ReFace: Reorganizing Facial Spatiotemporal Representations for Improved Pain Assessment

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Automatic pain assessment from facial video remains challenging due to the spatial heterogeneity of pain-related facial cues. This study proposes ReFace, a spatial reorganization pipeline that divides facial input into four spatial quadrants before tokenization, rather than processing the entire face as a single region.

3D Weighted Geometric Graph Neural Networks for Sheep Facial Pain Assessment

arXiv:2608. 11050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning systems perform mainly within the 2D for a single image domain and take the face as a single-dimension representation, losing sight of the 3D anatomy of sheep and cross-landmark spatial relationships that are intrinsic to the clinically proven Sheep Pain Facial Expression Scale (SPFES).

An Exploratory Analysis of Pain Localization via Explainable Computational Modeling

Automatic pain localization, which involves identifying the anatomical origin of pain from peripheral physiological signals without patient self-report, is a clinically critical but largely unaddressed problem, particularly for non-verbal patients. This paper presents a systematic comparison of classical feature engineering and deep sequence learning for subject-independent three-class pain localization using the AI4Pain 2026 Challenge dataset, which comprises four synchronously recorded wearable modalities: electrodermal activity, blood volume pulse, respiration, and peripheral oxygen saturation recorded from 65 participants under controlled TENS-induced pain.

FUSE: Frame-Unified Stress Estimation from Facial Video

arXiv:2608. 10442v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic stress detection from facial video offers a practical path to non-intrusive affect monitoring, yet existing video-based approaches commonly decompose full recordings into short temporal windows before classification.

MedPruner: Training-Free Hierarchical Token Pruning for Efficient 3D Medical Image Understanding in Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2603. 11625v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While specialized Medical Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable success in interpreting 2D and 3D medical modalities, their deployment for 3D volumetric data remains constrained by significant computational inefficiencies.
