Heterogeneity-Aware Deep Learning for Tumour Classification from Multiparametric MRI

Intra-tumoural heterogeneity (ITH) reflects spatial variation in tumour biology and is an important determinant of tumour behaviour, prognosis, and treatment response. Radiomics and deep learning have shown promise for tumour classification from multiparametric MRI (mp-MRI), but radiomics relies on handcrafted features, while most deep learning methods use whole-tumour representations or manually ...

Designing Reinforcement Learning for Diffusion Models: A Unified Path-Space View

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training provides a direct way to align diffusion models with human preferences and task-specific rewards. However, current RL algorithms for diffusion models remain fragmented: reverse-trajectory methods rely on discretized likelihood ratios, whereas forward-matching methods train on reward-labeled noising versions of the rollout samples. This paper shows that the...
