SecONNds: Secure Outsourced Neural Network Inference on ImageNet
The widespread adoption of outsourced neural network inference presents significant privacy challenges, as sensitive user data is processed on untrusted remote servers. Secure inference offers a privacy-preserving solution, but existing frameworks suffer from high computational overhead and communication costs, rendering them impractical for real-world deployment. We introduce SecONNds, a non-intrusive secure inference framework optimized for large ImageNet-scale Convolutional Neural Networks. …

Franca: Nested Matryoshka Clustering for Scalable Visual Representation Learning
We present Franca (pronounced Fran-ka): free one; the first fully open-source (data, code, weights) vision foundation model that matches and in many cases surpasses the performance of state-of-the-art proprietary models, e.g., DINOv2, CLIP, SigLIPv2, etc. Our approach is grounded in a transparent training pipeline inspired by Web-SSL and uses publicly available data: ImageNet-21K and a subset of ReLAION-2B. Beyond model release, we tackle critical limitations in SSL clustering methods. While mo…

Med-URWKV: Pure RWKV With ImageNet Pre-training For Medical Image Segmentation
Medical image segmentation is a fundamental and key technology in computer-aided diagnosis and treatment. Previous methods can be broadly classified into three categories: convolutional neural network (CNN) based, Transformer based, and hybrid architectures that combine both. However, each of them has its own limitations, such as restricted receptive fields in CNNs or the computational overhead caused by the quadratic complexity of Transformers. Recently, the Receptance Weighted Key Value (RWKV…

Text-Guided Token Communication for Wireless Image Transmission
With the emergence of 6G networks and proliferation of visual applications, efficient image transmission under adverse channel conditions is critical. We present a text-guided token communication system leveraging pre-trained foundation models for wireless image transmission with low bandwidth. Our approach converts images to discrete tokens, applies 5G NR polar coding, and employs text-guided token prediction for reconstruction. Evaluations on ImageNet show our method outperforms Deep Source C…

Large Language Models Facilitate Vision Reflection in Image Classification
This paper presents several novel findings on the explainability of vision reflection in large multimodal models (LMMs). First, we show that prompting an LMM to verify the prediction of a specialized vision model can improve recognition accuracy, even on benchmarks like ImageNet, despite prior evidence that LMMs typically underperform dedicated vision encoders. Second, we analyze the internal behavior of vision reflection and find that the vision-language connector maps visual features into exp…

Applying Vision Transformers on Spectral Analysis of Astronomical Objects
We apply pre-trained Vision Transformers (ViTs), originally developed for image recognition, to the analysis of astronomical spectral data. By converting traditional one-dimensional spectra into two-dimensional image representations, we enable ViTs to capture both local and global spectral features through spatial self-attention. We fine-tune a ViT pretrained on ImageNet using millions of spectra from the SDSS and LAMOST surveys, represented as spectral plots. Our model is evaluated on key task…
