• Abstract: In X-ray tomography, reconstruction quality generally improves with larger numbers of projections. However, more projections increase experiment costs, acquisition time and the radiation dose imparted to the sample. One mitigation to these trade-offs is to adopt a sequential design of experiments, in which each subsequent measurement is determined as a function of previously acquired data in order to maximize information gain. In practice, a widely used heuristic to maximize information is to align beams with the edges of the sample. A key challenge, however, is that the true sample is unknown, so identifying edge-aligned beams typically requires reconstructing the sample based on available measurements. This work proposes a novel sequential design method that identifies edge-aligned measurements directly from the sinogram, bypassing any reconstruction, thereby improving computational efficiency and reducing the experimental design's susceptibility to reconstruction errors. Our method dynamically selects the next set of measurement beams by maximizing an acquisition function that balances exploration and exploitation over the domain of all possible measurements, improving reconstruction quality while reducing measurement redundancy.

• Improving Predictor Reliability with Selective Recalibration [15.319277333431318]
  Recalibration is one of the most effective ways to produce reliable confidence estimates with a pre-trained model. We propose textitselective recalibration, where a selection model learns to reject some user-chosen proportion of the data. Our results show that selective recalibration consistently leads to significantly lower calibration error than a wide range of selection and recalibration baselines.

  Dealing with incomplete data is important when a patient is vulnerable to potentially damaging radiation or is unable to cope with the long scanning time. This paper uses a swarm-based reconstruction from highly undersampled data where particles move in image space in an attempt to minimise the reconstruction error. The proposed method is shown to produce lower reproduction errors compared to standard tomographic reconstruction toolbox algorithms.
