Multi-perspective-camera systems are widely adopted since they provide broad visual coverage for autonomous driving, motivating the synthesis of a unified wide view from spatially separated observations. In this work, we formulate wide view synthesis (WVS), which aims to synthesize a geometrically consistent wide view…
Visual autoregressive generation spans two dominant paradigms: next-scale prediction for images and video, and next-frame prediction for video. Both decode block-by-block rather than token-by-token, yielding KV caches whose statistics diverge from those of language models. At scale, KV memory exceeds the weights and…
In Bangladesh, much localized misinformation spreads as photocards: single-image news summaries that imitate the branding of well-known news organizations. Because the misleading message lives in the pixels rather than in machine-readable text, text-based fact-checking tools cannot see it. We recast photocard…
The hand localization problem has been a longstanding focus due to its many applications. The task involves modeling the hand as a singular point and determining its position within a defined coordinate system. However, due to data modality limitations, existing hand localization technologies face several challenges…
Contrastive pretraining has advanced image-text understanding, yet image, video, and audio encoders are still trained independently, with cross-modal alignment realized mainly through post-hoc binding to a frozen anchor space. We present Omni-Encoder, a general multimodal encoder that processes image, video, audio…
Diffusion image generators are successful due to accurate denoising networks and strong numerical samplers. Yet the two components are not fully matched. During sampling, the denoiser predicts for the next step based on flawed input that differ much from the real data. This train-test gap, or exposure bias, caps image…
Low-textured sketch images are widely used in scientific applications, including wildlife conservation, archaeological illustration, and forensic composites. Learning from and retrieving such images is challenging because they lack detailed surface textures and visual variations commonly exploited by modern deep…
Point cloud denoising aims to recover clean geometry from noisy 3D observations while preserving both fine surface details and the underlying spatial distribution of the points. Many learning-based methods adopt a two-stage pipeline that first extracts point-wise features from the noisy input and subsequently predicts…
Surgical world models have the potential to provide intra-operative guidance, accelerate risk-free training and facilitate transfer of expert surgical maneuvers. However, the use of world models for transferring surgical expertise has been largely unexplored. Moreover, recent approaches in this domain have mainly…
Reconstructing physical dynamics from fixed sparse sensors and missing frames is a fundamental challenge in scientific research. Sparsity leaves large regions of the field unconstrained, making the inverse problem ill-posed: a model may fit the observed sensors while producing inaccurate off-sensor structures or…
