Foundation models yield less human-interpretable features than supervised vision transformers, with interpretability tied to activation locality and coarse semantic alignment rather than task performance.

Proposes LHE, SRB, and AFL components in a semantics-first latent framework that yields better 3D MRI reconstruction and cross-contrast synthesis on two public datasets.
DALE-CT, a 2D LeJEPA model with depth-aware dual supervision, reaches 0.833 Macro AUROC on multi-abnormality detection in CT and approaches 3D SOTA performance using less data and no textual supervision.
VoxCor creates reusable volumetric features from frozen 2D ViT models by combining triplanar inference with a closed-form weighted partial least squares projection, enabling direct voxel correspondence across modalities without training or registration.
Natural-domain foundation models provide competitive and more robust priors than task-specific models for accelerated cardiac MRI reconstruction in cross-domain settings.
A vision transformer classifier trained on simulated and real Euclid data recovers all known strong lenses in test sets and finds 8 Grade A plus 26 Grade B new candidates in the Q1 data.
DINOCell achieves a SEG score of 0.784 on LIVECell by self-supervised domain adaptation of DINOv2, improving 10.42% over SAM-based models and showing strong zero-shot transfer.
