ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Recovering true signals from noisy measurements is a central challenge in inverse problems spanning medical imaging, geophysics, and signal processing. Current solutions nearly always balance prior assumptions regarding the true signal (regularization) with agreement to noisy measured data (data-fidelity). Conventional data-fidelity loss functions, such as mean-squared error (MSE) or negative log-likelihood, seek pointwise agreement with noisy measurements, often leading to overfitting to noise. In this work, we instead evaluate data-fidelity collectively by testing whether the observed measurements are statistically consistent with the noise distributions implied by the current estimate.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Hybrid neural ordinary differential equations (neural ODEs) integrate mechanistic models with neural ODEs, offering strong inductive bias and flexibility, and are particularly advantageous in data-scarce healthcare settings. However, excessive latent states and interactions from mechanistic models can lead to training inefficiency and over-fitting, limiting practical effectiveness of hybrid neural ODEs. In response, we propose a new hybrid pipeline for automatic state selection and structure optimization in mechanistic neural ODEs, combining domain-informed graph modifications with data-driven regularization to sparsify the model for improving predictive performance and stability while retaining mechanistic plausibility. Experiments on synthetic and real-world data show improved predictive performance and robustness with desired sparsity, establishing an effective solution for hybrid model reduction in healthcare applications.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Deep neural networks for medical image segmentation often produce overconfident predictions, posing clinical risks due to miscalibrated uncertainty estimates. In this work, we rethink model calibration from a frequency-domain perspective and identify two critical factors causing miscalibration: spectral bias, where models overemphasize low-frequency components, and confidence saturation, which suppresses overall power spectral density in confidence maps. To address these challenges, we propose a novel frequency-aware calibration framework integrating spectral entropy regularization and power spectral smoothing. The spectral entropy term promotes a balanced frequency spectrum and enhances overall spectral power, enabling better modeling of high-frequency boundary and low-frequency structural uncertainty.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. 3D medical imaging is in high demand and essential for clinical diagnosis and scientific research. Currently, diffusion models have become an effective tool for medical imaging reconstruction thanks to their ability to learn rich, high‑quality data priors. However, learning the 3D data distribution with diffusion models in medical imaging is challenging, not only due to the difficulties in data collection but also because of the significant computational burden during model training. A common compromise is to train the diffusion model on 2D data priors and reconstruct stacked 2D slices to address 3D medical inverse problems. Code/project link: https://github.com/duchenhe/ISCS

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. We propose a frequency-oriented perspective on retinal representation learning by analyzing masked autoencoders (MAE) through the lens of spatial frequency. Our analysis shows that MAE favors low-frequency content while under-encoding diagnostically critical high-frequency structures in retinal images. Because retinal pathology often manifests in high-frequency detail, this bias limits diagnostic performance and motivates frequency-balanced representations. Within a mutual-information (MI) formulation of MAE, we introduce the Frequency-Balanced Retinal Masked Autoencoder (RetMAE), which augments the reconstruction objective with a MI regularizer that suppresses low-frequency redundancy and accentuates clinically salient high-frequency information.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Multimodal large language models are promising for clinical visual question answering tasks, but scaling to 3D imaging is hindered by high computational costs. Prior methods often rely on 2D slices or fixed-length token compression, disrupting volumetric continuity and obscuring subtle findings. We present Photon, a framework that represents 3D medical volumes with token sequences of variable length. Photon introduces instruction-conditioned token scheduling and surrogate gradient propagation to adaptively reduce tokens during both training and inference, which lowers computational cost while mitigating the attention dilution caused by redundant tokens.
