3D > 2D for patellar instability 🦵 Our new study in OJSM introduces 3D-PASS, a score that describes patellar instability severity using 3D anatomical data and is capable of predicting patient outcomes Higher 3D-PASS <> worse predicted outcomes 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/2325... @aossmjournals.bsky.social
Overlaid axial, sagittal, and coronal views of the mean control knee (score = 0.0) and the mean recurrent instability knee (score = 3.5). A higher score, associated with the recurrent instability cohort, reflects a combination of greater patellar tilt, height, and lateral displacement; greater external rotation of the tibia relative to the femur; more knee valgus; and more posterior offset of the tibia relative to the femur.

We're moving closer to using 3D imaging to personalize operative vs nonoperative decisions for patients. 🏥🩹 Very grateful to collaborate with an amaing team including @aagatti.bsky.social, the JUPITER Study Group, Scott Delp, and Seth Sherman!

I can't* fathom why the top picture, and not the bottom picture, is the standard diagram for an autoencoder. The whole idea of an autoencoder is that you complete a round trip and seek cycle consistency—why lay out the network linearly?

“Everyone knows” what an autoencoder is… but there's an important complementary picture missing from most introductory material. In short: we emphasize how autoencoders are implemented—but not always what they represent (and some of the implications of that representation).🧵

We are starting to see some nuanced discussions of what it means to work with advanced AI in its current state In this case, GPT-5 Pro was able to do novel math, but only when guided by a math professor (though the paper also noted the speed of advance since GPT-4) The reflection is worth reading.

Methods like NeRF and Gaussian Splats model the world as radioactive fog, rendered using alpha blending. This produces great results.. but are volumes the only way to get there?🤔 Our new SIGGRAPH'25 paper directly reconstructs surfaces without heuristics or regularizers.

I love this type of approach - for imaging, biomechanics, or other domains… Take high quality dense data, use physics simulators to generate synthetic sparse data, then train a model to recon dense data from sparse measurements. Lots of potential pitfalls, but the concept is immensely powerful.

Are there useful or interesting ways to use LLMs other than prompting them? I feel like compressing all the text in the world via a hierarchically structured statistical model is probably useful, but that we're using it in a way that is unlikely to do what we'd hope.

It pains me to say this, but if you are not a US citizen, you should not attend scientific conferences in the US, visit US institutions, or otherwise travel to our country. Right now it's not worth the risk. Hopefully that will change. If it doesn't, science in the US is sunk anyway.
