Artifact Removal and Image Restoration in AFM:A Structured Mask-Guided Directional Inpainting Approach

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) enables high-resolution surface imaging at the nanoscale, yet the output is often degraded by artifacts introduced by environmental noise, scanning imperfections, and tip-sample interactions. To address this challenge, a lightweight and fully automated framework for artifact detection and restoration in AFM image analysis is presented. The pipeline begins with a classification model that determines whether an AFM image contains artifacts. If necessary, a lightweight semantic segmentation network, custom-designed and trained on AFM data, is applied to generate precise artifact masks. These masks are adaptively expanded based on their structural orientation and then inpainted using a directional neighbor-based interpolation strategy to preserve 3D surface continuity. A localized Gaussian smoothing operation is then applied for seamless restoration. The system is integrated into a user-friendly GUI that supports real-time parameter adjustments and batch processing. Experimental results demonstrate the effective artifact removal while preserving nanoscale structural details, providing a robust, geometry-aware solution for high-fidelity AFM data interpretation.

In-Context Adaptation of VLMs for Few-Shot Cell Detection in Optical Microscopy

Foundation vision-language models (VLMs) excel on natural images, but their utility for biomedical microscopy remains underexplored. In this paper, we investigate how in-context learning enables state-of-the-art VLMs to perform few-shot object detection when large annotated datasets are unavailable, as is often the case with microscopic images. We introduce the Micro-OD benchmark, a curated collection of 252 images specifically curated for in-context learning, with bounding-box annotations spanning 11 cell types across four sources, including two in-lab expert-annotated sets. We systematically evaluate eight VLMs under few-shot conditions and compare variants with and without implicit test-time reasoning tokens. We further implement a hybrid Few-Shot Object Detection (FSOD) pipeline that combines a detection head with a VLM-based few-shot classifier, which enhances the few-shot performance of recent VLMs on our benchmark. Across datasets, we observe that zero-shot performance is weak due to the domain gap; however, few-shot support consistently improves detection, with marginal gains achieved after six shots. We observe that models with reasoning tokens are more effective for end-to-end localization, whereas simpler variants are more suitable for classifying pre-localized crops. Our results highlight in-context adaptation as a practical path for microscopy, and our benchmark provides a reproducible testbed for advancing open-vocabulary detection in biomedical imaging.

Principles and Components of Federated Learning Architectures

Federated Learning (FL) is a machine learning framework where multiple clients, from mobiles to enterprises, collaboratively construct a model under the orchestration of a central server but still retain the decentralized nature of the training data. This decentralized training of models offers numerous advantages, including cost savings, enhanced privacy, improved security, and compliance with legal requirements. However, for all its apparent advantages, FL is not immune to the limitations of conventional machine learning methodologies. This article provides an elaborate explanation of the inherent concepts and features found within federated learning architecture, addressing five key domains: system heterogeneity, data partitioning, machine learning models, communication protocols, and privacy techniques. This article also highlights the limitations in this domain and proposes avenues for future work. Besides, we provide a set of architectural patterns for federated learning systems, which are derived from the systematic survey of the literature. The main elements of FL, the fundamentals of Federated Learning, and a few architectural specifics will all be better understood with the aid of this research.

Trustworthy XAI and Application

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an important part of our everyday lives. We use it in self-driving cars and smartphone assistants. People often call it a "black box" because its complex systems, especially deep neural networks, are hard to understand. This complexity raises concerns about accountability, bias, and fairness, even though AI can be quite accurate. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is important for building trust. It helps ensure that AI systems work reliably and ethically. This article looks at XAI and its three main parts: transparency, explainability, and trustworthiness. We will discuss why these components matter in real-life situations. We will also review recent studies that show how XAI is used in different fields. Ultimately, gaining trust in AI systems is crucial for their successful use in society.

Active Learning on Medical Image

The development of medical science greatly depends on the increased utilization of machine learning algorithms. By incorporating machine learning, the medical imaging field can significantly improve in terms of the speed and accuracy of the diagnostic process. Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray imaging, ultrasound imaging, and positron emission tomography (PET) are the most commonly used types of imaging data in the diagnosis process, and machine learning can aid in detecting diseases at an early stage. However, training machine learning models with limited annotated medical image data poses a challenge. The majority of medical image datasets have limited data, which can impede the pattern-learning process of machine-learning algorithms. Additionally, the lack of labeled data is another critical issue for machine learning. In this context, active learning techniques can be employed to address the challenge of limited annotated medical image data. Active learning involves iteratively selecting the most informative samples from a large pool of unlabeled data for annotation by experts. By actively selecting the most relevant and informative samples, active learning reduces the reliance on large amounts of labeled data and maximizes the model's learning capacity with minimal human labeling effort. By incorporating active learning into the training process, medical imaging machine learning models can make more efficient use of the available labeled data, improving their accuracy and performance. This approach allows medical professionals to focus their efforts on annotating the most critical cases, while the machine learning model actively learns from these annotated samples to improve its diagnostic capabilities.

Generative Adversarial Networks for Data Augmentation

One way to expand the available dataset for training AI models in the medical field is through the use of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for data augmentation. GANs work by employing a generator network to create new data samples that are then assessed by a discriminator network to determine their similarity to real samples. The discriminator network is taught to differentiate between actual and synthetic samples, while the generator system is trained to generate data that closely resemble real ones. The process is repeated until the generator network can produce synthetic data that is indistinguishable from genuine data. GANs have been utilized in medical image analysis for various tasks, including data augmentation, image creation, and domain adaptation. They can generate synthetic samples that can be used to increase the available dataset, especially in cases where obtaining large amounts of genuine data is difficult or unethical. However, it is essential to note that the use of GANs in medical imaging is still an active area of research to ensure that the produced images are of high quality and suitable for use in clinical settings.
