CAppleNet: A Coordinate Attention-Based YOLO11 for Real-Time Apple Stem Cavity and Calyx Detection
Automated fruit grading, sorting, and orientation systems require real-time, accurate detection of fruit-level morphological landmarks rather than the fruit boundary alone. This paper presents a custom, fully self-collected and self-annotated dataset of 1506 apple images (1054 training, 301 validation, 151 test) captured under controlled, fixed-camera conditions and annotated for three target classes: fruit body, stem cavity, and calyx. A YOLO11s detector trained with default hyperparameters is adopted as the baseline, and a systematic, one-factor-at-a-time ablation study is conducted across input resolution, data augmentation policy, optimizer configuration, and lightweight architectural enhancement to identify the factors that most improve detection of these fine-grained landmarks under high inter-cultivar color and texture variability. Neither increased input resolution, nor any of six tested augmentation variants, nor manual optimizer tuning improved on the untuned baseline (F1 = 0.9047); only a same-slot architectural substitution of the backbone's C2PSA block with Coordinate Attention (CA) matched the baseline's overall F1 (0.9038) while reducing parameter count by 10.2% and achieving the study's best [email protected] (0.935) and best stem-cavity F1 (0.8217). A confidence-threshold sweep identified 0.15 as the deployment operating point for this model, and a confirmatory experiment combining the CA-swap architecture with the best-performing augmentation variant showed the two effects do not combine additively, reversing the architectural gain rather than compounding it. The resulting design recommendations --- the CA-swap architecture alone, at a 0.15 confidence threshold --- target real-time apple landmark detection for orientation-aware industrial sorting and alignment systems.

Minions: A Dynamic and Distributed Virtual GPU Cloud Built on Idle Apple Silicon Devices
The increasing demand for GPU-accelerated machine learning inference has exposed limitations in centralized GPU infrastructures, including high cost, limited elasticity, and long wait times under resource constraints. At the same time, modern Apple Silicon–based macOS devices are equipped with powerful GPUs that remain largely idle during normal usage. This paper presents Minions, a dynamic and distributed virtual GPU cloud that…
