Revisiting the Plastic Surgery Hypothesis via Large Language Models [PDF]
Automated Program Repair (APR) aspires to automatically generate patches for an input buggy program. Traditional APR tools typically focus on specific bug types and fixes through the use of templates, heuristics, and formal specifications. However, these techniques are limited in terms of the bug types and patch variety they can produce.

Deep Selection: A Fully Supervised Camera Selection Network for Surgery Recordings [PDF]
Recording surgery in operating rooms is an essential task for education and evaluation of medical treatment. However, recording the desired targets, such as the surgery field, surgical tools, or doctor's hands, is difficult because the targets are heavily occluded during surgery.

GPT-4 to GPT-3.5: 'Hold My Scalpel' -- A Look at the Competency of OpenAI's GPT on the Plastic Surgery In-Service Training Exam [PDF]
The Plastic Surgery In-Service Training Exam (PSITE) is an important indicator of resident proficiency and serves as a useful benchmark for evaluating OpenAI's GPT. Unlike many of the simulated tests or practice questions shown in the GPT-4 Technical Paper, the multiple-choice questions evaluated here are authentic PSITE questions.

3D Face Reconstruction for Forensic Recognition -- A Survey [PDF]
3D face reconstruction algorithms from images and videos are applied to many fields, from plastic surgery to the entertainment sector, thanks to their advantageous features. However, when looking at forensic applications, 3D face reconstruction must observe strict requirements that still make unclear its possible role in bringing evidence to a lawsuit.

Periocular biometrics: databases, algorithms and directions [PDF]
Periocular biometrics has been established as an independent modality due to concerns on the performance of iris or face systems in uncontrolled conditions. Periocular refers to the facial region in the eye vicinity, including eyelids, lashes and eyebrows.

Unsupervised Sentiment Analysis of Plastic Surgery Social Media Posts [PDF]
The massive collection of user posts across social media platforms is primarily untapped for artificial intelligence (AI) use cases based on the sheer volume and velocity of textual data. Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of AI that leverages bodies of documents, known as corpora, to train computers in human-like language understanding ...

Eigenspace-Based Minimum Variance Adaptive Beamformer Combined with Delay Multiply and Sum: Experimental Study [PDF]
Delay and sum (DAS) is the most common beamforming algorithm in linear-array photoacoustic imaging (PAI) as a result of its simple implementation. However, it leads to a low resolution and high sidelobes. Delay multiply and sum (DMAS) was used to address the incapabilities of DAS, providing a higher image quality. However, the resolution improvement is

Revisiting Distillation for Continual Learning on Visual Question Localized-Answering in Robotic Surgery [PDF]
The visual-question localized-answering (VQLA) system can serve as a knowledgeable assistant in surgical education. Except for providing text-based answers, the VQLA system can highlight the interested region for better surgical scene understanding. However, deep neural networks (DNNs) suffer from catastrophic forgetting when learning new knowledge ...

Effects of anterior temporal lobe resection on cortical morphology [PDF]
Anterior temporal lobe resection (ATLR) is a surgical procedure to treat drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Resection may involve large amounts of cortical tissue. Here, we examine the effects of this surgery on cortical morphology measured in independent variables both near the resection and remotely.
