Leveraging Multimodality for Real-Time Classification of Transients and Variables found by the Zwicky Transient Facility

arXiv:2607. 00228v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern time-domain surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) generate hundreds of thousands of alerts each night, making real-time decisions for follow-up observations a central challenge in time-domain astronomy.

Mixture of Distributions Matters: Dynamic Sparse Attention for Efficient Video Diffusion Transformers

arXiv:2601. 11641v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have achieved notable progress in video generation, this long-sequence generation task remains constrained by the quadratic complexity inherent to self-attention mechanisms, creating significant barriers to practical deployment.

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.
