Air Quality Downscaling with Station-Guided Pseudo-Supervision

Guorun Wang, Simone Foti, Andreas D. Demou, Leonidas Kotoulas, Theodoros Christoudias, Alexandros Koliousis, Mihalis Nicolaou, Stefanos Zafeiriou

Super-resolving coarse atmospheric fields to local PM$_{2.5}$ variations is uniquely challenged by a mismatch in spatial support: while pixels represent regional averages, ground-truth observations are discrete, unaligned samples of a continuous spatial signal. To bridge this gap, we present a station-guided framework for high-resolution PM$_{2.5}$ downscaling over Europe. Taking coarse CAMS atmospheric composition fields alongside heterogeneous side information (i.e., human activity, land cover, elevation, satellite aerosol observations, and wind fields) our framework jointly super-resolves ($\times 40$, $\approx$ 1 km) and bias-corrects CAMS rasters, without relying on temporal sequence modelling. To address the challenge of densely supervising our multi-scale transformer network with sparse in-situ data, we introduce a time-agnostic propagation strategy that utilises spatial Gaussian blending of interpolated OpenAQ observations. Extensive qualitative and station-level evaluations across Europe demonstrate that our model recovers fine-grained spatial structures and effectively mitigates localised CAMS biases.

Exploiting Local Flatness for Efficient Out-of-Distribution Detection

Seonghwan Park, Hyunji Jung, Dongyeop Lee, Namhoon Lee

Detecting out-of-distribution (OOD) data is crucial for reliable machine learning deployment. Among detection strategies, post-hoc methods are particularly attractive due to their efficiency, as they operate directly on pre-trained networks without requiring retraining. Within th…

PixCon: Clean-Positive Contrastive Learning for Foundation-Model Semi-Supervised Segmentation

Ebenezer Tarubinga

Semi-supervised semantic segmentation (SSSS) has long turned on one question, which pseudo-labels to trust, and answered it with ever more careful confidence filtering. Foundation backbones change the regime: with a DINOv2 teacher a strict threshold already retains a measured 98%…

MammoFlow: Multiview Mammogram Synthesis with Anatomically Consistent Flow Matching

Yuexi Du, Leya Barrientos, Laura Sheiman, John Lewin, Hemant D. Tagare, Nicha C. Dvornek

Multiview mammography relies on paired craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views to provide complementary projections of a 3D breast volume, enabling precise anomaly localization. However, acquiring high-quality, balanced datasets remains challenging for deep learnin…

A Mechanism-Driven Theory of Phase Transitions in Active Learning

Julia Machnio, Mads Nielsen, Mostafa Mehdipour Ghazi

Active learning (AL) performance is known to be budget-dependent, yet regimes are typically defined by heuristic label counts that fail to generalize across datasets or architectures. We characterize AL dynamics by reframing budget regimes as shifts in the dominant generalization…

Class-frequency Guided Noise Schedule for Diffusion Models

Jiequan Cui, Beier Zhu, Qingshan Xu, Xiaojuan Qi, Bei Yu, Hanwang Zhang

In this paper, we are the first to examine the correlations between class frequency and the multi-scale noise schedule within diffusion models. For score-based generative models, low-density regions often lead to inaccurately estimated scores, thereby compromising the generation…
