Slice-based volumetric imaging is widely applied and it demands representations that compress aggressively while preserving internal structure for analysis. This paper introduces GaussianPile, unifying 3D Gaussian splatting with an imaging system-aware focus model to address this challenge. Our new method introduces three key innovations: (i) a slice-aware piling strategy that positions anisotropic 3D Gaussians to model through-slice contributions, (ii) a differentiable projection operator that encodes the finite-thickness point spread function of the imaging acquisition system, and (iii) a compact encoding and joint optimization pipeline that simultaneously reconstructs and compresses the Gaussian sets. Our CUDA-based design retains the compression and real-time rendering efficiency of Gaussian primitives while preserving high-frequency internal volumetric detail. Experiments on microscopy and ultrasound datasets demonstrate that our method reduces storage and reconstruction cost, sustains diagnostic fidelity, and enables fast 2D visualization, along with 3D voxelization. In practice, it delivers high-quality results in as few as 3 minutes--up to 11xfaster than NeRF-based approaches--and achieves consistent 16xcompression over the original voxel grids, offering a practical path to deployable compression and exploration of slice-based volumetric datasets.

Recent advances in video large language models have demonstrated strong capabilities in understanding short clips. However, scaling them to hours- or days-long videos remains highly challenging due to limited context capacity and the loss of critical visual details during abstraction. Existing memory-augmented methods mitigate this by leveraging textual summaries of video segments, yet they heavily rely on text and fail to utilize visual evidence when reasoning over complex scenes. Moreover, retrieving from fixed temporal scales further limits their flexibility in capturing events that span variable durations. To address this, we introduce WorldMM, a novel multimodal memory agent that constructs and retrieves from multiple complementary memories, encompassing both textual and visual representations. WorldMM comprises three types of memory: episodic memory indexes factual events across multiple temporal scales, semantic memory continuously updates high-level conceptual knowledge, and visual memory preserves detailed information about scenes. During inference, an adaptive retrieval agent iteratively selects the most relevant memory source and leverages multiple temporal granularities based on the query, continuing until it determines that sufficient information has been gathered. WorldMM significantly outperforms existing baselines across five long video question-answering benchmarks, achieving an average 8.4% performance gain over previous state-of-the-art methods, showing its effectiveness on long video reasoning.

Sign language production aims to generate sign sequences from spoken language, where the generation of sign pose sequences from text is often treated as a significant task. However, due to the differences in grammatical rules and modalities between sign language pose sequences and spoken language text, it is rather challenging to convert text into sign poses (i.e., Text2Pose), while maintaining semantic consistency, motion accuracy and temporal coherence.In this paper, we focus on the Text2Pose task, and propose SignPR, a progressive diffusion framework that jointly models the structural and temporal properties of signing. Structurally, we perform progressive structural refinement: a structural VQVAE encodes each frame into semantic-aware and region-based discrete representations; the diffusion process first produces semantically consistent poses and then progressively refines motion details under text and semantic conditioning. Temporally, we introduce block-wise causal diffusion, which progressively enforces temporal coherence and enables iterative refinement to earlier generated segments, yielding smoother transitions and reduced jitter. Extensive experiments on widely used datasets demonstrate that SignPR achieves superior results compared with prior T2P methods across multiple metrics, producing pose sequences that are semantically faithful, motion-accurate, and temporally coherent.

The rise of AI agents powered by large language models (LLMs) has transformed intelligent systems by enabling autonomous tool utilizing, reasoning, and action across diverse tasks. Despite this rapid progress, existing video summarization approaches primarily focus on feature extraction or frame-level importance regression but lack the autonomous reasoning, self-correction, and decision-making capabilities that define true agent-based intelligence. To bridge this gap, we propose AgenticVS--the first agentic workflow for video summarization that leverages multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to complete the summarization-verify-reflection loop in a fully autonomous manner. Rather than designing new architectures for feature extraction or regression, we exploit the understanding and reflective reasoning abilities of MLLMs to build an adaptive summarization framework with a self-reflecting workflow. Experiments on SumMe and TVSum demonstrate that our agentic workflow outperforms state-of-the-art methods, enhancing interpretability, adaptability, and paving the way for agent-based multimodal video understanding.

