G-MAD: A Game-Based Data Generation Framework for Multi-View RGB-T Aerial Object Detection

This work introduces G-MAD, an open-source framework that uses Arma3 to generate synchronized multi-view RGB-T data for aerial object detection. G-MAD addresses key limitations of real-world aerial dataset construction, including limited viewpoint control, imperfect RGB-T alignment and high annotation cost. The framework supports structured scenario specification, controllable multi-view camera placement, simultaneous visible/thermal capture, and automatic bounding box annotation using engine-level geometric metadata. These capabilities enable controlled studies of viewpoint variation, multi-modal fusion, and synthetic-to-real transfer in aerial object detection. Besides, using G-MAD, we construct and release AMOD, a new large-scale multi-view aerial RGB-T object detection benchmark. The source code and the dataset are available at https://unique-chan.github.io/G-MAD-Project.

Unlocking Robust Semantic Segmentation Performance via Label-only Elastic Deformations against Implicit Label Noise

While previous studies on image segmentation focus on handling severe (or explicit) label noise, real-world datasets also exhibit subtle (or implicit) label imperfections. These arise from inherent challenges, such as ambiguous object boundaries and annotator variability. Although not explicitly present, such mild and latent noise can still impair model performance. Typical data augmentation methods, which apply identical transformations to the image and its label, risk amplifying these subtle imperfections and limiting the model's generalization capacity. In this paper, we introduce NSegment+, a novel augmentation framework that decouples image and label transformations to address such realistic noise for semantic segmentation. By introducing controlled elastic deformations only to segmentation labels while preserving the original images, our method encourages models to focus on learning robust representations of object structures despite minor label inconsistencies. Extensive experiments demonstrate that NSegment+ consistently improves performance, achieving mIoU gains of up to +2.29, +2.38, +1.75, and +3.39 in average on Vaihingen, LoveDA, Cityscapes, and PASCAL VOC, respectively-even without bells and whistles, highlighting the importance of addressing implicit label noise. These gains can be further amplified when combined with other training tricks, including CutMix and Label Smoothing.

Mamba-X: An End-to-End Vision Mamba Accelerator for Edge Computing Devices

Transformers have proven effective in language modeling but are limited by high computational and memory demands that grow quadratically with input sequence length. State space models (SSMs) offer a promising alternative by reducing attention complexity from $O(L^2)$ to $O(L)$ while also lowering overall memory consumption. Vision Mamba adapts the SSM approach for computer vision tasks, achieving lower latency and memory consumption than traditional transformer models. However, deploying Vision Mamba on edge devices is challenging due to its sequential scan operations, which hinder GPU efficiency. We propose Mamba-X, an end-to-end Vision Mamba accelerator that includes a systolic scan array to maximize parallelism and minimize memory traffic, along with a hybrid, hardware-friendly quantization technique to reduce memory usage and improve hardware efficiency without sacrificing accuracy.

DiVa: An Accelerator for Differentially Private Machine Learning

The widespread deployment of machine learning (ML) is raising serious concerns on protecting the privacy of users who contributed to the collection of training data. Differential privacy (DP) is rapidly gaining momentum in the industry as a practical standard for privacy protection. Despite DP's importance, however, little has been explored within the computer systems community regarding the implication of this emerging ML algorithm on system designs. In this work, we conduct a detailed workload characterization on a state-of-the-art differentially private ML training algorithm named DP-SGD. We uncover several unique properties of DP-SGD (e.g., its high memory capacity and computation requirements vs. non-private ML), root-causing its key bottlenecks. Based on our analysis, we propose an accelerator for differentially private ML named DiVa, which provides a significant improvement in compute utilization, leading to 2.6x higher energy-efficiency vs. conventional systolic arrays.
