ScaLe-INR: Scale and Learn Implicit Neural Representations

Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) parameterized by multilayer perceptrons excel at modeling continuous signals. However, a key challenge persists as INRs fundamentally suffer from spectral bias and information cross-talk. When a single network attempts to capture multi-scale phenomena, high-frequency weight updates destructively interfere with the underlying low-frequency structural approximation. We introduce Scale and Learn INR (ScaLe-INR), a novel multi-branch architecture that resolves these limitations by explicitly matching the signal's frequency spectrum with the optimal operating region of the INR. Drawing upon the Fourier inverse scaling theorem we demonstrate that applying directional coordinate scaling expands a network's representational bandwidth along specific spatial axes. To mathematically enforce functional disentanglement and minimize task-specific information leakage between branches, we propose a Directional Edge Guidance Loss, a spatially-conditioned sparsity prior derived from ground-truth gradients. By constraining the high-frequency branches to act as strict, localized edge-filters, ScaLe-INR eliminates spectral cross-talk, accelerates convergence, and achieves high-fidelity signal reconstruction on complex multi-scale topologies. We evaluate ScaLe-INR across diverse reconstruction and inverse tasks, demonstrating substantial performance gains over existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods. The proposed architecture improves upon the nearest baselines by +5.16 dB in image reconstruction and +0.65 dB in image denoising. Furthermore, it achieve an impressive figure of 50.02 dB on audio reconstruction and 0.999 IOU(Intersection Over Union) on 3D reconstruction which beats the all SOTA models.

COSMO-INR: Complex Sinusoidal Modulation for Implicit Neural Representations

Implicit neural representations (INRs) are a powerful paradigm for modeling data, offering a continuous alternative to discrete signal representations. Their ability to compactly encode complex signals has led to strong performance in many vision tasks. Prior work shows INR performance is highly sensitive to the choice of activation function in the underlying multilayer perceptron, yet the theoretical reasons remain unclear. Key limitations also persist, including spectral bias (reduced sensitivity to high-frequency content), limited robustness to noise, and difficulty capturing local and global structure jointly. We analyze INR signal representation using harmonic analysis and Chebyshev polynomials. We prove that modulating activation functions with a complex sinusoidal term yields richer and more complete spectral support throughout the network. Building on this, we introduce a new activation function tailored to INRs and validate our theory using Chebyshev analysis and extensive experiments. We additionally use a regularized deep prior, extracted from a task-specific model, to adapt the activations, further improving convergence speed and stability. Across image reconstruction (average PSNR gain of +5.67 dB over the nearest counterpart on a diverse dataset), denoising (+0.46 dB PSNR), super-resolution (+0.64 dB over the nearest SOTA method for 6X upscaling), inpainting, and 3D shape reconstruction, our activation consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art alternatives.

AVSim -- Realistic Simulation Framework for Airborne and Vector-Borne Disease Dynamics

Computational disease modeling plays a crucial role in understanding and controlling the transmission of infectious diseases. While agent-based models (ABMs) provide detailed insights into individual dynamics, accurately replicating human motion remains challenging due to its complex, multi-factorial nature. Most existing frameworks fail to model realistic human motion, leading to oversimplified and less realistic behavior modeling. Furthermore, many current models rely on synthetic assumptions and fail to account for realistic environmental structures, transportation systems, and behavioral heterogeneity across occupation groups. To address these limitations, we introduce AVSim, an agent-based simulation framework designed to model airborne and vector-borne disease dynamics under realistic conditions. A distinguishing feature of AVSim is its ability to accurately model the dual nature of human mobility (both the destinations individuals visit and the duration of their stay) by utilizing GPS traces from real-world participants, characterized by occupation. This enables a significantly more granular and realistic representation of human movement compared to existing approaches. Furthermore, spectral clustering combined with graph-theoretic analysis is used to uncover latent behavioral patterns within occupations, enabling fine-grained modeling of agent behavior. We validate the synthetic human mobility patterns against ground-truth GPS data and demonstrate AVSim's capabilities via simulations of COVID-19 and dengue. The results highlight AVSim's capacity to trace infection pathways, identify high-risk zones, and evaluate interventions such as vaccination, quarantine, and vector control with occupational and geographic specificity.
