Streaming 4D Visual Geometry Transformer

arXiv:2507.11539v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Perceiving and reconstructing 3D geometry from videos is a fundamental yet challenging computer vision task. To facilitate interactive and low-latency applications, we propose a streaming visual geometry transformer that shares a similar philosophy with autoregressive large language models. We explore a simple and efficient design and employ a causal transformer architecture to process the input sequence in an online manner. We use temporal causal attention and cache the historical keys and values as implicit memory to enable efficient streaming long-term 3D reconstruction. This design can handle low-latency 3D reconstruction by incrementally integrating historical information while maintaining high-quality spatial consistency. For efficient training, we propose to distill knowledge from the dense bidirectional visual geometry grounded transformer (VGGT) to our causal model. For inference, our model supports the migration of optimized efficient attention operators (e.g., FlashAttention) from large language models. Extensive experiments on various 3D geometry perception benchmarks demonstrate that our model enhances inference speed in online scenarios while maintaining competitive performance, thereby facilitating scalable and interactive 3D vision systems.

A Multi-Modal CNN-LSTM Framework with Multi-Head Attention and Focal Loss for Real-Time Elderly Fall Detection

arXiv:2603.22313v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The increasing global aging population has intensified the demand for reliable health monitoring systems, particularly those capable of detecting critical events such as falls among elderly individuals. Traditional fall detection approaches relying on single-modality acceleration data suffer from high false alarm rates, while conventional machine learning methods require extensive hand-crafted feature engineering. This paper proposes a novel multi-modal deep learning framework, MultiModalFallDetector, designed for real-time elderly fall detection using wearable sensors. Our approach integrates multiple innovations: a multi-scale CNN-based feature extractor capturing motion dynamics at varying temporal resolutions; fusion of tri-axial accelerometer, gyroscope, and four-channel physiological signals; incorporation of a multi-head self-attention mechanism for dynamic temporal weighting; adoption of Focal Loss to mitigate severe class imbalance; introduction of an auxiliary activity classification task for regularization; and implementation of transfer learning from UCI HAR to SisFall dataset. Extensive experiments on the SisFall dataset, which includes real-world simulated fall trials from elderly participants (aged 60-85), demonstrate that our framework achieves an F1-score of 98. 7, Recall of 98. 9, and AUC-ROC of 99. 4, significantly outperforming baseline methods including traditional machine learning and standard deep learning approaches. The model maintains sub- 50ms inference latency on edge devices, confirming its suitability for real-time deployment in geriatric care settings.

Step 3.5 Flash: Open Frontier-Level Intelligence with 11B Active Parameters

arXiv:2602.10604v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce Step 3.5 Flash, a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model that bridges frontier-level agentic intelligence and computational efficiency. We focus on what matters most when building agents: sharp reasoning and fast, reliable execution. Step 3.5 Flash pairs a 196B-parameter foundation with 11B active parameters for efficient inference. It is optimized with interleaved 3:1 sliding-window/full attention and Multi-Token Prediction (MTP-3) to reduce the latency and cost of multi-round agentic interactions. To reach frontier-level intelligence, we design a scalable reinforcement learning framework that combines verifiable signals with preference feedback, while remaining stable under large-scale off-policy training, enabling consistent self-improvement across mathematics, code, and tool use. Step 3.5 Flash demonstrates strong performance across agent, coding, and math tasks, achieving 85.4% on IMO-AnswerBench, 86.4% on LiveCodeBench-v6 (2024.08-2025.05), 88.2% on tau2-Bench, 69.0% on BrowseComp (with context management), and 51.0% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, comparable to frontier models such as GPT-5.2 xHigh and Gemini 3.0 Pro. By redefining the efficiency frontier, Step 3.5 Flash provides a high-density foundation for deploying sophisticated agents in real-world industrial environments.
