HiFi-BRep: High-Fidelity Latent Representation for Robust B-Rep Generation

Boundary representation (B-Rep) generation is a fundamental task in computer-aided design, yet the direct synthesis of high-fidelity and structurally valid B-Reps remains a major challenge. Existing deep generative methods suffer from two forms of brittleness: representation brittleness, caused by padding noise and feature contamination in the latent space, and generation brittleness, stemming from sequential error propagation and a train-inference mismatch due to non-differentiable validity enforcement. We propose HiFi-BRep, a novel framework that addresses these limitations through two synergistic contributions. First, a topology-aware encoder constructs a high-fidelity latent representation by eliminating padding via learnable queries and preventing feature contamination with topology-guided attention. Second, a single-stage decoder jointly predicts geometry and topology in parallel, embedding core manifold constraints as a differentiable learning objective. This design ensures mutual guidance between geometry and topology while avoiding cascaded errors. Extensive experiments show that HiFi-BRep significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both structural validity and geometric fidelity, providing a robust solution for high-quality B-Rep synthesis.

InCarEmo: A Multimodal Dataset for In-Cabin Emotion Recognition and Driver State Monitoring

Understanding driver emotion and state is critical for the next generation of intelligent in-cabin systems that ensure safety and enhance human-vehicle interaction. However, existing public datasets for in-cabin affective computing are largely limited to visual modalities and rarely include conversational information, making it difficult to capture the linguistic and interactive cues underlying driver emotion. To address these gaps, we introduce InCarEmo, a multimodal dataset for in-cabin emotion recognition and driver state monitoring. InCarEmo integrates RGB and infrared video, in-cabin audio, and dialogue text collected from scripted in-cabin scenarios designed to simulate realistic driver behaviors, covering diverse lighting conditions and driving contexts. The dataset supports three primary tasks: 1) multimodal emotion recognition, 2) fatigue detection, and 3) distraction monitoring. In addition to the original Chinese data, we construct an auxiliary English benchmark to support preliminary cross-lingual evaluation. We provide a unified benchmark with extensive baseline results across unimodal and multimodal methods, including analyses under modality-missing and noise conditions. Experimental results demonstrate the benefits of multimodal fusion and reveal remaining challenges under real-world noise and low-light conditions. By releasing InCarEmo, we aim to establish a comprehensive foundation for robust, interpretable, and human-centric in-cabin affective understanding, promoting safer and more empathetic driver-vehicle interaction.

DENTEX: Dental Enumeration and Tooth Pathosis Detection Benchmark for Panoramic X-ray

Panoramic X-rays are frequently used in dentistry for treatment planning, but their interpretation can be both time-consuming and prone to error. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to aid in the analysis of these X-rays, thereby improving the accuracy of dental diagnoses and treatment plans. Nevertheless, designing automated algorithms for this purpose poses significant challenges, mainly due to the scarcity of annotated data and variations in anatomical structure. To address these issues, we organized the Dental Enumeration and Diagnosis on Panoramic X-rays Challenge (DENTEX) in association with the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) in 2023. This challenge aims to promote the development of algorithms for multi-label detection of abnormal teeth, using three types of hierarchically annotated data: partially annotated quadrant data, partially annotated quadrant-enumeration data, and fully annotated quadrant-enumeration-diagnosis data, inclusive of four different diagnoses. In this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of the methods and results from the challenge. Our findings reveal that top performers succeeded through diverse, specialized strategies, from segmentation-guided pipelines to highly-engineered single-stage detectors, using advanced Transformer and diffusion models. These strategies significantly outperformed traditional approaches, particularly for the challenging tasks of tooth enumeration and subtle disease classification. By dissecting the architectural choices that drove success, this paper provides key insights for future development of AI-powered tools that can offer more precise and efficient diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry.

A Token-FCM based risk assessment method for complex engineering designs

Engineering design risks could cause unaffordable losses, and thus risk assessment plays a critical role in engineering design. On the other hand, the high complexity of modern engineering designs makes it difficult to assess risks effectively and accurately due to the complex two-way, dynamic causal-effect risk relations in engineering designs. To address this problem, this paper proposes a new risk assessment method called token fuzzy cognitive map (Token-FCM). Its basic idea is to model the two-way causal-risk relations with the FCM method, and then augment FCM with a token mechanism to model the dynamics in causal-effect risk relations. Furthermore, the fuzzy sets and the group decision-making method are introduced to initialize the Token-FCM method so that comprehensive and accurate risk assessments can be attained. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been demonstrated by a real example of engine design for a horizontal directional drilling machine.