Despite the rapid progress of text-to-image (T2I) models, generating images that accurately reflect complex compositional prompts (covering attribute bindings, object relationships, counting) still remains challenging. To address this, we propose BIDPO, a framework to enhance T2I model's capability of compositional text-to-image generation. We begin by introducing an carefully designed pipeline to construct a large-scale preference dataset, BICOMP, with strictly quality control. Then, we extend Diffusion DPO to jointly optimize image and text preferences, which is shown to greatly effective in improving the models to follow complex text prompt in generation. To further enhance the models for fine-grained alignment, we employ a region-level guidance method to focus on regions relevant to compositional concepts. Experimental results demonstrate that our BIDPO substantially improves compositional fidelity, consistently outperforming prior methods across multiple benchmarks. Our approach highlights the potential of preference-based fine-tuning for complex text-to-image tasks, offering a flexible and scalable alternative to existing techniques.

Backdoor attacks pose a significant threat to deep neural networks. Recent studies have shown that model compression, such as quantization and pruning, can be exploited by attackers to implant conditional backdoors. Such backdoors remain dormant in the original model but are activated after the model undergoes specific operations, making them highly stealthy and difficult to detect. Traditional defense methods struggle to counter this type of attack, while defenses specifically designed for conditional backdoors also have difficulty handling traditional backdoor attacks. To address these challenges, we propose a universal defense method, termed Logit Margin Repulsion (LMR). LMR uses a small set of clean samples and combines selective cross-entropy with a logit-margin constraint to enlarge the gap between the backdoor class and benign classes. It then removes channels associated with backdoor behavior through selective pruning, thereby achieving strong backdoor purification. Extensive experiments on a variety of CNNs and Vision Transformers demonstrate that, even with an extremely limited amount of clean data (0.1%), LMR can effectively mitigate both traditional and conditional backdoor attacks. The implementation is publicly available on https://github.com/Trusted-LLM/LMR.

Medical imaging remains challenging due to acoustic shadows, motion blur, and indistinct boundaries, while adapting vision models to such domains often requires heavy task-specific fine-tuning and can degrade general-image capability. We propose DCRM-ViT, a domain-conditioned residual modulation framework for Vision Transformers that preserves general-vision knowledge while adapting to diverse medical and natural domains. DCRM-ViT keeps the backbone frozen and augments each block with lightweight Residual Modulation Blocks (RMBs), whose parameters are synthesized per sample by a Domain Router (DR) and a Parameter Synthesizer Network (PSN). The DR predicts soft domain weights from input features, and the PSN maps them to low-rank residuals that modulate selected projections and optionally add a domain-aware attention bias. We train the model with a bi-level optimization scheme, where an inner loop adapts RMBs to task supervision and an outer loop updates DR, PSN, and RMB initialization to improve cross-domain generalization. Across fine-grained classification (Food101, SUN397, Stanford Cars) and medical segmentation (ultrasound, CT, MRI), DCRM-ViT consistently outperforms strong baselines with modest trainable compute. Ablation studies confirm the contribution of the proposed components. Overall, DCRM-ViT achieves strong cross-domain performance with low overhead, requiring only 4.7 GFLOPs and 0.3 min/epoch.

