SAUF-Net is a semi‑supervised medical image segmentation framework that learns structure–appearance representations with uncertainty feedback. It decomposes bottleneck features into structural and appearance components, injects them into decoding, and uses auxiliary decoders and a dual‑head discriminator to estimate reliability and uncertainty. Experiments on ISIC‑2016 and Kvasir‑SEG show that SAUF‑Net surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods, particularly when few labels are available.

Maternal-fetal US is the primary imaging modality for monitoring fetal development, yet accurate automated segmentation remains challenging due to the scarcity of pixel-level annotations. To address this issue, we propose DACL, a semi-supervised framework for robust fetal US image segmentation.

JEPAMatch introduces a new semi‑supervised learning framework that replaces traditional output‑thresholding with explicit geometric shaping of latent representations. By combining the FlexMatch loss with a latent‑space regularization inspired by LeJEPA, the method encourages isotropic Gaussian structure in the embedding space, mitigating class imbalance and noisy pseudo‑labels. Experiments on CIFAR‑100, STL‑10, and Tiny‑ImageNet show consistent performance gains and faster convergence compared to existing FixMatch‑based baselines.
The paper introduces SSS, a semi‑supervised framework that builds on the Vision Foundation Model SAM‑2 to improve medical image segmentation. It combines a weak‑to‑strong consistency regularization with a Discriminative Feature Enhancement mechanism and a prompt generator that uses Physical Constraints with a Sliding Window to supply prompts for unlabeled data. Experiments on the ACDC and BHSD datasets show that SSS outperforms prior methods, achieving a 53.15 Dice score on BHSD, a +3.65 improvement over the state of the art.
arXiv:2607. 09481v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-guided medical image segmentation leverages clinical semantics to improve lesion delineation, yet many existing models bind cross-modal fusion, supervision, and decoder design into a task-specific architecture.
The paper presents a semi‑supervised biomedical image segmentation method that uses a diffusion‑based teacher–student framework. The teacher is pretrained via unsupervised diffusion reconstruction and then co‑trained with a student, leveraging supervised labels and cross pseudo‑supervision on unlabeled data. A multi‑round extension generates multiple stochastic reconstructions to further refine pseudo‑labels, achieving competitive or superior results on several 2D and 3D biomedical datasets, especially when labels are scarce.

Recent advances in semi-supervised medical image segmentation have achieved remarkable performance through prediction consistency, pseudo-label supervision, and hard-region supervision. However, these methods primarily improve supervision quality rather than explicitly enforcing semantic consistency in the learned representations of hard regions.
