MV-Sign: Multi-View 3D Motion Integration and Enhanced Text-to-Motion Conditioning for Sign Language Production

Singyu Muk, Kaustubh Kundu, Kunyuan Xie and 2 more

Sign language production (SLP) aims to generate appropriate sign language motion from spoken language text. However, current 3D SLP methods suffer from noisy supervision and weak text conditioning. Specifically, these methods typically rely on pseudo-3D motion data fitted from single-view frontal videos, which introduces severe self-occlusion and loses fine-grained hand details, ultimately degrading downstream production. To overcome these limitations, we propose a comprehensive framework that jointly integrates multi-view 3D motion data and optimizes the text-conditioning pathway. First, we introduce How2Sign-MV3D, a high-fidelity dataset constructed via a novel cross-view curation pipeline that fuses multi-view estimates to resolve occlusions and filter non-signing segments. Second, we design a robust SLP model incorporating a sign-aware spatio-temporal VQ-VAE (ST-VQVAE) for joint body-hand tokenization, a pseudo-gloss adapter, and keyframe-aware retrieval to enhance text-to-motion alignment. Evaluated on the How2Sign benchmark, our framework reduces body and hand DTW-PA-JPE by 32.8% and 20.9% respectively compared to the state-of-the-art. Finally, we release two new high-quality 3D datasets, ASLCitizen-3D and MM-WAuslan-MV3D, alongside SGNify-MV as a multi-view video benchmark to support broader community research.

Bri3D: Bridging the Object-Scene Gap in Single-Image 3D Generation via Scene-Anchor

Hongye Hou, Shuai Zhang, Hongjie Li and 4 more

Generating compositional 3D scenes from a single image requires recovering detailed object geometry and coherent spatial arrangements. Existing object-to-scene methods, including SAM3D and MIDI, extend object generation through image-context reasoning or inter-instance modeling. Coordinating objects remains challenging with limited scene-level supervision. Directly extending object-centric generators to entire scenes can degrade geometry and fail to preserve instance scale, orientation, and pose. We propose Bri3D, a framework bridging scene-level structural reasoning and object-level generative priors through instance-aware voxel scene anchors. Bri3D predicts a color-coded scene scaffold encoding coarse object geometry and spatial arrangements. Each instance is extracted as a scene anchor and refined into a pose-preserving, prior-compatible voxel support, enabling a frozen object generator to synthesize detailed textured geometry in the anchor-defined spatial reference. This coarse-to-fine design separates scene organization from object-scale detail synthesis, focusing scene-level training on spatial organization and anchor refinement while reusing pretrained object priors. Experiments demonstrate improvements in scene layout, object geometry, visual quality, and generalization. Bri3D predicts scene layouts efficiently; full scene generation is faster than SceneGen and SAM3D.

Reviving the Discarded High-Resolution Feature for Transformer-Based Tiny Object Detection

Zehao Wang, Si Wu, Guiping Cao and 2 more

Tiny object detection remains challenging because tiny instances occupy only a few pixels, and their fine-grained details are easily lost during feature downsampling. Although the highest-resolution feature preserves rich local details for tiny objects, DETR-like detectors often discard it due to its large computational cost, while directly reintroducing this feature also brings dense background noise. To address this problem, we propose ReDHF, a novel framework that Revives the Discarded High-resolution Feature for tiny object detection. ReDHF has three cooperative components. Cross-Scale Deformable Fusion (CSDF) first constructs a semantically enhanced highest-resolution feature and injects its fine-grained details into the shallow feature under a moderate cost. Ellipse-Guided Shallow Supervision (EGSS) then guides the enhanced feature to learn more reliable classification and localization priors by applying geometry-adaptive auxiliary supervision. Full-Scale Query Interaction (FSQI) further enables decoder queries to access both low-level details and high-level semantic information, allowing them to aggregate richer cues for tiny objects. Extensive experiments show that ReDHF consistently improves multiple baselines across different DETR variants and achieves state-of-the-art performance on the evaluated benchmarks. The best ReDHF variants surpass their baselines by +1.4 AP on AI-TOD-v2, +1.6 AP on VisDrone, and +1.5 AP on SODA-D, with especially notable gains on tiny and small objects.

Adapters as Data: The Latent Space of LoRAs

Moritz Grävinghoff, Konstantin Wehmeyer, Aron Asefaw and 2 more

LoRA adapters are usually treated as finished artifacts rather than as a data modality. Prior work has shown that LoRA adapters populate a low-dimensional manifold that a linear PCA basis already organizes well enough to support different operations such as sampling, editing, and inversion. We ask what a learned, nonlinear latent adds beyond this. We train a transformer autoencoder on the same population of LoRA identity adapters, mapping each into a latent space and compare every operation against the identical operation applied directly to the raw adapter weights. The latent preserves the capabilities already available in weight space, sampling diverse identities and editing individual attributes. Beyond preservation, we show that the latent is far more robust to displacement than weight space, degrading into distorted but still valid faces rather than texture. Fixed-dimensional weight-space representations cannot natively host adapters of more than one rank, so we extend our sequential autoencoder to hold mixed-rank adapters within one shared latent. This gives a path toward treating adapter weights of varying architecture as a single, general modality rather than one tied to a fixed rank, and points to a learned, nonlinear latent as the mechanism that could carry this generalization further, toward heterogeneous populations of adapters.

Enhanced MRI brain tumor detection using deep learning in conjunction with explainable AI SHAP based diverse and multi feature analysis

Asif Rahman, Maqsood Hayat, Nadeem Iqbal and 3 more

Recent innovations in medical imaging have markedly improved brain tumor identification, surpassing conventional diagnostic approaches that suffer from low resolution, radiation exposure, and limited contrast. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is pivotal in precise and accurate tumor characterization owing to its high-resolution, non-invasive nature. This study investigates the synergy among multiple feature representation schemes such as local Binary Patterns (LBP), Gabor filters, Discrete Wavelet Transform, Fast Fourier Transform, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and Gray-Level Run Length Matrix alongside five learning algorithms namely: k-nearest Neighbor, Random Forest, Support Vector Classifier (SVC), and probabilistic neural network (PNN), and CNN. Empirical findings indicate that LBP in conjunction with SVC and CNN obtained high specificity and accuracy, rendering it a promising method for MRI-based tumor diagnosis. Further to investigate the contribution of LBP, Statistical analysis chi-square and p-value tests are used to confirm the significant impact of LBP feature space for identification of brain Tumor. In addition, The SHAP analysis was used to identify the most important features in classification. In a small dataset, CNN obtained 97.8% accuracy while SVC yielded 98.06% accuracy. In subsequent analysis, a large benchmark dataset is also utilized to evaluate the performance of learning algorithms in order to investigate the generalization power of the proposed model. CNN achieves the highest accuracy of 98.9%, followed by SVC at 96.7%. These results highlight CNN's effectiveness in automated, high-precision tumor diagnosis.
