A foundation for systematic analysis of transformers and RNNs for tractography

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.01894v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a promising approach for improving diffusion MRI (dMRI) tractography, a task that remains limited by the intrinsic tension between local diffusion information and global anatomical plausibility. In this work, we systematically evaluate recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and Transformer models for iterative tractography, with particular attention to training strategies, input representations (including convolutiona
