AVIOT: Compress video tokens without losing visual information
VideoLM token compression via optimal transport aggregates visual information across frames while reducing representational redundancy. Directly addresses the bottleneck of dense visual-token sequences in production video understanding pipelines.
Read more →Spatial context beats appearance for disaster building damage assessment
Graph attention networks leverage spatial relationships between buildings for damage classification, accounting for disaster-specific clustering patterns. Practical for deployed damage assessment systems where standard per-image approaches fail.
Read more →Test-time prostate anatomy adaptation beats domain shift in ultrasound
Learning anatomical structure at inference time solves cross-center domain shift in prostate cancer detection better than appearance-only adaptation. Critical for medical imaging deployments facing hardware and protocol variation.
