Abstract

Text-based Person Anomaly Search (TPAS) retrieves a target pedestrian using natural-language descriptions of appearance and normal or anomalous behavior. Unlike conventional text-based person retrieval, TPAS must preserve identity cues while distinguishing fine-grained behaviors. It presents two challenges: same-identity, different-behavior hard negatives cause gradient conflict during granular alignment, while strong appearance cues can obscure weak behavioral evidence during aggregation. We propose GradCO (behavior-aware Gradient-Conflict Offloading), comprising three complementary components. Behavior-Aware Mixture-of-Experts (B-MoE) forms appearance, normal-behavior, and anomalous-behavior streams whose roles are learned from retrieval objectives without expert-specific semantic labels. Conflict Offload Learning (COL) uses pair-conditioned offload anchors in similarity computation to reduce the conflicting-gradient burden on the main text representations. Hierarchical Intent Alignment (HIA) aggregates expert similarities and features using query-conditioned weights. Experiments on five TPAS/TIPR benchmarks show GradCO significantly surpasses SOTA methods and validate our design.

DyRA: Portable Dynamic Resolution Adjustment Network for Existing Detectors

Achieving constant accuracy in object detection is challenging due to the inherent variability of object sizes. One effective approach to this problem involves optimizing input resolution, referred to as a multi-resolution strategy. Previous approaches to resolution optimization have often been based on pre-defined resolutions with manual selection. However, there is a lack of study on run-time resolution optimization for existing architectures. This paper introduces DyRA, a dynamic resolution adjustment network providing an image-specific scale factor for existing detectors. This network is co-trained with detectors utilizing specially designed loss functions, namely ParetoScaleLoss and BalanceLoss. ParetoScaleLoss determines an adaptive scale factor for robustness, while BalanceLoss optimizes overall scale factors according to the localization performance of the detector. The loss function is devised to minimize the accuracy drop across contrasting objectives of different-sized objects for scaling. Our proposed network can improve accuracy across various models, including RetinaNet, Faster-RCNN, FCOS, DINO, and H-Deformable-DETR. The code is available at https://github.com/DaEunFullGrace/DyRA.git.

Smart Surveillance: Deep Learning and Hybrid Approaches for Dynamic Scene Analysis, Object Detection and Motion Tracking

Event-triggered recording reduces the footage a surveillance camera must store, but the trigger decides how much idle video is kept, how many events are missed, and how much computation is spent. We compare six motion triggers (frame differencing, dense optical flow, MOG2, KNN, CNT, GSOC), a CNN detector, strided detection, and three motion-gated hybrids under one recording policy, on a benchmark of seven static-camera scenes (5,800 frames, 27 annotated events) with thresholds transferred to unseen scenes by leave-one-video-out. Detector-based triggers stored 19-28% of idle frames, against 36-89% for motion triggers. Under simulated camera jitter, frame differencing, optical flow, MOG2 and KNN stored 97-100% of idle frames, while detector triggers stayed below 29%. Running the detector on every 8th frame kept 99.7% of event frames at 9.8 ms of CPU per frame, cheaper and more robust than gating it with background subtraction. On VisDrone, raising YOLO11n's input from 640 to 1280 px raised AP from 15.5 to 26.8, more than a larger model, and INT8 quantization cut latency by 17% for 0.3 AP. In tracking, longer track memory raised IDF1 from 70.5 to 76.7, but every tracker recovered only 39-44% of overlapped people, because detection rather than association failed.

An Embarrassingly Simple Data Selection Strategy for Million-Scale Multi-Modal Instruction-Tuning

Recent research demonstrates that pretrained large language models (LLMs) require minimal but carefully curated data for instruction-tuning. Building on LLMs, multi-modal models further contend with far larger data volumes, heterogeneous sources, and cross-modal alignment, amplifying both the necessity and the complexity of data selection. However, existing methods rely on deeply extracted embeddings, gradients or narrow quality scores that are time-consuming to compute and limited in expressiveness, frequently failing to surpass a simple random-sampling baseline. To overcome these limitations, we step back from complex embedding spaces and target the fundamental objective of instruction tuning: how and what knowledge should be elicited from the pretrained model and exposed to users. We leverage interaction \underline{S}tyles as a proxy for structural diversity, and decompose data quality into capability-specific \underline{S}cores, yielding an explicit yet \underline{R}ich (SSR) profile for each sample. We further cast the selection as submodular coverage maximization over the capability--style grid, providing an approximation guarantee. SSR consistently delivers superior performance across two distinct architecture stacks, LLaVA-1.5 (Vicuna + CLIP) and LLaVA-OneVision (Qwen2 + SigLIP), two large-scale data pools, six data budget settings, and 14 multi-modal benchmarks. To our knowledge, SSR is the first data selection method validated at million-scale, achieving 99.1% of full-data performance using only 30% of a 2.6M pool. Furthermore, the SSR profile models and selected subsets transfer training-free across data pools and model architectures with capability extensibility.
