Image Generators are Generalist Vision Learners

arXiv:2604. 20329v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent works show that image and video generators exhibit zero-shot visual understanding behaviors, in a way reminiscent of how LLMs develop emergent capabilities of language understanding and reasoning from generative pretraining.

Towards Generalization of Block Attention via Automatic Segmentation and Block Distillation

arXiv:2605. 15913v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Block attention, which processes the input as separate blocks that cannot attend to one another, offers significant potential to improve KV cache reuse in long-context scenarios such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

Is Diversity All You Need for Scalable Robotic Manipulation?

arXiv:2507. 06219v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Data scaling has driven remarkable success in foundation models for Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV), yet the principles of effective data scaling in robotic manipulation remain insufficiently understood.

On the training of physics-informed neural operators for solving parametric partial differential equations

arXiv:2606. 06164v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed neural operators (PINOs) aim to learn solution operators for partial differential equations by using the governing physics as supervision, rather than relying solely on paired input-output simulation data.

Comparison of Deep Learning Frameworks For Rice Disease Mapping From UAV Multispectral Imaging

In this study, UAV multispectral imagery is used to segment the severity of bacterial leaf blight (BLB) in rice using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformer-based models. The evaluated architectures include U-Net with a ResNet- 101 encoder, U-Net++ with EfficientNet-B3 and EfficientNetB7, DeepLabV3+, and SegFormer, all trained under a common pipeline with three input configurations (multispectral only, multispectral+NDVI, and multispectral+NDRE).

On the training of physics-informed neural operators for solving parametric partial differential equations

Physics-informed neural operators (PINOs) aim to learn solution operators for partial differential equations by using the governing physics as supervision, rather than relying solely on paired input-output simulation data. By incorporating physical constraints into the training objective, PINOs combine the cross-instance generalization of neural operators with the data efficiency of physics-informed learning.

MS-DKC: A Dataset Knowledge Card Framework for Designing and Adapting Medical Image Segmentation Models

Medical image segmentation is often framed as a search for stronger architectures, but this can obscure a more fundamental question: what does the dataset require from the model? In medical imaging, this requirement is shaped by foreground occupancy, morphology, boundary ambiguity, topology sensitivity, annotation quality, acquisition variation, and operating point.

OA-CutMix: Correcting the Label Bias of CutMix

arXiv:2606. 04820v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: CutMix has become the de facto standard mixing augmentation, yet its label assignment rests on a flawed assumption: The area of the pasted patch faithfully reflects its semantic contribution to the mixed image.
