Selecting synthetic degradations for dense prediction requires an estimate of their training utility, the generalization gain they bring under a finite training budget. Clean and degraded twins share content and labels, suggesting a score based on how much short training reduces the excess error caused by degradation. …
Eyeglass reflection removal is important across smartphone imaging, video conferencing, and other face-centric visual applications. The task is challenging because reflections range from mild photometric contamination to severe ocular occlusion, requiring selective correction and plausible reconstruction without alteri …
Most deep learning weather models assign a fixed set of variables and pressure levels to predefined channels, limiting transfer across atmospheric field configurations. This dependence on a fixed field set limits the transferability of trained models across atmospheric field configurations. We propose FlexCast, a field …
Machine learning-based weather prediction (MLWP) has achieved strong performance in global weather forecasting. Recent Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelation (HEALPix)-based methods use the HEALPix (HP) grid to avoid area distortion near the poles of conventional latitude-longitude (LL) grids. However, existing …
A coding agent can earn a passing grade by fixing its code, or by deleting the test that exposes the bug. Detecting such reward hacking requires recognizing attempted shortcuts, including those that fail. We release 173,561 annotated multi-turn coding trajectories from Qwen3-8B and show that supervising shortcut behavi …
