AGA3DNet: Anatomy-Guided Gaussian Priors with Multi-view xLSTM for 3D Brain MRI Subtype Classification

Peiyu Duan, Xueqi Guo, Sepehr Farhand +5

Accurate 3D brain MRI subtype classification benefits from both localized anatomical cues and long-range contextual reasoning. We present AGA3DNet, a report-grounded framework that…

RAMPAGE: RAndomized Mid-Point for debiAsed Gradient Extrapolation

Zhankun Luo, M. Berk Sahin, Antesh Upadhyay +2

A celebrated method for Variational Inequalities (VIs) is Extragradient (EG), which can be viewed as a standard discrete-time integration scheme. With this view in mind, in this pa…