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Segmentation in CBCT images using Connectivity-Based Selective Re-training

Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN) canal detection in CBCT is an important step in many dental and maxillofacial surgery applications to prevent irreversible damage to the nerve during the procedure.The ToothFairy2023 Challenge aims to establish a 3D maxillofacial dataset consisting of all sparse labels and partial dense labels, and improve the ability of automatic IAN segmentation. In this work, in order to avoid the negative impact brought by sparse labeling, we transform the mixed supervised problem into a semi-supervised problem. Inspired by self-training via pseudo labeling, we propose a selective re-training framework based on IAN connectivity. Our method is quantitatively evaluated on the ToothFairy verification cases, achieving the dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 0.7956, and 95\% hausdorff distance (HD95) of 4.4905, and wining the champion in the competition. Code is available at https://github.com/GaryNico517/SSL-IAN-Retraining.

XVoxel-Based Parametric Design Optimization of Feature Models

Parametric optimization is an important product design technique, especially in the context of the modern parametric feature-based CAD paradigm. Realizing its full potential, however, requires a closed loop between CAD and CAE (i.e., CAD/CAE integration) with automatic design modifications and simulation updates. Conventionally the approach of model conversion is often employed to form the loop, but this way of working is hard to automate and requires manual inputs. As a result, the overall optimization process is too laborious to be acceptable. To address this issue, a new method for parametric optimization is introduced in this paper, based on a unified model representation scheme called eXtended Voxels (XVoxels). This scheme hybridizes feature models and voxel models into a new concept of semantic voxels, where the voxel part is responsible for FEM solving, and the semantic part is responsible for high-level information to capture both design and simulation intents. As such, it can establish a direct mapping between design models and analysis models, which in turn enables automatic updates on simulation results for design modifications, and vice versa -- effectively a closed loop between CAD and CAE. In addition, robust and efficient geometric algorithms for manipulating XVoxel models and efficient numerical methods (based on the recent finite cell method) for simulating XVoxel models are provided. The presented method has been validated by a series of case studies of increasing complexity to demonstrate its effectiveness. In particular, a computational efficiency improvement of up to 55.8 times the existing FCM method has been seen.

A review on geometric constraint solving

This paper presents a comprehensive review of geometric constraint solving in parametric computer-aided design (CAD), with the major focus on its advances in the last 15 years. Geometric constraint solving can date back to the very first CAD prototype, Sketchpad, in the 1960s, but serious research studies were carried out only after parametric CAD was introduced in the late 1980s. In the following 30-year history of GCS research, two development stages may be identified: (1) the first 15 years (late 1980s - mid 2000s) were primarily devoted to geometric constraint decomposition for well-constrained systems or those with only structural constraint dependencies; and (2) the second 15 years (late 2000s - now) have seen research efforts shifted towards classification criteria and decomposition algorithms for general constraint systems (with and without non-structural constraint dependencies). Most existing reviews focused on the first 15 years. The problem researched in the second 15 years is, however, equally important, considering that a manually specified constraint system usually contains under- and over-constrained parts, and that such parts must be correctly detected and resolved before numerical solving can work. In this regard, this review paper covers both stages and will discusses what has already been made possible for handling general constraint systems, what developments can be expected in the near future, and which areas remain problematic.

Self-supporting Topology Optimization for Additive Manufacturing

The paper presents a topology optimization approach that designs an optimal structure, called a self-supporting structure, which is ready to be fabricated via additive manufacturing without the usage of additional support structures. Such supports in general have to be created during the fabricating process so that the primary object can be manufactured layer by layer without collapse, which is very time-consuming and waste of material. The proposed approach resolves this problem by formulating the self-supporting requirements as a novel explicit quadratic continuous constraint in the topology optimization problem, or specifically, requiring the number of unsupported elements (in terms of the sum of squares of their densities) to be zero. Benefiting form such novel formulations, computing sensitivity of the self-supporting constraint with respect to the design density is straightforward, which otherwise would require lots of research efforts in general topology optimization studies. The derived sensitivity for each element is only linearly dependent on its sole density, which, different from previous layer-based sensitivities, consequently allows for a parallel implementation and possible higher convergence rate. In addition, a discrete convolution operator is also designed to detect the unsupported elements as involved in each step of optimization iteration, and improves the detection process 100 times as compared with simply enumerating these elements. The approach works for cases of general overhang angle, or general domain, and produces an optimized structures, and their associated optimal compliance, very close to that of the reference structure obtained without considering the self-supporting constraint, as demonstrated by extensive 2D and 3D benchmark examples.
