CEM‑TUDASR is a lightweight, unsupervised Transformer‑based super‑resolution framework designed for Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) images. It uses a domain‑adaptive degradation network to synthesize realistic low‑resolution WCE images from high‑resolution conventional endoscopy data, enabling unpaired training. The SR generator incorporates Deep Attention Blocks and a Fusion Attention Block to preserve both global context and fine local structures, achieving superior no‑reference quality metrics and improved restoration of mucosal textures, vascular patterns, and anatomical details while remaining computationally efficient.

UnCapsTSR is an unsupervised transformer-based GAN framework designed to enhance the spatial resolution of low‑resolution wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) images. It eliminates the need for explicit degradation modeling or paired LR‑HR data by using a Bilateral Total Variation loss to preserve spatial continuity. The authors introduce a new Kvasir Capsule dataset for training, validate generalizability on KID and GIANA datasets, and propose the Endoscopy Quality Metric (EndoQM) as a non‑reference evaluation tool, reporting 40–80% improvement in EndoQM over state‑of‑the‑art unsupervised methods.

EndoFSA is a GAN-based model designed for endoscopic few-shot image generation, addressing the scarcity of pathological samples in wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) data. It adapts a generator pretrained on abundant normal images to abnormal domains by updating only a small set of rank-constrained modulation parameters while keeping the rest of the weights frozen, thereby preserving anatomical priors and preventing mode collapse. The method incorporates perceptual boundary regularization and cluster-wise diversity control, operates without pixel-level annotations, and demonstrates that synthetic abnormal images can match real images in downstream classification performance.

MultiAttenGastro is a plug‑and‑play attention framework that adds parallel 1‑D channel, 2‑D spatial, and 3‑D contextual heads to existing CNN and transformer backbones for gastrointestinal endoscopy classification. Across eight backbones and five public GI datasets, the framework improves performance on large‑gap datasets such as Kvasir‑Capsule but shows no benefit on small‑gap benchmarks like Kvasir‑v2, with mixed results elsewhere. Analysis using Centered Kernel Alignment indicates that the gains are linked to representational redundancy: low inter‑head redundancy under large domain gaps yields consistent improvements, while high redundancy under small gaps leads to losses.

Multimodal fusion learning (MFL) has shown great potential in the medical domain, where we are faced with disparate data modalities such as imaging, clinical records, and omics. However, existing MFL strategies face several major challenges.
