Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
Decentralized Diffusion Models
David McAllister, Matthew Tancik, Jiaming Song, Angjoo Kanazawa

Decentralized Diffusion Models propose a scalable framework for training diffusion models across independent clusters, eliminating the need for a centralized, high-bandwidth network and allowing for more cost-effective and resilient training processes.

Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
Can MLLMs Reason in Multimodality? EMMA: An Enhanced MultiModal ReAsoning Benchmark
Yunzhuo Hao, Jiawei Gu, Huichen Will Wang, Linjie Li, Zhengyuan Yang, Lijuan Wang, Yu Cheng

EMMA is a new benchmark for evaluating the multimodal reasoning capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) across tasks in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and coding, revealing significant limitations in current models.

Machine Learning
The GAN is dead; long live the GAN! A Modern GAN Baseline
Yiwen Huang, Aaron Gokaslan, Volodymyr Kuleshov, James Tompkin

R3GAN presents a modern GAN baseline with a well-behaved regularized relativistic loss that discards ad-hoc tricks and uses modern architectures, surpassing StyleGAN2 on multiple datasets.

Emerging Technologies
Validation of GPU Computation in Decentralized, Trustless Networks
Eric Boniardi, Stanley Bishop, Alison Haire

The paper explores the validation of GPU computations in decentralized, trustless networks, proposing novel probabilistic verification frameworks to ensure computational integrity without specialized hardware.

Artificial Intelligence
From Images to Insights: Transforming Brain Cancer Diagnosis with Explainable AI
Md. Arafat Alam Khandaker, Ziyan Shirin Raha, Salehin Bin Iqbal, M. F. Mridha, Jungpil Shin

The paper introduces a method for brain cancer diagnosis using explainable AI (XAI) techniques, achieving high accuracy with DenseNet169 and providing transparency in the decision-making process.

Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
ReFocus: Visual Editing as a Chain of Thought for Structured Image Understanding
Xingyu Fu, Minqian Liu, Zhengyuan Yang, John Corring, Yijuan Lu, Jianwei Yang, Dan Roth, Dinei Florencio, Cha Zhang

ReFocus introduces a framework that enhances multimodal large language models (LLMs) with visual editing capabilities, allowing them to generate 'visual thoughts' by modifying input images and improving structured image understanding tasks involving tables and charts.
