Diagnosis and Severity Assessment of Ulcerative Colitis using Self Supervised Learning [PDF]
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is an incurable inflammatory bowel disease that leads to ulcers along the large intestine and rectum. The increase in the prevalence of UC coupled with gastrointestinal physician shortages stresses the healthcare system and limits the care UC patients receive.

Joint mean and covariance estimation with unreplicated matrix-variate data [PDF]
It has been proposed that complex populations, such as those that arise in genomics studies, may exhibit dependencies among observations as well as among variables. This gives rise to the challenging problem of analyzing unreplicated high-dimensional data with unknown mean and dependence structures.

Arges: Spatio-Temporal Transformer for Ulcerative Colitis Severity Assessment in Endoscopy Videos [PDF]
Accurate assessment of disease severity from endoscopy videos in ulcerative colitis (UC) is crucial for evaluating drug efficacy in clinical trials. Severity is often measured by the Mayo Endoscopic Subscore (MES) and Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS) score. However, expert MES/UCEIS annotation is time-consuming and susceptible to

A Bottom-up Approach to Testing Hypotheses That Have a Branching Tree Dependence Structure, with False Discovery Rate Control [PDF]
Modern statistical analyses often involve testing large numbers of hypotheses. In many situations, these hypotheses may have an underlying tree structure that not only helps determine the order that tests should be conducted but also imposes a dependency between tests that must be accounted for. Our motivating example comes from testing the association

EndoDINO: A Foundation Model for GI Endoscopy [PDF]
In this work, we present EndoDINO, a foundation model for GI endoscopy tasks that achieves strong generalizability by pre-training on a well-curated image dataset sampled from the largest known GI endoscopy video dataset in the literature. Specifically, we pre-trained ViT models with 1B, 307M, and 86M parameters using datasets ranging from 100K to 10M ...
