Causal neural set filtering for online multi-target tracking

Causal Neural Set Filtering (CNSF) improves multi-target tracking efficiency by processing only current measurements instead of re-encoding entire windows.

Transformer-based multi-target trackers often suffer from redundant computation by repeatedly re-encoding measurement sequences. CNSF introduces a neural set filter that maintains state through recursive updates, significantly reducing the computational overhead while maintaining tracking accuracy.
