Abstract
Time-Resolved Spectroscopy (TRS) is a powerful modality for non-invasive characterization of turbid media. However, extracting optical properties, absorption and reduced scattering , from 3D stochastic measurements remains computationally expensive for real-time applications. In this paper, we propose a data-efficient, physics-informed transfer learning strategy using a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) network. By leveraging a fast deterministic solver to establish a physical prior before fine-tuning on a restricted set of 3D Monte Carlo simulations, our model successfully bridges the analytical-to-stochastic domain gap. The proposed method eliminates the systematic bias of analytical models while maintaining a competitive error with near-instantaneous inference time.
