SurgMotion: A Video-Native Foundation Model for Universal Understanding of Surgical Videos

SurgMotion is a video-native foundation model that replaces pixel-level reconstruction with latent motion prediction for surgical video analysis. It introduces motion-guided masked prediction, spatiotemporal affinity self-distillation, and spatiotemporal feature diversity regularization to focus on semantically meaningful regions and avoid representation collapse. Trained on SurgMotion-15M, the largest surgical video dataset, it outperforms state-of-the-art methods across 17 benchmarks, improving workflow recognition, action triplet recognition, skill assessment, polyp segmentation, and depth estimation.

ProtoCAM: Interpretable Few-Shot Mask-Guided Prototypical Learning for Breast Lesion Classification in Ultrasound Imaging

ProtoCAM is an explainable few‑shot learning framework for classifying breast lesions in ultrasound images. It combines mask‑guided feature encoding, prototypical metric learning, and gradient‑based visual explanations to leverage limited annotated data. Evaluated on the BUSI dataset, ProtoCAM achieved a macro F1‑score of 0.910 in a 3‑way 5‑shot setting, outperforming standard supervised CNNs, with ResNet18 reaching 91.65% under 15‑shot conditions.
