Optimization of a Navigation System for Autonomous Charging of Intelligent Vehicles Based on the Bidirectional A* Algorithm and YOLOv11n Model by Shengkun Liao, Lei Zhang, Yunli He, Junhui Zhang, Jinxu Sun

“…The optimized YOLOv11n model achieves state-of-the-art precision (P) and mAP@0.5 compared to YOLOv5, YOLOv8n, and the baseline model, with a minor 0.9% recall (R) deficit compared to YOLOv5 but more balanced overall performance and superior capability for small-object detection. By fusing the two improved modules, the proposed system successfully realizes autonomous charging navigation, providing an efficient solution for energy management in intelligent vehicles in real-world environments.…”

Toward Adaptive Unsupervised and Blind Image Forgery Localization with ViT-VAE and a Gaussian Mixture Model by Haichang Yin, KinTak U, Jing Wang, Wuyue Ma

“…Despite their success, there are still some limitations: (1) A simple Gaussian distribution assumption in the latent space constrains performance due to the diverse distribution of forged images. (2) Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) introduce non-convex log-sum-exp functions in the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence term, leading to gradient instability and convergence issues during training. (3) Estimating GMM mixing coefficients typically involves either the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm before VAE training or a multilayer perceptron (MLP), both of which increase computational complexity. …”
