Just Shift It: Test-Time Prototype Shifting for Zero-Shot Generalization with Vision-Language Models
Advancements in vision-language models (VLMs) have propelled the field of computer vision, particularly in the zero-shot learning setting. Despite their promise, the effectiveness of these models often diminishes due to domain shifts in test environments. To address this, we introduce the Test-Time Prototype Shifting (TPS) framework, a pioneering approach designed to adapt VLMs to test datasets using unlabeled test inputs. Our method is based on the notion of modulating per-class prototypes in …

A dieci anni dall’epidemia di Ebola più letale che colpì tre paesi dell’Africa occidentale causando undicimila vittime, Msf fa un appello per creare una scorta internazionale di emergenza dei due farmaci disponibili e chiede la sospensione dei diritti di proprietŠ intellettuale su farmaci e vaccini

Ebola: farmaci efficaci ma inaccessibili. Per Msf va istituita una "scorta internazionale"
A dieci anni dall’epidemia di Ebola più letale e che colpì tre Paesi dell’Africa occidentale causando 11mila vittime, l'accesso a farmaci e vaccini resta limitato. L'appello dell'organizzazione per forniture e distribuzioni rapide dei due farmaci disponibili, attualmente sotto il controllo esclusivo delle due aziende produttrici

Weighted Catalan convolution and $(q,2)$-Fock space
Motivated by the study of certain combinatorial properties of $(q,2)$-Fock space, we compute explicitly a sequence driven by the Catalan's convolution and parameterized by $1+q$. As an application of this explicit form, we calculate the number of pair partitions involved in the determination of the vacuum--moments of the field operator defined on the $(q,2)$-Fock space.

@… I haven’t spent time in the API myself, but it seems that ARKit should be able to do this on iOS/iPadOS. I bet it’s more a matter of nobody seeing the point, until the dedicated device came along.
We can hope that exciting developments from Vision Pro get “back ported” as apps on these devices as well.

On the field independent additive constant in Wilson actions
We discuss the field independent additive constant in Wilson actions carefully within the exact renormalization group formalism. The additive constant does not affect the correlation functions of fields normalized by the partition function, and for that reason it is often ignored. But it is an essential part of the partition function, and in the limit where the UV cutoff goes to zero, the constant gives a renormalized vacuum energy density. We discuss two concrete examples: the Gaussian theory …

See Spot Guide: Accessible Interfaces for an Assistive Quadruped Robot
While there is no replacement for the learned expertise, devotion, and social benefits of a guide dog, there are cases in which a robot navigation assistant could be helpful for individuals with blindness or low vision (BLV). This study investigated the potential for an industrial agile robot to perform guided navigation tasks. We developed two interface prototypes that allowed for spatial information between a human-robot pair: a voice-based app and a flexible, responsive handle. The participa…

PromptSync: Bridging Domain Gaps in Vision-Language Models through Class-Aware Prototype Alignment and Discrimination
The potential for zero-shot generalization in vision-language (V-L) models such as CLIP has spurred their widespread adoption in addressing numerous downstream tasks. Previous methods have employed test-time prompt tuning to adapt the model to unseen domains, but they overlooked the issue of imbalanced class distributions. In this study, we explicitly address this problem by employing class-aware prototype alignment weighted by mean class probabilities obtained for the test sample and filtered …
