Abstract:In this paper, we develop a multivariate framework for approximation by max-min neural network operators. Building on the recent advances in approximation theory by neural network operators, particularly, the univariate max-min operators, we propose and analyze new multivariate operators activated by sigmoidal functions. We establish pointwise and uniform convergence theorems and derive quantitative estimates for the order of approximation via modulus of continuity and multivariate generalized absolute moment. Our results demonstrate that multivariate max-min structure of operators, besides their algebraic elegance, provide efficient and stable approximation tools in both theoretical and applied settings.
Abstract:This paper presents an overview of NTIRE 2025 the First Challenge on Event-Based Image Deblurring, detailing the proposed methodologies and corresponding results. The primary goal of the challenge is to design an event-based method that achieves high-quality image deblurring, with performance quantitatively assessed using Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). Notably, there are no restrictions on computational complexity or model size. The task focuses on leveraging both events and images as inputs for single-image deblurring. A total of 199 participants registered, among whom 15 teams successfully submitted valid results, offering valuable insights into the current state of event-based image deblurring. We anticipate that this challenge will drive further advancements in event-based vision research.




Abstract:Text Summarization has been an extensively studied problem. Traditional approaches to text summarization rely heavily on feature engineering. In contrast to this, we propose a fully data-driven approach using feedforward neural networks for single document summarization. We train and evaluate the model on standard DUC 2002 dataset which shows results comparable to the state of the art models. The proposed model is scalable and is able to produce the summary of arbitrarily sized documents by breaking the original document into fixed sized parts and then feeding it recursively to the network.
