FMI_SU_Yotkova_Kastreva at SemEval-2026 Task 13: Lightweight Detection of LLM-Generated Code via Stylometric Signals

SemEval-2026 Task 13 investigates machine-generated code detection across multiple programming languages and application scenarios, asking participating systems to generalize to unseen languages and domains. This paper describes our participation in Subtask A (binary classification) and explores both pretrained code encoders and lightweight feature-based methods. We design ratio-based features that are less sensitive to snippet length. To support the extraction of descriptiveness-related signals, we use parsing engines and a programming-language classifier. Additionally, we train a separate code-vs-text line classifier to identify raw natural language segments embedded within samples. We combine a shallow decision tree with heuristic rules derived from data analysis to produce the final predictions. Our approach is computationally efficient, requires only CPU resources for training, and achieves near-instant inference time, offering a lightweight alternative to large pretrained models.

COMPASS: COmpact Multi-channel Prior-map And Scene Signature for Floor-Plan-Based Visual Localization

Architectural floor plans are widely available priors which contain not only geometry but also the semantic information of the environment, yet existing localization methods largely ignore this semantic information. To address this, we present COMPASS, an algorithm that exploits both geometric and semantic priors from floor plans to estimate the pose of a robot equipped with dual fisheye cameras. Inspired by scan context descriptor from LiDAR-based place recognition, we design a multi-channel radial descriptor that encodes the geometric layout surrounding a position. From the floor plan, rays are cast in 360 azimuth bins and the results are encoded into five channels: normalized range, structural hit type (wall, window, or opening), range gradient, inverse range, and local range variance. From the image side, the same descriptor structure is populated by detecting structural elements in the fisheye imagery. As a first step toward full cross-modal matching, we present a window detection algorithm for fisheye images that uses a line segment detector to identify window frames via vertical edge clustering and brightness verification. Detected windows are projected to azimuthal bearings through the fisheye camera model, producing the hit-type channel of the visual descriptor. As a proof of concept, we generate both descriptors at a single known pose from the Hilti-Trimble SLAM Challenge 2026 dataset and demonstrate that the wall-window pattern extracted from the first frame of each camera closely matches the floor plan descriptor, validating the feasibility of cross-modal structural matching.

Railway Artificial Intelligence Learning Benchmark (RAIL-BENCH): A Benchmark Suite for Perception in the Railway Domain

Automated train operation on existing railway infrastructure requires robust camera-based perception, yet the railway domain lacks public benchmark suites with standardized evaluation protocols that would enable reproducible comparison of approaches. We present RAIL-BENCH, the first perception benchmark suite for the railway domain. It comprises five challenges - rail track detection, object detection, vegetation segmentation, multi-object tracking, and monocular visual odometry - each tailored to the specific characteristics of railway environments. RAIL-BENCH provides curated training and test datasets drawn from diverse real-world scenarios, evaluation metrics, and public scoreboards (https://www.mrt.kit.edu/railbench). For the rail track detection challenge we introduce LineAP, a novel segment-based average precision metric that evaluates the geometric accuracy of polyline predictions independently of instance-level grouping, addressing key limitations of existing line detection metrics.

Occlusion Handling by Pushing for Enhanced Fruit Detection

In agricultural robotics, effective observation and localization of fruits present challenges due to occlusions caused by other parts of the tree, such as branches and leaves. These occlusions can result in false fruit localization or impede the robot from picking the fruit. The objective of this work is to push away branches that block the fruit's view to increase their visibility. Our setup consists of an RGB-D camera and a robot arm. First, we detect the occluded fruit in the RGB image and estimate its occluded part via a deep learning generative model in the depth space. The direction to push to clear the occlusions is determined using classic image processing techniques. We then introduce a 3D extension of the 2D Hough transform to detect straight line segments in the point cloud. This extension helps detect tree branches and identify the one mainly responsible for the occlusion. Finally, we clear the occlusion by pushing the branch with the robot arm. Our method uses a combination of deep learning for fruit appearance estimation, classic image processing for push direction determination, and 3D Hough transform for branch detection. We validate our perception methods through real data under different lighting conditions and various types of fruits (i.e. apple, lemon, orange), achieving improved visibility and successful occlusion clearance. We demonstrate the practical application of our approach through a real robot branch pushing demonstration.

