MaX4Zero: Masked Extended Attention for Zero‐Shot Virtual Try‐On In The Wild

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Max4Zero is a zero‐shot, training‐free virtual try‐on method that leverages diffusion priors and extended attention for accurate garment transfer. By warping reference garments and mitigating texture sticking, it achieves superior fidelity, garment preservation and identity consistency over state‐of‐the‐art methods without additional training ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...
