CIMAGE: Exploiting the Conditional Independence in Masked Graph Auto-encoders
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Recent Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) methods encapsulating relational information via masking in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown promising performance. However, most existing approaches rely on random masking strategies in either feature or graph space, which may fail to capture task-relevant information fully. We posit that this limitation stems from an inability to achieve minimum redundancy between masked and unmasked components while ensuring maximum relevance of both to potential downstream tasks. Conditional Independence (CI) inherently satisfies the minimum redundancy and maximum relevance criteria, but its application typically requires access to downstream labels. To address this challenge, we introduce CIMAGE, a novel approach that leverages Conditional Independence to guide an effective masking strategy within the latent space. CIMAGE utilizes CI-aware latent factor decomposition to generate two distinct contexts, leveraging high-confidence pseudo-labels derived from unsupervised graph clustering. In this framework, the pretext task involves reconstructing the masked second context solely from the information provided by the first context. Our theoretical analysis further supports the superiority of CIMAGE's novel CI-aware masking method by demonstrating that the learned embedding exhibits approximate linear separability, which enables accurate predictions for the downstream task. Comprehensive evaluations across diverse graph benchmarks illustrate the advantage of CIMAGE, with notably higher average rankings on node classification and link prediction tasks. Notably, our proposed model highlights the under-explored potential of CI in enhancing graph SSL methodologies and offers enriched insights for effective graph representation learning.
Evaluating Path Planning Strategies for Efficient Nitrate Sampling in Crop Rows
Venue: arXiv cs.RO 2025
Year: 2025

This paper presents a pipeline that combines high-resolution orthomosaic maps generated from UAS imagery with GPS-based global navigation to guide a skid-steered ground robot. We evaluated three path planning strategies: A* Graph search, Deep Q-learning (DQN) model, and Heuristic search, benchmarking them on planning time and success rate in realistic simulation environments. Experimental results reveal that the Heuristic search achieves the fastest planning times (0.28 ms) and a 100% success rate, while the A* approach delivers near-optimal performance, and the DQN model, despite its adaptability, incurs longer planning delays and occasional suboptimal routing. These results highlight the advantages of deterministic rule-based methods in geometrically constrained crop-row environments and lay the groundwork for future hybrid strategies in precision agriculture.
Visual and Text Prompt Segmentation: A Novel Multi-Model Framework for Remote Sensing
Venue: arXiv cs.MM 2025
Year: 2025

Pixel-level segmentation is essential in remote sensing, where foundational vision models like CLIP and Segment Anything Model(SAM) have demonstrated significant capabilities in zero-shot segmentation tasks. Despite their advances, challenges specific to remote sensing remain substantial. Firstly, The SAM without clear prompt constraints, often generates redundant masks, and making post-processing more complex. Secondly, the CLIP model, mainly designed for global feature alignment in foundational models, often overlooks local objects crucial to remote sensing. This oversight leads to inaccurate recognition or misplaced focus in multi-target remote sensing imagery. Thirdly, both models have not been pre-trained on multi-scale aerial views, increasing the likelihood of detection failures. To tackle these challenges, we introduce the innovative VTPSeg pipeline, utilizing the strengths of Grounding DINO, CLIP, and SAM for enhanced open-vocabulary image segmentation. The Grounding DINO+(GD+) module generates initial candidate bounding boxes, while the CLIP Filter++(CLIP++) module uses a combination of visual and textual prompts to refine and filter out irrelevant object bounding boxes, ensuring that only pertinent objects are considered. Subsequently, these refined bounding boxes serve as specific prompts for the FastSAM model, which executes precise segmentation. Our VTPSeg is validated by experimental and ablation study results on five popular remote sensing image segmentation datasets.
Accelerating Development in UAV Network Digital Twins with a Flexible Simulation Framework
Venue: arXiv cs.NI 2025
Year: 2025

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) enhance coverage and provide flexible deployment in 5G and next-generation wireless networks. The performance of such wireless networks can be improved by developing new navigation and wireless adaptation approaches in digital twins (DTs). However, challenges such as complex propagation conditions and hardware complexities in real-world scenarios introduce a realism gap with the DTs. Moreover, while using real-time full-stack protocols in DTs enables subsequent deployment and testing in a real-world environment, development in DTs requires high computational complexity and involves a long development time. In this paper, to accelerate the development cycle, we develop a measurement-calibrated Matlab-based simulation framework to replicate performance in a full-stack UAV wireless network DT. In particular, we use the DT from the NSF AERPAW platform and compare its reports with those generated by our developed simulation framework in wireless networks with similar settings. In both environments, we observe comparable results in terms of RSRP measurement, hence motivating iterative use of the developed simulation environment with the DT.
STRMs: Spatial Temporal Reasoning Models for Vision-Based Localization Rivaling GPS Precision
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

