Envisage: Diffusion-Based Rhinoplasty Goal Visualization with Mask-Decomposed Evaluation

Localized generative editing needs localized evaluation: full-image identity metrics are structurally confounded under hard-composited edits. We present Envisage, a FLUX.1-Fill inpainting reference pipeline for rhinoplasty goal visualization from a single frontal photograph. The pipeline combines 8 rhinoplasty clinical presets (the released framework also includes 8 blepharoplasty and 8 rhytidectomy presets), MediaPipe masks, and hard-mask compositing. The composite preserves outside-mask pixels by construction, so full-face identity scores are dominated by copied pixels rather than by the diffusion backbone. Because full-face identity metrics cannot grade localized edits, we introduce SurgicalScore, a mask-decomposed 0-1 protocol scoring edit direction, edit magnitude, masked LPIPS, realism, and outside-mask preservation; SS_raw assigns 0.919 [0.918, 0.920] to a perfect-predictor control , anchoring the ceiling. On N=211, the paired ArcFace gain (output-to-GT minus input-to-GT) is negative for all methods (Envisage -0.048 smallest, vs. ICEdit -0.139, Kontext -0.242, InstructPix2Pix -0.294; p < 1e-4), with external validation on a 457-pair ASPS/PCA corpus showing a larger negative gap. With SurgicalScore, Envisage achieves the highest score (0.599 [0.579, 0.619]) and leads on both metrics, but the all-negative ArcFace gap shows that full-face identity is poorly aligned with localized surgical accuracy under hard compositing. A 5-seed GT-oracle (an upper bound, not a deployable result) reduces the residual ArcFace gap by 73% (-0.054 to -0.015), with positive output-to-GT gain on 33.9% of cases, indicating candidate-space headroom for a learned ranker. For localized edits, progress should be measured with edit-region fidelity rather than full-face identity metrics. We release Envisage, SurgicalScore, preset definitions, and matched split manifests.

Delaytron: Efficient Learning of Multiclass Classifiers with Delayed Bandit Feedbacks

In this paper, we present online algorithm called {\it Delaytron} for learning multi class classifiers using delayed bandit feedbacks. The sequence of feedback delays $\{d_t\}_{t=1}^T$ is unknown to the algorithm. At the $t$-th round, the algorithm observes an example $\mathbf{x}_t$ and predicts a label $\tilde{y}_t$ and receives the bandit feedback $\mathbb{I}[\tilde{y}_t=y_t]$ only $d_t$ rounds later. When $t+d_t>T$, we consider that the feedback for the $t$-th round is missing. We show that the proposed algorithm achieves regret of $\mathcal{O}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2 K}γ\left[\frac{T}{2}+\left(2+\frac{L^2}{R^2\Vert \W\Vert_F^2}\right)\sum_{t=1}^Td_t\right]}\right)$ when the loss for each missing sample is upper bounded by $L$. In the case when the loss for missing samples is not upper bounded, the regret achieved by Delaytron is $\mathcal{O}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2 K}γ\left[\frac{T}{2}+2\sum_{t=1}^Td_t+\vert \mathcal{M}\vert T\right]}\right)$ where $\mathcal{M}$ is the set of missing samples in $T$ rounds. These bounds were achieved with a constant step size which requires the knowledge of $T$ and $\sum_{t=1}^Td_t$. For the case when $T$ and $\sum_{t=1}^Td_t$ are unknown, we use a doubling trick for online learning and proposed Adaptive Delaytron. We show that Adaptive Delaytron achieves a regret bound of $\mathcal{O}\left(\sqrt{T+\sum_{t=1}^Td_t}\right)$. We show the effectiveness of our approach by experimenting on various datasets and comparing with state-of-the-art approaches.

Learning Multiclass Classifier Under Noisy Bandit Feedback

This paper addresses the problem of multiclass classification with corrupted or noisy bandit feedback. In this setting, the learner may not receive true feedback. Instead, it receives feedback that has been flipped with some non-zero probability. We propose a novel approach to deal with noisy bandit feedback based on the unbiased estimator technique. We further offer a method that can efficiently estimate the noise rates, thus providing an end-to-end framework. The proposed algorithm enjoys a mistake bound of the order of $O(\sqrt{T})$ in the high noise case and of the order of $O(T^{\nicefrac{2}{3}})$ in the worst case. We show our approach's effectiveness using extensive experiments on several benchmark datasets.

A Machine Learning Application for Raising WASH Awareness in the Times of COVID-19 Pandemic

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has uncovered the potential of digital misinformation in shaping the health of nations. The deluge of unverified information that spreads faster than the epidemic itself is an unprecedented phenomenon that has put millions of lives in danger. Mitigating this Infodemic requires strong health messaging systems that are engaging, vernacular, scalable, effective and continuously learn the new patterns of misinformation. Objective: We created WashKaro, a multi-pronged intervention for mitigating misinformation through conversational AI, machine translation and natural language processing. WashKaro provides the right information matched against WHO guidelines through AI, and delivers it in the right format in local languages. Methods: We theorize (i) an NLP based AI engine that could continuously incorporate user feedback to improve relevance of information, (ii) bite sized audio in the local language to improve penetrance in a country with skewed gender literacy ratios, and (iii) conversational but interactive AI engagement with users towards an increased health awareness in the community. Results: A total of 5026 people who downloaded the app during the study window, among those 1545 were active users. Our study shows that 3.4 times more females engaged with the App in Hindi as compared to males, the relevance of AI-filtered news content doubled within 45 days of continuous machine learning, and the prudence of integrated AI chatbot Satya increased thus proving the usefulness of an mHealth platform to mitigate health misinformation. Conclusion: We conclude that a multi-pronged machine learning application delivering vernacular bite-sized audios and conversational AI is an effective approach to mitigate health misinformation.
