Recent advances in generative models have achieved high-fidelity in 3D human reconstruction, yet their utility for specific tasks (e.g., human 3D segmentation) remains constrained. We propose HumanCrafter, a unified framework that enables the joint modeling of appearance and human-part semantics from a single image in a feed-forward manner. Specifically, we integrate human geometric priors in the reconstruction stage and self-supervised semantic priors in the segmentation stage. To address labeled 3D human datasets scarcity, we further develop an interactive annotation procedure for generating high-quality data-label pairs. Our pixel-aligned aggregation enables cross-task synergy, while the multi-task objective simultaneously optimizes texture modeling fidelity and semantic consistency. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HumanCrafter surpasses existing state-of-the-art methods in both 3D human-part segmentation and 3D human reconstruction **from a single image**.

Despite recent advancements in high-fidelity human reconstruction techniques, the requirements for densely captured images or time-consuming per-instance optimization significantly hinder their applications in broader scenarios. To tackle these issues, we present **HumanSplat**, which predicts the 3D Gaussian Splatting properties of any human from a single input image in a generalizable manner. Specifically, HumanSplat comprises a 2D multi-view diffusion model and a latent reconstruction Transformer with human structure priors that adeptly integrate geometric priors and semantic features within a unified framework. A hierarchical loss that incorporates human semantic information is devised to achieve high-fidelity texture modeling and impose stronger constraints on the estimated multiple views. Comprehensive experiments on standard benchmarks and in-the-wild images demonstrate that HumanSplat surpasses existing state-of-the-art methods in achieving photorealistic novel-view synthesis.

In order to meet the needs of some scenes with unknown and rapidly changing noise power, a spectrum sensing method based on deep reinforcement learning is proposed in this paper to improve the traditional energy detection method. A complex reward function is designed in the deep Q network (DQN) algorithm, which can make the agent adjust the decision threshold of energy detection more intelligently. In addition, combined with the clustered cooperative spectrum sensing architecture, the performance of spectrum sensing is further improved through twice decision fusion based on cumulative accuracy. In this paper, five other common spectrum sensing methods are compared. The simulation results show that the proposed method converges on datasets, and its sensing performance is superior to the other methods. Its detection accuracy rates are 87.88%, 90.18%, 88.13%, 84.74%, 82.43% respectively. Thus, limitations of traditional energy detection methods are broken through this method and the whole system is more intelligent and stable.

As the rapid pace of Moore's Law has been slowing down, there has been intense activity to “reinvent the transistor.” An emerging paradigm is to complement the existing complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology with new functionalities, rather than finding a drop-in replacement for it. In this article, we discuss such a complementary approach that we call probabilistic spin logic (PSL) based on the concept of a probabilistic or p-bit. p-bits fluctuate between 0 and 1 and can be imagined in between deterministic bits that are either 0 or 1 and quantum bits that are a superposition of 0 and 1. Interconnected circuits built out of p-bits (p-circuits) can be broadly useful for machine learning and quantum computing in the solution of problems that conventional CMOS may not be particularly suited for. Although such p-bits can be implemented using standard CMOS technology, we will show that the inherent physics of nanomagnets can naturally provide an energy efficient and scalable p-bit implementation through the use of low-barrier magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). In this article, we provide a general description of p-bits and p-circuits and discuss their applications. We review experimental progress toward constructing p-bits and p-circuits exploiting the inherent stochasticity of nanomagnets, from a physics/device/circuits perspective. In particular, we identify building blocks for “write” and “read” operations that can be used in different combinations to construct functional p-bits and p-circuits. Finally, we discuss the prospects and challenges of PSL as an emerging, unconventional computing paradigm for a beyond CMOS era.
