GazeFormer-MoE: Context-Aware Gaze Estimation via CLIP and MoE Transformer

We present a semantics modulated, multi scale Transformer for 3D gaze estimation. Our model conditions CLIP global features with learnable prototype banks (illumination, head pose, background, direction), fuses these prototype-enriched global vectors with CLIP patch tokens and high-resolution CNN tokens in a unified attention space, and replaces several FFN blocks with routed/shared Mixture of Experts to increase conditional capacity. Evaluated on MPIIFaceGaze, EYEDIAP, Gaze360 and ETH-XGaze, our model achieves new state of the art angular errors of 2.49°, 3.22°, 10.16°, and 1.44°, demonstrating up to a 64% relative improvement over previously reported results. ablations attribute gains to prototype conditioning, cross scale fusion, MoE and hyperparameter. Our code is publicly available at https://github. com/AIPMLab/Gazeformer.

GMGaze: MoE-Based Context-Aware Gaze Estimation with CLIP and Multiscale Transformer

Gaze estimation methods commonly use facial appearances to predict the direction of a person gaze. However, previous studies show three major challenges with convolutional neural network (CNN)-based, transformer-based, and contrastive language-image pre-training (CLIP)-based methods, including late fusion of image features, lack of factor-aware conditioning, and impractical capacity scaling. To address these challenges, we propose Globally-conditioned Multi-scale Gaze estimation (GMGaze), which leverages a multi-scale transformer architecture. Specifically, the model first introduces semantic prototype conditioning, which modulates the CLIP global image embedding using four learned prototype banks (i.e., illumination, background, head pose and appearance) to generate two complementary context-biased global tokens. These tokens, along with the CLIP patch and CNN tokens, are fused at the first layer. This early unified fusion prevents information loss common in late-stage merging. Finally, each token passes through sparse Mixture-of-Experts modules, providing conditional computational capacity without uniformly increasing dense parameters. For cross-domain adaptation, we incorporate an adversarial domain adaptation technique with a feature separation loss that encourages the two global tokens to remain de-correlated. Experiments using four public benchmarks (MPIIFaceGaze, EYEDIAP, Gaze360, and ETH-XGaze) show that GMGaze achieves mean angular errors of 2.49$^\circ$, 3.22$^\circ$, 10.16$^\circ$, and 1.44$^\circ$, respectively, outperforming previous baselines in all within-domain settings. In cross-domain evaluations, it provides state-of-the-art (SOTA) results on two standard transfer routes.

Learning Quality-aware Dynamic Memory for Video Object Segmentation

Recently, several spatial-temporal memory-based methods have verified that storing intermediate frames and their masks as memory are helpful to segment target objects in videos. However, they mainly focus on better matching between the current frame and the memory frames without explicitly paying attention to the quality of the memory. Therefore, frames with poor segmentation masks are prone to be memorized, which leads to a segmentation mask error accumulation problem and further affect the segmentation performance. In addition, the linear increase of memory frames with the growth of frame number also limits the ability of the models to handle long videos. To this end, we propose a Quality-aware Dynamic Memory Network (QDMN) to evaluate the segmentation quality of each frame, allowing the memory bank to selectively store accurately segmented frames to prevent the error accumulation problem. Then, we combine the segmentation quality with temporal consistency to dynamically update the memory bank to improve the practicability of the models. Without any bells and whistles, our QDMN achieves new state-of-the-art performance on both DAVIS and YouTube-VOS benchmarks. Moreover, extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed Quality Assessment Module (QAM) can be applied to memory-based methods as generic plugins and significantly improves performance. Our source code is available at https://github.com/workforai/QDMN.

Amorphous ZrO2 from Ab-initio molecular dynamics: Structural, electronic and dielectric properties

Realistic models of amorphous ZrO2 are generated in a ``melt-and-quench'' fashion using ab-initio molecular dynamics in a plane-wave pseudopotential formulation of density-functional theory. The structural properties of the resulting amorphous models are analyzed, with special attention to coordination statistics. The vibrational and dielectric properties of one of these models are then investigated from first principles using linear-response methods. The electronic dielectric constant and Born effective charges are found to be very similar to those of the crystalline phases. Encouragingly, the predicted total static dielectric constant is about 22, comparable to that of the monoclinic phase. This work is motivated by the search for improved gate dielectric materials for sub-0.1 micron CMOS technology, and may also have implications for HfO2 and for silicates of ZrO2 and HfO2.
