Article Abstract

Introduction: Plant disease detection is critical for ensuring agricultural productivity, yet traditional methods often suffer from inefficiencies and inaccuracies due to manual processes and limited adaptability.

Methods: This paper presents the PlantDisease Multi-task Joint Detection Model (PMJDM), which integrates an enhanced ConvNeXt-based shared feature extraction, a texture-augmented N-RPN module with HOG/LBP metrics, multi-task branches for simultaneous plant species classification and disease detection, and CRF-based post-processing for spatial consistency. A dynamic weight adjustment mechanism is also employed to optimize task balance and improve robustness.

Results: Evaluated on a 26,073-image dataset, PMJDM achieves 71.84% precision, 61.96% recall, and 61.83% mAP50, surpassing Faster - RCNN (51.49% mAP50) and YOLOv10x (59.52% mAP50) by 10.34% and 2.31%, respectively.

Discussion: The superior performance of PMJDM is driven by multi-task synergy and texture - enhanced region proposals, offering an efficient solution for precision agriculture.

With the rapid development of industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing, defect detection of electronic products has become crucial in the production process. Traditional defect detection methods often face the problems of insufficient accuracy and inefficiency when dealing with complex backgrounds, tiny defects, and multiple defect types. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes Y-MaskNet, a multi-task joint learning framework based on YOLOv5 and Mask R-CNN, which aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of defect detection and segmentation in electronic products.

Generalized visual grounding tasks, including Generalized Referring Expression Comprehension (GREC) and Segmentation (GRES), extend the classical visual grounding paradigm by accommodating multi-target and non-target scenarios. Specifically, GREC focuses on accurately identifying all referential objects at the coarse bounding box level, while GRES aims for achieve fine-grained pixel-level perception. However, existing approaches typically treat these tasks independently, overlooking the benefits of jointly training GREC and GRES to ensure consistent multi-granularity predictions and streamline the overall process.

Sperm head morphology has been identified as a characteristic that can be used to predict a male's semen quality. Here, harnessing the close relationship considering sperm head shape to quality and morphology, we propose a joint learning model for sperm head segmentation and morphological category prediction. In the model, the sperm category prediction and the ellipticity, calculated by using the segmented sperm head profile, are used to synthesize the morphology to which the sperm belongs.

Chest X-ray (CXR) is a challenging problem in automated medical diagnosis, where complex visual patterns of thoracic diseases must be precisely identified through multi-label classification and lesion localization. Current approaches typically consider classification and localization in isolation, resulting in a piecemeal system that does not exploit common representations and is often not clinically interpretable, as well as limited in handling multi-label diseases. Although multi-task learning frameworks, such as DeepChest and CLN, appear to meet this goal, they suffer from task interference and poor explainability, which limits their practical application in real-world clinical workflows.

Early rumor detection on social media requires joint modeling of semantic content and dynamic propagation patterns, a critical yet challenging task in text mining. While existing methods often focus exclusively on either contextual information or user behavior, we propose MLI-GRA, a heterogeneous graph reconstruction approach that integrates both through multi-level interactive fusion. We first employ a graph auto-encoder framework to integrate semantic information and propagation patterns with the multiple graph convolutional network (GCN) and the graph reconstruction module.
