Evaluation-Recording Contamination in Learned Nano-Quadrotor Dynamics: A Fresh-Seed Audit

Abstract: Learned flight-dynamics models are often trained on short windows extracted from longer recordings. Randomly splitting these windows can place dependent samples from the same physical flight in both training and evaluation sets. We audit this issue using a fixed snapshot of the NanoBench Crazyflie 2.1 dataset. The experiment holds evaluation flights, rollout starts, training-window count, validation data, and optimization budget fixed. In the contaminated protocol, [LeakagePercent] percent of a recording-disjoint training set is replaced with windows from evaluation recordings, while both arms use the same clean validation set. We compare a world-coordinate delta multilayer perceptron with a relative-coordinate control across [NumSeeds] fresh training seeds and [NumEvalFlights] complete evaluation recordings. The primary endpoint is failure-aware position RMSE over 1-second rollouts, analyzed with paired crossed recording-by-seed inference. Contamination lowers apparent world-model error by 12.1 percent, from 0.299 m to 0.262 m, but the predeclared 95 percent confidence interval for contaminated minus disjoint error is -0.0735 to 0.0011 m. Because the interval crosses zero, the confirmatory result is negative. Secondary horizons and the relative-coordinate model show similar trends, but no coordinate-representation interaction is supported. Reliable leakage assessment therefore requires recording-level splits, failure-aware rollouts, replication across fresh seeds, and inference over both recordings and optimization seeds.

Abstract: Radio Frequency Fingerprint Identification (RFFI) enables transmitter identification at the physical layer by learning device-specific impairments from received signals, yet the literature is inconsistent about where in the receiver chain those samples should be collected. Since distinct transformations are applied to the signal by the different receiver operations, i.e., carrier recovery, gain normalization, pulse shaping, and timing recovery, they can either tighten within-transmitter variability or suppress the features RFFI requires for classification. We present a systematic real-world evaluation of open-set, reconstruction-error RFFI using data collected at five probe points along a standard BPSK receiver chain. Our results show that RFFI is strongly probe-dependent: timing recovery and, to a lesser extent, carrier recovery enable low false-acceptance operation with limited in-distribution-out-of-distribution overlap, whereas other stages often require a false-acceptance ratio above 0.1 to achieve a true-acceptance ratio of 0.9. To test the validity of our findings across model selection, we benchmark several LLM-designed autoencoders using a controlled pipeline that holds preprocessing and MSE scoring fixed. These architectures confirm that RFFI is probe-dependent. Moreover, they do not outperform the baseline at the chosen operating point and typically increase training time. Overall, probe selection dominates reconstruction-based open-set RFFI performance, more than the autoencoder complexity.

Toward a mechanistic understanding of inference in visual cortex and diffusion models
Zeyu Yun, Alexander Belsten, Dasheng Bi, Zahra Kadkhodaie, Yubei Chen, Bruno A. Olshausen
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.15693 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.15693 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.15693
arXiv:2607.15693v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We describe a model of perceptual inference in primary visual cortex (V1) equivalent to a minimal diffusion model whose function can be readily understood from its parameters. The model is based on sparse coding with a non-factorial prior over latent variables in the form of an unconstrained, pairwise interaction matrix, extending standard sparse coding inference to a general recurrent dynamical system. We efficiently train these recurrent dynamics using a denoising score-matching objective and implicit differentiation. After training on natural images, the learned interaction matrix mirrors the structure of horizontal connections in superficial layers of V1 that link neurons of similar orientation tuning. This model exhibits exceptionally good denoising performance, restoring image features such as extended contours amid extreme visual ambiguity, nearly matching the behavior of standard, black-box diffusion architectures in generalization regime. Owing to the model's simplicity, the network's Jacobian can be decomposed directly in terms of the interaction matrix between latent variables, revealing mechanistically how the recurrent dynamics assign high probability over a continuous family of natural structural deformations. Intriguingly, within this circuit, a large fraction of latent variables learn to disconnect from visual input altogether, essentially forming a hierarchical representation that appears to enforce global consistency among image features. Together, the model and results bridge two distinct domains: for neuroscience, it generates concrete, testable hypotheses regarding functional connectivity in recurrent neural circuits during perceptual inference tasks; for machine learning, it elucidates the internal mechanisms learned by diffusion models that allow them to generate infinitely many novel images from a finite training set.

