Intraoperative bleeding during Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) poses significant risks, demanding precise, real-time localization and continuous monitoring of the bleeding source for effective hemostatic intervention. In particular, endoscopists have to repeatedly flush to clear blood, allowing only milliseconds to identify bleeding sources, an inefficient process that prolongs operations and elevates patient risks. However, current Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods primarily focus on bleeding region segmentation, overlooking the critical need for accurate bleeding source detection and temporal tracking in the challenging ESD environment, which is marked by frequent visual obstructions and dynamic scene changes. This gap is widened by the lack of specialized datasets, hindering the development of robust AI-assisted guidance systems. To address these challenges, we introduce BleedOrigin-Bench, the first comprehensive ESD bleeding source dataset, featuring 1,771 expert-annotated bleeding sources across 106,222 frames from 44 procedures, supplemented with 39,755 pseudo-labeled frames. This benchmark covers 8 anatomical sites and 6 challenging clinical scenarios. We also present BleedOrigin-Net, a novel dual-stage detection-tracking framework for the bleeding source localization in ESD procedures, addressing the complete workflow from bleeding onset detection to continuous spatial tracking. We compare with widely-used object detection models (YOLOv11/v12), multimodal large language models, and point tracking methods. Extensive evaluation demonstrates state-of-the-art performance, achieving 96.85% frame-level accuracy ($\pm\leq8$ frames) for bleeding onset detection, 70.24% pixel-level accuracy ($\leq100$ px) for initial source detection, and 96.11% pixel-level accuracy ($\leq100$ px) for point tracking.

Motor imagery classification is of great significance to humans with mobility impairments, and how to extract and utilize the effective features from motor imagery electroencephalogram(EEG) channels has always been the focus of attention. There are many different methods for the motor imagery classification, but the limited understanding on human brain requires more effective methods for extracting the features of EEG data. Graph neural networks(GNNs) have demonstrated its effectiveness in classifying graph structures; and the use of GNN provides new possibilities for brain structure connection feature extraction. In this paper we propose a novel graph neural network based on the mutual information of the raw EEG channels called MutualGraphNet. We use the mutual information as the adjacency matrix combined with the spatial temporal graph convolution network(ST-GCN) could extract the transition rules of the motor imagery electroencephalogram(EEG) channels data more effectively. Experiments are conducted on motor imagery EEG data set and we compare our model with the current state-of-the-art approaches and the results suggest that MutualGraphNet is robust enough to learn the interpretable features and outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods.
