After a Decade: Bringing Shadow Removal into the Real World with Agentic Training Data

The paper introduces AgenticShadow, a new dataset of 17,138 image‑mask‑target triplets created through an offline agentic workflow that combines physics‑motivated generation, failure detection, feedback‑driven retry, candidate selection, and deterministic correction. This approach addresses the long‑standing lack of diverse paired shadow‑free training data by leveraging existing shadow detection datasets and producing realistic shadow‑free targets. Models trained on AgenticShadow show significant improvements, reducing color distribution differences by 50.5% and cross‑domain LAB RMSE by 19.7‑37.5% compared to prior work.

FlashAR: Efficient Post-Training Acceleration for Autoregressive Image Generation

FlashAR is a lightweight post‑training adaptation framework that converts a pre‑trained raster‑scan autoregressive image model into a highly parallel generator using two‑way next‑token prediction. It preserves the original training objective by keeping the horizontal head for row‑wise prediction and adding a lightweight vertical head for column‑wise prediction, with a learnable fusion gate to combine the two predictions. A two‑stage adaptation pipeline—first initializing the vertical head from the pre‑trained model and then jointly fine‑tuning—yields up to a 22.9× speedup for 512×512 image generation while using only 0.05% of the original training data.

CrossMambaTuning: Synergistic Spatial and Cross-Layer Adaptation for Machine Vision Compression

CrossMambaTuning is a new framework that adapts pretrained learned image compression models to machine vision tasks with minimal retraining. It combines State Space Models with cross‑layer interaction, featuring a Mamba adapter that uses task‑specific prompts and multi‑scale branching, and a Scale‑Invariant Cross‑Layer Adapter (SICA) that shares parameters across scales to reduce redundancy. Experiments show that this approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance while cutting parameter overhead by 72% compared to existing methods.
