Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Xiaohong Liu, Xiongkuo Min, Qiang Hu, Xiaoyun Zhang, Jie Guo | Summary: This paper reports on the NTIRE 2025 XGC Quality Assessment Challenge, which will be held in conjunction with the New Trends in Image Restoration and Enhancement Workshop (NTIRE) at CVPR 2025. This challenge is to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Mengmeng Zhang, Xingyuan Dai, Yicheng Sun, Jing Wang, Yueyang Yao | Summary: Although the Segment Anything Model (SAM) is highly effective in natural image segmentation, it requires dependencies on prompts, which limits its applicability to medical imaging where manual prompts are often unavailable. Existing efforts to fine-tune […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Zeshan Haider, Muhammad Haroon Saeed, Muhammad Ehsan-ul-Haq Zaheer, Zeeshan Ahmed Alvi, Muhammad Ilyas | Summary: Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) emerged as a promising solution for generating truly random numbers. In the present article, we give an overview of QRNGs highlighting the merits and demerits of various […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Jaya Nagarajan-Swenson, George C. Privon, Aaron S. Evans, Loreto Barcos-Muñoz, Claudio Ricci | Summary: The local X-ray AGN population appears to follow a growth cycle regulated by the AGN’s own radiation, marked by changes in their obscuration and Eddington ratio during accretion events. Because AGN in infrared-selected […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: HiJee Kang, Travis Babola and Patrick O Kanold | Summary: Sensory information is represented by small neuronal ensembles in sensory cortices. Neuronal activity shows high trial-by-trial variability in that repeated presentation of the same stimulus, e. g., multiple presentations of the same sound activate differing ensembles in the auditory […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Santanu Mondal, Gourab Giri, Ravi Joshi, Paul J. Wiita, Gopal-Krishna | Summary: Our understanding of large-scale radio jets in merger systems has been drastically improved in the era of VLA, VLBA/EVN, uGMRT, and MeerKAT. Twin Radio Galaxies (TRGs) are the rare interacting galaxy pairs where both […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Run He, Jiao Chen, Di Fang, Ming Li | Summary: Class-incremental learning (CIL) enables models to learn new classes continually without forgetting previously acquired knowledge. Multi-label CIL (MLCIL) extends CIL to a real-world scenario where each sample may belong to multiple classes, introducing several challenges: […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Hua-Dong Xiong, Li Ji-An, Marcelo G Mattar and Robert C Wilson | Summary: Cognitive modeling provides a formal method to articulate and test hypotheses about cognitive processes. However, accurately and reliably estimating model parameters remains challenging due to common issues in behavioral science, such as limited data, measurement noise, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Maryam Ziaei | Authors: Arjun Dave, Shuer Ye, Leona R Batz, Xiaqing Lan, Heidi Jacobs and Maryam Ziaei | Summary: Interpreting ambiguous environmental cues, like facial expressions, becomes increasingly challenging with age, especially as cognitive resources decline. Managing these challenges requires adaptive neural mechanisms that are essential for maintaining mental well-being. The locus […]
