- TriView-YOLO: Early Multi-View Fusion for Ground Penetrating Radar Cavity Detection in Soft, High-Water-Content Soils
Automated detection of subsurface cavities from Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is most difficult in soft, high-water-content ground, where conductive, water-saturated soil attenuates the signal and degrades cavity reflections, yet this is also the condition under which cavities most readily form. Th...
- A Height-Constrained 2-Point Minimal Solver for Pose Estimation from Active LED Markers with Event Cameras
In many autonomous applications requiring real-time localization, active marker-based systems are preferred due to their low latency and ease of deployment compared to computationally demanding feature-based methods. Event~\mbox{cameras} offer high temporal resolution and minimal delay and are commo...
- XFeat Revisited: Reproducibility and Evaluation of a Lightweight Image Matcher
We present a reproducibility study of XFeat, a lightweight local feature extractor and matcher designed to identify corresponding points across images efficiently on resource-constrained hardware. We re-implement the architecture based on the paper and supplementary material, re-evaluate the authors...
- SwissCrop25: A National Multi-Year Benchmark for Operational Crop Mapping
Operational crop mapping requires models that generalise across years, resolve fine-grained crop taxonomies, and distinguish cropland from surrounding landscapes. However, existing crop mapping datasets enable evaluation of these requirements only in isolation. We therefore introduce SwissCrop25, a ...
- Agreement-Based Audio-Visual Segmentation:Champion Report for the MeViS-Audio Track in the 8th LSVOS Challenge
The MeViS-Audio track asks a system to segment the objects described by a spoken motion expression throughout a video and to return empty masks when the described target is absent. We present a simple staged solution. Qwen3-ASR first converts speech into text. Several video mask tracks are then prod...
- FaLCon: Facet-Anchored Retrieval with Late Consensus for Sim2Real Text-Based Person Anomaly Search
Text-based person anomaly search requires retrieving real-world pedestrian images from detailed natural-language descriptions using models trained primarily on synthetic data. This Sim2Real setting is particularly challenging because visually similar candidates may differ only in subtle actions, obj...
- Flow-based conditional cardiac anatomy generation for virtual cohorts
Cardiac digital twin research is moving from subject-specific anatomical replicas toward virtual cohorts that represent clinically relevant population subgroups. Yet access to representative imaging-derived anatomy datasets remains limited by cohort size, subgroup sparsity, and data-sharing constrai...
- A Content-Aware Pure Permutation with Intrinsic Avalanche Effect: Breaking the Diffusion-Permutation Dichotomy
Pixel permutation is a fundamental tool in image processing, image encryption, and data hiding (including watermarking and steganography) that rearranges pixels without changing their values. A common assumption in the literature is that permutation alone cannot create differential sensitivity; chan...
- Sekai2: From World Exploration to Interactive World Modeling
Video world models must capture how scenes evolve over time and across viewpoints. Training them for long-horizon generation and camera control therefore benefits from long videos paired with camera trajectories and temporally grounded semantics. Existing corpora rarely offer the three together: lar...
- VANE: Reliable Test-Time Training for Vision-Language-Action Models via Future Visual Representation Prediction
Test-time training (TTT) offers a lightweight way to adapt vision--language--action (VLA) policies from unlabeled deployment streams, but it remains difficult to use reliably in closed-loop manipulation. A shared adaptation space can mix incompatible task corrections, while an online update can alte...
- Unveiling the Secret of AdaLN-Zero in Diffusion Transformer
Diffusion transformer (DiT), a rapidly emerging architecture for image generation, has gained much attention. However, despite ongoing efforts to improve its performance, the understanding of DiT remains superficial. In this work, we delve into and investigate a critical conditioning mechanism withi...
- Foundation Models are Implicit Deepfake Detectors
Pretrained self-supervised representations have emerged as a core component of current deepfake detection methods, yet it remains unclear which of their properties make real and fake media distinguishable. In this work, we uncover a surprisingly consistent phenomenon: across multiple pretrained mode...
- ReliableNet: A Chance-Constrained Approach to Trustworthy Classification in Deep Learning
A prediction that is both confident and wrong is a critical reliability failure because it can bypass abstention and human review precisely when the model is mistaken. Empirical risk minimization (ERM) controls average loss but not this failure directly, while calibration, uncertainty estimation, co...
- Input convex neural networks as surrogates in mathematical optimisation
Embedding trained neural networks as surrogates within optimisation problems is an established practice in operations research. The prevailing approach uses feedforward neural networks (FNNs) with ReLU activations, whose piecewise-linear structure admits an exact but computationally intensive mixed-...

- Deep Learning based Detection of Fishing Vessels and Fishing Monitoring using Nightlight Images
The demand for maritime surveillance has given rise to the need for monitoring fishing vessel activities, particularly in addressing the challenge of "dark vessels" that operate without Automatic Identification System (AIS) transmission. This study presents a novel approach for detecting small-scale...