This paper explores vision-based localization through a biologically-inspired approach that mirrors how humans and animals link views or perspectives when navigating their world. We introduce two sequential generative models, VAE-RNN and VAE-Transformer, which transform first-person perspective (FPP) observations into global map perspective (GMP) representations and precise geographical coordinates. Unlike retrieval-based methods, our approach frames localization as a generative task, learning direct mappings between perspectives without relying on dense satellite image databases. We evaluate these models across two real-world environments: a university campus navigated by a Jackal robot and an urban downtown area navigated by a Tesla sedan. The VAE-Transformer achieves impressive precision, with median deviations of 2.29m (1.37% of environment size) and 4.45m (0.35% of environment size) respectively, outperforming both VAE-RNN and prior cross-view geo-localization approaches. Our comprehensive Localization Performance Characteristics (LPC) analysis demonstrates superior performance with the VAE-Transformer achieving an AUC of 0.777 compared to 0.295 for VIGOR 200 and 0.225 for TransGeo, establishing a new state-of-the-art in vision-based localization. In some scenarios, our vision-based system rivals commercial smartphone GPS accuracy (AUC of 0.797) while requiring 5x less GPU memory and delivering 3x faster inference than existing methods in cross-view geo-localization. These results demonstrate that models inspired by biological spatial navigation can effectively memorize complex, dynamic environments and provide precise localization with minimal computational resources.
Enhancing Sentiment Analysis through Multimodal Fusion: A BERT-DINOv2 Approach
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Multimodal sentiment analysis enhances conventional sentiment analysis, which traditionally relies solely on text, by incorporating information from different modalities such as images, text, and audio. This paper proposes a novel multimodal sentiment analysis architecture that integrates text and image data to provide a more comprehensive understanding of sentiments. For text feature extraction, we utilize BERT, a natural language processing model. For image feature extraction, we employ DINOv2, a vision-transformer-based model. The textual and visual latent features are integrated using proposed fusion techniques, namely the Basic Fusion Model, Self Attention Fusion Model, and Dual Attention Fusion Model. Experiments on three datasets, Memotion 7k dataset, MVSA single dataset, and MVSA multi dataset, demonstrate the viability and practicality of the proposed multimodal architecture.
Sustaining Human Agency, Attending to Its Cost: An Investigation into Generative AI Design for Non-Native Speakers' Language Use
Venue: arXiv cs.HC 2025
Year: 2025

AI systems and tools today can generate human-like expressions on behalf of people. It raises the crucial question about how to sustain human agency in AI-mediated communication. We investigated this question in the context of machine translation (MT) assisted conversations. Our participants included 45 dyads. Each dyad consisted of one new immigrant in the United States, who leveraged MT for English information seeking as a non-native speaker, and one local native speaker, who acted as the information provider. Non-native speakers could influence the English production of their message in one of three ways: labeling the quality of MT outputs, regular post-editing without additional hints, or augmented post-editing with LLM-generated hints. Our data revealed a greater exercise of non-native speakers' agency under the two post-editing conditions. This benefit, however, came at a significant cost to the dyadic-level communication performance. We derived insights for MT and other generative AI design from our findings.
Efficient Dataset Distillation through Low-Rank Space Sampling
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Huge amount of data is the key of the success of deep learning, however, redundant information impairs the generalization ability of the model and increases the burden of calculation. Dataset Distillation (DD) compresses the original dataset into a smaller but representative subset for high-quality data and efficient training strategies. Existing works for DD generate synthetic images by treating each image as an independent entity, thereby overlooking the common features among data. This paper proposes a dataset distillation method based on Matching Training Trajectories with Low-rank Space Sampling(MTT-LSS), which uses low-rank approximations to capture multiple low-dimensional manifold subspaces of the original data. The synthetic data is represented by basis vectors and shared dimension mappers from these subspaces, reducing the cost of generating individual data points while effectively minimizing information redundancy. The proposed method is tested on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and SVHN datasets, and outperforms the baseline methods by an average of 9.9%.
How Can Video Generative AI Transform K-12 Education? Examining Teachers' Perspectives through TPACK and TAM
Venue: arXiv cs.CY 2025
Year: 2025

