Multi-Modal Guided Multi-Source Domain Adaptation for Object Detection

General object detection (OD) struggles to detect objects in the target domain that differ from the training distribution. To address this, recent studies demonstrate that training from multiple source domains and explicitly processing them separately for multi-source domain adaptation (MSDA) outperforms blending them for unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA). However, existing MSDA methods learn domain-agnostic features from domain-specific RGB images while preserving domain-specific information from the domain-agnostic feature map. To address this, we propose MS-DePro: Multi-Source Detector with Depth and Prompt, composed of (1) depth-guided localization and (2) multi-modal guided prompt learning. We leverage domain-agnostic input modalities, namely depth maps and text, to encode domain-agnostic characteristics. Specifically, we utilize depth maps to generate domain-agnostic region proposals for localization and integrate multi-modal features to align learnable text embeddings for classification. MS-DePro achieves state-of-the-art performance on MSDA benchmarks, and comprehensive ablations demonstrate the effectiveness of our contributions. Our code is available on https://github.com/sejong-rcv/Multi-Modal-Guided-Multi-Source-Domain-Adaptation-for-Object-Detection.

MAST: Mask-Guided Attention Control for Training-Free Regional-Multi Style Transfer

Style transfer applies the appearance of a reference image to a content image while preserving its spatial structure. Recent diffusion-based methods achieve strong stylization but typically assume a single global style. We instead consider regional-multi style transfer, which assigns multiple references to user-specified regions of a content image. Extending them to this setting reveals two coupled shared-attention issues: ambiguous mass allocation among content and style partitions and degraded selectivity as more styles are jointly normalized, while style aggregation at the attention output further suppresses fine details. We propose MAST (Mask-Guided Attention Control for Training-Free Regional-Multi Style Transfer), a unified attention-control framework for frozen diffusion models. Logit-level Attention Mass Allocation enforces mask-derived partition masses, Sharpness-aware Temperature Scaling adaptively restores selectivity, and Discrepancy-aware Detail Injection recovers high-frequency content. MAST jointly processes all style--mask pairs in a single denoising pass without training, optimization, or post-hoc composition. Across two to five styles, MAST achieves the best average ArtFID, FID, and R-FID among all baselines, demonstrating regional style fidelity, content preservation, and scalability.

Boosting Cross-spectral Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Thermal Semantic Segmentation

In autonomous driving, thermal image semantic segmentation has emerged as a critical research area, owing to its ability to provide robust scene understanding under adverse visual conditions. In particular, unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) for thermal image segmentation can be an efficient solution to address the lack of labeled thermal datasets. Nevertheless, since these methods do not effectively utilize the complementary information between RGB and thermal images, they significantly decrease performance during domain adaptation. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study on cross-spectral UDA for thermal image semantic segmentation. We first propose a novel masked mutual learning strategy that promotes complementary information exchange by selectively transferring results between each spectral model while masking out uncertain regions. Additionally, we introduce a novel prototypical self-supervised loss designed to enhance the performance of the thermal segmentation model in nighttime scenarios. This approach addresses the limitations of RGB pre-trained networks, which cannot effectively transfer knowledge under low illumination due to the inherent constraints of RGB sensors. In experiments, our method achieves higher performance over previous UDA methods and comparable performance to state-of-the-art supervised methods.

Meent: Differentiable Electromagnetic Simulator for Machine Learning

Electromagnetic (EM) simulation plays a crucial role in analyzing and designing devices with sub-wavelength scale structures such as solar cells, semiconductor devices, image sensors, future displays and integrated photonic devices. Specifically, optics problems such as estimating semiconductor device structures and designing nanophotonic devices provide intriguing research topics with far-reaching real world impact. Traditional algorithms for such tasks require iteratively refining parameters through simulations, which often yield sub-optimal results due to the high computational cost of both the algorithms and EM simulations. Machine learning (ML) emerged as a promising candidate to mitigate these challenges, and optics research community has increasingly adopted ML algorithms to obtain results surpassing classical methods across various tasks. To foster a synergistic collaboration between the optics and ML communities, it is essential to have an EM simulation software that is user-friendly for both research communities. To this end, we present Meent, an EM simulation software that employs rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA). Developed in Python and equipped with automatic differentiation (AD) capabilities, Meent serves as a versatile platform for integrating ML into optics research and vice versa. To demonstrate its utility as a research platform, we present three applications of Meent: 1) generating a dataset for training neural operator, 2) serving as an environment for the reinforcement learning of nanophotonic device optimization, and 3) providing a solution for inverse problems with gradient-based optimizers. These applications highlight Meent's potential to advance both EM simulation and ML methodologies. The code is available at https://github.com/kc-ml2/meent with the MIT license to promote the cross-polinations of ideas among academic researchers and industry practitioners.
