arXiv:2603. 12055v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Continual learning of pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) is prone to catastrophic forgetting, yet current approaches adapt to new tasks without explicitly preserving the cross-modal semantic geometry inherited from pretraining and previous stages, allowing new-task supervision to induce geometric distortion.

Visual foundation models are commonly adapted under the assumption that the appearance of incoming data may change while the semantic meaning of the prediction task remains fixed. In long-lived visual...
Background-Free Objectness Learning (B-FOR) is a dense, class‑agnostic detection framework that learns objectness without treating unlabeled regions as background. It predicts multi‑scale object‑center and scale fields, using spatially structured soft targets to supervise only reliable annotated areas and introduces displacement‑aware scale fields to model object extent. Experiments on PASCAL VOC, MS‑COCO, and Open Images show B‑FOR improves recall by over +10 AR points compared to prior class‑agnostic baselines, with ablation studies confirming the importance of localized supervision and displacement‑aware scaling.

The paper introduces Semantic Localization-Enhanced Teacher (SLE‑T), a knowledge‑distillation framework that aligns spatial‑scale and semantic features between a Vision Foundation Model (VFM) teacher and a student detector for cross‑domain object detection. SLE‑T employs a lightweight SLE Adapter that injects pretrained local‑texture priors into DINOv2 and reformulates its features into dense, spatially and semantically compatible representations, enabling effective pseudo‑label learning or feature alignment. Experiments on three domain‑adaptive object detection benchmarks show that SLE‑T with DINOv2‑B achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance while using only a quarter of the training time and less GPU memory compared to the larger DINOv2‑G teacher.
Open-world object detection (OWOD) requires a detector to recognize known categories, discover unnamed objects from unseen categories, and incrementally learn newly annotated classes. PROB improves unknown discovery by modeling class-agnostic probabilistic objectness in the decoder-query space.
arXiv:2605. 07821v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is crucial for ensuring the reliability of deep learning models.
The paper introduces Structured Prior Knowledge (SPK), a framework that extracts and organizes latent priors from pretrained object detectors to improve out-of-distribution (OoD) detection. SPK uses in-distribution data and hallucination-inducing samples to elicit part-level semantic concepts, then combines these with geometric and contextual priors into a compact five-dimensional representation. Experiments across various detector architectures and OoD benchmarks show that SPK achieves state-of-the-art performance, demonstrating that pretrained detectors encode richer latent knowledge than previously exploited.
