CineScale: Free Lunch in High-Resolution Cinematic Visual Generation
Visual diffusion models achieve remarkable progress, yet they are typically trained at limited resolutions due to the lack of high-resolution data and constrained computation resources, hampering their ability to generate high-fidelity images or videos at higher resolutions. Recent efforts have explored tuning-free strategies to exhibit the untapped potential higher-resolution visual generation of pre-trained models. However, these methods are still prone to producing low-quality visual content…

Yesterday was leaving certificate results day, and for the first time in 29 years it had some domestic relevance. Once it was comfortably established that my son's results were going to see him go on to his choice of third level course, I felt oddly off-kilter.
The Leaving Cert results are a moment where all of the kids your child has grown up with, and who you are (to a greater or lessor extent) aware of as their friends suddenly, all at once, jump forward to a new stage in their…

RARE-UNet: Resolution-Aligned Routing Entry for Adaptive Medical Image Segmentation
Accurate segmentation is crucial for clinical applications, but existing models often assume fixed, high-resolution inputs and degrade significantly when faced with lower-resolution data in real-world scenarios. To address this limitation, we propose RARE-UNet, a resolution-aware multi-scale segmentation architecture that dynamically adapts its inference path to the spatial resolution of the input. Central to our design are multi-scale blocks integrated at multiple encoder depths, a resolution-…

Trump’s AI Action Plan Is a Crusade Against ‘Bias’—and Regulation
The Trump administration’s new AI policy blueprint calls for limited regulation and lots of leeway for Big Tech to grow even bigger.

FDA’s artificial intelligence is supposed to revolutionize drug approvals. It’s making up studies
Insiders tell CNN the FDA’s AI is “hallucinating” studies and can’t access key documents. Agency leaders insist the AI is getting better, and use is not mandatory.
