Diffusion-based audio-driven talking-head generation enables realistic portrait animation, but also introduces risks of misuse, such as fraud and misinformation. Existing protection methods are largely limited to a single modality, and neither image-... read more
Photonic neural networks promise ultrafast inference, yet most architectures rely on linear optical meshes with electronic nonlinearities, reintroducing optical-electrical-optical bottlenecks. Here we introduce small-scale photonic Kolmogorov-Arnold ... read more
Open-Vocabulary Segmentation (OVS) aims to segment image regions beyond predefined category sets by leveraging semantic descriptions. While CLIP based approaches excel in semantic generalization, they frequently lack the fine-grained spatial awarenes... read more
Topological Data Analysis (TDA) provides tools to describe the shape of data, but integrating topological features into deep learning pipelines remains challenging, especially when preserving local geometric structure rather than summarizing it globa... read more
Human-like generalization in open-world remains a fundamental challenge for robotic manipulation. Existing learning-based methods, including reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and vision-language-action-models (VLAs), often struggle with nov... read more
Multimodal reasoning models (MRMs) trained with reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) show improved accuracy on visual reasoning benchmarks. However, we observe that accuracy gains often come at the cost of reasoning quality: generate... read more
Scanpath similarity metrics are central to eye-movement research, yet existing methods predominantly evaluate spatial and temporal alignment while neglecting semantic equivalence between attended image regions. We present a semantic scanpath similari... read more
We tackle the problem of sparse novel view synthesis (NVS) using video diffusion models; given $K$ ($\approx 5$) multi-view images of a scene and their camera poses, we predict the view from a target camera pose. Many prior approaches leverage genera... read more
Class Activation Mapping (CAM) methods are widely used to generate visual explanations for deep learning classifiers in medical imaging. However, existing evaluation frameworks assess whether explanations are correct, measured by localisation fidelit... read more
Transfer learning followed by fine-tuning is widely adopted in medical image classification due to consistent gains in diagnostic performance. However, in multi-class settings with overlapping visual features, improvements in accuracy do not guarante... read more
