Research & Papers
Integer-only inference for lightweight detection transformers unlocked
New quantization method enables fully integer arithmetic in Vision Transformer detectors, eliminating float operations in deformable attention, feature fusion, and activations. Critical for deploying detection models on NPUs and microcontrollers where practitioners actually run inference.
Read more →Track-leakage-free validation protocol for photogrammetric 3D reconstruction
Formalizes hold-out validation for photogrammetry that prevents data leakage at track level, enabling reconstructions to self-assess reliability without ground truth. Essential for practitioners building automated inspection pipelines who need trustworthy quality metrics in production.
Read more →Active learning and semi-supervised learning unified for medical segmentation
Combines AL and SSL strategies to handle ultra-low annotation regimes in medical imaging, letting practitioners simultaneously select which cases to label and leverage unlabeled data. Directly addresses the annotation bottleneck in clinical CV deployments.
