arXiv:2603.22841v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Drone detection is pivotal in numerous security and counter-UAV applications. However, existing deep learning-based methods typically struggle to balance robust feature representation with computational efficiency. This challenge is particularly acute when detecting miniature drones against complex backgrounds under severe environmental interference. To address these issues, we introduce UAV-DETR, a novel framework that integrates a small-target-friendly architecture with real-time detection capabilities. Specifically, UAV-DETR features a WTConv-enhanced backbone and a Sliding Window Self-Attention (SWSA-IFI) encoder, capturing the high-frequency structural details of tiny targets while drastically reducing parameter overhead. Furthermore, we propose an Efficient Cross-Scale Feature Recalibration and Fusion Network (ECFRFN) to suppress background noise and aggregate multi-scale semantics. To further enhance accuracy, UAV-DETR incorporates a hybrid Inner-CIoU and NWD loss strategy, mitigating the extreme sensitivity of standard IoU metrics to minor positional deviations in small objects. Extensive experiments demonstrate that UAV-DETR significantly outperforms the baseline RT-DETR on our custom UAV dataset (+6.61% in mAP50:95, with a 39.8% reduction in parameters) and the public DUT-ANTI-UAV benchmark (+1.4% in Precision, +1.0% in F1-Score). These results establish UAV-DETR as a superior trade-off between efficiency and precision in counter-UAV object detection. The code is available at https://github.com/wd-sir/UAVDETR.

arXiv:2603.21289v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent progress in multimodal large language models has led to strong performance on reasoning tasks, but these improvements largely rely on high-quality annotated data or teacher-model distillation, both of which are costly and difficult to scale. To address this, we propose an unsupervised self-evolution training framework for multimodal reasoning that achieves stable performance improvements without using human-annotated answers or external reward models. For each input, we sample multiple reasoning trajectories and jointly model their within group structure. We use the Actor's self-consistency signal as a training prior, and introduce a bounded Judge based modulation to continuously reweight trajectories of different quality. We further model the modulated scores as a group level distribution and convert absolute scores into relative advantages within each group, enabling more robust policy updates. Trained with Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) on unlabeled data, our method consistently improves reasoning performance and generalization on five mathematical reasoning benchmarks, offering a scalable path toward self-evolving multimodal models.
