Detecting Dental Landmarks from Intraoral 3D Scans: the 3DTeethLand challenge

Teeth landmark detection is a key task in modern orthodontics, supporting advanced diagnosis, personalized treatment planning, and effective monitoring of treatment progress. However, several significant challenges may arise due to the intricate geometry of individual teeth and the substantial variations observed across different individuals. To address these complexities, the development of advanced techniques, especially through the application of deep learning, is essential for the precise and reliable detection of 3D tooth landmarks. In this context, the 3DTeethLand challenge was held in conjunction with the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) in 2024, calling for algorithms focused on teeth landmark detection from intraoral 3D scans. This challenge introduced a publicly available dataset for 3D dental landmark detection from 340 intraoral scans, providing a standardized benchmark to evaluate state-of-the-art approaches and encouraging methodological advances toward addressing this clinically problem. A total of 49 teams participated, and 6 teams reached the final phase. The winning team achieved a rank score of 0.91, with a mean Average Precision of 0.78 and a mean Average Recall of 0.65, demonstrating a balance between precision and recall. Top teams achieved high precision with different strategies: the first-ranked team used a two-stage Stratified Transformer with segmentation and weighted DBSCAN, while the second-ranked team adopted a single-stage DGCNN with offset regression and class-specific non-maximum suppression.

Incomplete Multi-view Clustering via Hierarchical Semantic Alignment and Cooperative Completion

Incomplete multi-view data, where certain views are entirely missing for some samples, poses significant challenges for traditional multi-view clustering methods. Existing deep incomplete multi-view clustering approaches often rely on static fusion strategies or two-stage pipelines, leading to suboptimal fusion results and error propagation issues. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel incomplete multi-view clustering framework based on Hierarchical Semantic Alignment and Cooperative Completion (HSACC). HSACC achieves robust cross-view fusion through a dual-level semantic space design. In the low-level semantic space, consistency alignment is ensured by maximizing mutual information across views. In the high-level semantic space, adaptive view weights are dynamically assigned based on the distributional affinity between individual views and an initial fused representation, followed by weighted fusion to generate a unified global representation. Additionally, HSACC implicitly recovers missing views by projecting aligned latent representations into high-dimensional semantic spaces and jointly optimizes reconstruction and clustering objectives, enabling cooperative learning of completion and clustering. Experimental results demonstrate that HSACC significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods on five benchmark datasets. Ablation studies validate the effectiveness of the hierarchical alignment and dynamic weighting mechanisms, while parameter analysis confirms the model's robustness to hyperparameter variations.

On D-brane interaction & its related properties

We compute the closed-string cylinder amplitude between one Dp brane and the other Dp$\prime$ brane, placed parallel at a separation, with each carrying a general constant worldvolume flux and with $p - p' = 0, 2, 4, 6$ and $p \le 6$. For the $p = p'$, we show that the main part of the amplitude for $p = p' < 5$ is a special case of that for $p = p' = 5$ or $6$ case. For all other $p - p' = 2, 4, 6$ cases, we show that the amplitude is just a special case of the corresponding one for $p = p'$ case. Combining both, we obtain the general formula for the amplitude, which is valid for each of the cases considered and for arbitrary constant worldvolume fluxes. The corresponding general open string one-loop annulus amplitude is also obtained by a Jacobi transformation of the general cylinder one. We give also the general open string pair production rate. We study the properties of the amplitude such as the nature of the interaction, the open string tachyonic instability, and the possible open string pair production and its potential enhancement. In particular, in the presence of pure magnetic fluxes or magnetic-like fluxes, we find that the nature of interaction is correlated with the existence of potential open string tachyonic instability. When the interaction is attractive, there always exists an open string tachyonic instability when the brane separation reaches the minimum determined by the so-called tachyonic shift. When the interaction is repulsive, there is no such instability for any brane separation. We also find that the enhancement of open string pair production, in the presence of pure electric fluxes, can occur only for the $p - p' = 2$ case.
