Real-Time Source-Free Object Detection

arXiv:2606. 31834v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world detectors for autonomous driving, surveillance, and robotics must handle domain-shifts under strict latency and memory constraints, yet existing source-free object detection (SFOD) methods rely on heavyweight architectures that prioritize accuracy alone.

Temporal Preservation over Processing: Diagnosing and Designing Spatiotemporal Single-Stage Video Detectors

arXiv:2606. 31421v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Single-stage video object detectors are increasingly deployed in time-critical applications, yet it remains unclear whether these models genuinely reason over temporal context or merely exploit a single informative frame-a gap hidden by standard metrics, which reward correct predictions regardless of how they are reached.

Quantitative Movement Testing: Measuring Chronic Pain Patient Movements from a Single Smartphone Video

arXiv:2606. 02301v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Chronic pain diminishes quality of life by decreasing functional ability, yet objectively measuring this functional impact remains challenging in real-world settings.

Freeform Preference Learning for Robotic Manipulation

arXiv:2606. 32027v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reward design remains a central bottleneck for autonomous robot policy improvement, especially in long-horizon manipulation tasks where sparse success labels provide too little signal and binary preferences collapse many competing notions of quality into one ambiguous signal.

Zero-Shot Quantization for Object Detectors using Off-the-Shelf Generative Models

arXiv:2606. 31456v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With an increasing number of Object Detection (OD) models being deployed on edge devices, Zero-Shot Quantization for OD (ZSQ-OD) aims to quantize these models when access to the original training data is prohibited.

Collaborative Knowledge Distillation via a Learning-by-Education Node Community

arXiv:2410. 00074v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A novel Learning-by-Education Node Community framework (LENC) for Collaborative Knowledge Distillation (CKD) is presented, which facilitates continual collective learning through effective knowledge exchanges among diverse deployed Deep Neural Network (DNN) peer nodes.

FlexViT: A Flexible FPGA-based Accelerator for Edge Vision Transformers

arXiv:2606. 31938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying Vision Transformer (ViT) models on edge platforms remains challenging due to their high computational demands and the architectural heterogeneity of modern hybrid ViT models, which incorporate both fully connected and convolutional layers.