Maximizing T2-Only Prostate Cancer Localization from Expected Diffusion Weighted Imaging

Multiparametric MRI is increasingly recommended as a first-line noninvasive approach to detect and localize prostate cancer, requiring at minimum diffusion-weighted (DWI) and T2-weighted (T2w) MR sequences. Early machine learning attempts using only T2w images have shown promising diagnostic performance in segmenting radiologist-annotated lesions. Such uni-modal T2-only approaches deliver substantial clinical benefits by reducing costs and expertise required to acquire other sequences. This work investigates an arguably more challenging application using only T2w at inference, but to localize individual cancers based on independent histopathology labels. We formulate DWI images as a latent modality (readily available during training) to classify cancer presence at local Barzell zones, given only T2w images as input. In the resulting expectation-maximization algorithm, a latent modality generator (implemented using a flow matching-based generative model) approximates the latent DWI image posterior distribution in the E-steps, while in M-steps a cancer localizer is simultaneously optimized with the generative model to maximize the expected likelihood of cancer presence. The proposed approach provides a novel theoretical framework for learning from a privileged DWI modality, yielding superior cancer localization performance compared to approaches that lack training DWI images or existing frameworks for privileged learning and incomplete modalities. The proposed T2-only methods perform competitively or better than baseline methods using multiple input sequences (e.g., improving the patient-level F1 score by 14.4\% and zone-level QWK by 5.3\% over the T2w+DWI baseline). We present quantitative evaluations using internal and external datasets from 4,133 prostate cancer patients with histopathology-verified labels.

ET-SAM: Efficient Point Prompt Prediction in SAM for Unified Scene Text Detection and Layout Analysis

Previous works based on Segment Anything Model (SAM) have achieved promising performance in unified scene text detection and layout analysis. However, the typical reliance on pixel-level text segmentation for sampling thousands of foreground points as prompts leads to unsatisfied inference latency and limited data utilization. To address above issues, we propose ET-SAM, an Efficient framework with two decoders for unified scene Text detection and layout analysis based on SAM. Technically, we customize a lightweight point decoder that produces word heatmaps for achieving a few foreground points, thereby eliminating excessive point prompts and accelerating inference. Without the dependence on pixel-level segmentation, we further design a joint training strategy to leverage existing data with heterogeneous text-level annotations. Specifically, the datasets with multi-level, word-level only, and line-level only annotations are combined in parallel as a unified training set. For these datasets, we introduce three corresponding sets of learnable task prompts in both the point decoder and hierarchical mask decoder to mitigate discrepancies across datasets.Extensive experiments demonstrate that, compared to the previous SAM-based architecture, ET-SAM achieves about 3$\times$ inference acceleration while obtaining competitive performance on HierText, and improves an average of 11.0% F-score on Total-Text, CTW1500, and ICDAR15.

