Diffusion with a Linguistic Compass: Steering the Generation of Clinically Plausible Future sMRI Representations for Early MCI Conversion Prediction

CVPR 2026

Early prediction of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) conversion is hampered by a trade-off between immediacy--making fast predictions from a single baseline sMRI--and accuracy--leveraging longitudinal scans to capture disease progression. We propose MCI-Diff, a diffusion-based framework that synthesi

Curriculum Hierarchical Knowledge Distillation for Bias-Free Survival Prediction

IJCAI 2025

Survival prediction is a pivotal task for estimating mortality risk within a given timeframe based on whole slide images (WSIs). Conventional models typically assume that WSIs across patients are independent and identically distributed, an assumption that may not hold due to inherent variability in

From Representation Space to Prognostic Insights: Whole Slide Image Generation with Hierarchical Diffusion Model for Survival Prediction

AAAI 2025technical

Deep learning has significantly enhanced survival prediction using whole slide images (WSIs) by adopting a two-stage learning paradigm: WSI preparation and patient-level prediction. While existing research generally concentrates on developing advanced patient-level prediction modules, the critical i…

Explainable Survival Analysis with Convolution-Involved Vision Transformer

AAAI 2022technical

Image-based survival prediction models can facilitate doctors in diagnosing and treating cancer patients. With the advance of digital pathology technologies, the big whole slide images (WSIs) provide increasing resolution and more details for diagnosis. However, the gigabyte-size WSIs would make mos…
