In the tabular domain, which is the predominant data format in real-world applications, anomalies are extremely rare or difficult to collect, as their identification often requires domain expertise. Consequently, evaluating tabular anomaly detection models is challenging, since anomalies may be absent even in evaluation sets. To tackle this challenge, prior works have generated synthetic anomaly generation rely on statistical patterns, they often overlook domain semantics and struggle to reflect the complex, domain-specific nature of real-world anomalies. We propose AutoAnoEval, a novel evaluation framework for tabular AD that constructs pseudo-evaluation sets with semantically grounded synthetic anomalies. Our approach leverages an iterative interaction between a Large Language Model (LLM) and a decision tree (DT): the LLM generates realistic anomaly conditions based on contextual semantics, while the DT provides structural guidance by capturing feature interactions inherent in the tabular data. This iterative loop ensures the generation of diverse anomaly conditions, ranging from easily detectable outliers to subtle cases near the decision boundary. Extensive experiments on 20 tabular AD benchmarks demonstrate that AutoAnoEval achieves superior model selection performance, with high ranking alignment and minimal performance gaps compared to evaluations on anomalies encountered in practical applications.

3D dense captioning is a task to localize objects in a 3D scene and generate descriptive sentences for each object. Recent approaches in 3D dense captioning have adopted transformer encoder-decoder frameworks from object detection to build an end-to-end pipeline without hand-crafted components. However, these approaches struggle with contradicting objectives where a single query attention has to simultaneously view both the tightly localized object regions and contextual environment. To overcome this challenge, we introduce SIA (See-It-All), a transformer pipeline that engages in 3D dense captioning with a novel paradigm called late aggregation. SIA simultaneously decodes two sets of queries—context query and instance query. The instance query focuses on localization and object attribute descriptions, while the context query versatilely captures the region-of-interest of relationships between multiple objects or with the global scene, then aggregated afterwards (i.e., late aggregation) via simple distance-based measures. To further enhance the quality of contextualized caption generation, we design a novel aggregator to generate a fully informed caption based on the surrounding context, the global environment, and object instances. Extensive experiments on two of the most widely-used 3D dense captioning datasets demonstrate that our proposed method achieves a significant improvement over prior methods.
