LiWi: Layering in the Wild

Recent advances in generative models have empowered impressive layered image generation, yet their success is largely confined to graphic design domains. The layering of in-the-wild images remains an underexplored problem, limiting fine-grained editing and applications of images in real-world scenarios. Specifically, challenges remain in scalable layered data and the modeling of object interaction in natural images, such as illumination effects and structural boundary. To address these bottlenecks, we propose a novel framework for high-fidelity natural image decomposition. First, we introduce an Agent-driven Data Decomposition (ADD) pipeline that orchestrates agents and tools to synthesize layered data without manual intervention. Utilizing this pipeline, we construct a large-scale dataset, named LiWi-100k, with over 100,000 high-quality layered in-the-wild images. Second, we present a novel framework that jointly improves photometric fidelity and alpha boundary accuracy. Specifically, shadow-guided learning explicitly models the illumination effects, and degradation-restoration objective provides boundary-correction supervision by recovering clean foreground image from degraded one. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our framework achieves state-of-the-art (SoTA) performance in natural image decomposition, outperforming existing models in RGB L1 and Alpha IoU metrics. We will soon release our code and dataset.

Motion Blur Robust Wheat Pest Damage Detection with Dynamic Fuzzy Feature Fusion

Motion blur caused by camera shake produces ghosting artifacts that substantially degrade edge side object detection. Existing approaches either suppress blur as noise and lose discriminative structure, or apply full image restoration that increases latency and limits deployment on resource constrained devices. We propose DFRCP, a Dynamic Fuzzy Robust Convolutional Pyramid, as a plug in upgrade to YOLOv11 for blur robust detection. DFRCP enhances the YOLOv11 feature pyramid by combining large scale and medium scale features while preserving native representations, and by introducing Dynamic Robust Switch units that adaptively inject fuzzy features to strengthen global perception under jitter. Fuzzy features are synthesized by rotating and nonlinearly interpolating multiscale features, then merged through a transparency convolution that learns a content adaptive trade off between original and fuzzy cues. We further develop a CUDA parallel rotation and interpolation kernel that avoids boundary overflow and delivers more than 400 times speedup, making the design practical for edge deployment. We train with paired supervision on a private wheat pest damage dataset of about 3,500 images, augmented threefold using two blur regimes, uniform image wide motion blur and bounding box confined rotational blur. On blurred test sets, YOLOv11 with DFRCP achieves about 10.4 percent higher accuracy than the YOLOv11 baseline with only a modest training time overhead, reducing the need for manual filtering after data collection.

Mutations of quivers with 2-cycles

We develop a mutation theory for quivers with oriented 2-cycles using a structure called a homotopy, defined as a normal subgroupoid of the quiver's fundamental groupoid. This framework extends Fomin-Zelevinsky mutations of 2-acyclic quivers and yields involutive mutations that preserve the fundamental groupoid quotient by the homotopy. It generalizes orbit mutations arising from quiver coverings and allows for infinite mutation sequences even when orbit mutations are obstructed. We further construct quivers with homotopies from triangulations of marked surfaces with colored punctures, and prove that flips correspond to mutations, extending the Fomin-Shapiro-Thurston model to the setting with 2-cycles.

VILTA: A VLM-in-the-Loop Adversary for Enhancing Driving Policy Robustness

The safe deployment of autonomous driving (AD) systems is fundamentally hindered by the long-tail problem, where rare yet critical driving scenarios are severely underrepresented in real-world data. Existing solutions including safety-critical scenario generation and closed-loop learning often rely on rule-based heuristics, resampling methods and generative models learned from offline datasets, limiting their ability to produce diverse and novel challenges. While recent works leverage Vision Language Models (VLMs) to produce scene descriptions that guide a separate, downstream model in generating hazardous trajectories for agents, such two-stage framework constrains the generative potential of VLMs, as the diversity of the final trajectories is ultimately limited by the generalization ceiling of the downstream algorithm. To overcome these limitations, we introduce VILTA (VLM-In-the-Loop Trajectory Adversary), a novel framework that integrates a VLM into the closed-loop training of AD agents. Unlike prior works, VILTA actively participates in the training loop by comprehending the dynamic driving environment and strategically generating challenging scenarios through direct, fine-grained editing of surrounding agents' future trajectories. This direct-editing approach fully leverages the VLM's powerful generalization capabilities to create a diverse curriculum of plausible yet challenging scenarios that extend beyond the scope of traditional methods. We demonstrate that our approach substantially enhances the safety and robustness of the resulting AD policy, particularly in its ability to navigate critical long-tail events.
