Multi-view learning has been widely applied for sleep stage classification using multi-modal data. However, existing methods typically assume that different modalities are well-aligned, which is often unattainable in real-world scenarios, thereby compromising the reliability of the staging results. In this paper, we propose ConfSleepNet, a conflict-aware evidential framework that dynamically resolves inter-view conflicts. The framework consists of multi-view evidence extraction and conflict-aware aggregation. In the first phase, it learns category-related evidence from different modalities, which represents the degree of support for individual sleep stages. Considering the inherent characteristics of varying modalities, we propose hybrid category structures for different modalities to promote more reasonable evidence learning. In the second phase, view-specific opinions, including prediction results and uncertainty, are constructed from the learned evidence. Notably, we propose a novel conflict-aware aggregation method that integrates these view-specific opinions into a reliable joint decision. This mechanism can effectively resolve conflicts among opinions and synthesize them into a reliable joint decision. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of ConfSleepNet in sleep staging tasks. The code is available at https://github.com/By4te/ConfSleepNet_ICML2026/.

The existing 3D deep learning methods adopt either individual point-based features or local-neighboring voxel-based features, and demonstrate great potential for processing 3D data. However, the point based models are inefficient due to the unordered nature of point clouds and the voxel-based models suffer from large information loss. Motivated by the success of recent point-voxel representation, such as PVCNN, we propose a new convolutional neural network, called Multi Point-Voxel Convolution (MPVConv), for deep learning on point clouds. Integrating both the advantages of voxel and point-based methods, MPVConv can effectively increase the neighboring collection between point-based features and also promote independence among voxel-based features. Moreover, most of the existing approaches aim at solving one specific task, and only a few of them can handle a variety of tasks. Simply replacing the corresponding convolution module with MPVConv, we show that MPVConv can fit in different backbones to solve a wide range of 3D tasks. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets such as ShapeNet Part, S3DIS and KITTI for various tasks show that MPVConv improves the accuracy of the backbone (PointNet) by up to \textbf{36\%}, and achieves higher accuracy than the voxel-based model with up to \textbf{34}$\times$ speedups. In addition, MPVConv outperforms the state-of-the-art point-based models with up to \textbf{8}$\times$ speedups. Notably, our MPVConv achieves better accuracy than the newest point-voxel-based model PVCNN (a model more efficient than PointNet) with lower latency.

We present a new convolutional neural network, called Multi Voxel-Point Neurons Convolution (MVPConv), for fast and accurate 3D deep learning. The previous works adopt either individual point-based features or local-neighboring voxel-based features to process 3D model, which limits the performance of models due to the inefficient computation. Moreover, most of the existing 3D deep learning frameworks aim at solving one specific task, and only a few of them can handle a variety of tasks. Integrating both the advantages of the voxel and point-based methods, the proposed MVPConv can effectively increase the neighboring collection between point-based features and also promote the independence among voxel-based features. Simply replacing the corresponding convolution module with MVPConv, we show that MVPConv can fit in different backbones to solve a wide range of 3D tasks. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets such as ShapeNet Part, S3DIS and KITTI for various tasks show that MVPConv improves the accuracy of the backbone (PointNet) by up to 36%, and achieves higher accuracy than the voxel-based model with up to 34 times speedup. In addition, MVPConv also outperforms the state-of-the-art point-based models with up to 8 times speedup. Notably, our MVPConv achieves better accuracy than the newest point-voxel-based model PVCNN (a model more efficient than PointNet) with lower latency.
