Introduction Oral health is part of general health, and oral diseases share risk factors with several non‐communicable diseases. The World Dental Federation (FDI) has published a theoretical framework illustrating the complex interactions between the core elements of oral health (CEOHs): driving determinants, moderating factors, and general health and ...

LORAMI: Low‐Rank Adaptation for Multi‐Identity Physics‐Based Face Rigs
Abstract Physics‐based simulation can augment facial rigs with high‐quality deformations, but at steep computational costs. While neural surrogates can substantially reduce computation time, existing methods do not generalize across identity variations and instead require expensive per‐case retraining.
