Skeletal Prototypes on Iterative Nerve Expansions

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces Skeletal Prototypes on Iterative Nerve Expansions (SPINE), a prototype reduction method that represents each class as an embedded 1‑complex rather than a finite set of points. SPINE constructs its initial edge set from a class‑conditional Mapper graph, then refines vertex positions under a classification objective, allowing observations to be assigned to the nearest complex. Evaluated on seventeen benchmark datasets with stratified 10‑fold cross‑validation, SPINE achieves the highest mean accuracy and best average rank among seven competing methods, showing significant improvements over five of them and competitive performance across varying prototype budgets.

OpenVeinNet: Robust Open-Set Finger Vein Verification with Dynamic Snake Convolution and Graph Learning

OpenVeinNet is a finger vein verification framework that tackles open-set scenarios by combining Dynamic Snake Convolution, which extracts local curvilinear vein structures through adaptive sampling, with a graph convolutional backbone that models long-range topological relationships between vein regions. The model introduces a Centroid Angular Hybrid Loss to promote intra-class compactness and inter-class angular separation in the embedding space. Experiments on five public datasets under leave-one-dataset-out training demonstrate strong cross-dataset generalisation, low equal error rates, and competitive true accept rates at fixed false accept rates.

LuMamba: Latent Unified Mamba for Electrode Topology-Invariant and Efficient EEG Modeling

arXiv:2603. 19100v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) enables non-invasive monitoring of brain activity across clinical and neurotechnology applications, yet building foundation models for EEG remains challenging due to differing electrode topologies and computational scalability, as Transformer architectures incur quadratic sequence complexity.

Anatomy-Decomposed Chest Computed Tomography (CT) Projections as Scalable Supervision for Bone Suppression in Chest Radiographs

arXiv:2609.24937v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bone overlap can obscure abnormalities in chest radiographs, while scarce paired training data limit supervised bone suppression. We address this chall...
