experiments on four datasets demonstrate that CAMEL maintains accuracy while dramatically reducing computational complexity, making it suitable for resource‑limited clinical settings.

FFR: Forward-Forward Learning for Regression

The Forward-Forward (FF) algorithm offers a computationally efficient and biologically plausible alternative to backpropagation (BP) by training neural networks through purely local, layer-wise optimization. However, FF is inherently designed for classification via contrastive positive-negative sample pairs, and extending it to regression poses fundamental challenges: continuous target space lack natural "opposites" for contrastive learning, and the standard goodness function carries no information about target magnitude or ordering.
