License plate character detection is a crucial component of intelligent transportation systems, where high accuracy and computational efficiency are required for real-time deployment. Although recent deep learning-based methods have substantially improved detection performance, many high-accuracy models rely on large-scale architectures that incur substantial computational overhead, limiting their applicability to resource-constrained devices.
Introduce a MinHash-based similarity scheduling framework that constructs a progressive curriculum over neural architecture code for LLM-based neural architecture search (NAS). Using 128-permutation MinHash signatures over normalised 7-gram source code shingles, we partition the reference pool into similarity bands and present them in increasing architectural heterogeneity, with the best LoRA adapter from each stage merged cumulatively into the backbone.

Face super-resolution is the task of increasing the resolution of an image containing a face thereby adding finer detail. It is a ubiquitous task in many computer vision applications and quite often the user isn't even aware that it is being performed.
Precise Event Spotting (PES) requires distinguishing visually similar yet semantically distinct adjacent frames, making it fundamentally different from image classification and coarse action recognition. Although self-distillation methods such as DINO have shown strong representation learning ability in images, we find that directly applying them to PES is ineffective: without supervised guidance, subtle but crucial motion cues are often suppressed as noise, leading to representations that are insensitive to precise event boundaries.
Medical image classification models are ideally expected to identify diagnostically relevant regions while making predictions, yet standard classification losses rarely provide spatial supervision. Explicit supervision via anatomical shape information, such as segmentation masks of task-relevant anatomy, has been shown to guide the network toward regions relevant to the target prediction.
3D scene graphs provide a hierarchical abstraction of environments by encoding spatial entities, such as objects and places, and their relationships. However, existing scene graph systems model object geometry coarsely, relying on partial point clouds or class-level CAD templates, which limits instance-specific shape detail.
We present a novel integrated architecture for robust online 3D Gaussian splatting, real-time VR exploration, and speech-driven Vision-Language-Model interaction. Unlike methods assuming clean depth or external poses, our system combines ORB-SLAM3-based pose estimation with online Gaussian reconstruction for noisy real-world data.
