ViTAMINS is a method that incorporates synthetic hard negatives into unsupervised vision transformer pretraining to enhance representation quality. The approach is evaluated on ImageNet and a range of downstream tasks—including transfer learning, image retrieval, copy detection, and image/video segmentation—showing significant performance gains. The synthetic negatives also lead to emergent properties, such as representations that encode explicit semantic information and act as strong classifiers, improving over baselines by up to 11.3%.
StateSight is a new benchmark designed to isolate and evaluate the ability of vision‑language models to reconstruct latent spatial structure from a single image. It consists of three procedurally generated task families—cube‑net opposite‑face reasoning, occluded cube‑tower counting, and 4‑neighbor connected‑component counting—each with 300 deterministic prompts and exact‑match scoring. The benchmark also includes a companion dataset, StateSight‑Steps, with 900 image‑text examples and 3,600 intermediate visual states to aid analysis of reconstruction errors.

OptiModNet is a lightweight UNet‑Transformer hybrid designed for optic disc and cup segmentation. It incorporates grouped‑query and channel attention across multiple stages, along with an Aggregated Pyramid Loss to improve gradient flow and structural consistency. Evaluated on the REFUGE2 dataset, it surpasses existing methods by over 2.5 % while using only 3.73 GFLOPs and 1.93 M parameters.
Machine unlearning aims to remove the influence of specific training data while preserving model utility. Many state-of-the-art approaches pursue this goal by restricting the forgetting update to a subset of parameters selected through gradient-based saliency.
