MoECLIP: Patch-Specialized Experts for Zero-shot Anomaly Detection

The CLIP model's outstanding generalization has driven recent success in Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection (ZSAD) for detecting anomalies in unseen categories. The core challenge in ZSAD is to specialize the model for anomaly detection tasks while preserving CLIP's powerful generalization capability. Existing approaches attempting to solve this challenge share the fundamental limitation of a patch-agnostic design that processes all patches monolithically without regard for their unique characteristics. To address this limitation, we propose MoECLIP, a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture for the ZSAD task, which achieves patch-level adaptation by dynamically routing each image patch to a specialized Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) expert based on its unique characteristics. Furthermore, to prevent functional redundancy among the LoRA experts, we introduce (1) Frozen Orthogonal Feature Separation (FOFS), which orthogonally separates the input feature space to force experts to focus on distinct information, and (2) a simplex equiangular tight frame (ETF) loss to regulate the expert outputs to form maximally equiangular representations. Comprehensive experimental results across 14 benchmark datasets spanning industrial and medical domains demonstrate that MoECLIP outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods.

Decrypting the temperature field in flow boiling with latent diffusion models

This paper presents an innovative method using Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) to generate temperature fields from phase indicator maps. By leveraging the BubbleML dataset from numerical simulations, the LDM translates phase field data into corresponding temperature distributions through a two-stage training process involving a vector-quantized variational autoencoder (VQVAE) and a denoising autoencoder. The resulting model effectively reconstructs complex temperature fields at interfaces. Spectral analysis indicates a high degree of agreement with ground truth data in the low to mid wavenumber ranges, even though some inconsistencies are observed at higher wavenumbers, suggesting areas for further enhancement. This machine learning approach significantly reduces the computational burden of traditional simulations and improves the precision of experimental calibration methods. Future work will focus on refining the model's ability to represent small-scale turbulence and expanding its applicability to a broader range of boiling conditions.
