OA-CutMix: Correcting the Label Bias of CutMix

arXiv:2606. 04820v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: CutMix has become the de facto standard mixing augmentation, yet its label assignment rests on a flawed assumption: The area of the pasted patch faithfully reflects its semantic contribution to the mixed image.

ActiveSAM: Image-Conditional Class Pruning for Fast and Accurate Open-Vocabulary Segmentation

arXiv:2606. 16996v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM 3) provides a strong frozen backbone for concept-prompted segmentation, but applying it directly to open-vocabulary semantic segmentation (OVSS) is inefficient: full-resolution decoding is typically run over the entire dataset vocabulary, whereas each image contains only a small active subset of classes.

LUMA: Benchmarking Segmentation via a Lightweight Universal Mask Adapter

arXiv:2607. 00687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Comparing transformer backbones for image segmentation is confounded: each is paired with a different decoder, recipe, and pretraining, so reported differences rarely reflect the backbone itself.

Object-centric LeJEPA

arXiv:2607. 02404v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image encoders trained with LeJEPA can deliver strong features for downstream tasks, but, like other image-level self-supervised methods, typically require large training datasets.

AdaDINO: Context-Adaptive DINO-Distilled Vision Foundation Models for Efficient Open-Vocabulary Edge Inference

arXiv:2604. 15622v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Always-on contextual AI runs language-aligned vision foundation models (VFMs) on edge devices, where the on-device model is the dominant continuous compute cost under strict latency and power limits.
