Event-based vision sensing and its application to pedestrian detection for intelligent transportation and surveillance

Pedestrian detection in conventional frame-based imaging often suffers from limited temporal responsiveness and substantial data redundancy. Inspired by the biological retina, event-based vision sensing (EVS) offers ultra-low latency, high temporal resolution, wide dynamic range, and low power consumption, making it highly attractive for pedestrian perception in complex environments. This paper provides a comprehensive review of EVS and its application to pedestrian detection in intelligent transportation and surveillance scenarios. We first summarize the sensing principles, historical development, and key advantages of event-based vision in comparison with conventional frame-based imaging. We then review the major methodological components of event-based pedestrian detection, including sensing inputs, event representations, preprocessing strategies, feature extraction, detection models, datasets, and evaluation metrics. In addition, representative methods are comparatively analyzed in terms of temporal fidelity, detection accuracy, computational efficiency, and deployment complexity. Finally, we discuss the major open challenges in current EB-PD research, including benchmark standardization, event-native model design, multimodal fusion, and real-world deployment, and outline several promising directions for future development. This review aims to provide a structured and up-to-date reference for researchers working on event-based pedestrian perception and related intelligent vision systems.

Cross-Modal Memory Compression for Efficient Multi-Agent Debate

Multi-agent debate can improve reasoning quality and reduce hallucinations, but it incurs rapidly growing context as debate rounds and agent count increase. Retaining full textual histories leads to token usage that can exceed context limits and often requires repeated summarization, adding overhead and compounding information loss. We introduce DebateOCR, a cross-modal compression framework that replaces long textual debate traces with compact image representations, which are then consumed through a dedicated vision encoder to condition subsequent rounds. This design compresses histories that commonly span tens to hundreds of thousands of tokens, cutting input tokens by more than 92% and yielding substantially lower compute cost and faster inference across multiple benchmarks. We further provide a theoretical perspective showing that diversity across agents supports recovery of omitted information: although any single compressed history may discard details, aggregating multiple agents' compressed views allows the collective representation to approach the information bottleneck with exponentially high probability.

Towards a Robust Retrieval-Based Summarization System

This paper describes an investigation of the robustness of large language models (LLMs) for retrieval augmented generation (RAG)-based summarization tasks. While LLMs provide summarization capabilities, their performance in complex, real-world scenarios remains under-explored. Our first contribution is LogicSumm, an innovative evaluation framework incorporating realistic scenarios to assess LLM robustness during RAG-based summarization. Based on limitations identified by LogiSumm, we then developed SummRAG, a comprehensive system to create training dialogues and fine-tune a model to enhance robustness within LogicSumm's scenarios. SummRAG is an example of our goal of defining structured methods to test the capabilities of an LLM, rather than addressing issues in a one-off fashion. Experimental results confirm the power of SummRAG, showcasing improved logical coherence and summarization quality. Data, corresponding model weights, and Python code are available online.
