This study introduces GPAT(Geometric-Positional Attention and Local-Global Transformer Networks), a novel hierarchical deep learning framework designed to address these limitations by effectively integrating local geometric and positional information with global structural awareness. By leveraging a novel positional encoding and attention mechanisms, GPAT captures the intricate interplay between geometric structures and spatial configurations, enriching the distinctiveness of local features. Simultaneously, it incorporates global geometric consistency to establish robust correspondences, effectively bridging the gap between local and global contexts. The framework further refines these correspondences into dense point matches, ensuring precise registration even under challenging conditions. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets, including 3DMatch, ModelNet, and KITTI, demonstrate GPAT's competitive performance, especially in low-overlap situations, demonstrating its capability to extract discriminative features and achieve accurate transformations with high robustness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8417,"journal":{"name":"Array","volume":"29 ","pages":"Article 100660"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146034355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this issue, this research proposes a hybrid extractive summarization approach that integrates statistical methods, namely Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), with Indonesian-specific transformer models, including IndoBERT and GPT, to enhance semantic similarity measurement during sentence selection. The proposed framework employs a weighted hybrid formulation (α·TF-IDF + β·LSA + γ·IndoBERT + δ·GPT), combined with cosine similarity computation and diversity-aware sentence selection.
