We propose a general method for deep learning based point cloud analysis, which is invariant to rotation on the inputs. Classical methods are vulnerable to rotation, as they usually take aligned point clouds as input. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is a practical approach to achieve rotation invariance. However, there are still some gaps between theory and practical algorithms. In this work, we present a thorough study on designing rotation invariant algorithms for point cloud analysis. We first formulate it as a permutation invariant problem, then propose a general framework which can be combined with any backbones. Our method is beneficial for further research such as 3D pre-training and multi-modal learning. Experiments show that our method has considerable or better performance compared to state-of-the-art approaches on common benchmarks.

There is an increasing interest in developing LLMs for medical diagnosis to improve diagnosis efficiency. Despite their alluring technological potential, there is no unified and comprehensive evaluation criterion, leading to the inability to evaluate the quality and potential risks of medical LLMs, further hindering the application of LLMs in medical treatment scenarios. Besides, current evaluations heavily rely on labor-intensive interactions with LLMs to obtain diagnostic dialogues and human evaluation on the quality of diagnosis dialogue. To tackle the lack of unified and comprehensive evaluation criterion, we first initially establish an evaluation criterion, termed LLM-specific Mini-CEX to assess the diagnostic capabilities of LLMs effectively, based on original Mini-CEX. To address the labor-intensive interaction problem, we develop a patient simulator to engage in automatic conversations with LLMs, and utilize ChatGPT for evaluating diagnosis dialogues automatically. Experimental results show that the LLM-specific Mini-CEX is adequate and necessary to evaluate medical diagnosis dialogue. Besides, ChatGPT can replace manual evaluation on the metrics of humanistic qualities and provides reproducible and automated comparisons between different LLMs.
