Spatio-Temporal Conditional Diffusion Model for Forecasting Future Multiple Sclerosis Lesion Masks Conditioned on Treatments

LMID Workshop, held in conjunction with the 28th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI), 2025

We present the first treatment-aware spatio-temporal diffusion model that predicts future Multiple Sclerosis lesion evolution from multi-modal patient data, demonstrating accurate forecasting and clinically relevant applications across diverse treatments.

Conditional Diffusion Models are Medical Image Classifiers that Provide Explainability and Uncertainty for Free

International Conference on Medical Imaging with Deep Learning (MIDL), 2025

We explore class-conditional diffusion models for 2D medical image classification, introduce a majority voting scheme and demonstrate their competitive, explainable, and uncertainty-aware performance on CheXpert and ISIC datasets.

Beyond FVD: Enhanced Evaluation Metrics for Video Generation Quality

International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR), 2025

We propose JEDi, the JEPA Embedding Distance. Our experiments on multiple open-source datasets show clear evidence that it is a superior alternative to the widely used FVD metric for generated video quality, requiring only 16% of the samples to reach its steady value, while increasing alignment with human evaluation by 34%, on average.

Electrochemical Analysis of High-Capacity Li-Ion Pouch Cell for Automotive Applications

SAE International

We develop and validate a temperature-dependent pseudo-2D electrochemical model for a high-capacity NMC pouch cell, analyzing its performance across temperatures (10°C-50°C) and C-rates to inform battery thermal management in electric vehicles.
