Medical Image Segmentation based on Deep Active Contour and Mean Curvature Loss Function

The paper introduces a Deep Active Contour and Mean Curvature (DACMC) loss function for medical image segmentation. By incorporating mean curvature as a geometric constraint and approximating it with a convolution kernel, the method aims to improve the geometric characterization of segmented regions. Experiments on liver and spleen datasets show that DACMC achieves new state‑of‑the‑art performance across several segmentation benchmarks.

Nested Inductive Bias Framework for SPD Manifold Learning

The paper introduces a Nested Inductive Bias framework that uses a two‑stage diffeomorphic composition to pull back non‑Euclidean target geometries onto symmetric positive definite (SPD) manifolds. This approach allows the construction of curvature‑aligned Riemannian classifiers that respect both matrix constraints and the intrinsic relational geometry of data. Empirical results on kinematic, signal processing, and synthetic benchmarks show that class separability degrades when metric curvature does not match the data distribution, and the authors also propose the Rational Conformal Metric (RCM) for robust vectorized architectures.
