In this paper, we investigate that the normalized coordinate expression is a key factor as reliance on hand-crafted components in query-based detectors for temporal action detection (TAD). Despite significant advancements towards an end-to-end framework in object detection, query-based detectors have been limited in achieving full end-to-end modeling in TAD. To address this issue, we propose \modelname{}, a full end-to-end temporal action detection transformer that integrates time-aligned coordinate expression. We reformulate coordinate expression utilizing actual timeline values, ensuring length-invariant representations from the extremely diverse video duration environment. Furthermore, our proposed adaptive query selection dynamically adjusts the number of queries based on video length, providing a suitable solution for varying video durations compared to a fixed query set. Our approach not only simplifies the TAD process by eliminating the need for hand-crafted components but also significantly improves the performance of query-based detectors. Our TE-TAD outperforms the previous query-based detectors and achieves competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art methods on popular benchmark datasets.

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have become a powerful framework for solving PDEs by embedding physical laws into differentiable objectives. Despite their advances, training PINNs remains fragile: recent conflict-averse optimization schemes alleviate gradient interference between residual and boundary losses, but we show that their effectiveness deteriorates as model capacity increases. In this paper, we identify a capacity-induced failure mode, where overparameterized networks undergo functional modularity, self-partitioning into task-exclusive modules that suppress cross-objective interaction and hinder convergence toward Pareto-stationary points. To address this issue, we propose a novel framework, Modular-Sparsity Synchronization (ModSync), which integrates structural optimization into conflict-averse training by penalizing task-exclusive connections while preserving interaction-promoting pathways. Extensive experiments across diverse PDE benchmarks demonstrate that ModSync consistently prevents capacity-driven failures, sustains robust cross-objective coupling, and achieves state-of-the-art accuracy.

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) approximate solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs) by embedding physical laws into the loss function. In parameterized PDE families, variations in coefficients or boundary/initial conditions define distinct tasks. This makes training individual PINNs for each task computationally prohibitive, while cross-task transfer can be sensitive to task heterogeneity. While meta-learning can reduce retraining cost, existing methods often rely on a single global initialization and may suffer from negative transfer, particularly under feature-scarce coordinate inputs and limited training-task availability. We propose the Learning-Affinity Adaptive Modular Physics-Informed Neural Network (LAM-PINN), a compositional framework that leverages task-specific learning dynamics. LAM-PINN combines PDE parameters with learning-affinity metrics from brief transfer sessions to construct a task representation and cluster tasks even with coordinate-only inputs. It decomposes the model into cluster-specialized subnetworks and a shared meta network, and learns routing weights to selectively reuse modules instead of relying on a single global initialization. Across three PDE benchmarks, LAM-PINN achieves an average 19.7-fold reduction in mean squared error (MSE) on unseen tasks using only 10% of the training iterations required by conventional PINNs. These results indicate its effectiveness for generalization to unseen configurations within bounded design spaces of parameterized PDE families in resource-constrained engineering settings.
