What changed
Used set prediction of mask–class pairs for semantic and panoptic segmentation; added predicted-region masked cross-attention and multi-scale decoding to improve a shared architecture across semantic, instance and panoptic settings.
Scientific scope
Used set prediction of mask–class pairs for semantic and panoptic segmentation; added predicted-region masked cross-attention and multi-scale decoding to improve a shared architecture across semantic, instance and panoptic settings. Universal means one architecture that can be trained separately on different tasks/datasets, not one checkpoint proven to solve all tasks without adaptation. Inherits DETR matching and earlier mask-classification ideas. Predicted masks constrain attention but are not certified explanations.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
