ForAug: Mitigating Biases in Image Classification via Controlled Image Compositions

arXiv:2503. 09399v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large-scale image classification datasets exhibit strong compositional biases: objects tend to be centered, appear at characteristic scales, and co-occur with class-specific context.

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.

Pre-Warm: Input-Conditioned Weight Initialization for Convolutional Neural Networks

We introduce Pre-Warm, a simple yet effective zero-training-cost method for data-conditioned initialization of the first convolutional layer. Before the first forward pass, Pre-Warm extracts mean-centered local patches from a single training batch, clusters them with MiniBatchKMeans, applies inverse Manhattan spatial weighting, and uses the resulting centroids to initialize half of the first-layer filters (the remainder retain Kaiming initialization).

Simple Domain Generalization for Strong Pixel-Level Image Tampering Detection in Modern VLMs

arXiv:2607. 18230v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern vision-language models (VLMs) have significantly improved image generation and editing capabilities, making pixel-level image tampering detection increasingly important yet challenging under cross-model and out-of-distribution shifts.
