arXiv:2603. 12478v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal instruction tuning is often compute-inefficient because training budgets are spread across large mixed image-video pools whose utility is highly uneven.

Use this plain-text version for the arXiv abstract field: Learned image compression (LIC) models achieve strong rate-distortion performance but are hindered by high computational complexity and encoding-decoding mismatches across heterogeneous hardware platforms. Uniform fixed-precision quantization alleviates these issues but suffers severe quality degradation at low bit widths because it ignores differences in the quantization sensitivities of individual layers.
This paper presents an energy-efficient hardware acceleration of the convolutional layers in the U-Net architecture for image segmentation, implemented on FPGA. While digit-serial arithmetic, particularly most-significant-digit-first (MSDF) techniques, offers a compact hardware footprint, it suffers from initial latency before producing the first output digit.

arXiv:2608. 11770v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Edge-deployed vision systems in target recognition, surveillance, autonomous vehicles, and drone domains require hierarchical inference pipelines where a detection model identifies objects of interest and downstream classifiers provide fine-grained attribute analysis.

arXiv:2607. 10098v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern satellite edge systems, including those performing remote sensing tasks such object detection and tracking, are characterized by severely limited bandwidth and intermittent connections, making continuous data transmission to the cloud impractical.

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' released checkpoint alongside our re-implementation, and conduct additional architectural ablations to examine design choices that were not fully justified in the original work.
