Delineating farmland boundaries is essential for agricultural management such as crop monitoring and agricultural census. Traditional methods using remote sensing imagery have been efficient but limited in generalisation. The Segment Anything Model (SAM), known for its impressive zero shot performance, has been adapted for remote sensing tasks through prompt learning and fine tuning. Here, we propose a SAM based farmland boundary delineation framework 'fabSAM' that combines a Deeplabv3+ based Prompter and SAM. Also, a fine tuning strategy was introduced to enable SAMs decoder to improve the use of prompt information. Experimental results on the AI4Boundaries and AI4SmallFarms datasets have shown that fabSAM has a significant improvement in farmland region identification and boundary delineation. Compared to zero shot SAM, fabSAM surpassed it by 23.5% and 15.1% in mIOU on the AI4Boundaries and AI4SmallFarms datasets, respectively. For Deeplabv3+, fabSAM outperformed it by 4.9% and 12.5% in mIOU, respectively. These results highlight the effectiveness of fabSAM, which also means that we can more easily obtain the global farmland region and boundary maps from open source satellite image datasets like Sentinel2.

Accurate drug response prediction (DRP) is a crucial yet challenging task in precision medicine. This paper presents a novel Attention-Guided Multi-omics Integration (AGMI) approach for DRP, which first constructs a Multi-edge Graph (MeG) for each cell line, and then aggregates multi-omics features to predict drug response using a novel structure, called Graph edge-aware Network (GeNet). For the first time, our AGMI approach explores gene constraint based multi-omics integration for DRP with the whole-genome using GNNs. Empirical experiments on the CCLE and GDSC datasets show that our AGMI largely outperforms state-of-the-art DRP methods by 8.3%--34.2% on four metrics. Our data and code are available at https://github.com/yivan-WYYGDSG/AGMI.

Overparameterized neural networks often show a benign overfitting property in the sense of achieving excellent generalization behavior despite the number of parameters exceeding the number of training examples. A promising direction to explain benign overfitting is to relate generalization to the norm of distance from initialization, motivated by the empirical observations that this distance is often significantly smaller than the norm itself. However, the existing initialization-dependent complexity analyses cannot fully exploit the power of initialization since the associated bounds depend on the spectral norm of the initialization matrix, which can scale as a square-root function of the width and are therefore not effective for overparameterized models. In this paper, we develop the first \emph{fully} initialization-dependent complexity bounds for shallow neural networks with general Lipschitz activation functions, which enjoys a logarithmic dependency on the width. Our bounds depend on the path-norm of the distance from initialization, which are derived by introducing a new peeling technique to handle the challenge along with the initialization-dependent constraint. We also develop a lower bound tight up to a constant factor. Finally, we conduct empirical comparisons and show that our generalization analysis implies non-vacuous bounds for overparameterized networks.

Infrared and visible image fusion (IVIF) is a pivotal technology in low-altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) reconnaissance missions, enabling robust target detection and tracking by integrating thermal saliency with environmental textures. However, traditional no-reference metrics (Statistics-based metrics and Gradient-based metrics) fail in complex low-light environments, termed the ``Noise Trap''. This paper mathematically prove that these metrics are positively correlated with high-frequency sensor noise, paradoxically assigning higher scores to degraded images and misguiding algorithm optimization. To address this, we propose the Target-Background Contrast (TBC) metric. Inspired by Weber's Law, TBC focuses on the relative contrast of salient targets rather than global statistics. Unlike traditional metrics, TBC penalizes background noise and rewards target visibility. Extensive experiments on the DroneVehicle dataset demonstrate the superiority of TBC. Results show that TBC exhibits high ``Semantic Discriminability'' in distinguishing thermal targets from background clutter. Furthermore, TBC achieves remarkable computational efficiency, making it a reliable and real-time standard for intelligent UAV systems.