SAMSEM -- A Generic and Scalable Approach for IC Metal Line Segmentation

In light of globalized hardware supply chains, the assurance of hardware components has gained significant interest, particularly in cryptographic applications and high-stakes scenarios. Identifying metal lines on scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of integrated circuits (ICs) is one essential step in verifying the absence of malicious circuitry in chips manufactured in untrusted environments. Due to varying manufacturing processes and technologies, such verification usually requires tuning parameters and algorithms for each target IC. Often, a machine learning model trained on images of one IC fails to accurately detect metal lines on other ICs. To address this challenge, we create SAMSEM by adapting Meta's Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) to the domain of IC metal line segmentation. Specifically, we develop a multi-scale segmentation approach that can handle SEM images of varying sizes, resolutions, and magnifications. Furthermore, we deploy a topology-based loss alongside pixel-based losses to focus our segmentation on electrical connectivity rather than pixel-level accuracy. Based on a hyperparameter optimization, we then fine-tune the SAM2 model to obtain a model that generalizes across different technology nodes, manufacturing materials, sample preparation methods, and SEM imaging technologies. To this end, we leverage an unprecedented dataset of SEM images obtained from 48 metal layers across 14 different ICs. When fine-tuned on seven ICs, SAMSEM achieves an error rate as low as 0.72% when evaluated on other images from the same ICs. For the remaining seven unseen ICs, it still achieves error rates as low as 5.53%. Finally, when fine-tuned on all 14 ICs, we observe an error rate of 0.62%. Hence, SAMSEM proves to be a reliable tool that significantly advances the frontier in metal line segmentation, a key challenge in post-manufacturing IC verification.

Detecting 3D Line Segments for 6DoF Pose Estimation with Limited Data

The task of 6DoF object pose estimation is one of the fundamental problems of 3D vision with many practical applications such as industrial automation. Traditional deep learning approaches for this task often require extensive training data or CAD models, limiting their application in real-world industrial settings where data is scarce and object instances vary. We propose a novel method for 6DoF pose estimation focused specifically on bins used in industrial settings. We exploit the cuboid geometry of bins by first detecting intermediate 3D line segments corresponding to their top edges. Our approach extends the 2D line segment detection network LeTR to operate on structured point cloud data. The detected 3D line segments are then processed using a simple geometric procedure to robustly determine the bin's 6DoF pose. To evaluate our method, we extend an existing dataset with a newly collected and annotated dataset, which we make publicly available. We show that incorporating synthetic training data significantly improves pose estimation accuracy on real scans. Moreover, we show that our method significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art 6DoF pose estimation methods in terms of the pose accuracy (3 cm translation error, 8.2$^\circ$ rotation error) while not requiring instance-specific CAD models during inference.

Automating Timed Up and Go Phase Segmentation and Gait Analysis via the tugturn Markerless 3D Pipeline

Instrumented Timed Up and Go (TUG) analysis can support clinical and research decision-making, but robust and reproducible markerless pipelines are still limited. We present \textit{tugturn.py}, a Python-based workflow for 3D markerless TUG processing that combines phase segmentation, gait-event detection, spatiotemporal metrics, intersegmental coordination, and dynamic stability analysis. The pipeline uses spatial thresholds to segment each trial into stand, first gait, turning, second gait, and sit phases, and applies a relative-distance strategy to detect heel-strike and toe-off events within valid gait windows. In addition to conventional kinematics, \textit{tugturn} provides Vector Coding outputs and Extrapolated Center of Mass (XCoM)-based metrics. The software is configured through TOML files and produces reproducible artifacts, including HTML reports, CSV tables, and quality-assurance visual outputs. A complete runnable example is provided with test data and command-line instructions. This manuscript describes the implementation, outputs, and reproducibility workflow of \textit{tugturn} as a focused software contribution for markerless biomechanical TUG analysis.

Co-PLNet: A Collaborative Point-Line Network for Prompt-Guided Wireframe Parsing

Wireframe parsing aims to recover line segments and their junctions to form a structured geometric representation useful for downstream tasks such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Existing methods predict lines and junctions separately and reconcile them post-hoc, causing mismatches and reduced robustness. We present Co-PLNet, a point-line collaborative framework that exchanges spatial cues between the two tasks, where early detections are converted into spatial prompts via a Point-Line Prompt Encoder (PLP-Encoder), which encodes geometric attributes into compact and spatially aligned maps. A Cross-Guidance Line Decoder (CGL-Decoder) then refines predictions with sparse attention conditioned on complementary prompts, enforcing point-line consistency and efficiency. Experiments on Wireframe and YorkUrban show consistent improvements in accuracy and robustness, together with favorable real-time efficiency, demonstrating our effectiveness for structured geometry perception.
