Self-Supervised Tree-level Biomass Estimation in Urban Environments From Airborne LiDAR and Optical Observations

arXiv:2606. 26194v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Urban tree biomass remains less spatially explicitly quantified than biomass in managed forests because many estimates rely on inventories or coarse products that cannot resolve individual crowns or fine-scale heterogeneity.

Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) for aerodynamic prediction: a comparison with MLPs and GNNs

arXiv:2606. 27126v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) have recently been introduced as a (deep) neural network architecture whose trainable parameters adapt the activation functions, instead of the coefficients of the affine transformations at the core of traditional architectures such as deep multilayer perceptrons (MLPs).

Tractography-Driven Synthetic Data Generation for Fiber Bundle Segmentation in Tracer Histology

arXiv:2606. 26898v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion MRI (dMRI) tractography enables non-invasive reconstruction of white-matter pathways, but its accuracy is fundamentally limited by indirect, low-resolution measurements of axonal organization.

Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) for aerodynamic prediction: a comparison with MLPs and GNNs

Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) have recently been introduced as a (deep) neural network architecture whose trainable parameters adapt the activation functions, instead of the coefficients of the affine transformations at the core of traditional architectures such as deep multilayer perceptrons (MLPs). This architecture builds on the Kolmogorov-Arnold theorem, which endows it with universal approximation properties.

Temporally Consistent Label Interpolation for Robust Surgical Multi-Task Learning under Challenging Conditions

Effective multi-task learning for surgical scene understanding is fundamentally hindered by annotation granularity mismatch; temporal workflow tasks such as phase recognition, step recognition and anticipation benefit from dense frame-level supervision, whereas pixel-level spatial tasks including instrument segmentation and action recognition are only sparsely annotated on selected keyframes due to prohibitive labeling costs. This supervision imbalance undermines shared representation learning and limits joint optimization across heterogeneous surgical tasks.

Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning for Neural Network Compression (HiReLC): Pruning and Quantization

arXiv:2606. 26002v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present HiReLC, a hierarchical ensemble-reinforcement learning framework for automated joint quantization and structured pruning of deep neural networks.

WinDOM: Self-Family Distillation for Small-Model GUI Grounding

arXiv:2606. 25964v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Small ($\sim$2B) GUI-grounding agents are attractive for on-device deployment, accessibility tooling, and low-cost iteration, but at this scale they face two open recipe questions: how to obtain bounding-box training data without expensive human annotation, and how to combine supervised fine-tuning with reinforcement learning.
