TransFA: Transformer-based Representation for Face Attribute EvaluationDecheng Liu, Weijie He, Chunlei Peng et al.
Face attribute evaluation plays an important role in video surveillance and face analysis. Although methods based on convolution neural networks have made great progress, they inevitably only deal with one local neighborhood with convolutions at a time. Besides, existing methods mostly regard face attribute evaluation as the individual multi-label classification task, ignoring the inherent relationship between semantic attributes and face identity information. In this paper, we propose a novel \textbf{trans}former-based representation for \textbf{f}ace \textbf{a}ttribute evaluation method (\textbf{TransFA}), which could effectively enhance the attribute discriminative representation learning in the context of attention mechanism. The multiple branches transformer is employed to explore the inter-correlation between different attributes in similar semantic regions for attribute feature learning. Specially, the hierarchical identity-constraint attribute loss is designed to train the end-to-end architecture, which could further integrate face identity discriminative information to boost performance. Experimental results on multiple face attribute benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed TransFA achieves superior performances compared with state-of-the-art methods.

Hybrid Mask Generation for Infrared Small Target Detection with Single-Point SupervisionWeijie He, Mushui Liu, Yunlong Yu
Single-frame infrared small target (SIRST) detection poses a significant challenge due to the requirement to discern minute targets amidst complex infrared background clutter. In this paper, we focus on a weakly-supervised paradigm to obtain high-quality pseudo masks from the point-level annotation by integrating a novel learning-free method with the hybrid of the learning-based method. The learning-free method adheres to a sequential process, progressing from a point annotation to the bounding box that encompasses the target, and subsequently to detailed pseudo masks, while the hybrid is achieved through filtering out false alarms and retrieving missed detections in the network's prediction to provide a reliable supplement for learning-free masks. The experimental results show that our learning-free method generates pseudo masks with an average Intersection over Union (IoU) that is 4.3% higher than the second-best learning-free competitor across three datasets, while the hybrid learning-based method further enhances the quality of pseudo masks, achieving an additional average IoU increase of 3.4%.
CoAR: Concept Injection into Autoregressive Models for Personalized Text-to-Image GenerationFangtai Wu, Mushui Liu, Weijie He et al.
The unified autoregressive (AR) model excels at multimodal understanding and generation, but its potential for customized image generation remains underexplored. Existing customized generation methods rely on full fine-tuning or adapters, making them costly and prone to overfitting or catastrophic forgetting. In this paper, we propose \textbf{CoAR}, a novel framework for injecting subject concepts into the unified AR models while keeping all pre-trained parameters completely frozen. CoAR learns effective, specific subject representations with only a minimal number of parameters using a Layerwise Multimodal Context Learning strategy. To address overfitting and language drift, we further introduce regularization that preserves the pre-trained distribution and anchors context tokens to improve subject fidelity and re-contextualization. Additionally, CoAR supports training-free subject customization in a user-provided style. Experiments demonstrate that CoAR achieves superior performance on both subject-driven personalization and style personalization, while delivering significant gains in computational and memory efficiency. Notably, CoAR tunes less than \textbf{0.05\%} of the parameters while achieving competitive performance compared to recent Proxy-Tuning. Code: https://github.com/KZF-kzf/CoAR

Integrating Medical Imaging and Clinical Reports Using Multimodal Deep Learning for Advanced Disease AnalysisZiyan Yao, Fei Lin, Sheng Chai et al.
In this paper, an innovative multi-modal deep learning model is proposed to deeply integrate heterogeneous information from medical images and clinical reports. First, for medical images, convolutional neural networks were used to extract high-dimensional features and capture key visual information such as focal details, texture and spatial distribution. Secondly, for clinical report text, a two-way long and short-term memory network combined with an attention mechanism is used for deep semantic understanding, and key statements related to the disease are accurately captured. The two features interact and integrate effectively through the designed multi-modal fusion layer to realize the joint representation learning of image and text. In the empirical study, we selected a large medical image database covering a variety of diseases, combined with corresponding clinical reports for model training and validation. The proposed multimodal deep learning model demonstrated substantial superiority in the realms of disease classification, lesion localization, and clinical description generation, as evidenced by the experimental results.

