WASP: Weakly Aligned Spatiotemporal Pairs for Fetal Brain MRI-Ultrasound Learning

Francesco Correnti, Gabriele Magrini, Marco Mistretta +6

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is widely regarded as the optimal sensor for fetal brain analysis due to its superior soft-tissue contrast and anatomical detail. However, its high…

Spherical Interpolation for Backward-Compatible Multimodal Representations

Simone Ricci, Niccolò Biondi, Federico Pernici

Contrastive vision-language models map visual and textual representations into a shared normalized embedding space, making cosine similarity the natural metric for cross-modal retr…

A Stationary (and Therefore Compatible) Representation is All You Need

Niccolò Biondi, Federico Pernici, Simone Ricci +1

Learning compatible representations aims to learn feature representations that can be used interchangeably over time whenever a model undergoes updates. In this paper, we demonstra…
