The spatio-temporal coherence in data plays an important role in echocardiographic segmentation. While learning offline dynamical priors from databases has received considerable attention, these priors may not be suitable for post-infarct patients and children with congenital heart disease. This paper presents a dynamical appearance model (DAM) driven by individual inherent data coherence. It employs multi-scale sparse representation of local appearance, learns online multiscale appearance dictionaries as the image sequence is segmented sequentially, and integrates a spectrum of complementary multiscale appearance information including intensity, multiscale local appearance, and dynamical shape predictions. It overcomes the limitations of database-driven statistical models and applies to a broader range of subjects. Results on 26 4D canine echocardiographic images acquired from both healthy and post-infarct subjects show that our method significantly improves segmentation accuracy and robustness compared to a conventional intensity model and our previous single-scale sparse representation method.

Modeling Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images is crucial for numerous image processing applications and aids ophthalmologists in the early detection of macular abnormalities. Sparse representation-based models, particularly dictionary learning (DL), play a pivotal role in image modeling. Traditional DL methods often transform higher-order tensors into vectors and then aggregate them into a matrix, which overlooks the inherent multi-dimensional structure of the data.

In shallow water, reverberation complicates the detection of low-intensity, variable-echo moving targets, such as divers. Traditional methods often fail to distinguish these targets from reverberation, and data-driven methods are constrained by the limited data on intruding targets. This paper introduces the online robust principal component analysis and multimodal anomaly detection (ORMAD) method to address these challenges.

A generic and versatile CT Image Reconstruction (CTIR) scheme can efficiently mitigate imaging noise resulting from inherent physical limitations, substantially bolstering the dependability of CT imaging diagnostics across a wider spectrum of patient cases. Current CTIR techniques often concentrate on distinct areas such as Low-Dose CT denoising (LDCTD), Sparse-View CT reconstruction (SVCTR), and Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR). Nevertheless, due to the intricate nature of multi-scenario CTIR, these techniques frequently narrow their focus to specific tasks, resulting in limited generalization capabilities for diverse scenarios.

Computational prediction of the interaction of T cell receptors (TCRs) and their ligands is a grand challenge in immunology. Despite advances in high-throughput assays, specificity-labeled TCR data remain sparse. In other domains, the pre-training of language models on unlabeled data has been successfully used to address data bottlenecks.

The Waddington landscape was initially proposed to depict cell differentiation, and has been extended to explain phenomena such as reprogramming. The landscape serves as a concrete representation of cellular differentiation potential, yet the precise representation of this potential remains an unsolved problem, posing significant challenges to reconstructing the Waddington landscape. The characterization of cellular differentiation potential relies on transcriptomic signatures of known markers typically.
