MANTIS: Modulated Adaptive Neural Compression for Task-Informed Split Computing

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

MANTIS evaluates task-conditioned split compression on UAVid semantic segmentation, WAID wildlife detection, and Boreal Fire smoke detection. The system improves the low- and mid-rate task-utility frontier, reducing bitrate by up to 62.2% at matched downstream accuracy and improving average normalized task accuracy by up to 9.3% at matched bitrate relative to the best non-conditioned or static baseline at the matched comparison point.

Construction of trail networks based on growing self-organizing maps and public GPS data

Tue, 28 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This journal article extends the earlier SIEDS work with a fuller evaluation of growing self-organizing maps for trail-network construction. The method is particularly effective on sparse networks without substantial GPS noise.
