Class imbalance in LiDAR point clouds poses challenges for semantic segmentation in autonomous navigation and urban mapping. While 2D vision has numerous mitigation techniques, their effectiveness in 3D remains unclear. We benchmark six reweighting schemes and five imbalance-aware losses across three datasets (DALES, S3DIS, STPLS3D) using two architectures (KPConv, RandLA-Net). Inverse-frequency w...
The impressive visual quality and ubiquity of AI-generated images call for reliable and robust detection methods. Reconstruction-based detectors have emerged as a promising direction for transparent and training-free identification of synthetic images. However, due to their fundamentally different mode of operation (compared to standard, classifier-based methods), little is known about their adver...
Modern Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (M-RAG) systems are fundamentally limited by the binary connectivity paradigm of traditional simple graphs, which fails to capture the intricate, high-order correlations among heterogeneous entities, such as the N-ary relationships between a visual chart, its scattered textual descriptions, and underlying numerical data. Furthermore, existing refine...
Identifying and representing object instances such as cells or nuclei is a common task in microscopy image analysis. Established machine learning workflows typically use supervised detection or segmentation followed by feature extraction or classification, which requires manual annotations and treats instance segmentation and cell representation as separate stages. We describe a new unsupervised m...
Financial document validation in production, such as payroll auditing, tax compliance, and loan underwriting, demands exceptional accuracy, consistency, and reproducibility under strict enterprise constraints. In practice, documents arrive with heterogeneous layouts and formats, semantically rich and context-dependent content, and embedded business rules that current pipelines struggle to process ...
Direct text-to-SQL asks a language model to do two jobs: interpret the business question and construct the complete relational query. In enterprise schemas, SQL can execute successfully while using the wrong relationship role or aggregation grain. We study an alternative placement of the stochastic boundary. A multi-turn planner grounds phrases and selects from question-specific governed options; ...
Retrieval-augmented and agentic question-answering systems increasingly re-derive the meaning of a corpus at query time. Put plainly, instead of re-deriving what a corpus means on every question, the work is done once when a document arrives and is thereafter merely consulted -- a compiler, not an interpreter, of meaning. An alternative is to compile that meaning once, at ingest time, into a compa...
Manual cephalometric landmark annotation is important for craniofacial assessment but is labor-intensive and difficult to scale. We introduce CephViT, a Vision Transformer-based model for automated 2D lateral cephalometric landmark localization, and evaluate its use in downstream skeletal malocclusion classification. CephViT was trained and benchmarked on a public lateral cephalogram dataset, achi...
Active 3D Gaussian reconstruction fundamentally relies on selecting informative next-best views under limited sensing budgets. Existing active 3DGS methods primarily plan viewpoints according to geometric information gain, treating object-induced hidden regions in the same manner as general unexplored space. Under tight frame budgets, such geometry-driven strategies may prioritize global scene cov...
LiDAR scene completion is a key component of 3D perception in autonomous driving, where the scene must be completed in real time to be usable in downstream tasks. Existing approaches typically follow an initialize-and-refine paradigm, in which a coarse initialization of the scene is first constructed, then refined into complete 3D geometry. Generative models are slower because they iteratively ref...
Foundational models for tabular data have made significant progress in recent years, with TabICLv2 reporting state-of-the-art performance on several tabular classification tasks. However, full-context tabular ICL still suffers from attention cost that grows with the training-context size, which limits its ability to handle large datasets efficiently. Localized TabICLv2 introduces a method that red...
Universal visual representations require adaptation mechanisms that adapt across heterogeneous domains without fragmenting knowledge into domain-specific modules. Parameter-efficient fine-tuning adapts frozen visual foundation models efficiently, but standard low-rank adapters use a fixed subspace for all inputs, which can be restrictive when domains differ in style, background, and semantic conte...