The rapid advancement of generative AI technology, particularly video generative AI (Video GenAI), has opened new possibilities for K-12 education by enabling the creation of dynamic, customized, and high-quality visual content. Despite its potential, there is limited research on how this emerging technology can be effectively integrated into educational practices. This study explores the perspectives of leading K-12 teachers on the educational applications of Video GenAI, using the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) and TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) frameworks as analytical lenses. Through interviews and hands-on experimentation with video generation tools, the research identifies opportunities for enhancing teaching strategies, fostering student engagement, and supporting authentic task design. It also highlights challenges such as technical limitations, ethical considerations, and the need for institutional support. The findings provide actionable insights into how Video GenAI can transform teaching and learning, offering practical implications for policy, teacher training, and the future development of educational technology.
LSC-Eval: A General Framework to Evaluate Methods for Assessing Dimensions of Lexical Semantic Change Using LLM-Generated Synthetic Data
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

Lexical Semantic Change (LSC) provides insight into cultural and social dynamics. Yet, the validity of methods for measuring different kinds of LSC remains unestablished due to the absence of historical benchmark datasets. To address this gap, we propose LSC-Eval, a novel three-stage general-purpose evaluation framework to: (1) develop a scalable methodology for generating synthetic datasets that simulate theory-driven LSC using In-Context Learning and a lexical database; (2) use these datasets to evaluate the sensitivity of computational methods to synthetic change; and (3) assess their suitability for detecting change in specific dimensions and domains. We apply LSC-Eval to simulate changes along the Sentiment, Intensity, and Breadth (SIB) dimensions, as defined in the SIBling framework, using examples from psychology. We then evaluate the ability of selected methods to detect these controlled interventions. Our findings validate the use of synthetic benchmarks, demonstrate that tailored methods effectively detect changes along SIB dimensions, and reveal that a state-of-the-art LSC model faces challenges in detecting affective dimensions of LSC. LSC-Eval offers a valuable tool for dimension- and domain-specific benchmarking of LSC methods, with particular relevance to the social sciences.
LongProLIP: A Probabilistic Vision-Language Model with Long Context Text
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Recently, Probabilistic Language-Image Pre-Training (ProLIP) has been proposed to tackle the multiplicity issue of vision-language (VL) tasks. Despite their success in probabilistic representation learning at a scale, the ProLIP models cannot handle long context texts longer than 64 context length, which limits their ability to capture rich contextual information from longer text sequences. To address this issue, this paper proposes a fine-tuning strategy for ProLIP to accept longer texts, e.g., 256 text tokens. Experimental results on Urban-1k and the DataComp evaluation suite show that the proposed LongProLIP recipe can improve understanding of long contexts while minimizing the negative effect of fine-tuning.We also observe a trade-off between the long context understanding (measured by Urban-1k) and general zero-shot capability (measured by evaluation datasets by DataComp).

ForceGrip: Reference-Free Curriculum Learning for Realistic Grip Force Control in VR Hand Manipulation
Venue: arXiv cs.RO 2025
Year: 2025

Realistic Hand manipulation is a key component of immersive virtual reality (VR), yet existing methods often rely on kinematic approach or motion-capture datasets that omit crucial physical attributes such as contact forces and finger torques. Consequently, these approaches prioritize tight, one-size-fits-all grips rather than reflecting users' intended force levels. We present ForceGrip, a deep learning agent that synthesizes realistic hand manipulation motions, faithfully reflecting the user's grip force intention. Instead of mimicking predefined motion datasets, ForceGrip uses generated training scenarios-randomizing object shapes, wrist movements, and trigger input flows-to challenge the agent with a broad spectrum of physical interactions. To effectively learn from these complex tasks, we employ a three-phase curriculum learning framework comprising Finger Positioning, Intention Adaptation, and Dynamic Stabilization. This progressive strategy ensures stable hand-object contact, adaptive force control based on user inputs, and robust handling under dynamic conditions. Additionally, a proximity reward function enhances natural finger motions and accelerates training convergence. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations reveal ForceGrip's superior force controllability and plausibility compared to state-of-the-art methods. Demo videos are available as supplementary material and the code is provided at https://han-dongheun.github.io/ForceGrip.
Seeing Beyond Haze: Generative Nighttime Image Dehazing
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Nighttime image dehazing is particularly challenging when dense haze and intense glow severely degrade or entirely obscure background information. Existing methods often struggle due to insufficient background priors and limited generative capability, both of which are highly important under such conditions. In this paper, we introduce BeyondHaze, a generative nighttime dehazing method that not only reduces haze and glow effects but also reconstructs plausible background structures in regions where visual cues are heavily degraded. Our approach is built on two main ideas: obtaining strong background priors by adapting image diffusion models to nighttime dehazing, and enhancing generative ability in haze- and glow-obscured areas through guided training. Task-specific nighttime dehazing knowledge is distilled into an image diffusion model while preserving its capacity to generate clean images. The diffusion model is further trained on tailored image pairs to improve its ability to recover background details that are suppressed by haze effects. Since generative models may introduce hallucinated content, we design our framework to allow user control over the generative level, enabling a balance between visual realism and fidelity. Experiments on real-world nighttime images demonstrate that BeyondHaze substantially improves visibility and scene detail under dense haze.
MuCoS: Efficient Drug Target Discovery via Multi Context Aware Sampling in Knowledge Graphs
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

