Turning spectra into images improves plant trait retrieval with 2D-CNNs

Hyperspectral reflectance spectroscopy enables non-destructive estimation of plant functional traits, yet current deep learning approaches process spectra as one-dimensional sequences, which limits how they capture long-range inter-band dependencies. We asked whether transforming 1D spectra into 2D image representations improves multi-trait prediction with convolutional neural networks (CNN).

Ultra: Unsupervised Cross-Task Optimization for Reliable Restoration Segmentation Collaboration under Adverse Weather

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Adverse Weather Semantic Segmentation (UDA-ASS) aims to transfer semantic knowledge from labeled normal-weather images to unlabeled adverse environments. Existing approaches implicitly assume that restoration and segmentation provide mutually beneficial guidance.

SQuad: Sub-Quadratic Attention Distillation for Efficient Video Generation

Video Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) spend most of their compute inside the Self-Attention operation, whose cost grows quadratically, $\mathcal{O}(n^2)$, with the number of latent tokens $n$. For the task of video generation, the token count is large, so this term dominates runtime and memory, and thereby caps the resolution and duration we can generate.

TransAnyText: Translating Arbitrary Text in E-commerce Images via Structured Visual Generation

Cross-border e-commerce image translation is essential for global retail, where product images, banners, and detail pages need to be produced in different languages. Existing methods struggle to achieve accurate translation, faithful visual identity preservation, and easy-to-edit outputs, simultaneously.

Multi-Feature Riemannian Hypergraph for Online Test-Time Adaptation of Motor Imagery Brain-Computer Interface

In clinical motor imagery brain-computer interface (MI-BCI) decoding, cross-day transferability and online operation remain two critical challenges. Hypergraphs can improve transferability by capturing higher-order sample relationships, yet existing hypergraph-based methods for online emotion recognition neglect the cross-day benefits of Riemannian geometry widely adopted in EEG transfer learning.
