Joint MR sequence optimization beats pure neural network approaches for spin-echo MRI super-resolution
Current MRI super-resolution (SR) methods only use existing contrasts acquired from typical clinical sequences as input for the neural network (NN). In turbo spin echo sequences (TSE) the sequence parameters can have a strong influence on the actual resolution of the acquired image and have consequently a considera-ble impact on the performance of the NN. We propose a known-operator learning approach to perform an end-to-end optimization of MR sequence and neural net-work parameters for SR-TSE. This MR-physics-informed training procedure jointly optimizes the radiofrequency pulse train of a proton density- (PD-) and T2-weighted TSE and a subsequently applied convolutional neural network to predict the corresponding PDw and T2w super-resolution TSE images. The found radiofrequency pulse train designs generate an optimal signal for the NN to perform the SR task. Our method generalizes from the simulation-based optimi-zation to in vivo measurements and the acquired physics-informed SR images show higher correlation with a time-consuming segmented high-resolution TSE sequence compared to a pure network training approach.

Open-Domain Frame Semantic Parsing Using Transformers
Frame semantic parsing is a complex problem which includes multiple underlying subtasks. Recent approaches have employed joint learning of subtasks (such as predicate and argument detection), and multi-task learning of r…

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) and on-policy distillation (OPD) have emerged as two dominant methods for post-training reasoning LLMs. Prior work uses OPD's dense token-level supervision to complem…
Reinforcement LearningAn Analysis Method for Metric-Level Switching in Beat Tracking
For expressive music, the tempo may change over time, posing challenges to tracking the beats by an automatic model. The model may first tap to the correct tempo, but then may fail to adapt to a tempo change, or switch b…

We offer a rescoring method for grammatical error correction which is based on two-stage procedure: the first stage model extracts local edits and the second classiifies them as correct or false. We show how to use an en…
