TMF-RSE: Tri-Modal Fusion with Regional Semantics and Evidential Uncertainty for Lung Severity Scoring

Fadi Abdeladhim Zidi, Salah Eddine Bekhouche, Abdellah Zakaria Sellam, Gaby Maroun, Fadi Dornaika, Cosimo Distante

Accurate quantification of lung disease severity from chest imaging is critical for clinical decision-making and resource allocation. We propose a tri-modal deep learning framework, TMF-RSE (Tri-Modal Fusion with Regional Semantics and Evidential Uncertainty), that combines appearance features from two-dimensional chest inputs, structural features from lung segmentation masks, and semantic features from vision-language models (VLMs) for severity quantification. Our approach employs complementary fusion mechanisms that integrate semantic guidance, structural priors, and hierarchical interactions across modalities. The model employs evidential regression to provide both severity predictions and uncertainty estimates. Experiments on the Per-COVID-19 CT and RALO datasets show that TMF-RSE outperforms recent transformer-based baselines, achieving MAE of 4.02 and Pearson correlation of 0.9629 on Per-COVID-19 validation, and 0.339 MAE / 0.973 PC on RALO geographic extent.

Time-Reversed Imaging: A Multimodal Benchmark and Framework for Reconstructing Past Human-Environment Interactions

Jorge Bacca, Kebin Contreras, Luis Toscano-Palomino, Mauro Dalla Mura

We introduce time-reversed imaging, a new paradigm that infers what just happened in a scene from fading multimodal traces. Instead of extrapolating or interpolating video frames, our goal is to infer past human-environment interactions from residual physical imprints observable…

Emergent Region-Level Facial Correspondence in Frozen Vision Foundation Models

Izaldein Al-Zyoud, Abdulmotaleb El Saddik

Frozen self-supervised vision models can align parts of generic objects, but it remains unclear whether this correspondence extends to human faces, where global layout is shared while identity-specific appearance varies sharply. We test whether frozen DINOv3 features define a reg…

BLUE: Semantics-Preserving Video Compression for Efficient Vision-Language Surveillance Analytics

Shubham Baid, Akash James, Sahil Chachra, Nishant Sinha, Kunal Kislay

Continuous surveillance video creates a growing storage, transmission, and inference burden for enterprise video analytics systems. While modern codecs such as H.265 reduce bitrate for human-viewable video, aggressive compression can degrade downstream computer-vision performance…

Self-Auditing Residual Drifting for Pathology-Preserving Accelerated Knee MRI

Qing Lyu, Jianxu Wang, Mohammad Kawas, Ge Wang, Christopher T. Whitlow

Accelerated magnetic resonance imaging reduces acquisition time, but reconstruction from undersampled k-space can blur diagnostically relevant structures or introduce failures that are not captured by global image metrics. We propose SA-RDM-DC, a Self-Auditing Residual generative…
