Cross-Source Supervision for Bone Infection Segmentation in Dual-Modality PET-CT

Early and accurate diagnosis and lesion localization of bone infections are crucial for clinical treatment. PET-CT integrates anatomical information from CT with metabolic information from PET, making it an important imaging modality for diagnosing bone infections. However, accurate lesion segmentation remains challenging due to indistinct lesion boundaries and inconsistencies in annotations generated by different experts or automated systems. In this work, we investigate multimodal segmentation of bone infections under annotation discrepancy. We develop a bimodal end-to-end segmentation framework that integrates PET metabolic signals and CT bone-window anatomy through an early-fusion multimodal representation.To mitigate performance inflation caused by inter-slice correlation in small datasets, this study discards traditional two-dimensional evaluation methods and implements a rigorous patient-level 3D volumetric evaluation and cross-validation. Furthermore, instead of forcing a singular consensus, we propose a decoupled dual-source learning framework where parallel models are trained on independent expert annotations driven by high-sensitivity and high-specificity clinical intents. Experimental results objectively report performance variations at the patient level (Mean + SD and Mean - SD), demonstrating the effectiveness of multimodal PET-CT fusion. The cross-evaluation matrix quantitatively reveals how models successfully internalize distinct expert diagnostic philosophies, providing a robust, diversity-preserving paradigm for clinical AI deployment in bone infection segmentation.

Efficient and provably convergent end-to-end training of deep neural networks with linear constraints

Training a deep neural network with the outputs of selected layers satisfying linear constraints is required in many contemporary data-driven applications. While this can be achieved by incorporating projection layers into the neural network, its end-to-end training remains challenging due to the lack of rigorous theory and efficient algorithms for backpropagation. A key difficulty in developing the theory and efficient algorithms for backpropagation arose from the nonsmoothness of the solution mapping of the projection layer. To address this bottleneck, we introduce an efficiently computable HS-Jacobian to the projection layer. Importantly, we prove that the HS-Jacobian is a conservative mapping for the projection operator onto the polyhedral set, enabling its seamless integration into the nonsmooth automatic differentiation framework for backpropagation. Therefore, many efficient algorithms, such as Adam, can be applied for end-to-end training of deep neural networks with linear constraints. Particularly, we establish convergence guarantees of the HS-Jacobian based Adam algorithm for training linearly constrained deep neural networks. Extensive experiment results on several important applications, including finance, computer vision, and network architecture design, demonstrate the superior performance of our method compared to other existing popular methods.

SciIntegrity-Bench: A Benchmark for Evaluating Academic Integrity in AI Scientist Systems

AI scientist systems are increasingly deployed for autonomous research, yet their academic integrity has never been systematically evaluated. We introduce SCIINTEGRITY-BENCH, the first benchmark designed around a dilemmatic evaluation paradigm: each of its 33 scenarios across 11 trap categories is constructed so that honest acknowledgment of failure is the only correct response, while task completion requires misconduct. Across 231 evaluation runs spanning 7 state-of-the-art LLMs, the overall integrity problem rate reaches 34.2%, and no model achieves zero failures. Most strikingly, across missing-data scenarios, all seven models generate synthetic data rather than acknowledging infeasibility, differing only in whether they disclose the substitution. A further prompt ablation study separates two drivers: removing explicit completion pressure sharply reduces undisclosed fabrication from 20.6% to 3.2%, while the underlying synthesis rate remains unchanged, revealing an intrinsic completion bias that persists independent of prompt-level instructions. These findings point to the absence of honest refusal as a trained disposition as the primary driver of observed failures. We release SCIINTEGRITY-BENCH at https://github.com/liuxingtong/Sci-Integrity-Bench.
