Aggregate object detection metrics inherently mask catastrophic and repeatable failures in operationally critical, long-tail minority classes. This paper formally defines this pervasive vulnerability as the Hard-Category Reliability Problem (HCRP): t... read more
Aligning Text-to-Image (T2I) generation models with human preferences increasingly relies on image reward models that score or rank generated images according to prompt alignment and perceptual quality. Existing reward models are commonly trained as ... read more
The rapid growth of online video platforms and AI-generated content has made reliable video guardrails a key challenge for safety and real-world deployment. While most videos can be screened through fast pattern recognition, a small subset requires d... read more
Here's a trimmed version under 1920 characters: Open-vocabulary segmentation models such as SAM3 achieve strong performance through concept-level text prompting, yet degrade when the target class is visually underrepresented in pretraining data or ... read more
The Segment Anything Model (SAM) achieves strong open-vocabulary segmentation, but its ViT-based image encoders dominate inference latency and memory. Existing activation compression methods, such as token merging, reduce the token length to process,... read more
A fast simulation of the detector response is a vital task in high-energy physics (HEP). Traditional Monte-Carlo methods form the backbone of modern particle physics simulation software but are computationally expensive. We present a machine-learning... read more
Hand-surface interactions between clinicians, patients, and medical equipment play a central role in pathogen transmission during medical procedures. However, these interactions remain largely unobserved, as current infection-prevention practices rel... read more
Different age-related regulations have been proposed to protect minors from harmful content and interactions online. Automated age estimation is central to enforcing such regulations, and vision-language models (VLMs) achieve state-of-the-art perform... read more
The design of modern neural architectures has converged through incremental empirical choices, yet the mechanisms governing their training dynamics remain only partially understood. We identify and analyze a negative weight drift induced by the inter... read more
Implementation of digital pathology leads to an increased number of whole slide images (WSIs). The large size of WSIs is challenging. Today, WSIs are compressed with codecs like JPEG resulting in several gigabytes per WSI, and large amounts of space ... read more
