Overcoming Attention Drift: Homogeneity-Heterogeneity Guided Feature Aggregation for Low-Light Remote Sensing Image Enhancement2608.05843AuthorsYaozi Zhong,Xingxing Yang,Shaohui Mei,Mingyang MaAbstractRestoring high-fidelity remote sensing imagery from extreme low-light degradation is indispensable for reliable Earth observation and downstream machine vision. However, under severe noise and illumination corruption, existing methods suffer from attention drift, erroneously aggregating features across distinct physical boundaries and causing severe structural blurring and color distortion. To address this, we propose HALO, a dual-prior-driven enhancement framework that formulates enhancement as a guided feature aggregation problem driven by foundation model priors. Specifically, an illumination-invariant semantic prior provides regional homogeneity as a positive bias for content-consistent aggregation, while a pseudo-3D topological prior provides boundary heterogeneity as a negative penalty to strictly prevent cross-boundary confusion. To cooperatively incorporate these two priors, we propose a Homogeneity-Heterogeneity Cooperative Attention Module (H2CAM) to resolve feature conflicts during cross-modal prior fusion. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HALO achieves state-of-the-art performance across 8 challenging synthetic and real-world remote sensing benchmarks, significantly improving physical boundary sharpness and color fidelity while maximizing the preservation of discriminative features for downstream Earth observation tasks.ResourcesView on Hugging FaceRead PDFArXiv

ResearchLearning When to Trust via Selective Context Preference Optimization
Language models increasingly condition their answers on external signals, and a single misleading one can turn a correct answer wrong. The obvious remedy, training models to resist such signals, hides a failure mode: a model that ignores all context looks robust yet is useless when the context is worth trusting. We recast the problem as selective trust and introduce MIST, a human-annotated benchmark that renders each reasoning item under four matched conditions (clean, misleading, correct-context, and irrelevant-context), together with SC2W, a paired metric counting how often a misle

ResearchTracing the Heart: An Evidence-Linked Pipeline for Heart-Failure Feature Engineering
Electronic health record (EHR) feature engineering is a major bottleneck in clinical research and AI, accounting for 39-45% of data scientists' workload. This is especially pronounced in heart failure, which affects an estimated 6.7 million U.S. adults and requires integrating fragmented EHR data with disease-specific, guideline-based clinical reasoning. Existing rule-based and large language model (LLM)-based approaches offer only partial automation with limited maintainability and evidence traceability. We developed the Nimblemind Multi-Agent System (nMAS), an evidence-linked, rubr
