The paper investigates patch‑wise supervision for detecting AI‑generated images, proposing a shared backbone that classifies explicit crops with individual losses and averages patch probabilities only during inference. This approach eliminates the need for handcrafted residual filtering or learned image‑level fusion modules. Experiments across single‑patch selection, multiple generator collections, and four CNN and Transformer backbones show that patch‑wise variants outperform whole‑image counterparts on the GenImage dataset, while also exploring factors such as supervision granularity, source resolution, crop size, and inference coverage.

RankGround is a two‑stage framework for GUI grounding that uses a single Vision‑Language Model call per query. It introduces GroundRanker, a lightweight multimodal reranker that selects the most promising crop from a dense candidate set, trained with a two‑stage curriculum on ranking supervision data derived from existing grounding datasets. Experiments show RankGround outperforms strong baselines, achieving 1.4× faster inference and a 5.5% average improvement in localization accuracy over the second‑best method across all backbones and screen scales.

Image cropping aims to improve image aesthetics by preserving important content within an appropriately composed region. However, most existing methods focus primarily on salient regions and therefore have limited sensitivity to the global relationships among the main image components.

ProgResViT is an input‑adaptive Vision Transformer that processes images progressively across multiple rounds, starting with a low‑resolution image and a narrow subnetwork and refining the prediction with higher resolution and a wider subnetwork if needed. The method introduces Progress‑Conditioned Soft Gating (PSG) to share a single backbone across rounds while conditioning token fusion and layer outputs on the current round, block, and input resolution. Experiments on DeiT show improved accuracy‑compute trade‑offs compared to adaptive‑width, adaptive‑depth, and dynamic‑token baselines, and the design also benefits self‑supervised DINO representations and downstream semantic segmentation.
