ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Typographic attacks exploit multi-modal systems by injecting text into images, leading to targeted misclassifications, malicious content generation and even Vision-Language Model jailbreaks. In this work, we analyze how CLIP vision encoders behave under typographic attacks, locating specialized attention heads in the latter half of the model's layers that causally extract and transmit typographic information to the cls token. Building on these insights, we introduce Dyslexify - a method to defend CLIP models against typographic attacks by selectively ablating a typographic circuit, consisting of attention heads. Without requiring finetuning, dyslexify improves performance by up to 22.06\% on a typographic variant of ImageNet-100, while reducing standard ImageNet-100 accuracy by less than 1\%, and demonstrate its utility in a medical foundation model for skin lesion diagnosis.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. DNA methylation (DNAm) is a key epigenetic modification that regulates gene expression and is pivotal in development and disease. However, profiling DNAm at genome scale is challenging: of $\textasciitilde$28 million CpG sites in the human genome, only about 1–3\% are typically assayed in common datasets due to technological limitations and cost. Recent deep learning approaches, including masking-based generative Transformer models, have shown promise in capturing DNAm–gene expression relationships, but they rely on partially observed DNAm values for unmeasured CpGs and cannot be applied to completely unmeasured samples. To overcome this barrier, we introduce MethylProphet, a gene-guided, context-aware Transformer model for whole-genome DNAm inference without any measured DNAm input.

ICLR 2026 Oral accepted paper at ICLR 2026. In this work, we propose FFDP, a set of IO-aware non-GEMM fused kernels supplemented with a distributed framework for image registration at unprecedented scales. Image registration is an inverse problem fundamental to biomedical and life sciences, but algorithms have not scaled in tandem with image acquisition capabilities. Our framework complements existing model parallelism techniques proposed for large-scale transformer training by optimizing non-GEMM bottlenecks and enabling convolution-aware tensor sharding. We demonstrate unprecedented capabilities by performing multimodal registration of a 100μm ex-vivo human brain MRI volume at native resolution – an inverse problem more than 570× larger than a standard clinical datum in about a minute using only 8 A6000 GPUs.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. We present a dynamical-systems based model for resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), trained on a dataset of roughly $40$K rs-fMRI sequences covering a wide variety of public and available-by-permission datasets. While most existing proposals use transformer backbones, we utilize multi-resolution temporal modeling of the dynamics across parcellated brain regions. We show that MnemoDyn is compute efficient and generalizes very well across diverse populations and scanning protocols. When benchmarked against current state-of-the-art transformer-based approaches, MnemoDyn consistently delivers superior reconstruction quality.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) have recently been proposed as a promising way to train tabular foundation models. PFNs are transformers that are pre-trained on synthetic data generated from a prespecified prior distribution and that enable Bayesian inference through in-context learning. In this paper, we introduce CausalFM, a comprehensive framework for training PFN-based foundation models in various causal inference settings. First, we formalize the construction of Bayesian priors for causal inference based on structural causal models (SCMs) in a principled way and derive necessary criteria for the validity of such priors. Building on this, we propose a novel family of prior distributions using causality-inspired Bayesian neural networks that enable CausalFM to perform Bayesian causal inference in various settings, including for back-door, front-door, and instrumental variable adjustment.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Learning from multi-variate time-series with heterogeneous channel configurations remains a fundamental challenge for deep neural networks, particularly in clinical domains such as intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG), where channel setups vary widely across subjects. In this work, we introduce multi-variate parallel attention (MVPA), a novel self-attention mechanism that disentangles content, temporal, and spatial attention, enabling flexible, generalizable, and efficient modeling of time-series data with varying channel counts and configurations. We use MVPA to build MVPFormer, a generative foundation model for human electrophysiology, trained to predict the evolution of iEEG signals across diverse subjects. To support this and future efforts by the community, we release the SWEC iEEG dataset, the largest publicly available iEEG dataset to date, comprising nearly 10,000 hours of recordings from heterogeneous clinical sources.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Estimating heterogeneous treatment effects (HTEs) in time-varying settings is particularly challenging, as the probability of observing certain treatment sequences decreases exponentially with longer prediction horizons. Thus, the observed data contain little support for many plausible treatment sequences, which creates severe overlap problems. Existing meta-learners for the time-varying setting typically assume adequate treatment overlap, and thus suffer from exploding estimation variance when the overlap is low. To address this problem, we introduce a novel overlap-weighted orthogonal WO meta-learner for estimating HTEs that targets regions in the observed data with high probability of receiving the interventional treatment sequences.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Lightweight 3D medical image segmentation remains constrained by a fundamental "efficiency / robustness conflict", particularly when processing complex anatomical structures and heterogeneous modalities. In this paper, we study how to redesign the framework based on the characteristics of high-dimensional 3D images, and explore data synergy to overcome the fragile representation of lightweight methods. Our approach, VeloxSeg, begins with a deployable and extensible dual-stream CNN-Transformer architecture composed of Paired Window Attention (PWA) and Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma-guided convolution (JLC). For each 3D image, we invoke a "glance-and-focus" principle, where PWA rapidly retrieves multi-scale information, and JLC ensures robust local feature extraction with minimal parameters, significantly enhancing the model's ability to operate with low computational budget.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Predicting spatial gene expression from H\&E histology offers a scalable and clinically accessible alternative to sequencing, but realizing clinical impact requires models that generalize across cancer types and capture biologically coherent signals. Prior work is often limited to per-cancer settings and variance-based evaluation, leaving functional relevance underexplored. We introduce HistoPrism, an efficient transformer-based architecture for pan-cancer prediction of gene expression from histology. To evaluate biological meaning, we introduce a pathway-level benchmark, shifting assessment from isolated gene-level variance to coherent functional pathways.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Accurate detection of clinically meaningful events in healthcare time-series data is crucial for reliable downstream analysis and decision support. However, most existing methods struggle to jointly localize event boundaries and classify event types; even detection transformer (DETR)-based approaches show limited performance when confronted with extremely sparse events typical of clinical recordings. To address these challenges, we propose a coarse-to-fine detection framework combining a global context explorer, a local detail inspector, and an adaptive gating module (AGM) that fuses multiple label perspectives. The AGM uses transformed labels—encoding event presence and temporal position—to improve learning on sparse events.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Samples of brain signals collected by EEG sensors have inherent anti-correlations that are well modeled by negative edges in a finite graph. To differentiate epilepsy patients from healthy subjects using collected EEG signals, we build lightweight and interpretable transformer-like neural nets by unrolling a spectral denoising algorithm for signals on a balanced signed graph---graph with no cycles of odd number of negative edges. A balanced signed graph has well-defined frequencies that map to a corresponding positive graph via similarity transform of the graph Laplacian matrices. We implement an ideal low-pass filter efficiently on the mapped positive graph via Lanczos approximation, where the optimal cutoff frequency is learned from data.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Foundation models are reshaping EEG analysis, yet an important problem of EEG tokenization remains a challenge. This paper presents TFM-Tokenizer, a novel tokenization framework that learns a vocabulary of time-frequency motifs from *single-channel* EEG signals and encodes them into discrete tokens. We propose a dual-path architecture with time–frequency masking to capture robust motif representations, and it is model-agnostic, supporting both lightweight transformers and existing foundation models for downstream tasks. Our study demonstrates three key benefits: *Accuracy:* Experiments on four diverse EEG benchmarks demonstrate consistent performance gains across both single- and multi-dataset pretraining settings, achieving up to $11\%$ improvement in Cohen’s Kappa over strong baselines.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Generating high-resolution 3D CT volumes with fine details remains challenging due to substantial computational demands and optimization difficulties inherent to existing generative models. In this paper, we propose the Pixel-Level Residual Diffusion Transformer (PRDiT), a scalable generative framework that synthesizes high-quality 3D medical volumes directly at voxel-level. PRDiT introduces a two-stage training architecture comprising 1) a local denoiser in the form of an MLP-based blind estimator operating on overlapping 3D patches to separate low-frequency structures efficiently, and 2) a global residual diffusion transformer employing memory-efficient attention to model and refine high-frequency residuals across entire volumes. This coarse-to-fine modeling strategy simplifies optimization, enhances training stability, and effectively preserves subtle structures without the limitations of an autoencoder bottleneck.

