H3DNAS: Hardware-Aware ONNX-Native 3D Point Cloud Model Compression

Deploying 3D point cloud models on edge hardware such as the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano is severely constrained by compute and memory budgets. Existing compression methods require access to the model's original source code, rendering them inapplicable to the Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) binaries commonly distributed by vendors and model repositories. We present \textbf{H3DNAS}, a hardware-aware model compression framework that operates directly on ONNX computational graphs without requiring original source code, architecture class definition, or gradient access during search. H3DNAS makes three contributions: (1) a \textbf{Channel Dependency Graph (CDG)} that classifies ONNX operators into four constraint classes and formally establishes that the free parameter fraction $\rho_f$ is topological invariant, a provable compression ceiling computable in $\mathcal{O}(|V|+|E|)$; (2) a \textbf{Two-Stage Hierarchical Search} that prunes candidate architectures by $L_1$-importance channel selection, ranks them by output fidelity as a zero-shot label-free proxy, and applies GhostConv structural mutation to Pareto-optimal candidates; and (3) the \textbf{first source-code-free compression pipeline for 3D point cloud models}, operating entirely via ONNX graph surgery with no original architecture definition required. On ModelNet40, H3DNAS reduces the number of parameters in PointNet, PointNet++, and PointMLP by $65.5\%$, $43.2\%$, and $49.1\%$, respectively, while achieving $1.99\times$, $1.29\times$, and $1.67\times$ inference speedups with negligible loss in accuracy. The source code is publicly available\footnote{https://github.com/ClarityLab-Org/h3dnas}.

Semantic-Anchored, Class Variance-Optimized Clustering for Robust Semi-Supervised Few-Shot Learning

Few-shot learning has been extensively explored to address problems where the amount of labeled samples is very limited for some classes. In the semi-supervised few-shot learning setting, substantial quantities of unlabeled samples are available. Such unlabeled samples are generally cheaper to obtain and can be used to improve the few-shot learning performance of the model. Some of the recent methods for this setting rely on clustering to generate pseudo-labels for the unlabeled samples. Since the effectiveness of clustering heavily influences the labeling of the unlabeled samples, it can significantly affect the few-shot learning performance. In this paper, we focus on improving the representation learned by the model in order to improve the clustering and, consequently, the model performance. We propose an approach for semi-supervised few-shot learning that performs a class-variance optimized clustering coupled with a cluster separation tuner in order to improve the effectiveness of clustering the labeled and unlabeled samples in this setting. It also optimizes the clustering-based pseudo-labeling process using a restricted pseudo-labeling approach and performs semantic information injection in order to improve the semi-supervised few-shot learning performance of the model. We experimentally demonstrate that our proposed approach significantly outperforms recent state-of-the-art methods on the benchmark datasets. To further establish its robustness, we conduct extensive experiments under challenging conditions, showing that the model generalizes well to domain shifts and achieves new state-of-the-art performance in open-set settings with distractor classes, highlighting its effectiveness for real-world applications.
