Data-Efficient Spectral Classification of Hyperspectral Data Using MiniROCKET and HDC-MiniROCKET
The classification of pixel spectra of hyperspectral images, i.e. spectral classification, is used in many fields ranging from agricultural, over medical to remote sensing applications and is currently also expanding to areas such as autonomous driving. Even though for full hyperspectral images the best-performing methods exploit spatial-spectral information, performing classification solely on spectral information has its own advantages, e.g. smaller model size and thus less data required for …

Generalize across Homophily and Heterophily: Hybrid Spectral Graph Pre-Training and Prompt Tuning
Graph ``pre-training and prompt-tuning'' aligns downstream tasks with pre-trained objectives to enable efficient knowledge transfer under limited supervision. However, existing methods rely on homophily-based low-frequency knowledge, failing to handle diverse spectral distributions in real-world graphs with varying homophily. Our theoretical analysis reveals a spectral specificity principle: optimal knowledge transfer requires alignment between pre-trained spectral filters and the intrinsic spe…

Le problème, ce sont les médias qui offrent une plateforme pour des propos complètement hurluberlus et ridicules. Les guignols dans le flux normal des actualités. Faudrait faire un content warning comme chez Mastodon.

Eric Ciotti, patron de l'Union des droites, propose un contre-budget à Sébastien Lecornu pour économiser 120 m
Ces économies seraient réalisées sur l'immigration, la politique sociale ou encore la contribution de la France au budget de l'Union européenne.
