CHROMA-MILL: Joint Low-Light Enhancement and White Balance under Colored Illumination

arXiv:2611.04092v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Capturing an image in a low-light environment produces a weak, noisy sensor signal. Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) aims to restore it. Auto white balance (AWB) is also required for every image, and the same noisy signal degrades its ability to infer the scene illuminant. LLIE is typically performed first, followed by AWB, but this strategy remains largely unexamined because existing low-light datasets span a narrow range of illuminants and lack illuminant ground truth for evaluating AWB. We address this with CHROMA-MILL, a RAW dataset of 50 scenes captured with a DSLR and smartphone under four calibrated illuminants at eleven intensity levels. Because light is additive, we blend these captures in the linear RAW domain to synthesize physically valid illuminant mixtures with exact chromaticity ground truth. Benchmarking on this data, we find joint correction is best, and introduce CTI-Retinexformer, which supervises an illumination map, a chromaticity prediction, and an illumination-invariant scene embedding, outperforming the best cascade by 0.7 dB PSNR$_L$ and 1.1 $\Delta E_{00}$.

Customers are pulling data back into the Oracle database as agents demand real-time access

A shared semantic layer is fast becoming the dividing line between lakehouses built for reporting and those built for artificial intelligence. As AI agents join human analysts in querying corporate data, enterprises need platforms that make sense of information scattered across clouds, formats and rival systems. Oracle Corp. has spent the past year rebuilding its […] The post Customers are pulling data back into the Oracle database as agents demand real-time access appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

Minimal Superior Penalties: Characterising and Calibrating Decision-Aware Proper Scoring Rules

arXiv:2611.03734v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training a classifier means letting a validation metric decide which model is kept and when training stops. A natural requirement on that metric is superiority: every correctly classified forecast should score better than every incorrectly classified one, however close the underlying probabilities are. Neither the Brier score nor the logarithmic score satisfies this on its own. We show that superiority is governed by the separation between two endpoints -- the supremum of the score on correct predictions and the infimum on incorrect predictions -- and derive both in closed form for each score. Their difference is the infimal penalty, the greatest lower bound on the penalty needed to restore superiority. Prior work restores superiority with a penalty calibrated from the first endpoint alone; for the Brier base, our infimal penalty is smaller than that published penalty by a factor ranging from 4.00 at three classes to 2.11 at twenty. We further embed the published and infimal penalties in a one-parameter family and show that, under a single-valued tie convention, every member of the family is strictly proper. In a pre-specified two-dataset case study, mean selected-model macro-F1 rises with the penalty in the reported ten-class regimes, though not distinguishably from noise once seed/selection-mode nesting is accounted for; a fifth regime at forty-seven classes does not reproduce even this descriptive pattern. The intended no-superiority baseline is algebraically a rescaling of the family under test, so the experiment cannot attribute the observed pattern specifically to superiority. When superiority itself is the objective, any penalty strictly above the infimal value suffices; choosing a larger penalty is a separate calibration trade-off rather than a requirement for the guarantee.

Oracle connects AI-driven testing with a new approach to database security

Frontier AI models that uncover software flaws by the hundreds are forcing database providers into larger, faster patch cycles, and real application testing is becoming the safeguard that keeps those fixes from breaking production systems. The same AI wave is also undermining security rules written into applications. Oracle Corp. has responded on two fronts, hardening […] The post Oracle connects AI-driven testing with a new approach to database security appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

SSPE: Robust Sequential Staypoint Extraction in Degraded Trajectory Data

arXiv:2611.03737v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Extracting semantically meaningful staypoints from raw trajectory streams is a foundational prerequisite for mobility analytics. However, real-world trajectory data is frequently degraded by severe spatial noise and protracted temporal dropouts. Classic threshold-based extraction methods, such as the widely adopted sliding-window algorithm, are highly sensitive to these anomalies, routinely fracturing continuous stationary episodes into disjointed fragments. To overcome this limitation, we propose the Sequential Staypoint Extraction (SSPE) algorithm. SSPE employs a resilient, state-driven architecture that replaces static spatial anchors with a dynamic centroid and introduces an $n$-step lookahead heuristic to structurally tolerate transient coordinate drift. Concurrently, it utilizes temporal bridging mechanisms to prevent artificial fragmentation during prolonged signal loss. Since optimal extraction parameters vary significantly across datasets, we further introduce a fully unsupervised, consensus-based parameter estimation framework. This framework derives baseline statistical scales directly from the raw trajectory data and identifies the optimal parameter configuration by maximizing structural agreement, thereby eliminating the reliance on annotated ground truth. We evaluate SSPE on the ExtraSensory dataset, a real-world mobility corpus with manually verified ground-truth staypoints, against the sliding-window implementation of Trackintel, one of the most widely adopted extraction baselines in the field. Empirical results demonstrate that SSPE achieves superior accuracy, yielding higher F1-scores while simultaneously improving computational efficiency over this standard.

What Is This Memory Useful For? Measuring Task-Conditioned Utility in Long-Term Agent Memory

arXiv:2611.03930v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A stored experience may answer one future question and offer little help with another. We measure this task-conditioned utility rather than assigning each memory a single importance score. A task-blind writer stores a memory without seeing the later task; a frozen reader then answers that task with and without the memory, using identical filler. A cost ledger records the resources used to form, store and expose the memory. On single-call factual-recall tasks built from LongMemEval-V2 web-agent memories, the same memory helps more when it contains information needed for the answer. Its mean paired reward gain on these answer-bearing task pairs exceeds that on matched-control pairs by $+0.33$ (95% interval $+0.21$ to $+0.46$). The tested task-blind summaries and structured records yield smaller gains than Raw, including at fixed total context; a budget sweep is consistent with retention of answer-bearing content contributing to the difference. The bearing--control contrast remains positive in a new session with randomized memory position and under a second reader, although individual memory--task labels change. Generic retrieval performs above chance but misses most screen-defined answer-bearing memories. The factual-recall gains do not extend to the tested software-engineering and scientific-coding benchmarks, where even raw memories have no measurable effect. We provide a public, versioned Conditional Memory Utility Dataset of paired measurements and costs. The practical takeaway is to evaluate memory compression by the task utility it preserves alongside its costs. Task-conditioned measurements make this comparison possible; their stability must also be checked.
