Masked Topology Modeling for Self-Supervised Learning on Parametric CAD

Heinrich Jiang, Jennifer Jang

Computer aided design (CAD) is ubiquitous: virtually any modern object was designed using editable CAD tools. However, with the shortage of available CAD datasets in its native editable and parametric format, boundary representation (B-Rep), it is ever more important to develop data-efficient methods for this domain. We present a new self-supervised pretraining task, Masked Topology Modeling (MTM), that leverages the face-adjacency graph, an induced structure unique to B-reps that the encoder can be asked to reconstruct. MTM masks a fraction of edges and trains a small head to predict each masked edge's convexity and curve type from the encoder's post-message-passing face features. We combine MTM with a MoCo-style momentum-queue contrastive learning over B-rep-aware augmentations, a BFS-connected face-region masked-reconstruction objective, and pretraining on the ABC dataset and our new procedurally generated dataset to show strong performance on a number of benchmarks.

TVT-PAPD: Pathology-Aware Prototype Distillation for Self-Supervised Whole Slide Image Classification

Ramesh Naidu Laveti, Jaya Sreevalsan-Nair, T K Srikanth

Self-supervised learning (SSL) has emerged as an effective paradigm for learning transferable representations from large-scale unlabeled whole slide images (WSIs). However, existing SSL methods primarily learn generic visual features and often fail to explicitly capture pathology…

Mirror-Fusion Attention for Reflection-Aware Self-Supervised Representation Learning

Ruixin Li, Jin Liu, Yuling Shi, Stefano Lodi

Most self-supervised learning (SSL) methods encourage invariance across augmentations, but strict flip invariance can suppress informative left--right correspondences in approximately bilateral data such as medical images and human faces. We propose Mirror-Fusion-Augmented Self-S…

Multimodality as Supervision: Self-Supervised Specialization to the Test Environment via Multimodality

Kunal Pratap Singh, Ali Garjani, Rishubh Singh, Muhammad Uzair Khattak, Efe Tarhan, Jason Toskov, et al.

Cross-modal learning, i.e., learning to predict one modality from another, is a fundamental mechanism for self-supervision via leveraging multimodality. Many practical applications, e.g., deploying a household robot, involve devices that are equipped with a rich set of sensors th…

Self-supervision drives representational convergence in medical foundation models more than clinical supervision

Soroosh Tayebi Arasteh, Sebastian Ziegelmayer, Mahshad Lotfinia, Lisa Adams, Sven Nebelung, Jakob Nikolas Kather, et al.

Medical image encoders from different groups are increasingly treated as interchangeable, on the assumption that scale and clinical supervision concentrate their representations onto a shared structure. Whether this convergence is real, what produces it, and whether it is clinica…

PixCon: Clean-Positive Contrastive Learning for Foundation-Model Semi-Supervised Segmentation

Ebenezer Tarubinga

Semi-supervised semantic segmentation (SSSS) has long turned on one question, which pseudo-labels to trust, and answered it with ever more careful confidence filtering. Foundation backbones change the regime: with a DINOv2 teacher a strict threshold already retains a measured 98%…
