VLSplat: Vision-Language Guided Object-Centric 3D Gaussian Splatting via Scene Graph

Learning semantic representations for 3D Gaussian Splatting has recently emerged as a promising direction for 3D scene understanding. However, existing 2D-to-3D semantic lifting approaches rely primarily on 2D segmentation supervision and lack object-level priors, causing the learned representation to be driven by local mask evidence rather than holistic object structure. In this paper, we present VLSplat, a vision-language guided approach for object-centric semantic lifting in 3D Gaussian Splatting. Our method augments mask-based lifting with object-level semantic priors derived from vision-language models and refines Gaussian representations using an object-group scene graph. The refinement is performed through two language-guided modules: intra-group refinement suppresses semantic noise within object groups, while inter-group acquisition expands object support regions by incorporating structurally relevant candidates from neighboring groups. Extensive experiments on indoor scene datasets demonstrate that VLSplat improves the semantic consistency and structural completeness of object-level categories. Our code and models are available at https://vlsplat.github.io/.

Neuronal Identity as an Organizational Basis for Analyzing Neural Population Dynamics

Individual neurons exhibit diverse molecular, morphological, and electrophysiological properties that shape their distinct roles in neural circuits. While these multimodal features are largely shared across individuals, they remain an underutilized source of information in analyzing neural population dynamics. We posit that these shared biological profiles provide a common reference for relating neural dynamics across subjects and recording sessions. Our framework leverages this structure by routing neurons into latent groups based on their biological profiles and analyzing population dynamics through group-level representations. Because these assignments are anchored in biological properties that are consistent across subjects, the learned organization supports transfer to unseen animals without retraining or neuron-wise correspondence. We evaluate our framework on whole-brain calcium imaging in larval zebrafish and large-scale electrophysiology in the mouse visual cortex. Across both species and recording modalities, the framework delivers state-of-the-art performance in both neural decoding and manifold analysis: it achieves superior decoding of behavior and stimulus labels while better preserving the temporal consistency and local geometric structure of latent trajectories on unseen data. Our experiments demonstrate that not only does providing biological features improve baseline performance, but our proposed framework achieves even stronger results by using these properties to explicitly structure the population rather than treating them as auxiliary inputs. Together, these results suggest that organizing neural populations by their multimodal biological features offers a promising framework for generalizing population dynamics across subjects and recording sessions.

AVA-VLM: Adaptive Visual Attention-Vision Language Model for In-the-Wild Construction Site Monitoring

Existing construction-site Vision-Language Model (VLM) studies have primarily adapted pretrained VLMs through direct QA-style fine-tuning from a single global image, but we argue that this paradigm remains limited in operational range, reliability under reduced-resolution inputs, and inference efficiency. To address these limitations, we propose AVA-VLM, an Adaptive Visual Attention-Vision Language Model that follows a human-inspired coarse-to-fine strategy: it first reasons over a low-resolution global image and requests a high-resolution local crop only when detailed inspection is needed. We further introduce a region-aware Chain-of-Thought dataset that teaches when to inspect, where to crop, and how to use local evidence. Experiments show that, for violation identification, AVA-VLM improves overall F1 from 62.0 to 75.1 while using only 30.6% of the baseline visual-token budget; for long-distance PPE-violation cases, F1 improves from 16.0 to 63.6. These results demonstrate AVA-VLM's improved robustness to distant and reduced-resolution visual evidence with substantially lower visual-token usage.

Test Input Validation for Vision-based DL Systems: An Active Learning Approach

Testing deep learning (DL) systems requires extensive and diverse, yet valid, test inputs. While synthetic test input generation methods, such as metamorphic testing, are widely used for DL testing, they risk introducing invalid inputs that do not accurately reflect real-world scenarios. Invalid test inputs can lead to misleading results. Hence, there is a need for automated validation of test inputs to ensure effective assessment of DL systems. In this paper, we propose a test input validation approach for vision-based DL systems. Our approach uses active learning to balance the trade-off between accuracy and the manual effort required for test input validation. Further, by employing multiple image-comparison metrics, it achieves better results in classifying valid and invalid test inputs compared to methods that rely on single metrics. We evaluate our approach using an industrial and a public-domain dataset. Our evaluation shows that our multi-metric, active learning-based approach produces several optimal accuracy-effort trade-offs, including those deemed practical and desirable by our industry partner. Furthermore, provided with the same level of manual effort, our approach is significantly more accurate than two state-of-the-art test input validation methods, achieving an average accuracy of 97%. Specifically, the use of multiple metrics, rather than a single metric, results in an average improvement of at least 5.4% in overall accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art baselines. Incorporating an active learning loop for test input validation yields an additional 7.5% improvement in average accuracy, bringing the overall average improvement of our approach to at least 12.9% compared to the baselines.

Low-Light Image Enhancement Framework for Improved Object Detection in Fisheye Lens Datasets

This study addresses the evolving challenges in urban traffic monitoring detection systems based on fisheye lens cameras by proposing a framework that improves the efficacy and accuracy of these systems. In the context of urban infrastructure and transportation management, advanced traffic monitoring systems have become critical for managing the complexities of urbanization and increasing vehicle density. Traditional monitoring methods, which rely on static cameras with narrow fields of view, are ineffective in dynamic urban environments, necessitating the installation of multiple cameras, which raises costs. Fisheye lenses, which were recently introduced, provide wide and omnidirectional coverage in a single frame, making them a transformative solution. However, issues such as distorted views and blurriness arise, preventing accurate object detection on these images. Motivated by these challenges, this study proposes a novel approach that combines a ransformer-based image enhancement framework and ensemble learning technique to address these challenges and improve traffic monitoring accuracy, making significant contributions to the future of intelligent traffic management systems. Our proposed methodological framework won 5th place in the 2024 AI City Challenge, Track 4, with an F1 score of 0.5965 on experimental validation data. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness, efficiency, and robustness of the proposed system. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/daitranskku/AIC2024-TRACK4-TEAM15.

With the advent of AI and computer vision techniques, the quest for automated and efficient floor plan designs has gained momentum. This paper presents a novel approach using skip-connected neural networks integrated with layout graphs.
