LUMA: Benchmarking Segmentation via a Lightweight Universal Mask Adapter

arXiv:2607. 00687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Comparing transformer backbones for image segmentation is confounded: each is paired with a different decoder, recipe, and pretraining, so reported differences rarely reflect the backbone itself.

Reading Order Inference for Complex Document Layouts

arXiv:2607. 01018v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reading order inference remains a critical bottleneck in the digitization of complex historical manuscripts, where pages contain multiple spatially interleaved reading streams, the canonical example being the Glossa Ordinaria layout, in which a central text is surrounded by commentaries that wrap around it in non-rectangular, non-convex regions.

Controllable Diffusion-Based Lesion Inpainting for Scalable Histopathology Data Augmentation

arXiv:2601. 08127v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Expert-annotated training data remains the critical bottleneck for AI in histopathology, particularly for rare pathologies where even dozens of cases may be unavailable.

Active Learning for Cascaded Object Detection: Balancing Coverage and Uncertainty in Table Extraction Pipelines

arXiv:2607. 00747v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Table extraction from business documents relies on a cascaded pipeline where Table Detection (TD) first localizes tables and Table Structure Recognition (TSR) then recovers their internal layout.

Computer vision-based neural networks for radioisotope identification in urban environments

arXiv:2607. 00270v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Algorithm development for radioisotope identification in mobile urban search scenarios face significant challenges from non-uniform backgrounds, momentary source encounters, and severe class imbalance between rare threat signatures and background measurements.

Scaling Up Thermodynamic AI Models

arXiv:2607. 00170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Thermodynamic computing devices based on the Ising model show great promise for low-power AI inference and edge computing, but scalable methods for training large models for such hardware remain limited.

MalariAI: A Label-Resilient Decoupled Framework for Universal Cell Segmentation and Explainable Stage Classification in Dense Malaria Blood Smears

arXiv:2607. 00385v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated malaria diagnosis from blood smear microscopy is a critical challenge in global health AI; in resource-limited settings, the scarcity of expert microscopists remains the primary bottleneck to timely and accurate diagnosis.

Foundation Models vs. Radiomics for Lung Computed Tomography: A Benchmark of Feature Extractors, Classification Heads, and Segmentation Choices

arXiv:2607. 01001v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radiomics is the established approach for CT-based lung cancer phenotyping, yet comparisons with foundation models rarely isolate contributions of feature extractor, classification head, and segmentation choice, or test cross-cohort robustness.

Online Segment 3D Gaussians via Launching Virtual Drones

Interactive segmentation of 3D Gaussians offers a compelling opportunity for real-time manipulation of 3D scenes, thanks to the real-time rendering capability of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). However, existing methods require a time-consuming per-scene setup - typically tens of seconds or even minutes - before interactive segmentation can begin on a raw 3DGS scene.
