SliceFine: The Universal Winning-Slice Hypothesis for Pretrained Networks

ICML 2026poster

This paper presents a theoretical framework that explains why fine-tuning small, randomly selected subnetworks (slices) within pre-trained models is sufficient for downstream adaptation. We prove that pretrained networks exhibit a universal winning slice property, arising from two phenomena: (1) spe…

ColibriDoc: an Eye-in-Hand Autonomous Trocar Docking System

ICRA 2022poster

Retinal surgery is a complex medical procedure that requires exceptional expertise and dexterity. For this purpose, several robotic platforms are currently under development to enable or improve the outcome of microsurgical tasks. Since the control of such robots is often designed for navigation ins…

Toward real-time 3D ultrasound registration-based visual servoing for interventional navigation

ICRA 2016

While intraoperative imaging is commonly used to guide surgical interventions, automatic robotic support for image-guided navigation has not yet been established in clinical routine. In this paper, we propose a novel visual servoing framework that combines, for the first time, full image-based 3D ul
