arXiv:2601.00243v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Effective pest management is crucial for enhancing agricultural productivity, especially for crops such as sugarcane and wheat that are highly vulnerable to pest infestations. Traditional pest management methods depend heavily on manual field inspections and the use of chemical pesticides. These approaches are often costly, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and can have a negative impact on the environment. To overcome these challenges, this study presents a lightweight framework for pest detection and pesticide recommendation, designed […]

Prompting has a reputation for being “vibes-based.” You type something, the model replies, you tweak a sentence, it gets slightly better, and you keep nudging until it works—if it works. That’s fine for a weekend toy project. It’s a nightmare for anything serious: compliance text, data pipelines, code generation, or “please don’t embarrass me in front of the team” outputs. So here’s the upgrade: Prompt Reverse Engineering. It’s exactly what it sounds like: use the model’s wrong answer […]

A new milestone for the robot photographer! Here’s a list of new things that the robot is capable of: It has been taught to detect and track humans in Kinect’s depth image! Depth and photographic cameras have been aligned (camera intrinsics and extrinsics have been calibrated). This effectively means that given a point on one image plane (e.g. in the depth image), a robot is able to tell where the corresponding point would be on the other image […]
