StrengthSense: A Dataset of IMU Signals Capturing Everyday Activities with Diverse Physical Demands

We present StrengthSense, a public full-body IMU dataset capturing everyday activities with diverse physical demands. StrengthSense contains approximately 8.5 hours of recordings from 28 subjects performing 13 activities, captured with 10 symmetrically placed 9-axis IMUs. The activities are grouped into four task-based...

ColNanoVDR: Document-Free Query Distillation for Multi-Vector Visual Document Retrieval via Optimal Transport

ColNanoVDR is presented, to the authors' knowledge the first framework to bring this document-free distillation to multi-vector VDR, and it is proved that the resulting alignment cost bounds the MaxSim score difference on every page.

DistilVDR: A Compact End-to-End Visual Document Retriever via Dual-Student Distillation

This work presents DistilVDR, a 524M end-to-end VDR system distilled bilaterally from a single 8B vision-language teacher under a pointwise cosine alignment loss and matches VDR's text-query and image-document input asymmetry with an asymmetric encoder-only student that concentrates visual capacity on the document side...

Structural Anchor Pruning: Training-Free Multi-Vector Compression for Visual Document Retrieval

The authors' layer-resolved SR analysis reveals an Alignment-Aggregation Divergence: visual structure is preserved as a stable ``Structural Plateau''within the backbone, while the final layers reshape it into a sparse, query-aligned form unsuitable for pruning.

NanoVDR: Distilling a 2B Vision-Language Retriever into a 70M Text-Only Encoder for Visual Document Retrieval

NanoVDR exploits query--document asymmetry by decoupling the two encoding paths: a frozen 2B VLM teacher indexes documents offline, while a distilled text-only student as small as 69M parameters encodes queries at inference, and the resulting NanoVDR-S-Multi (DistilBERT, 69M) retains 95.1% of teacher quality.
