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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Scaling Up Thermodynamic AI Models

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. Prior theory shows that the time-averaged behavior of high-temperature Gibbs-sampled Ising systems can implement feed-forward neural inference.

An Agentic AI Framework to Accelerate Scientific Discovery in Plant Phenotyping

High-throughput plant phenotyping now generates image derived datasets far faster than scientists can analyze them. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Advanced Plant Phenotyping Laboratory (APPL), automated stations image hundreds of plants daily across multiple remote sensing modalities; yet, trait extraction and interpretation remain manual, expert-bound, and strictly post-hoc, making analysis, not acquisition, the binding constraint on discovery.

Self-Supervised Temporal Regularization for Landmark-Based Cardiac Segmentation with Automatic AHA Regional Mapping

Graph-based cardiac segmentation with implicit anatomical correspondences provides topological guarantees and population-level analysis capabilities, but models trained on independent frames of image sequences exhibit temporal discontinuities that affect reliable clinical measurements, particularly in cardiac ultrasound. In this work, we introduce self-supervised temporal regularization as a post-training refinement stage that exploits the temporal coherence in image sequences to enforce consistent cardiac segmentation and motion estimation over time, without requiring per-frame annotations.

CADS: Conformal Adaptive Decision System for Cost-Efficient Image Classification

arXiv:2605. 16401v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While high-capacity AI models have advanced state-of-the-art performance, their practical deployment is often hindered by high inference costs, environmental impact, and a "one-size-fits-all" approach that ignores varying sample complexity.
