Ur-147-188 Staged Multi-Modal Alzheimer Classification Using Uncertainty Quantification, Branden Chen, Ethan Litton, Long Doan

C-Day Computing Showcase

Diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease often depends on costly neuroimaging techniques such as MRIs and PET scans, which are not always accessible and can place a significant financial burden on healthcare systems. Existing clinical workflows lack a reliable way to determine which patients truly require these advanced tests, resulting in either unnecessary imaging or delayed and inaccurate diagnoses. To address this challenge, we propose the Uncertainty-Driven Dual-view (UDD) model, a multi-stage framework that integrates low-cost clinical and structural data with uncertainty-aware learning. The model first generates predictions using accessible data and quantifies its confidence, referring only high-uncertainty cases for further evaluation with …

Ur-084-219 Towards Bounding The Behavior Of Neural Networks, Emmanuel Nwankwo

C-Day Computing Showcase

Modern neural networks are typically considered black-box systems: while they are able to achieve state-of-the-art performance in many domains, it is difficult to elicit the reasons behind their decisions. From this, a sub-field of artificial intelligence called eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) arose to fill this gap. One approach to XAI is based on the symbolic compilation of a neural network's behavior to a logical formula. However, such approaches are limited in scalability, due to the fundamental difficulty of the problem. This research instead proposes an incremental and anytime approach to explaining the behavior of a neural network, for image recognition. …

Grm-134-128 Neurovision: Mapping Brain Signals To Language And Visual Meaning, Siri Yellu

C-Day Computing Showcase

NeuroVision presents a unified framework for mapping electroencephalography (EEG) signals to language and visual meaning. Extracting semantic information from EEG remains a fundamental challenge due to its low signal-to-noise ratio, high dimensionality, and inter-subject variability. To address these challenges, we propose a multimodal representation learning framework that aligns EEG signals with both textual and visual embeddings through temporal modeling, spatial brain-region decomposition, and contrastive learning. The framework integrates self-supervised pretraining with supervised multimodal alignment to learn robust and transferable representations. Experimental results demonstrate BLEU-1 of 0.1106 and ROUGE-1 of 0.1493 for EEG-to-text generation, alongside a 52% improvement in retrieval performance …

Grp-148-223 Uncertainty-Guided Conservative Propagation For Robust Coronary Artery Segmentation, Huan Huang, Chen Zhao Apr 2026

Grp-148-223 Uncertainty-Guided Conservative Propagation For Robust Coronary Artery Segmentation, Huan Huang, Chen Zhao

C-Day Computing Showcase

Coronary artery segmentation plays a key role in cardiovascular disease analysis, yet existing methods often produce fragmented and structurally inconsistent vessels in challenging regions. We propose an uncertainty-guided conservative propagation (UGCP) framework that improves segmentation reliability by allowing high-confidence regions to guide uncertain ones through controlled information propagation under a conservation principle. This mechanism enhances structural continuity while preventing unstable updates. Experiments on Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) and Invasive Coronary Angiography (ICA) datasets demonstrate improved segmentation accuracy and topology preservation. Additional evaluations on other vascular datasets further suggest the generalizability of the proposed approach.

Gc-173-232 A Surrogate Accountability Framework For Agentic Ai Systems, Crystal Tubbs

C-Day Computing Showcase

Agentic AI systems introduce new accountability challenges because autonomous agents can act, adapt, and execute decisions without continuous human oversight. This research develops the Surrogate Accountability Framework (SAF), an architectural approach for embedding external oversight, traceability, and control directly within agentic workflows. To operationalize SAF, a working system, Chrysalis, was designed and implemented as a real time governance layer that monitors agent behavior, evaluates decision pressure, and enforces constraints through validation and intervention mechanisms. By shifting accountability from post hoc evaluation to continuous system level enforcement, this approach reduces the risk of compounding errors and enables interpretable, actionable control signals. …
