Real-Time Human Detection for Aerial Captured Video Sequences via Deep Models

arXiv:2601.00391v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human detection in videos plays an important role in various real-life applications. Most traditional approaches depend on utilizing handcrafted features, which are problem-dependent and optimal for specific tasks. Moreover, they are highly susceptible to dynamical…

The Curse of Depth in Large Language Models

arXiv:2502.05795v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the Curse of Depth, a concept that highlights, explains, and addresses the recent observation in modern Large Language Models (LLMs) where nearly half of the layers are less effective than…

Flattening Hierarchies with Policy Bootstrapping

arXiv:2505.14975v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning (GCRL) is a promising approach for pretraining generalist policies on large datasets of reward-free trajectories, akin to the self-supervised objectives used to train foundation models for computer vision and natural language…

Generative Conditional Missing Imputation Networks

arXiv:2601.00517v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this study, we introduce a sophisticated generative conditional strategy designed to impute missing values within datasets, an area of considerable importance in statistical analysis. Specifically, we initially elucidate the theoretical underpinnings of the Generative…

Support Vector Machine Kernels as Quantum Propagators

arXiv:2502.11153v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Selecting optimal kernels for regression in physical systems remains a challenge, often relying on trial-and-error with standard functions. In this work, we establish a mathematical correspondence between support vector machine kernels and quantum propagators, demonstrating…

Reinforcement Learning with Function Approximation for Non-Markov Processes

arXiv:2601.00151v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study reinforcement learning methods with linear function approximation under non-Markov state and cost processes. We first consider the policy evaluation method and show that the algorithm converges under suitable ergodicity conditions on the underlying…

Information-Theoretic Quality Metric of Low-Dimensional Embeddings

arXiv:2512.23981v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this work we study the quality of low-dimensional embeddings from an explicitly information-theoretic perspective. We begin by noting that classical evaluation metrics such as stress, rank-based neighborhood criteria, or Local Procrustes quantify distortions in…
