3D Molecular Representation Learning for Organic Mixtures: Viscosity and Density Prediction

The viscosity and density of organic mixtures are essential properties for designing lubricants, solvents, and heat transfer fluids. In engineering practice, formulating a functional fluid requires understanding how these properties change with composition and temperature. However, exhaustive experimental characterization across the full parameter space is impractical due to the vast number of possible species and combinations. Here we introduce a mixture-aware 3D molecular representation learning strategy, built upon a pre-trained molecular encoder, that jointly encodes component structures, mole fractions, and temperature to achieve accurate predictions for organic mixtures. Fine-tuning on publicly available datasets covering a wide range of binary organic mixtures yields test-set R2 values of 0.973 for dynamic viscosity and 0.996 for density, significantly outperforming traditional machine learning baselines. Beyond this overall accuracy, the model captures non-monotonic viscosity changes upon mixing, surpassing simple linear or logarithmic mixing rules. The architecture is extendable to ternary and multicomponent mixtures, as verified via preliminary experiments. Using this model, we quantitatively analyze how molecular structure-branching, cycloalkane, and aromatic rings-affects viscosity-temperature behavior, which benefits the design of lubricants with superior viscosity-temperature performance. Altogether, this work provides a practical, data-driven tool for mixture property prediction, accelerating the rational formulation of functional fluids in chemical engineering.

SDTrack: A Baseline for Event-based Tracking via Spiking Neural Networks

Event cameras provide superior temporal resolution, dynamic range, energy efficiency, and pixel bandwidth. Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) naturally complement event data through discrete spike signals, making them ideal for event-based tracking. However, current approaches combining Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and SNNs suffer from suboptimal architectures that compromise energy efficiency and limit tracking performance. To address these limitations, we propose the first Transformer-based \textbf{S}pike-\textbf{D}riven \textbf{T}racking (SDTrack) pipeline. It incorporates a novel event frame aggregation method called Global Trajectory Prompt (GTP) and a Transformer-based tracker. The GTP method effectively captures global trajectory information and aggregates it with event streams into event frames to enhance spatiotemporal representation. The Transformer-based tracker comprises a fully spike-driven SNN backbone and a simple tracking head. The SDTrack pipeline operates end-to-end without data augmentation or post-processing. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our SDTrack-Tiny pipeline achieves competitive accuracy with only 19.61$M$ parameters and 8.16$mJ$ energy consumption, while our Base version achieves state-of-the-art accuracy across three datasets. Our work establishes a solid foundation for future neuromorphic vision research.

DDFAV: Remote Sensing Large Vision Language Models Dataset and Evaluation Benchmark

With the rapid development of large vision language models (LVLMs), these models have shown excellent results in various multimodal tasks. Since LVLMs are prone to hallucinations and there are currently few datasets and evaluation methods specifically designed for remote sensing, their performance is typically poor when applied to remote sensing tasks. To address these issues, this paper introduces a high quality remote sensing LVLMs dataset, DDFAV, created using data augmentation and data mixing strategies. Next, a training instruction set is produced based on some high-quality remote sensing images selected from the proposed dataset. Finally, we develop a remote sensing LVLMs hallucination evaluation method RSPOPE based on the proposed dataset and evaluate the zero-shot capabilities of different LVLMs. Our proposed dataset, instruction set, and evaluation method files are available at https://github.com/HaodongLi2024/rspope.

DASSF: Dynamic-Attention Scale-Sequence Fusion for Aerial Object Detection

The detection of small objects in aerial images is a fundamental task in the field of computer vision. Moving objects in aerial photography have problems such as different shapes and sizes, dense overlap, occlusion by the background, and object blur, however, the original YOLO algorithm has low overall detection accuracy due to its weak ability to perceive targets of different scales. In order to improve the detection accuracy of densely overlapping small targets and fuzzy targets, this paper proposes a dynamic-attention scale-sequence fusion algorithm (DASSF) for small target detection in aerial images. First, we propose a dynamic scale sequence feature fusion (DSSFF) module that improves the up-sampling mechanism and reduces computational load. Secondly, a x-small object detection head is specially added to enhance the detection capability of small targets. Finally, in order to improve the expressive ability of targets of different types and sizes, we use the dynamic head (DyHead). The model we proposed solves the problem of small target detection in aerial images and can be applied to multiple different versions of the YOLO algorithm, which is universal. Experimental results show that when the DASSF method is applied to YOLOv8, compared to YOLOv8n, on the VisDrone-2019 and DIOR datasets, the model shows an increase of 9.2% and 2.4% in the mean average precision (mAP), respectively, and outperforms the current mainstream methods.

Advancing Spiking Neural Networks towards Multiscale Spatiotemporal Interaction Learning

Recent advancements in neuroscience research have propelled the development of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), which not only have the potential to further advance neuroscience research but also serve as an energy-efficient alternative to Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) due to their spike-driven characteristics. However, previous studies often neglected the multiscale information and its spatiotemporal correlation between event data, leading SNN models to approximate each frame of input events as static images. We hypothesize that this oversimplification significantly contributes to the performance gap between SNNs and traditional ANNs. To address this issue, we have designed a Spiking Multiscale Attention (SMA) module that captures multiscale spatiotemporal interaction information. Furthermore, we developed a regularization method named Attention ZoneOut (AZO), which utilizes spatiotemporal attention weights to reduce the model's generalization error through pseudo-ensemble training. Our approach has achieved state-of-the-art results on mainstream neural morphology datasets. Additionally, we have reached a performance of 77.1% on the Imagenet-1K dataset using a 104-layer ResNet architecture enhanced with SMA and AZO. This achievement confirms the state-of-the-art performance of SNNs with non-transformer architectures and underscores the effectiveness of our method in bridging the performance gap between SNN models and traditional ANN models.

SynA-ResNet: Spike-driven ResNet Achieved through OR Residual Connection

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have garnered substantial attention in brain-like computing for their biological fidelity and the capacity to execute energy-efficient spike-driven operations. As the demand for heightened performance in SNNs surges, the trend towards training deeper networks becomes imperative, while residual learning stands as a pivotal method for training deep neural networks. In our investigation, we identified that the SEW-ResNet, a prominent representative of deep residual spiking neural networks, incorporates non-event-driven operations. To rectify this, we propose a novel training paradigm that first accumulates a large amount of redundant information through OR Residual Connection (ORRC), and then filters out the redundant information using the Synergistic Attention (SynA) module, which promotes feature extraction in the backbone while suppressing the influence of noise and useless features in the shortcuts. When integrating SynA into the network, we observed the phenomenon of "natural pruning", where after training, some or all of the shortcuts in the network naturally drop out without affecting the model's classification accuracy. This significantly reduces computational overhead and makes it more suitable for deployment on edge devices. Experimental results on various public datasets confirmed that the SynA-ResNet achieved single-sample classification with as little as 0.8 spikes per neuron. Moreover, when compared to other residual SNN models, it exhibited higher accuracy and up to a 28-fold reduction in energy consumption.
