Clinical Priors Guided Lung Disease Detection in 3D CT Scans

Accurate classification of lung diseases from chest CT scans plays an important role in computer-aided diagnosis systems. However, medical imaging datasets often suffer from severe class imbalance, which may significantly degrade the performance of deep learning models, especially for minority disease categories. To address this issue, we propose a gender-aware two-stage lung disease classification framework. The proposed approach explicitly incorporates gender information into the disease recognition pipeline. In the first stage, a gender classifier is trained to predict the patient's gender from CT scans. In the second stage, the input CT image is routed to a corresponding gender-specific disease classifier to perform final disease prediction. This design enables the model to better capture gender-related imaging characteristics and alleviate the influence of imbalanced data distribution. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method improves the recognition performance for minority disease categories, particularly squamous cell carcinoma, while maintaining competitive performance on other classes.

Vision-Language Model Based Multi-Expert Fusion for CT Image Classification

Robust detection of COVID-19 from chest CT remains challenging in multi-institutional settings due to substantial source shift, source imbalance, and hidden test-source identities. In this work, we propose a three-stage source-aware multi-expert framework for multi-source COVID-19 CT classification. First, we build a lung-aware 3D expert by combining original CT volumes and lung-extracted CT volumes for volumetric classification. Second, we develop two MedSigLIP-based experts: a slice-wise representation and probability learning module, and a Transformer-based inter-slice context modeling module for capturing cross-slice dependency. Third, we train a source classifier to predict the latent source identity of each test scan. By leveraging the predicted source information, we perform model fusion and voting based on different experts. On the validation set covering all four sources, the Stage 1 model achieves the best macro-F1 of 0.9711, ACC of 0.9712, and AUC of 0.9791. Stage~2a and Stage~2b achieve the best AUC scores of 0.9864 and 0.9854, respectively. Stage~3 source classifier reaches 0.9107 ACC and 0.9114 F1. These results demonstrate that source-aware expert modeling and hierarchical voting provide an effective solution for robust COVID-19 CT classification under heterogeneous multi-source conditions.

AI-Generated Video Detection via Spatio-Temporal Anomaly Learning

The advancement of generation models has led to the emergence of highly realistic artificial intelligence (AI)-generated videos. Malicious users can easily create non-existent videos to spread false information. This letter proposes an effective AI-generated video detection (AIGVDet) scheme by capturing the forensic traces with a two-branch spatio-temporal convolutional neural network (CNN). Specifically, two ResNet sub-detectors are learned separately for identifying the anomalies in spatical and optical flow domains, respectively. Results of such sub-detectors are fused to further enhance the discrimination ability. A large-scale generated video dataset (GVD) is constructed as a benchmark for model training and evaluation. Extensive experimental results verify the high generalization and robustness of our AIGVDet scheme. Code and dataset will be available at https://github.com/multimediaFor/AIGVDet.