- Test-Time Augmentation for LLMs: When Input Diversity Beats Output Diversity at Matched Compute
Test-time scaling improves LLM accuracy but multiplies inference cost, making the accuracy gained per unit of compute the metric that matters in deployment. Self-consistency is one of the established approaches, which spends this budget entirely on the output side by sampling repeated reasoning path...
- A Machine Learning Based Search for Lunar Anomalies
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been collecting high-resolution images (at around 0.5-2 meters per pixel linearly with its Narrow Angle Camera) of the Moon since 2009, amassing a large dataset of images and offering researchers the opportunity to study the surface of the Moon at unprecede...
- PET/CT Radiogenomic Mutation Prediction in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Using Multi-Label Learning
Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer- related mortality worldwide. Although targeted therapies have improved outcomes for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), they rely on mutation profiling through tissue biopsy, an invasive procedure with several limitations. This s...
- Test-Time Scaling for CAD Generation via Verifier-Free Consensus Selection
Large language models can write parametric CAD programs from a natural-language description (text-to-CAD generation), but a single sample is often wrong. Increasing test-time compute by sampling multiple candidates only helps if a good candidate can be identified, yet no ground-truth model is availa...
- Activation Probes Surface Code-Security Signals that the Model's Output Misses
AI coding agents now write a growing share of production code, and human security review does not scale at the rate code is generated. The agents in widest use are closed-weight, so a deploying team cannot read their internals. It can instead run an open-weight model as a reviewer over the agent's o...
- Satellite Trajectory Optimization via Proximal Policy Optimization for Space Debris Avoidance
Collision avoidance systems are commonly used to avoid fragmentation events occurring in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO). However, these events have been growing in frequency as orbital congestion worsens with the launch of megaconstellations. Consequently, conjunctio...
- Tracking the Best Strategy in an Extensive-Form Game
We consider the extensive-form bandit problem where on each trial the learner plays an extensive-form game against an oblivious adversary. We focus on the notion of switching regret, which measures the expected performance of the learner against that of any switching sequence of mixed strategies in ...
- MixFormer: Linear Transformer with Mixture of Memory Experts
State Space Models (SSMs), as a mainstream research direction of linear Transformers, aim to achieve higher efficiency than standard Transformers in long-context modeling. However, existing SSMs suffer from limited input adaptivity and constrained memory capacity, leading to information loss when mo...
- WDL-OPD: Weak-Driven On-Policy Distillation via Mixture-Constrained Co-Training
On-policy distillation (OPD) aligns a student with a teacher on trajectories sampled from the student itself, reducing the train-test state mismatch of offline distillation. The same feedback loop can nevertheless be unstable: each update changes both the policy and the states on which the next upda...
- How Simple Can It Get? From Interpretable Equations to Readable Rules for Financial Decision Making
In regulated domains such as finance, a model that cannot be explained cannot be deployed, yet many interpretable classifiers defeat their own purpose by producing formulas with dozens of features that no regulator could read. We take the reverse direction. Starting from an interpretable classifier ...
- A Mechanistic Diagnostic of Rank Collapse in Post-Norm Decoder Transformers
Deep decoder-only Transformers often replace the original Post-Norm architecture with Pre-Norm variants because Post-Norm training is highly sensitive to warmup and learning rate under conventional initialization schemes. Although prior work has identified rank collapse and gradient vanishing as rel...
- Imaginative Generative AI: Crossing the Entropy Wall into Worlds Beyond Imitation
Generative AI models are primarily designed to imitate the data distribution, an objective that neither corrects diversity lost by a learned generator nor defines how generation should extend beyond the diversity of the data itself. We introduce Imaginative Generative AI (IGA), a framework that make...
- Beyond Binary: Continuous State Optimization with Graph-Structured Objectives
Large-scale learning systems often face the challenge of balancing multiple, potentially competing objectives, such as fairness, accuracy, and latency. While recent work has formalized this as an optimization problem over binary states, many real-world control parameters, such as fairness th...
- In-Context Density Estimation for Tabular Data
Density estimation underlies many unsupervised tasks on tabular data such as anomaly detection, out-of-distribution detection, and data augmentation. Although all these problems reduce to questions about where probability mass lies, they are typically solved individually by fitting a separate model ...
- RoboSeg: Online Part-Level Semantic Reconstruction for Robotic Manipulation via a Single Eye-in-Hand Camera
Robotic manipulation requires perception systemsthat identify actionable parts such as handles, rims, triggers,and tool tips, not merely object categories or point clouds. This paper presents RoboSeg, a part-level semantic reconstructionsystem that links vision-language model (VLM) functional-partdi...
