NGPS: Structure-Preserving Self-Supervised Denoising via Neighbor-Guided Patch Sampling

Neighboring-slice self-supervised denoising is attractive for volumetric medical imaging, yet inter-slice misalignment breaks anatomical correspondence and often yields ghosting and blurred margins when adjacent slices are used naively as targets. We propose Neighbor-Guided Patch Sampling (NGPS), a lightweight framework that constructs neighboring supervision under local inter-slice misalignment without explicit registration. To avoid learning from misleading targets, prior methods commonly mask discrepant regions, but this stabilizes training at the cost of leaving a non-trivial portion of neighboring evidence unexploited, particularly around high-frequency anatomical boundaries. NGPS addresses this by decoupling structure matching from signal retrieval: for each masked location, it searches a local neighborhood for structurally similar candidate patches using a simple guide image (e.g., fast bilateral filtering), while retrieving the supervision signal directly from the raw noisy neighbor at the matched coordinates. By matching on a noise-attenuated guide while retrieving raw values from neighboring slices, NGPS constructs local pseudo targets without a learned registration module. Across the evaluated CT and synthetic-Rician MRI settings, NGPS improves fidelity and structure-sensitive metrics. Code is available at https://github.com/cv-cho/NGPS .

Erasing Thousands of Concepts: Towards Scalable and Practical Concept Erasure for Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

Large-scale text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models deliver remarkable visual fidelity but pose safety risks due to their capacity to reproduce undesirable content, such as copyrighted ones. Concept erasure has emerged as a mitigation strategy, yet existing approaches struggle to balance scalability, precision, and robustness, which restricts their applicability to erasing only a few hundred concepts. To address these limitations, we present Erasing Thousands of Concepts (ETC), a scalable framework capable of erasing thousands of concepts while preserving generation quality. Our method first models low-rank concept distributions via a Student's t-distribution Mixture Model (tMM). It enables pin-point erasure of target concepts via affine optimal transport while preserving others by anchoring the boundaries of target concept distributions without pre-defined anchor concepts. We then train a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE)-based module, termed MoEraser, which removes target embeddings while preserving the anchor embeddings. By injecting noise into the text embedding projector and fine-tuning MoEraser for recovery, our framework achieves robustness to white-box attack such as module removal. Extensive experiments on over 2,000 concepts across heterogeneous domains and diffusion models demerate state-of-the-art scalability and precision in large-scale concept erasure.

A Novel Mechanism for the Formation of Dislocation Cell Patterns in BCC Metal

In this study, we present the first simulation results of the formation of dislocation cell wall microstructures in tantalum subjected to shock loading. Dislocation patterns and cell wall formation are important to understanding the mechanical properties of the materials in which they spontaneously arise, and yet the processing and self-assembly mechanisms leading to their formation are poorly understood. By employing transmission electron microscopy and discrete dislocation dynamics, we propose a new mechanism involving coplanar dislocations and pseudo-dipole mixed dislocation arrays that is essential to the pattern formation process. Our large-scale 3D DDD simulations demonstrate the self-organization of dislocation networks into cell walls in deformed BCC metal (tantalum) persisting at the strain 20%. The simulation analysis captures several crucial aspects of how the dislocation cell pattern affects metal plasticity, as observed in experiments. Although experimental evidence is inconclusive regarding whether cell wall formation takes place at the shock front, after the shock, during release, or when the sample has had enough time to relax post-recovery, our simulations indicate cell wall formation occurs after the shock and before release. The extended Taylor hardening composite model effectively considers the non-uniform dislocation density when cell walls form and accurately describes the corresponding flow stress.
