WAT3R: Feedforward Underwater 3D Reconstruction

Reliable feedforward underwater 3D reconstruction remains challenging due to severe light attenuation and backscattering, which degrade visual quality and disrupt feature consistency across views, leading to inaccurate multi-view geometry. To address this issue, we propose WAT3R, a feed-forward framework for reconstructing 3D scenes directly from underwater images.

Latent Variable-Mediated Cross-Learning for Few-Shot Acoustic Impedance Imaging

Acoustic impedance imaging is a fundamental yet severely ill-posed problem in subsurface analysis: the seismic wavelet is unknown, observations are band-limited, and labeled well-log samples are extremely scarce (typically <1% of all traces). Existing semi-supervised deep learning methods mitigate few-shot problem by incorporating forward modeling, yet they either rely on inaccurate prior wavelet assumptions or introduce auxiliary networks, leading to unstable optimization and degraded performance.

Distribution-Alignment Bridge for Uncertainty-Aware Text-to-Video Retrieval

This paper proposes the Distribution-Alignment Bridge (DAB), a framework that reconceptualizes text-to-video retrieval as a distribution alignment task rather than traditional deterministic point matching. By modeling both text and video embeddings as Gaussian distributions defined by mean and variance, DAB explicitly accounts for modality-specific uncertainty.

Beyond Independent Optimization: Compression, MoE Routing, and Quantization Interactions in Multimodal Edge Intelligence

Efficient multimodal inference is increasingly constrained not only by model quality or FLOP count, but also by the cost of preserving, moving, routing, caching, and quantizing multimodal representations under latency, memory, and energy constraints. This paper reviews recent advances in efficient vision-language and multimodal large language models, covering visual token compression, video token management, KV-cache optimization, Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routing, low-bit quantization, edge deployment, and hardware-aware benchmarking.

Three-Pronged Spectral Control for Federated Parameter Efficient Fine Tuning

Federated parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) enables communication-efficient adaptation of large pretrained models on decentralized edge data, but it remains fragile under non-IID client heterogeneity. In low-rank adaptation (LoRA), different clients may learn locally useful but spectrally misaligned update subspaces, causing high-variance aggregation and poor global transfer.

Multi-turn RL with Structural and Performance Aware Rewards for CUDA Kernel Generation

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a powerful technique to enhance the reasoning capacity of LLMs for optimized code generation. However, existing RLVR approaches primarily rely on outcome-based signals such as correctness and speedup, overlooking performance-critical structural properties of programs that are essential for generating optimized code.

SynPre-FL: Synthetic data-driven pretraining integrated Federated Learning training framework

arXiv:2607. 19524v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated learning (FL) offers a promising approach to privacy-preserving clinical risk prediction, but its deployment remains limited by restricted data sharing, client heterogeneity, class imbalance, and the lack of realistic tabular electronic health record (EHR) benchmarks.
