FLEET is a token‑based feature extractor that processes event camera data directly, using random Fourier features and cross‑attention to compress variable‑length event streams into fixed‑size latent representations. By decoupling inference cost from sensor resolution, it avoids the high compute and temporal blurring associated with CNN‑based grid aggregation. Experiments on a new high‑throughput benchmark show that FLEET outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods and remains robust across different observation frequencies.

The paper introduces Spatially‑Sparse Linear Attention (SSLA), a novel attention mechanism that activates only a sparse subset of spatial states, enabling efficient parallel training and inference for event‑based vision. Building on SSLA, the authors present SSLA‑Det, an end‑to‑end asynchronous linear attention model that achieves state‑of‑the‑art accuracy on Gen1 and N‑Caltech101 while reducing per‑event computation by more than 20× compared to the strongest prior asynchronous baseline.

LookThere! Sparse Vision by Reinforced Selection proposes an end‑to‑end reinforcement learning framework that jointly trains a shallow input selector and a deep representation extractor for vision transformers. The selector learns where to focus and the extractor learns what to process, enabling the model to use only a tiny fraction of the input tokens—down to 0.2%—while preserving accuracy. The method outperforms existing selection techniques across diverse tasks and models, including high‑resolution recognition, segmentation, zero‑shot classification, and regression, establishing a new Pareto frontier in performance‑compute trade‑offs.

PointEvent introduces serialized motion evidence accumulation for event-based tiny object detection, treating motion continuity as an ordered evidence propagation process. The method organizes event streams into locality‑preserving spatiotemporal paths and chronology‑preserving temporal paths, alternating serialized scans across complementary orders to consolidate fragmented motion evidence. A lightweight event‑wise state‑space framework with a high‑resolution event branch and compact context modulation achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance with the fewest parameters and fastest inference among compared methods.

The paper introduces a confidence‑normalized continuous multi‑timescale representation for event cameras, using logarithmic B‑spline temporal encoding and a geometry‑aware local confidence mechanism. When paired with a fixed feed‑forward EventCenterNet detector, this representation outperforms the compact CSTR representation on the PEDRo and Gen1 datasets. Additionally, a recursive exponential‑polynomial approximation is proposed to allow efficient event‑by‑event updates while maintaining detection performance.

ShallowStream is a framework for streaming video understanding that uses the shallow layers of a multimodal large language model (MLLM) to encode frames and build a lightweight index. During streaming, it maintains an always‑on index via the KV cache of shallow layers, and at query time it scores context frames using shallow‑layer attention and selects diverse evidence for answering. The approach matches the performance of leading streaming methods while cutting per‑frame prefill latency and 10‑second end‑to‑end latency by up to 52.1× and 11.9×, respectively.

Image-goal visual navigation is a fundamental capability for embodied agents. Existing navigation policies efficiently predict waypoint trajectories but lack visual foresight, while navigation world models can anticipate future observations but often require costly planning rollouts.
The paper introduces sLoTh, a parameter‑efficient continual learning framework for sparse event‑based vision transformers. sLoTh freezes the backbone and limits plasticity to low‑rank attention updates (seLoRA) and shared neuronal threshold modulation, updating less than 1% of parameters without replay buffers. Experiments on CIFAR‑100, Tiny‑ImageNet, ImageNet‑100, and ImageNet‑R show competitive rehearsal‑free performance across up to 100 tasks while achieving roughly 6.5× lower energy consumption than dense vision transformers.
