Aesthetic Image Captioning with Saliency Enhanced MLLMs
Aesthetic Image Captioning (AIC) aims to generate textual descriptions of image aesthetics, becoming a key research direction in the field of computational aesthetics. In recent years, pretrained Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have advanced rapidly, leading to a significant increase in image aesthetics research that integrates both visual and textual modalities. However, most existing studies on image aesthetics primarily focus on predicting aesthetic ratings and have shown limited ap…

Die EU gerät beim Klimaschutz ins Schlingern
In letzter Minute einigen sich die EU-Länder auf Klimaziele. Aber die klare Linie fehlt, und das schadet der Wirtschaft.

Selenskyj: Mindestens fünf Menschen bei Angriffen Russlands getötet
Russland hat bei den schweren Luftangriffen auf die Energieinfrastruktur der Ukraine nach Angaben von Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj mindestens fünf Menschen getötet und weitere zehn verletzt. Laut Behörden starben allein in der Region Lwiw (Lemberg) im Westen der Ukraine an der polnischen Grenze vier Menschen.

One one side i'd rather have those large corporations spend their money in the economy instead of holding cash in the bank account of their billionnaire owners.
On the other hand, it's hard to think there is anything sustainable to the amount of money spent on AI right now.

67: The none-sensical viral phrase that Gen Alpha can’t stop saying
And now, its seems to be taking over OpenAI as well.
“GPT-6 will be renamed GPT-6-7, you’re welcome,”
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted to X on Friday.
Altman’s announcement comes just a couple of days after Dictionary.com named the slang 2025’s word of the year.
For those lucky enough to not be familiar with the term,
the Gen Alpha slang can be traced back to hip hop artist Skrilla’s late 20…

Did Sam Altman Just Figure out What 6-7 Means?
The OpenAI CEO announced it will rename GPT-6 to GPT-6-7 referencing the viral Gen Alpha slang. We don't know if he is kidding.

FastVGGT: Training-Free Acceleration of Visual Geometry Transformer
Foundation models for 3D vision have recently demonstrated remarkable capabilities in 3D perception. However, scaling these models to long-sequence image inputs remains a significant challenge due to inference-time inefficiency. In this work, we present a detailed analysis of VGGT, a state-of-the-art feed-forward visual geometry model and identify its primary bottleneck. Visualization further reveals a token collapse phenomenon in the attention maps. Motivated by these findings, we explore the …

Details zu dänisch-ukrainischer Treibstoff-Kooperation
Der ukrainische Rüstungskonzern Fire Point stellt künftig in Dänemark Treibstoff für Langstreckenraketen her und verlagert damit laut der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters als erstes solches Unternehmen seine Produktion ins Ausland. Den Angaben nach siedelt sich Fire Point in der Nähe des dänischen Luftwaffenstützpunkts Skydstrup an, wo die "F-16"-Kampfjetflotte des Landes stati…

Go with Your Gut: Scaling Confidence for Autoregressive Image Generation
Test-time scaling (TTS) has demonstrated remarkable success in enhancing large language models, yet its application to next-token prediction (NTP) autoregressive (AR) image generation remains largely uncharted. Existing TTS approaches for visual AR (VAR), which rely on frequent partial decoding and external reward models, are ill-suited for NTP-based image generation due to the inherent incompleteness of intermediate decoding results. To bridge this gap, we introduce ScalingAR, the first TTS fr…
