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.

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.
