HVDetFusion: A Simple and Robust Camera-Radar Fusion Framework

Kai Lei, Zhan Chen, Shuman Jia et al.

In the field of autonomous driving, 3D object detection is a very important perception module. Although the current SOTA algorithm combines Camera and Lidar sensors, limited by the high price of Lidar, the current mainstream landing schemes are pure Camera sensors or Camera+Radar sensors. In this study, we propose a new detection algorithm called HVDetFusion, which is a multi-modal detection algorithm that not only supports pure camera data as input for detection, but also can perform fusion input of radar data and camera data. The camera stream does not depend on the input of Radar data, thus addressing the downside of previous methods. In the pure camera stream, we modify the framework of Bevdet4D for better perception and more efficient inference, and this stream has the whole 3D detection output. Further, to incorporate the benefits of Radar signals, we use the prior information of different object positions to filter the false positive information of the original radar data, according to the positioning information and radial velocity information recorded by the radar sensors to supplement and fuse the BEV features generated by the original camera data, and the effect is further improved in the process of fusion training. Finally, HVDetFusion achieves the new state-of-the-art 67.4\% NDS on the challenging nuScenes test set among all camera-radar 3D object detectors.

Intelligent Pathological Diagnosis of Gestational Trophoblastic Diseases via Visual-Language Deep Learning Model

Yuhang Liu, Yueyang Cang, Wenge Que et al.

The pathological diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease(GTD) takes a long time, relies heavily on the experience of pathologists, and the consistency of initial diagnosis is low, which seriously threatens maternal health and reproductive outcomes. We developed an expert model for GTD pathological diagnosis, named GTDoctor. GTDoctor can perform pixel-based lesion segmentation on pathological slides, and output diagnostic conclusions and personalized pathological analysis results. We developed a software system, GTDiagnosis, based on this technology and conducted clinical trials. The retrospective results demonstrated that GTDiagnosis achieved a mean precision of over 0.91 for lesion detection in pathological slides (n=679 slides). In prospective studies, pathologists using GTDiagnosis attained a Positive Predictive Value of 95.59% (n=68 patients). The tool reduced average diagnostic time from 56 to 16 seconds per case (n=285 patients). GTDoctor and GTDiagnosis offer a novel solution for GTD pathological diagnosis, enhancing diagnostic performance and efficiency while maintaining clinical interpretability.

Graph-GRPO: Stabilizing Multi-Agent Topology Learning via Group Relative Policy Optimization

Yueyang Cang, Xiaoteng Zhang, Erlu Zhao et al.

Optimizing communication topology is fundamental to the efficiency and effectiveness of Large Language Model (LLM)-based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). While recent approaches utilize reinforcement learning to dynamically construct task-specific graphs, they typically rely on single-sample policy gradients with absolute rewards (e.g., binary correctness). This paradigm suffers from severe gradient variance and the credit assignment problem: simple queries yield non-informative positive rewards for suboptimal structures, while difficult queries often result in failures that provide no learning signal. To address these challenges, we propose Graph-GRPO, a novel topology optimization framework that integrates Group Relative Policy Optimization. Instead of evaluating a single topology in isolation, Graph-GRPO samples a group of diverse communication graphs for each query and computes the advantage of specific edges based on their relative performance within the group. By normalizing rewards across the sampled group, our method effectively mitigates the noise derived from task difficulty variance and enables fine-grained credit assignment. Extensive experiments on reasoning and code generation benchmarks demonstrate that Graph-GRPO significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving superior training stability and identifying critical communication pathways previously obscured by reward noise.

TSOM: Small Object Motion Detection Neural Network Inspired by Avian Visual Circuit

Pignge Hu, Xiaoteng Zhang, Mengmeng Li et al.

Detecting small moving objects in complex backgrounds from an overhead perspective is a highly challenging task for machine vision systems. As an inspiration from nature, the avian visual system is capable of processing motion information in various complex aerial scenes, and its Retina-OT-Rt visual circuit is highly sensitive to capturing the motion information of small objects from high altitudes. However, more needs to be done on small object motion detection algorithms based on the avian visual system. In this paper, we conducted mathematical modeling based on extensive studies of the biological mechanisms of the Retina-OT-Rt visual circuit. Based on this, we proposed a novel tectum small object motion detection neural network (TSOM). The neural network includes the retina, SGC dendritic, SGC Soma, and Rt layers, each layer corresponding to neurons in the visual pathway. The Retina layer is responsible for accurately projecting input content, the SGC dendritic layer perceives and encodes spatial-temporal information, the SGC Soma layer computes complex motion information and extracts small objects, and the Rt layer integrates and decodes motion information from multiple directions to determine the position of small objects. Extensive experiments on pigeon neurophysiological experiments and image sequence data showed that the TSOM is biologically interpretable and effective in extracting reliable small object motion features from complex high-altitude backgrounds.

Qiniu Submission to ActivityNet Challenge 2018

Xiaoteng Zhang, Yixin Bao, Feiyun Zhang et al.

In this paper, we introduce our submissions for the tasks of trimmed activity recognition (Kinetics) and trimmed event recognition (Moments in Time) for Activitynet Challenge 2018. In the two tasks, non-local neural networks and temporal segment networks are implemented as our base models. Multi-modal cues such as RGB image, optical flow and acoustic signal have also been used in our method. We also propose new non-local-based models for further improvement on the recognition accuracy. The final submissions after ensembling the models achieve 83.5% top-1 accuracy and 96.8% top-5 accuracy on the Kinetics validation set, 35.81% top-1 accuracy and 62.59% top-5 accuracy on the MIT validation set.
