DFCLite: A Lightweight Dynamic Functional Connectivity Model for Federated Learning in fMRI-Based Disease Classification

Machine learning models can be trained on fMRI data to classify brain disorders. However, due to the medical nature of the data, complications such as data privacy, heterogeneity, and scarcity might disrupt training or render centralized machine learning unfeasible. This paper proposes an efficient dynamic functional connectivity model leveraging Graph Neural Networks and 1D-CNNs to capture temporal dependencies, balancing computational efficiency and generalizability for federated learning scenarios.

Road Segmentation for ADAS/AD Applications

Accurate road segmentation is essential for autonomous driving and ADAS, enabling effective navigation in complex environments. This study examines how model architecture and dataset choice affect segmentation by training a modified VGG-16 on the Comma10k dataset and a modified U-Net on the KITTI Road dataset. Both models achieved high accuracy, with cross-dataset testing showing VGG-16 outperforming U-Net despite U-Net being trained for more epochs.
