The paper introduces Recursive Block-Diagonal Coupling (RBDC), a training protocol that builds wide vision models by recursively coupling narrower, independently trained models in a parameter‑free block‑diagonal manner. RBDC allows flexible allocation of training budgets across all models and, when applied to vision transformers (DeiT) and convolutional networks (ResNet) on ImageNet, achieves a 30% reduction in FLOPs while maintaining similar test accuracies. Additionally, models trained with RBDC outperform those from existing growth methods at the same training FLOPs and serve as stronger backbones for downstream tasks such as object detection and instance segmentation.
The paper investigates the use of Zero Cost Proxies (ZCPs) to identify high‑performing wearable Human Activity Recognition (HAR) models without full training. Eight ZCPs were evaluated across six benchmark HAR datasets, showing that the top‑predicted architectures achieve performance within 7% of fully trained models, and training the top‑10 predictions reaches within 2% of full training. This demonstrates that ZCPs can significantly reduce computational costs while maintaining competitive accuracy in sensor‑based HAR tasks.
Visual Perception Engine (VPEngine) is a modular framework that enables efficient GPU usage for robotic vision tasks by sharing a foundation model backbone across multiple specialized task heads. It eliminates redundant feature extraction, supports dynamic task prioritization, and achieves up to 3× speedup over sequential execution. The open‑source Python implementation, with ROS2 C++ bindings, delivers real‑time performance (≥50 Hz) on NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX using TensorRT‑optimized models.
