HIERAMP: Coarse-to-Fine Autoregressive Amplification for Generative Dataset Distillation

This paper proposes HIERAMP, a method that leverages the coarse-to-fine generation capability of Vision Autoregressive (VAR) models to amplify hierarchical semantics through dynamic class token injection, thereby improving dataset distillation performance by better capturing object structures and details without explicitly optimizing global proximity.

Extracting and analyzing 3D histomorphometric features related to perineural and lymphovascular invasion in prostate cancer

This study presents a 3D histomorphometric analysis pipeline using nnU-Net segmentation on optically cleared prostatectomy specimens to extract features related to perineural and lymphovascular invasion, demonstrating that 3D perineural invasion features significantly outperform their 2D counterparts in predicting 5-year biochemical recurrence in prostate cancer.

Virtual Intraoperative CT (viCT): Sequential Anatomic Updates for Modeling Tissue Resection Throughout Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

This paper introduces Virtual Intraoperative CT (viCT), a method that sequentially updates preoperative CT scans during endoscopic sinus surgery by integrating monocular endoscopic video-derived 3D reconstructions to visualize evolving tissue resection boundaries with submillimeter accuracy, thereby addressing the limitations of static image guidance.

Conditional Unbalanced Optimal Transport Maps: An Outlier-Robust Framework for Conditional Generative Modeling

This paper introduces Conditional Unbalanced Optimal Transport Maps (CUOTM), a robust conditional generative framework that mitigates the outlier sensitivity of classical Conditional Optimal Transport by relaxing distribution-matching constraints via Csiszár divergence penalties while preserving conditioning marginals through a theoretically justified triangular cc-transform parameterization.

Optimizing Multi-Modal Models for Image-Based Shape Retrieval: The Role of Pre-Alignment and Hard Contrastive Learning

This paper proposes a novel approach to image-based shape retrieval that leverages pre-aligned multi-modal encoders and a hard contrastive learning loss to achieve state-of-the-art performance in both zero-shot and supervised settings, eliminating the need for explicit view-based supervision or view synthesis.

ADAS-TO: A Large-Scale Multimodal Naturalistic Dataset and Empirical Characterization of Human Takeovers during ADAS Engagement

This paper introduces ADAS-TO, the first large-scale naturalistic multimodal dataset of 15,659 ADAS-to-manual takeover events from 327 drivers, which combines kinematic and vision-language analysis to characterize safety-critical scenarios and demonstrate that actionable visual cues often precede takeovers by over three seconds.

Two Frames Matter: A Temporal Attack for Text-to-Video Model Jailbreaking

This paper introduces TFM, a temporal attack framework that exploits the vulnerability of text-to-video models to generate harmful content by providing only sparse boundary conditions (start and end frames) and implicitly substituting sensitive cues, thereby bypassing existing safety filters and significantly increasing jailbreak success rates.

Looking Back and Forth: Cross-Image Attention Calibration and Attentive Preference Learning for Multi-Image Hallucination Mitigation

This paper proposes CAPL, a framework that mitigates multi-image hallucinations in large vision-language models by introducing a selectable image token interaction mechanism for fine-grained cross-image alignment and a preference learning strategy that trains the model to rely on genuine visual evidence rather than textual priors.
