Test-Time Adaptation for ECG Classification via SQI-Gated Self-Training and Beat-Rhythm Consistency

Deep learning models for electrocardiogram (ECG) classification often suffer from significant performance degradation when deployed in unseen domains due to shifts in acquisition devices and patient populations. Test-time adaptation (TTA) offers a practical solution by adapting models using only unlabeled data at inference time. However, existing TTA methods often underperform on ECG tasks, since naive online updates ignore the hierarchical beat-rhythm structure of cardiac cycles and are vulnerable to signal artifacts, which leads to unstable adaptation and model drift. We propose BeatRhythm-TTA, an ECG-tailored TTA framework that explicitly accounts for ECG's noisy observations and structured beat-rhythm semantics under domain shift. First, to handle pervasive ECG artifacts, we introduce a Signal Quality Index (SQI)-gated adaptation scheme that selectively filters out low-quality signals to prevent harmful updates. Second, to leverage ECG's beat-rhythm semantics, we enforce dual-level consistency so the model preserves beat morphology and rhythm dynamics while adapting to shifted acquisition conditions. Extensive experiments on multi-label ECG diagnosis across three adaptation protocols, using PTB-XL as the source domain and CPSC2018/Georgia as two target domains, demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, yielding an average +2.70% relative improvement in Macro-F1 over the best competing method.

VISTA: Variance-Gated Inter-Sequence Test-Time Adaptation for Multi-Sequence MRI Segmentation

Deploying multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) segmentation models to new clinical environments is challenging due to variations in scanners and acquisition protocols. Although existing TTA methods handle basic per-modality shifts, they often fail under a fundamental dual-shift problem, as their adaptation signals fail to capture modality-interaction shifts that disrupt inter-sequence consistency. To address this, we propose Variance-gated Inter-Sequence Test-time Adaptation (VISTA), a source-free framework that tackles modality-interaction shifts. First, we design an Inter-Sequence Intervention Generator (ISIG) that generates a set of consistency probes by swapping low-frequency spectra and entropy-localized patches across sequences, preserving anatomical semantics while challenging inter-sequence dependencies. Second, we introduce Cross-View Disagreement-Aware Pseudo Labeling (CDPL), which establishes a voxel-wise reliability metric using cross-view disagreement variance to dynamically gate self-training and enforce interventional consistency, encouraging the network to rely on robust anatomical semantics. Extensive experiments adapting from standard adult MRI (BraTS-GLI-Pre) to African low-field (BraTS-SSA) and pediatric (BraTS-PED) cohorts show improved performance over competing methods under clinical shifts, achieving absolute Dice improvements of +1.89% (SSA) and +2.82% (PED) over the source model.

VoxShield: Protecting 3D Medical Datasets from Unauthorized Training via Frequency-Aware Inter-Slice Disruption

The release of public 3D medical image segmentation (MIS) datasets accelerates clinical research but simultaneously heightens risks of unauthorized AI model training. While Unlearnable Examples (UE) offer protection by injecting imperceptible perturbations to prevent effective model learning, existing methods primarily target 2D scenarios. They neglect the volumetric spatial correlations and inter-slice anatomical consistency inherent in 3D medical volumes, which serve as critical learning priors for 3D segmentation networks. To bridge this gap, we propose VoxShield, a UE framework that explicitly targets the volumetric inductive biases of 3D networks. Our core insight is that by systematically dismantling the cross-slice continuity that 3D architectures rely on, we can fundamentally impair their spatial aggregation process. Specifically, we introduce an Inter-Slice Frequency Consistency Disruption mechanism that maximizes the spectral divergence between adjacent slices, injecting structural incoherence along the $z$-axis. Complementing this structural attack, a Semantic Prediction Disruption module is incorporated. By maximizing the $\ell_1$ divergence between clean and perturbed logits, it forces the injected noise to penetrate the entire network and corrupt the final semantic mapping. Experiments on BraTS19 and FLARE21 demonstrate that VoxShield successfully degrades 3D segmentation performance, reducing the DSC from 80.0% to near 0.0% and from 88.6% to 6.8%, respectively. All protections are achieved with minimal perturbation ($ε=4/255$) to preserve high visual fidelity. The code is available at https://github.com/KK266299/VoxShield.

TFLAG:Towards Practical APT Detection via Deviation-Aware Learning on Temporal Provenance Graph

Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) have grown increasingly complex and concealed, posing formidable challenges to existing Intrusion Detection Systems in identifying and mitigating these attacks. Recent studies have incorporated graph learning techniques to extract detailed information from provenance graphs, enabling the detection of attacks with greater granularity. Nevertheless, existing studies have largely overlooked the continuous yet subtle temporal variations in the structure of provenance graphs, which may correspond to surreptitious perturbation anomalies in ongoing APT attacks. Therefore, we introduce TFLAG, an advanced anomaly detection framework that for the first time integrates the structural dynamic extraction capabilities of temporal graph model with the anomaly delineation abilities of deviation networks to pinpoint covert attack activities in provenance graphs. This self-supervised integration framework leverages the graph model to extract neighbor interaction data under continuous temporal changes from historical benign behaviors within provenance graphs, while simultaneously utilizing deviation networks to accurately distinguish authentic attack activities from false positive deviations due to unexpected subtle perturbations. The experimental results indicate that, through a comprehensive design that utilizes both attribute and temporal information, it can accurately identify the time windows associated with APT attack behaviors without prior knowledge (e.g., labeled data samples), demonstrating superior accuracy compared to current state-of-the-art methods in differentiating between attack events and system false positive events.