Hyperspectral Calibration Detection: A Novel Concept For Change Detection With Unsupervised Incremental Safe Pseudo-Labeling Implementation
Chia-Hsiang Lin, Shih-Min Hsu, Ching-Yun Liang, Jocelyn Chanussot, Jhih-Yan Chen
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.06028 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.06028 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.06028
arXiv:2608.06028v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Hyperspectral change detection (HCD) has found numerous key applications, such as land cover monitoring. The majority of benchmark HCD algorithms are semi-supervised methods, and some of them can even achieve very low sample labeling rates. However, in some practical scenarios, such as those requiring immediate detection responses for onboard edge computing, we need to achieve the zero-label requirement as ground-truth labeling would not be available onboard for newly acquired images. In this work, we propose a fully unsupervised HCD algorithm, together with a lightweight model, quite suitable for onboard detection missions. Based on an iteratively augmented training set that safely collects some unchanged pixel samples, we learn an iteratively refined spectrum calibration function that eventually compensates the variability of acquisition conditions (often observed in bitemporal images), thereby making the changed pixels easily detectable by analyzing the calibrated spectra. The proposed hyperspectral looping unsupervised calibration and incremental detection (HyperLUCID) algorithm is not only computationally efficient (around 1 to 2 orders of magnitude faster than most benchmark HCD methods), but has also achieved state-of-the-art results (around 93.6% to 97.9% overall accuracy) on several real benchmark HCD datasets.

Estimating stellar metallicities from Gaia DR3 XP data using LAMOST DR10

Abstract: Gaia DR3 provides astrophysical parameters for hundreds of millions of stars, but the metallicities [M/H] from its GSP-Phot module suffer from systematic biases. We estimate stellar metallicities from Gaia DR3 data using the homogeneous spectroscopic iron abundances [Fe/H] of LAMOST DR10 as training labels. We cross-matched LAMOST DR10 with Gaia DR3 and trained a gradient-boosted decision-tree regressor (XGBoost) on 1.20 million AFGK stars using only Gaia-derived inputs and proxies. We validated the estimates on held-out LAMOST stars, GALAH DR4, APOGEE DR17, and 46 open clusters, and applied the model to measure the radial metallicity gradient of the Milky Way disk. On the held-out test set, the model achieves a mean absolute error of 0.052 dex and $R^2=0.94$ with negligible bias, compared with 0.242 dex for GSP-Phot on the same stars. The estimates transfer well to external surveys, with mean absolute errors of 0.066 dex for GALAH and 0.068 dex for APOGEE. For open clusters, the median difference between our estimated [Fe/H] and spectroscopic values is 0.041 dex, smaller than both GSP-Phot (0.248 dex) and a previous APOGEE-trained XGBoost model (0.067 dex). Applied to the Galactic disk, our model recovers a broken thin-disk radial gradient, with inner and outer slopes of $ 0.119$ and $-0.058\,\mathrm{dex\,kpc^{-1}}$, respectively, and a break near 5.9 kpc, as well as an open-cluster gradient of $-0.066\,\mathrm{dex\,kpc^{-1}}$; both agree with previous high-resolution spectroscopic studies. Our [Fe/H] estimates are accurate to 0.05-0.07 dex for AFGK stars with $[\mathrm{Fe/H}]\gtrsim-2.5$; below this limit, the predictions should be treated as lower bounds. The catalogue and trained model are publicly available on Zenodo and are suitable for chemical studies of the Milky Way.
