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: 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: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Barry F. Madore, Wendy L. Freedman, Kayla Owens, , | Summary: This is the second of two papers exploring the effects of metallicity on the multi-wavelength properties of Cepheids in terms of their multi-wavelength period-luminosity (PL) relations, impacting their use as extragalactic distance indicators, underpinning one […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: M. Archipley, A. Hryciuk, L. E. Bleem, K. Kornoelje, M. Klein | Summary: Context. The South Pole Telescope third-generation camera (SPT-3G) has observed over 10,000 square degrees of sky at 95, 150, and 220 GHz (3.3, 2.0, 1.4 mm, respectively) overlapping the ongoing 14,000 square-degree Euclid Wide […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Yang Bai, Ting-Kuo Chen, Jia Liu, Xiaolin Ma, | Summary: We present a complete Lagrangian describing axion interactions with pseudoscalar and (axial-)vector mesons within the three light-flavor quark framework. This formulation incorporates both the standard chiral Lagrangian and the full Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term. By including instanton effects […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Junzhuo Li, Bo Wang, Xiuze Zhou, Peijie Jiang, Jia Liu | Summary: The interpretability of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models, especially those with heterogeneous designs, remains underexplored. Existing attribution methods for dense models fail to capture dynamic routing-expert interactions in sparse MoE architectures. To address this issue, we propose […]