Deep Learning with HM-VGG: AI Strategies for Multi-modal Image AnalysisJunliang Du, Yiru Cang, Tong Zhou et al.
This study introduces the Hybrid Multi-modal VGG (HM-VGG) model, a cutting-edge deep learning approach for the early diagnosis of glaucoma. The HM-VGG model utilizes an attention mechanism to process Visual Field (VF) data, enabling the extraction of key features that are vital for identifying early signs of glaucoma. Despite the common reliance on large annotated datasets, the HM-VGG model excels in scenarios with limited data, achieving remarkable results with small sample sizes. The model's performance is underscored by its high metrics in Precision, Accuracy, and F1-Score, indicating its potential for real-world application in glaucoma detection. The paper also discusses the challenges associated with ophthalmic image analysis, particularly the difficulty of obtaining large volumes of annotated data. It highlights the importance of moving beyond single-modality data, such as VF or Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images alone, to a multimodal approach that can provide a richer, more comprehensive dataset. This integration of different data types is shown to significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy. The HM- VGG model offers a promising tool for doctors, streamlining the diagnostic process and improving patient outcomes. Furthermore, its applicability extends to telemedicine and mobile healthcare, making diagnostic services more accessible. The research presented in this paper is a significant step forward in the field of medical image processing and has profound implications for clinical ophthalmology.

Deep Learning in Image Classification: Evaluating VGG19's Performance on Complex Visual DataWeijie He, Tong Zhou, Yanlin Xiang et al.
This study aims to explore the automatic classification method of pneumonia X-ray images based on VGG19 deep convolutional neural network, and evaluate its application effect in pneumonia diagnosis by comparing with classic models such as SVM, XGBoost, MLP, and ResNet50. The experimental results show that VGG19 performs well in multiple indicators such as accuracy (92%), AUC (0.95), F1 score (0.90) and recall rate (0.87), which is better than other comparison models, especially in image feature extraction and classification accuracy. Although ResNet50 performs well in some indicators, it is slightly inferior to VGG19 in recall rate and F1 score. Traditional machine learning models SVM and XGBoost are obviously limited in image classification tasks, especially in complex medical image analysis tasks, and their performance is relatively mediocre. The research results show that deep learning, especially convolutional neural networks, have significant advantages in medical image classification tasks, especially in pneumonia X-ray image analysis, and can provide efficient and accurate automatic diagnosis support. This research provides strong technical support for the early detection of pneumonia and the development of automated diagnosis systems and also lays the foundation for further promoting the application and development of automated medical image processing technology.

Light-Weight Cross-Modal Enhancement Method with Benchmark Construction for UAV-based Open-Vocabulary Object DetectionZhenhai Weng, Xinjie Li, Can Wu et al.
Open-Vocabulary Object Detection (OVD) faces severe performance degradation when applied to UAV imagery due to the domain gap from ground-level datasets. To address this challenge, we propose a complete UAV-oriented solution that combines both dataset construction and model innovation. First, we design a refined UAV-Label Engine, which efficiently resolves annotation redundancy, inconsistency, and ambiguity, enabling the generation of largescale UAV datasets. Based on this engine, we construct two new benchmarks: UAVDE-2M, with over 2.4M instances across 1,800+ categories, and UAVCAP-15K, providing rich image-text pairs for vision-language pretraining. Second, we introduce the Cross-Attention Gated Enhancement (CAGE) module, a lightweight dual-path fusion design that integrates cross-attention, adaptive gating, and global FiLM modulation for robust textvision alignment. By embedding CAGE into the YOLO-World-v2 framework, our method achieves significant gains in both accuracy and efficiency, notably improving zero-shot detection on VisDrone by +5.3 mAP while reducing parameters and GFLOPs, and demonstrating strong cross-domain generalization on SIMD. Extensive experiments and real-world UAV deployment confirm the effectiveness and practicality of our proposed solution for UAV-based OVD