Accurate prediction of drug target interactions is critical for accelerating drug discovery and elucidating complex biological mechanisms. In this work, we frame drug target prediction as a link prediction task on heterogeneous biomedical knowledge graphs (KG) that integrate drugs, proteins, diseases, pathways, and other relevant entities. Conventional KG embedding methods such as TransE and ComplEx SE are hindered by their reliance on computationally intensive negative sampling and their limited generalization to unseen drug target pairs. To address these challenges, we propose Multi Context Aware Sampling (MuCoS), a novel framework that prioritizes high-density neighbours to capture salient structural patterns and integrates these with contextual embeddings derived from BERT. By unifying structural and textual modalities and selectively sampling highly informative patterns, MuCoS circumvents the need for negative sampling, significantly reducing computational overhead while enhancing predictive accuracy for novel drug target associations and drug targets. Extensive experiments on the KEGG50k dataset demonstrate that MuCoS outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving up to a 13\% improvement in mean reciprocal rank (MRR) in predicting any relation in the dataset and a 6\% improvement in dedicated drug target relation prediction.
Advancing Sentiment Analysis: A Novel LSTM Framework with Multi-head Attention
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

This work proposes an LSTM-based sentiment classification model with multi-head attention mechanism and TF-IDF optimization. Through the integration of TF-IDF feature extraction and multi-head attention, the model significantly improves text sentiment analysis performance. Experimental results on public data sets demonstrate that the new method achieves substantial improvements in the most critical metrics like accuracy, recall, and F1-score compared to baseline models. Specifically, the model achieves an accuracy of 80.28% on the test set, which is improved by about 12% in comparison with standard LSTM models. Ablation experiments also support the necessity and necessity of all modules, in which the impact of multi-head attention is greatest to performance improvement. This research provides a proper approach to sentiment analysis, which can be utilized in public opinion monitoring, product recommendation, etc.
Degradation Self-Supervised Learning for Lithium-ion Battery Health Diagnostics
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Health evaluation for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) typically relies on constant charging/discharging protocols, often neglecting scenarios involving dynamic current profiles prevalent in electric vehicles. Conventional health indicators for LIBs also depend on the uniformity of measured data, restricting their adaptability to non-uniform conditions. In this study, a novel training strategy for estimating LIB health based on the paradigm of self-supervised learning is proposed. A multiresolution analysis technique, empirical wavelet transform, is utilized to decompose non-stationary voltage signals in the frequency domain. This allows the removal of ineffective components for the health evaluation model. The transformer neural network serves as the model backbone, and a loss function is designed to describe the capacity degradation behavior with the assumption that the degradation in LIBs across most operating conditions is inevitable and irreversible. The results show that the model can learn the aging characteristics by analyzing sequences of voltage and current profiles obtained at various time intervals from the same LIB cell. The proposed method is successfully applied to the Stanford University LIB aging dataset, derived from electric vehicle real driving profiles. Notably, this approach achieves an average correlation coefficient of 0.9 between the evaluated health index and the degradation of actual capacity, demonstrating its efficacy in capturing LIB health degradation. This research highlights the feasibility of training deep neural networks using unlabeled LIB data, offering cost-efficient means and unleashing the potential of the measured information.
Few-Shot Class-Incremental Model Attribution Using Learnable Representation From CLIP-ViT Features
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Recently, images that distort or fabricate facts using generative models have become a social concern. To cope with continuous evolution of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models, model attribution (MA) is necessary beyond just detection of synthetic images. However, current deep learning-based MA methods must be trained from scratch with new data to recognize unseen models, which is time-consuming and data-intensive. This work proposes a new strategy to deal with persistently emerging generative models. We adapt few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) mechanisms for MA problem to uncover novel generative AI models. Unlike existing FSCIL approaches that focus on object classification using high-level information, MA requires analyzing low-level details like color and texture in synthetic images. Thus, we utilize a learnable representation from different levels of CLIP-ViT features. To learn an effective representation, we propose Adaptive Integration Module (AIM) to calculate a weighted sum of CLIP-ViT block features for each image, enhancing the ability to identify generative models. Extensive experiments show our method effectively extends from prior generative models to recent ones.
