The scarcity of high-quality annotated visual data remains a critical bottleneck for autonomous-driving perception. Simulators provide training data at scale, but the limited realism of synthetic videos compromises perception performance in real-world applications. To address…

Research on why people contribute to open source software (OSS) and related open collaboration platforms spans more than two decades, but its findings conflict, and studies often treat the work people contribute and their intention to keep contributing as interchangeable.…

Recent advancements in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) enable end-to-end visual grounding via language prompts and generative decoding, demonstrating largely improved zero-shot and open-vocabulary detection capabilities. As a result, VLMs are rapidly being deployed at the edge in…

Random-Forest wrapper feature selection can use out-of-bag (OOB) predictions as a built-in validation signal, but the criteria that decide each forward step accumulate OOB estimation noise. We propose TOP-Gain (Truncated Out-of-bag Probability Gain), which scores a candidate…
