ScopeMamba-YOLO: Widening the Perceptual Scope Inward and Outward for Small Object Detection in Remote Sensing Imagery

Small object detection in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and remote sensing imagery requires preserving high-resolution detail while modeling long-range context. Adding a stride-4 detection level and removing the stride-32 stage benefits tiny targets but weakens peripheral spatial support, whereas directly inserting selective scanning into the main feature path can interfere with weak local cues. We propose ScopeMamba-YOLO, built around an off-path, zero-gated selective-scanning principle that decouples contextual modeling from the convolutional stream. The principle is instantiated by a Cascaded Global-Context Module (CGCM) in the backbone and a Selective-Scan PAN (SS-PAN) in the neck. An Adaptive Multi-scale Strip (AMS) Block reduces the cost of high-resolution feature extraction, while a Scale-Adaptive DFL (SA-DFL) head reallocates distributional support and regression capacity across scales with only 0.008M additional parameters. Controlled experiments show that matched main-path selective scanning reduces mAP50 by 0.98 pp, whereas off-path CGCM improves the final configuration by 0.67 pp over the three-seed no-CGCM mean; operator controls indicate that this gain is not explained by auxiliary branch capacity alone. ERF analysis further shows that the complete context pathway increases the peripheral energy ratio from 0.008 to 0.090 at stride 8. On VisDrone-2019, ScopeMamba-S achieves 50.8% mAP50 with 3.57M parameters, exceeding YOLOv8s by 10.8 pp while using 32% of its parameters; ScopeMamba-M reaches 52.6% mAP50 with 6.48M parameters. Consistent improvements are also observed on AI-TOD, especially for very-tiny and tiny objects.

STELLA: Guiding Large Language Models for Time Series Forecasting with Semantic Abstractions

Recent adaptations of Large Language Models (LLMs) for time series forecasting often fail to effectively enhance information for raw series, leaving LLM reasoning capabilities underutilized. Existing prompting strategies rely on static correlations rather than generative interpretations of dynamic behavior, lacking critical global and instance-specific context. To address this, we propose STELLA (Semantic-Temporal Alignment with Language Abstractions), a framework that systematically mines and injects structured supplementary and complementary information. STELLA employs a dynamic semantic abstraction mechanism that decouples input series into trend, seasonality, and residual components. It then translates intrinsic behavioral features of these components into Hierarchical Semantic Anchors: a Corpus-level Semantic Prior (CSP) for global context and a Fine-grained Behavioral Prompt (FBP) for instance-level patterns. Using these anchors as prefix-prompts, STELLA guides the LLM to model intrinsic dynamics. Experiments on eight benchmark datasets demonstrate that STELLA outperforms state-of-the-art methods in long- and short-term forecasting, showing superior generalization in zero-shot and few-shot settings. Ablation studies further validate the effectiveness of our dynamically generated semantic anchors.
