Online training enables computer-use agents (CUAs) to improve through interaction with executable environments. However, existing methods primarily rely on sparse outcome rewards, which provide no supervision for intermediate actions. On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) offers token-level learning signals through privil …

The annotation used to select a segmentation threshold is part of the evaluation protocol, yet its effect is easily conflated with model quality. We examine this choice for retinal vessel segmentation using all 28 CHASE DB1 images and both human annotations. A fixed seven-fold protocol keeps both eyes of each of the 14 …

Contour initialization and numerical stopping can jointly affect the evaluation of active-contour segmentation. We examine their interaction using the open-source scikit-image Chan-Vese implementation on a resized ISIC 2017 mirror. A fixed development set of 100 images selects a common input channel; all 600 images in …
