HyDAR-Pano3D: A Hybrid Disentangled Anatomical Recovery Framework for Panoramic-to-3D Reconstruction

Panoramic radiograph (PR) is fundamentally used in routine dental care, but it inherently provides only a two-dimensional (2D) projection of complex three-dimensional (3D) craniofacial anatomy. Most existing learning-based methods attempt to computationally recover this 3D information by directly regressing native cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) volumes from PR. However, this direct mapping requires the model to simultaneously learn common anatomical structures and patient-specific morphological variations. This entangled formulation makes the ill-posed 2D-to-3D inverse problem highly ambiguous, often producing over-smoothed reconstructions with blurred anatomical boundaries. To address this, we propose HyDAR-Pano3D, a two-stage framework that reformulates PR-to-CBCT reconstruction as a disentangled anatomical recovery problem. In Stage 1, a dual-encoder network integrates radiographic features with SAM-derived semantic priors to reconstruct an arch-normalized canonical volume. In Stage 2, an Anatomical Restoration Network predicts a prior-constrained structured deformation field to map this canonical volume back to the native space, restoring individual morphological variations. Experiments on three large-scale datasets show that HyDAR-Pano3D significantly outperforms baseline methods ($p < 0.05$), achieving a 25.76 dB PSNR, 85.70\% SSIM, and an 83.83\% overall anatomical Dice score. The synthesized volumes successfully support downstream segmentation of whole teeth (82.4\% Dice) and the inferior alveolar canal (72.2\% Dice), demonstrating that our disentangled approach preserves clinically relevant structures to enable robust anatomy-aware assessment when CBCT data is unavailable.

Modeling the Temperature-Humidity Coupling Dynamics of Soybean Pod Borer Population and Assessing the Predictive Performance of the PCM-NN Algorithm

Against the backdrop of global climate change and agricultural globalization, soybean production is increasingly threatened by pest outbreaks, with Leguminivora glycinivorella (commonly known as the soybean pod borer) being a major pest species. This pest is widely distributed, particularly in northeastern China, the country's primary soybean-producing region, where its outbreaks have significantly affected both yield and quality. Although statistical and mechanistic models have been applied to pest forecasting, existing approaches often fail to effectively integrate climatic factors with pest dynamics and lack sufficient expressive power. To address these limitations, this study proposes a novel pest prediction method based on Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). Specifically, we formulate a logistic-type ordinary differential equation (ODE) that incorporates microclimate factors, temperature, humidity, and time, to describe the temporal dynamics of the soybean pod borer population. This ODE model is embedded into the PINN framework to develop the Pest Correlation Model Neural Network (PCM-NN), which is used to jointly infer the microclimate-driven parameter function alpha(T, H, t) and fit the pest population dynamics. We evaluate PCM-NN using daily monitoring data of soybean pod borer collected in Changchun, Jilin Province, from July to September during 2020-2023. Experimental results demonstrate that PCM-NN preserves biological interpretability while exhibiting strong nonlinear representational capacity, offering a feasible pathway for pest modeling and forecasting under multi-factor climatic conditions. This approach provides valuable support for agricultural pest monitoring, prevention, and control strategies.

3DPX: Single Panoramic X-ray Analysis Guided by 3D Oral Structure Reconstruction

Panoramic X-ray (PX) is a prevalent modality in dentistry practice owing to its wide availability and low cost. However, as a 2D projection of a 3D structure, PX suffers from anatomical information loss and PX diagnosis is limited compared to that with 3D imaging modalities. 2D-to-3D reconstruction methods have been explored for the ability to synthesize the absent 3D anatomical information from 2D PX for use in PX image analysis. However, there are challenges in leveraging such 3D synthesized reconstructions. First, inferring 3D depth from 2D images remains a challenging task with limited accuracy. The second challenge is the joint analysis of 2D PX with its 3D synthesized counterpart, with the aim to maximize the 2D-3D synergy while minimizing the errors arising from the synthesized image. In this study, we propose a new method termed 3DPX - PX image analysis guided by 2D-to-3D reconstruction, to overcome these challenges. 3DPX consists of (i) a novel progressive reconstruction network to improve 2D-to-3D reconstruction and, (ii) a contrastive-guided bidirectional multimodality alignment module for 3D-guided 2D PX classification and segmentation tasks. The reconstruction network progressively reconstructs 3D images with knowledge imposed on the intermediate reconstructions at multiple pyramid levels and incorporates Multilayer Perceptrons to improve semantic understanding. The downstream networks leverage the reconstructed images as 3D anatomical guidance to the PX analysis through feature alignment, which increases the 2D-3D synergy with bidirectional feature projection and decease the impact of potential errors with contrastive guidance. Extensive experiments on two oral datasets involving 464 studies demonstrate that 3DPX outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in various tasks including 2D-to-3D reconstruction, PX classification and lesion segmentation.

