Watch two people shake hands at a reception while a third pours a drink nearby, and your eye never loses track of whose hand is whose. A detector does. Most hand detectors find hands one at a time as separate…
Hand Object: One Query That Links Both Hands to a Person Read More »
Most machine learning arguments are about the model. This one is about the starting line. A team at the University of Southern California took a leading system for completing uncertain knowledge graphs, changed nothing about how it scores facts, and…
QUEST Fixes Where Uncertain Knowledge Graph Models Start Read More »
A self driving car has to do two things at the same time. It has to see the vehicles around it, and it has to guess where they will go. Most systems split those jobs across separate modules, which quietly…
MC-DeTra Sharpens Driving Forecasts at No Inference Cost Read More »
Splitting an image into meaningful regions can come down to a surprisingly old trick, picking a few brightness cutoffs and sorting every pixel into the band it falls in. It works well until you want more than a couple of…
MAAPO Optimizes Image Thresholds With Membrane Computing Read More »
Teaching a model to outline a skin lesion or a polyp usually means paying experts to trace thousands of images by hand, which is slow and expensive. The obvious shortcut is to label a few and let the model learn…
SAUF-Net Separates Lesion Shape From Its Appearance Read More »
Designing a protein from scratch on a computer is now routine for small ones. Ask for a large protein, past about 400 amino acids, and the leading generators start to buckle, both because their math scales badly and because each…
Salad Designs Large Proteins Fast With Sparse Denoising Read More »
A coding agent writes the pull request and an engineer reviews it. A model flags the nodule and a radiologist signs the report. In both cases the team ships something, and in both cases a quietly important question goes unanswered.…
How to Test If a Human AI Team Beats Working Alone Read More »
Every time you eliminate a vertex from a graph, its neighbours collapse into a dense little cluster where none may have existed before. Do that thousands of times, as any direct solver for a large sparse system must, and the…
CAST Speeds Up Approximate Cholesky on Graphs Read More »
Teaching a computer to carve an image into its objects, every person, every car, every patch of sky, has always meant paying people to trace those outlines by hand. The best tool for the job, Segment Anything, was trained on…
Diffuse2Seg: How Diffusion Models Segment Images Without Labels Read More »
A haematologist bent over a microscope is doing something quietly heroic. From a smear of blood, they pick out the one cell in a thousand that looks wrong, the immature blast that can be the first sign of leukaemia, and…