ICLR 2026 Oral accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Accurate analysis of Medical time series (MedTS) data, such as Electroencephalography (EEG) and Electrocardiography (ECG), plays a pivotal role in healthcare applications, including the diagnosis of brain and heart diseases. MedTS data typically exhibits two critical patterns: **temporal dependencies** within individual channels and **channel dependencies** across multiple channels. While recent advances in deep learning have leveraged Transformer-based models to effectively capture temporal dependencies, they often struggle to model channel dependencies. This limitation stems from a structural mismatch: ***MedTS signals are inherently centralized, whereas the Transformer's attention is decentralized***, making it less effective at capturing global synchronization and unified waveform patterns.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Cancer treatment efficacy exhibits high inter-patient heterogeneity due to genomic variations. While large-scale in vitro drug response data from cancer cell lines exist, predicting patient drug responses remains challenging due to genomic distribution shifts and the scarcity of clinical response data. Existing transfer learning methods primarily align global genomic features between cell lines and patients. However, they often ignore two critical aspects. First, drug response depends on specific drug substructures and genomic pathways. Second, drug response mechanisms differ in vitro and in vivo settings due to factors such as the immune system and tumor microenvironment.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound imaging is limited by qualitative variability and its reliance on the expertise of medical professionals. Such challenges increase demand for computer-aided diagnostic systems that enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. However, the unique texture and structural attributes of ultrasound images, and the scarcity of large-scale ultrasound datasets hinder the effective application of conventional machine learning methodologies. To address the challenges, we propose Anatomy-aware Representation Learning (ARL), a novel self-supervised representation learning framework specifically designed for medical ultrasound imaging.

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Body composition analysis through CT and MRI imaging provides critical insights for cardio-metabolic health assessment but remains limited by accessibility barriers including radiation exposure, high costs, and infrastructure requirements. We present AbdCTBench, a large-scale dataset containing 23,506 CT-derived abdominal surface meshes from 18,719 patients, paired with 87 comorbidity labels, 31 specific diagnosis codes, and 16 CT-derived biomarkers. Our key insight is that external surface geometry is predictive of internal tissue composition, enabling accessible health screening through consumer devices. We establish comprehensive benchmarks across seven computer vision architectures (ResNet-18/34/50, DenseNet-121, EfficientNet-B0, ViT-Small, Swin Transformer-Base), demonstrating that models can learn robust surface-to-biomarker representations directly from 2D mesh projections.
