Progress on graph foundation models is hindered by benchmark practices that conflate the contributions of node features and graph structure, making it hard to tell whether a model actually learns from connectivity, or whether it even needs…
When benchmarking optimization heuristics, we need to take care to avoid an algorithm exploiting biases in the construction of the used problems. One way in which this might be done is by providing different versions of each problem but…
Image matching approaches have been widely used in computer vision applications in which the image-level matching performance of matchers is critical. However, it has not been well investigated by previous works which place more emphases on…
In many contexts the modal properties of a structure change, either due to the impact of a changing environment, fatigue, or due to the presence of structural damage. For example during flight, an aircraft's modal properties are known to…
