MINER: Multi-crop INference-time Enhancement for Rare-Object Retrieval with Frozen Dual Encoders
Abdulmalik Alquwayfili, Faisal AlMeshal, Jumanah Almajnouni +2
Text-to-image retrieval with frozen dual encoders degrades when the query names a small, visually subordinate object in a cluttered scene: a single global image embedding underrepr…

LARE: Low-Attention Region Encoding for Text-Image Retrieval
Abdulmalik Alquwayfili, Faisal Almeshal, Jumanah Almajnouni +8
Image retrieval in crowded scenes is particularly challenging due to the salience bias of conventional visual encoders, which tend to focus on dominant objects while neglecting low…

Can Coding Agents Migrate to Post-Quantum Cryptography?
Abdulmalik Alquwayfili
A program migrated to post-quantum cryptography can verify its own signatures while producing keys or signatures that another implementation rejects. We introduce a contract-based…
