ColorFD: A Finite-Difference Guided Black-Box Physical Adversarial Attack for Remote Sensing Object Detection

Although deep neural network-based remote sensing object detectors have achieved strong performance, they remain vulnerable to adversarial perturbations. Existing studies mainly focus on digital or white-box settings, whereas black-box physical attacks remain underexplored. These attacks are often constrained by limited physical feasibility and inefficient optimization in high-dimensional search spaces. To address these challenges, this paper proposes ColorFD, a black-box physical attack based on multiple pure-color patches. The patch positions and color parameters are jointly optimized using Differential Evolution (DE). A target-wise fitness and selection mechanism evaluates the attack state of each target and preserves target-specific improvements during evolution. Two guidance strategies further constrain the patch search space. Key-region localization identifies sensitive regions through finite-difference color probing. Common-feature extraction provides category-level spatial priors and avoids repeated localization. Although evaluated on aircraft, the formulation is not inherently restricted to this category. Experiments on YOLOv3u, YOLOv5u, and Faster R-CNN show that ColorFD outperforms the tested black-box patch method across all evaluated detectors and remains competitive with strong white-box baselines. Physical-world experiments further demonstrate that the optimized pure-color patches can be transferred from the digital domain to real imaging conditions.

Breaking the Memory Wall: Exact Analytical Differentiation via Tiled Operator-Space Evolution

Selective State Space Models (SSMs) achieve linear-time inference, yet their gradient-based sensitivity analysis remains bottlenecked by O(L) memory scaling during backpropagation. This memory constraint precludes genomic-scale modeling (L > 10^5) on consumer-grade hardware. We introduce Phase Gradient Flow (PGF), a framework that computes exact analytical derivatives by operating directly in the state-space manifold, bypassing the need to materialize the intermediate computational graph. By reframing SSM dynamics as Tiled Operator-Space Evolution (TOSE), our method delivers O(1) memory complexity relative to sequence length, yielding a 94% reduction in peak VRAM and a 23x increase in throughput compared to standard Autograd. Unlike parallel prefix scans that exhibit numerical divergence in stiff ODE regimes, PGF ensures stability through invariant error scaling, maintaining near-machine precision across extreme sequences. We demonstrate the utility of PGF on an impulse-response benchmark with 128,000-step sequences - a scale where conventional Autograd encounters prohibitive memory overhead, often leading to out-of-memory (OOM) failures in multi-layered models. Our work enables chromosome-scale sensitivity analysis on a single GPU, bridging the gap between theoretical infinite-context models and practical hardware limitations.

Compact neural networks for astronomy with optimal transport bias correction

Astronomical imaging confronts an efficiency-resolution tradeoff that limits large-scale morphological classification and redshift prediction. We introduce WaveletMamba, a theory-driven framework integrating wavelet decomposition with state-space modeling, mathematical regularization, and multi-level bias correction. WaveletMamba achieves 81.72% +/- 0.53% classification accuracy at 64x64 resolution with only 3.54M parameters, delivering high-resolution performance (80.93% +/- 0.27% at 244x244) at low-resolution inputs with 9.7x computational efficiency gains. The framework exhibits Resolution Multistability, where models trained on low-resolution data achieve consistent accuracy across different input scales despite divergent internal representations. The framework's multi-level bias correction synergizes HK distance (distribution-level optimal transport) with Color-Aware Weighting (sample-level fine-tuning), achieving 22.96% Log-MSE improvement and 26.10% outlier reduction without explicit selection function modeling. Here, we show that mathematical rigor enables unprecedented efficiency and comprehensive bias correction in scientific AI, bridging computer vision and astrophysics to revolutionize interdisciplinary scientific discovery.

Comparative Analysis of Advanced Feature Matching Algorithms in Challenging High Spatial Resolution Optical Satellite Stereo Scenarios

Feature matching determines the orientation accuracy for the High Spatial Resolution (HSR) optical satellite stereos, subsequently impacting several significant applications such as 3D reconstruction and change detection. However, the matching of off-track HSR optical satellite stereos often encounters challenging conditions including wide-baseline observation, significant radiometric differences, multi-temporal changes, varying spatial resolutions, inconsistent spectral resolution, and diverse sensors. In this study, we evaluate various advanced feature matching algorithms for HSR optical satellite stereos. Utilizing a specially constructed dataset from five satellites across six challenging scenarios, HSROSS Dataset, we conduct a comparative analysis of four algorithms: the traditional SIFT, and deep-learning based methods including SuperPoint + SuperGlue, SuperPoint + LightGlue, and LoFTR. Our findings highlight overall superior performance of SuperPoint + LightGlue in balancing robustness, accuracy, distribution, and efficiency, showcasing its potential in complex HSR optical satellite scenarios.

On the Parallelization of Triangular Decomposition of Polynomial Systems

We discuss the parallelization of algorithms for solving polynomial systems symbolically by way of triangular decomposition. Algorithms for solving polynomial systems combine low-level routines for performing arithmetic operations on polynomials and high-level procedures which produce the different components (points, curves, surfaces) of the solution set. The latter "component-level" parallelization of triangular decompositions, our focus here, belongs to the class of dynamic irregular parallel applications. Possible speedup factors depend on geometrical properties of the solution set (number of components, their dimensions and degrees); these algorithms do not scale with the number of processors. In this paper we combine two different concurrency schemes, the fork-join model and producer-consumer patterns, to better capture opportunities for component-level parallelization. We report on our implementation with the publicly available BPAS library. Our experimentation with 340 systems yields promising results.