3DPX: Progressive 2D-to-3D Oral Image Reconstruction with Hybrid MLP-CNN Networks

Panoramic X-ray (PX) is a prevalent modality in dental practice for its wide availability and low cost. However, as a 2D projection image, PX does not contain 3D anatomical information, and therefore has limited use in dental applications that can benefit from 3D information, e.g., tooth angular misa-lignment detection and classification. Reconstructing 3D structures directly from 2D PX has recently been explored to address limitations with existing methods primarily reliant on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for direct 2D-to-3D mapping. These methods, however, are unable to correctly infer depth-axis spatial information. In addition, they are limited by the in-trinsic locality of convolution operations, as the convolution kernels only capture the information of immediate neighborhood pixels. In this study, we propose a progressive hybrid Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)-CNN pyra-mid network (3DPX) for 2D-to-3D oral PX reconstruction. We introduce a progressive reconstruction strategy, where 3D images are progressively re-constructed in the 3DPX with guidance imposed on the intermediate recon-struction result at each pyramid level. Further, motivated by the recent ad-vancement of MLPs that show promise in capturing fine-grained long-range dependency, our 3DPX integrates MLPs and CNNs to improve the semantic understanding during reconstruction. Extensive experiments on two large datasets involving 464 studies demonstrate that our 3DPX outperforms state-of-the-art 2D-to-3D oral reconstruction methods, including standalone MLP and transformers, in reconstruction quality, and also im-proves the performance of downstream angular misalignment classification tasks.

Boosting Pruned Networks with Linear Over-parameterization

Structured pruning compresses neural networks by reducing channels (filters) for fast inference and low footprint at run-time. To restore accuracy after pruning, fine-tuning is usually applied to pruned networks. However, too few remaining parameters in pruned networks inevitably bring a great challenge to fine-tuning to restore accuracy. To address this challenge, we propose a novel method that first linearly over-parameterizes the compact layers in pruned networks to enlarge the number of fine-tuning parameters and then re-parameterizes them to the original layers after fine-tuning. Specifically, we equivalently expand the convolution/linear layer with several consecutive convolution/linear layers that do not alter the current output feature maps. Furthermore, we utilize similarity-preserving knowledge distillation that encourages the over-parameterized block to learn the immediate data-to-data similarities of the corresponding dense layer to maintain its feature learning ability. The proposed method is comprehensively evaluated on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet which significantly outperforms the vanilla fine-tuning strategy, especially for large pruning ratio.

Layer-adaptive Structured Pruning Guided by Latency

Structured pruning can simplify network architecture and improve inference speed. Combined with the underlying hardware and inference engine in which the final model is deployed, better results can be obtained by using latency collaborative loss function to guide network pruning together. Existing pruning methods that optimize latency have demonstrated leading performance, however, they often overlook the hardware features and connection in the network. To address this problem, we propose a global importance score SP-LAMP(Structured Pruning Layer-Adaptive Magnitude-based Pruning) by deriving a global importance score LAMP from unstructured pruning to structured pruning. In SP-LAMP, each layer includes a filter with an SP-LAMP score of 1, and the remaining filters are grouped. We utilize a group knapsack solver to maximize the SP-LAMP score under latency constraints. In addition, we improve the strategy of collect the latency to make it more accurate. In particular, for ResNet50/ResNet18 on ImageNet and CIFAR10, SP-LAMP is 1.28x/8.45x faster with +1.7%/-1.57% top-1 accuracy changed, respectively. Experimental results in ResNet56 on CIFAR10 demonstrate that our algorithm achieves lower latency compared to alternative approaches while ensuring accuracy and FLOPs.

Conditional GANs with Auxiliary Discriminative Classifier

Conditional generative models aim to learn the underlying joint distribution of data and labels to achieve conditional data generation. Among them, the auxiliary classifier generative adversarial network (AC-GAN) has been widely used, but suffers from the problem of low intra-class diversity of the generated samples. The fundamental reason pointed out in this paper is that the classifier of AC-GAN is generator-agnostic, which therefore cannot provide informative guidance for the generator to approach the joint distribution, resulting in a minimization of the conditional entropy that decreases the intra-class diversity. Motivated by this understanding, we propose a novel conditional GAN with an auxiliary discriminative classifier (ADC-GAN) to resolve the above problem. Specifically, the proposed auxiliary discriminative classifier becomes generator-aware by recognizing the class-labels of the real data and the generated data discriminatively. Our theoretical analysis reveals that the generator can faithfully learn the joint distribution even without the original discriminator, making the proposed ADC-GAN robust to the value of the coefficient hyperparameter and the selection of the GAN loss, and stable during training. Extensive experimental results on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of ADC-GAN in conditional generative modeling compared to state-of-the-art classifier-based and projection-based conditional GANs.
