Abstract

A common neurodegenerative disease, Alzheimer's disease requires a precise diagnosis and efficient treatment, particularly in light of escalating healthcare expenses and the expanding use of artificial intelligence in medical diagnostics. Many recent studies shows that the combination of brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and deep neural networks have achieved promising results for diagnosing AD. Using deep convolutional neural networks, this paper introduces a novel deep learning architecture that incorporates multiresidual blocks, specialized spatial attention blocks, grouped query attention, and multi-head attention. The study assessed the model's performance on four publicly accessible datasets and concentrated on identifying binary and multiclass issues across various categories. This paper also takes into account of the explainability of AD's progression and compared with state-of-the-art methods namely Gradient Class Activation Mapping (GradCAM), Score-CAM, Faster Score-CAM, and XGRADCAM. Our methodology consistently outperforms current approaches, achieving 99.66\% accuracy in 4-class classification, 99.63\% in 3-class classification, and 100\% in binary classification using Kaggle datasets. For Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) datasets the accuracies are 99.92\%, 99.90\%, and 99.95\% respectively. The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative-1 (ADNI-1) dataset was used for experiments in three planes (axial, sagittal, and coronal) and a combination of all planes. The study achieved accuracies of 99.08\% for axis, 99.85\% for sagittal, 99.5\% for coronal, and 99.17\% for all axis, and 97.79\% and 8.60\% respectively for ADNI-2. The network's ability to retrieve important information from MRI images is demonstrated by its excellent accuracy in categorizing AD stages.

SCI-Mamba: Unsupervised Learning based Low-Light Image Enhancement for Non-Cooperative Spacecraft

Low-light visual perception acts as the core visual foundation for on-orbit servicing missions targeting non-cooperative spacecraft, supporting autonomous rendezvous, pose estimation, component detection and robotic capture operations. Spaceborne imagery suffers from severe low-light degradation, while the extreme scarcity of paired normal/low-light space samples severely limits the generalization capacity of supervised enhancement algorithms. To address this practical bottleneck, this paper proposes SCI-Mamba, an unsupervised enhancement network for low-light orbital spacecraft observations. The proposed framework unites self-calibrated unsupervised learning, linear-complexity VMamba architecture and Retinex physical priors, delivering a lightweight enhancement pipeline adaptable to resource-limited spaceborne hardware. We construct Space Dark-1.0, a dedicated low-light spacecraft dataset integrating real orbital footage, darkroom hardware-in-the-loop measurements and physically constrained synthetic data covering diverse illumination, motion and attitude conditions. Comprehensive comparisons with CNN-, Transformer- and prevailing Mamba-based approaches verify the advantages of SCI-Mamba in visual authenticity, color fidelity and inference speed. The proposed framework provides a practical low-light enhancement solution for close-proximity non-cooperative space operations. The code is available at https://github.com/bitswh/SCI-Mamba

Recursive Uncertainty-Gated Image Registration for Learning-based Algorithms

Conventional image registration algorithms are robust to domain shifts and achieve low errors, but they are slow and computationally expensive. Deep-learning methods are efficient at inference-time, but face challenges in out-of-domain samples. We propose Recursive Uncertainty-Gated Image Registration (RUGI), an algorithm for iteratively refining deformation fields predicted by learning-based registration models. At each iteration, the registration model predicts an incremental deformation, and a gating map modulates the update. Refinements are hence concentrated in regions that remain difficult to register. We explore two gating strategies: a learned uncertainty-based approach and an image residual error approach. We evaluate RUGI on cardiac MRI and echocardiography datasets and show consistent improvements over single-step inference. Ablation experiments demonstrate that iterative refinement alone improves registration, but informative spatial gating provides a significant additional benefit. The error-gated variant of RUGI can also be applied directly to existing pretrained models; applied to VoxelMorph, TransMorph, and CycleMorph, it yields MSE reductions of 27-37% with no modification to the original training procedure. The improvements in registration performance are reflected in decreased errors in ejection fraction estimation relative to ground truths. These results demonstrate that spatially selective iterative refinement provides an effective strategy to improve registration accuracy at inference-time.

STAMBRIDGE: Spectral-Temporal Amplitude-aware Mid-Feature Bridge for EEG Visual Decoding

Electroencephalography (EEG) visual decoding remains challenging due to the modality gap between low-SNR neural signals and highly structured vision--language spaces, making direct cross-modal alignment unstable. To address this, we propose STAMBRIDGE, a versatile two-stage framework that sequentially tackles feature conditioning and cross-modal alignment. First, we introduce a Spectral-Temporal Amplitude-aware Modulation (STAM) to extract well-conditioned EEG representations. By replacing hard frequency masking with amplitude-derived soft channel weighting and multi-scale temporal convolutions, STAM explicitly preserves frequency-aware transients while reducing the risk of time-domain ringing artifacts. Building upon these robust neural features, we further introduce a model-agnostic Mid-Feature Semantic Bridge (MFSB) that constructs a regularized intermediate space through directed cross-modal interactions, enabling staged distillation and more stable semantic alignment. Experiments on the THINGS-EEG benchmark show competitive 200-way zero-shot retrieval performance, with 34.50\% Top-1 and 65.95\% Top-5 accuracy. In addition, embeddings learned by STAMBRIDGE produce semantically coherent image reconstructions with a diffusion model, demonstrating robust EEG-to-vision semantic alignment.
