TNLearn: An Open Source Python Package for Task-based Neurons

The paper introduces TNLearn, an open‑source Python package that automates the construction and training of task‑based neurons and networks. It argues that different tasks benefit from customized neurons that incorporate task‑specific prior knowledge, representing a shift from traditional task‑based architectures. The package, documented with technical exposition, API reference, and examples, is available on GitHub and integrated into the PyTorch ecosystem.

Hypersolid: Emergent Vision Representations via Short-Range Repulsion

The paper introduces Hypersolid, a self‑supervised learning objective that uses short‑range repulsion to prevent representation collapse. It combines view alignment with local collision avoidance, creating a latent geometry of compact, semantically aligned neighborhoods with low anisotropy. This geometry improves unsupervised clustering and fine‑grained separation, though it reduces transferability.
