Efficient Autoencoding with Quadtree-based Visual Transformer Encoder

Seung Ho Jung, Kyu Hoon Moon, Geonhyeok Lee, Jitae Shin

Accepted
At a glance & figure

Spend fewer image tokens on simple backgrounds, then restore a dense grid for reconstruction.

  1. 01Entropy-based quadtree patches
  2. 02Compact ViT encoding
  3. 03Mask-token grid restoration
Compute vs. dense ViT-B

Reconstruction PSNR
29.60 dB

STL-10 benchmark: 36.21 vs. 43.88 GFLOPS; PSNR 29.60 vs. 34.03 dB for dense ViT-B (Table 1, p. 8).

Trade-off: less computation, but lower reconstruction quality than the dense baseline and visible artifacts in some skipped regions.

Five-column reconstruction comparison with quadtree patches, ground truth, FVQ, SoftVQ and the proposed method; red boxes and enlarged insets compare details around the cat eye.

Dual-Manifold Alignment Contrastive Learning for Knee Osteoarthritis Prediction

Seung Ho Jung, Jae Joon Lee, Jitae Shin

Published
At a glance & figure

Predict four-year knee osteoarthritis progression without assuming every patient follows the same path.

  1. 01One baseline knee X-ray
  2. 02Present and future latent spaces
  3. 03Align stability; separate progression
Progression-risk AUC
0.7638
Prediction horizon
48 months

OAI cohort of 4,796 image pairs with Site D held out for validation/test. Compared baseline AUC: 0.7289 (Table I, p. 4).

The input is a baseline radiograph; future grades provide training supervision. Results describe the reported OAI evaluation.

A baseline X-ray passes through a shared encoder to current and future grade heads and separate latent projections, followed by dual-manifold alignment.

Medical SAM Adapter++: Adaptive Normalization with Domain Interpretation for Better Adaptation

Seung Ho Jung, Jae Joon Lee, Jitae Shin

At a glance & figure

Use image-level domain context to adapt SAM normalization for medical segmentation.

  2. 02Interpret domain context
  3. 03Condition adaptive normalization

Noisy OAI ablation: Dice rises from 62.54% to 66.33%; IoU from 51.04% to 53.61% (Table II, p. 5).

This comparison isolates AdaLN and the domain interpreter. The separate denoised experiment reports different scores.

Med-SA encoder alongside Med-SA++, which adds a domain interpreter that conditions adaptive layer normalization.

Probabilistic Dynamic Causal Graphs for Root Cause Analysis with Distributional Forecasting

Hyunmin Kong, Chunsoo Ahn, Seung Ho Jung, Seung Yeol Yoo, Donghwi Shin, Jitae Shin

Accepted
At a glance & figure

Trace anomalous sensor readings back to likely causes while accounting for changing, uncertain relationships.

  1. 01Learn dynamic causal graphs
  2. 02Calibrate forecast uncertainty
  3. 03Rank residual and structural deviations
MSDS root-cause AC@1
0.827
SWaT root-cause AC@3
0.517

Mean AC@K on industrial benchmarks: MSDS AC@1 = 0.827 +/- 0.102; SWaT AC@3 = 0.517 +/- 0.037 (Table 3, p. 12).

AC@K measures recovery of root-cause variables among the top K candidates. The model does not lead every metric; RCG has higher SWaT AC@1.

Sensor time series feed dynamic causal graph estimation and distributional forecasting; forecast errors and causal structure errors combine to rank root causes.

Breast Ultrasound Image Dataset; reported 80/10/10 train/test/validation split. Results from Tables 4 and 5, pp. 12 and 14.

Illustrated cases include small, multiple and low-contrast lesions. The model predicts masks and normal, benign or malignant labels in a single framework.

Five ultrasound examples above their predicted segmentation masks: normal tissue, two benign cases and two malignant cases.
