Displacement Preserving Relational Distillation for Robust Medical Segmentation

Accurate 3D medical segmentation is limited by anatomical variability and high computational costs. While knowledge distillation (KD) offers a route for model compression, conventional methods often fail to preserve complex structures and are overwhelmed by background noise. We propose Displacement-Preserving Relational Distillation (DPRD), which distills latent anatomical trajectories via vector based alignment to preserve the orientation and relative scale of the teacher's manifold, and prevents signal dilution by anchoring distillation in task-relevant structures. Integrated into nnU-Net, DPRD outperforms established baselines on ISLES 2022 and AMOS 2022 benchmarks. Notably, on the AMOS dataset, DPRD achieves a Dice score of 85.46%, edging out the high-capacity MedNeXt teacher while significantly reducing boundary errors. Despite utilizing only ~5% of the teacher's parameters and ~3% of its FLOPs, our approach maintains high structural consistency. This provides a robust, efficient solution for deploying high performance segmenters in resource-constrained clinical environments. Code: https://github.com/ClinicaAlpha/DPRD-3D-MedSeg

Learnable Instance Attention Filtering for Adaptive Detector Distillation

As deep vision models grow increasingly complex to achieve higher performance, deployment efficiency has become a critical concern. Knowledge distillation (KD) mitigates this issue by transferring knowledge from large teacher models to compact student models. While many feature-based KD methods rely on spatial filtering to guide distillation, they typically treat all object instances uniformly, ignoring instance-level variability. Moreover, existing attention filtering mechanisms are typically heuristic or teacher-driven, rather than learned with the student. To address these limitations, we propose Learnable Instance Attention Filtering for Adaptive Detector Distillation (LIAF-KD), a novel framework that introduces learnable instance selectors to dynamically evaluate and reweight instance importance during distillation. Notably, the student contributes to this process based on its evolving learning state. Experiments on the KITTI and COCO datasets demonstrate consistent improvements, with a 2% gain on a GFL ResNet-50 student without added complexity, outperforming state-of-the-art methods.

Practical Study of Deterministic Regular Expressions from Large-scale XML and Schema Data

Regular expressions are a fundamental concept in computer science and widely used in various applications. In this paper we focused on deterministic regular expressions (DREs). Considering that researchers didn't have large datasets as evidence before, we first harvested a large corpus of real data from the Web then conducted a practical study to investigate the usage of DREs. One feature of our work is that the data set is sufficiently large compared with previous work, which is obtained using several data collection strategies we proposed. The results show more than 98\% of expressions in Relax NG are DRE, and more than 56\% of expressions from RegExLib are DRE, while both Relax NG and RegExLib do not have the determinism constraint. These observations indicate that DREs are commonly used in practice. The results also show further study of subclasses of DREs is necessary. As far as we know, we are the first to analyze the determinism and the subclasses of DREs of Relax NG and RegExLib, and give these results. Furthermore, we give some discussions and applications of the data set. We obtain a DRE data set from the original data, which will be useful in practice and it has value in its own right. We find current research in new subclasses of DREs is insufficient, therefore it is necessary to do further study. We also analyze the referencing relationships among XSDs and define SchemaRank, which can be used in XML Schema design.
