Reliable visual detection of small floating objects on the water surface is a prerequisite for environmental monitoring and clean-up tasks performed by unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) on inland waterways. Such scenes are routinely degraded by low illumination at dawn and dusk, strong specular reflections, ripple-induced clutter, and large object-scale variations, which together cause missed detections, false alarms, and unstable localization. This paper proposes YOLO11-LREP, a lightweight detection framework built upon YOLO11n and tailored for water-surface floating-object recognition under […]
Tennis match prediction has been studied extensively, yet the literature offers no controlled comparison of Elo ratings, classical machine learning, and deep neural networks under identical experimental conditions, leaving practitioners without clear guidance on model selection. We address this gap with a unified empirical study on 133,138 professional men’s tennis matches from the Association of Tennis Professionals tour (1968–2024). Four approaches are evaluated on the same temporally split data with a common 16-feature set and an aligned evaluation […]
Routing in today’s data centers is usually governed by a data structure called a “fat tree”, which is similar to a corporate organizational chart, with nodes in each layer connecting to multiple nodes in the layer below. Here, however, the nodes of the bottom layer represent routers that want to send messages to each other, and the layers above them contain extra routers that simplify the routing procedure. A message sent by one bottom-layer router climbs the tree […]
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the league plans to introduce an automated system for certain officiating decisions, including out-of-bounds calls. The system would use AI and cameras placed around the court to determine possession. Silver compared the approach to Hawk-Eye, the tracking technology used for line calls in tennis. Disputed call preceded Silver’s comments Silver’s appearance came after a disputed call in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. […]
Foundation models have emerged as a dominant paradigm in machine learning, enabling broad generalization and efficient adaptation across diverse tasks and domains. While this paradigm has achieved remarkable success in language and vision data, its extension to structured data remains far less understood. Foundation models for structured data are an emerging yet highly impactful research area with a rapidly growing body of literature. In this survey, we provide a systematic analysis of foundation models for structured data, focusing […]