Missing modalities in RGBT tracking often lead to incomplete and unstable multimodal feature representations that greatly degrade the performance. Existing methods typically attempt to recover missing modalities from available ones, but the quality of data generated in challenging scenarios might be unsatisfactory. In addition, current approaches exhibit limited flexibility in processing both missing and complete data. To overcome these limitations, we propose a Spatio-temporal Conditional Denoising Transformer (SCDT), which integrates the spatial cues and the temporal context to adaptively perform information reconstruction of missing modalities and feature enhancement of weak modalities in a unified framework, for robust modality-missing RGBT tracking. In particular, SCDT leverages the short-term temporal cues from recent historical frames to capture the fine-grained temporal correlations and the long-term temporal cues encoding modality evolution to capture the global context. By jointly exploiting long short-term temporal contexts as the conditions, SCDT progressively guides noisy features of available modalities to learn reliable and temporally consistent multimodal representations. Furthermore, SCDT introduces a noise-modulated adaptation mechanism that dynamically adjusts its behavior according to the modal availability, enabling a single framework to unify feature learning under both modality-missing and complete scenarios without changing the architecture or parameters. Extensive experiments on three public benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

A fundamental yet overlooked limitation of current deepfake detection benchmark is the lack of evaluation frameworks that align technical accuracy with real-world impact. We argue that technical metrics may fail to capture models' actual capacity to mitigate real-world harm, as they treat all errors as equally significant. To bridge this gap, we introduce DeepfakeImpact, a two-stage benchmark that moves beyond pure technical evaluation toward societally-aware assessment. In Stage I, we establish standardized technical baselines by evaluating 33 SOTA detection baslines across 12 widely used datasets. In Stage II, we propose a novel metric (Social Misjudgment Impact, SMI) that quantifies the potential social harm of misclassified videos, and construct a SMI-critical dataset containing high-risk samples. By integrating SMI-aware performance metrics, we shift the evaluation focus from "how accurate" to "how socially beneficial" a detector is. DeepfakeImpact thus provides a more realistic and ethically-grounded foundation for assessing deepfake detectors, urging the community to rethink what truly constitutes progress in this field. All resources will be publicly released at: https://anonymous.4open.science/r/DeepfakeImpact-Stage1-F5EC.

3D Gaussian representations have emerged as a powerful paradigm for digital head modeling, achieving photorealistic quality with real-time rendering. However, intuitive and interactive creation or editing of 3D Gaussian head models remains challenging. Although 2D sketches provide an ideal interaction modality for fast, intuitive conceptual design, they are sparse, depth-ambiguous, and lack high-frequency appearance cues, making it difficult to infer dense, geometrically consistent 3D Gaussian structures from strokes--especially under real-time constraints. To address these challenges, we propose SketchFaceGS, the first sketch-driven framework for real-time generation and editing of photorealistic 3D Gaussian head models from 2D sketches. Our method uses a feed-forward, coarse-to-fine architecture. A Transformer-based UV feature-prediction module first reconstructs a coarse but geometrically consistent UV feature map from the input sketch, and then a 3D UV feature enhancement module refines it with high-frequency, photorealistic detail to produce a high-fidelity 3D head. For editing, we introduce a UV Mask Fusion technique combined with a layer-by-layer feature-fusion strategy, enabling precise, real-time, free-viewpoint modifications. Extensive experiments show that SketchFaceGS outperforms existing methods in both generation fidelity and editing flexibility, producing high-quality, editable 3D heads from sketches in a single forward pass.

Accurate estimation of food nutrition plays a vital role in promoting healthy dietary habits and personalized diet management. Most existing food datasets primarily focus on Western cuisines and lack sufficient coverage of Chinese dishes, which restricts accurate nutritional estimation for Chinese meals. Moreover, many state-of-the-art nutrition prediction methods rely on depth sensors, restricting their applicability in daily scenarios. To address these limitations, we introduce OmniFood8K, a comprehensive multimodal dataset comprising 8,036 food samples, each with detailed nutritional annotations and multi-view images. In addition, to enhance models' capability in nutritional prediction, we construct NutritionSynth-115K, a large-scale synthetic dataset that introduces compositional variations while preserving precise nutritional labels. Moreover, we propose an end-to-end framework for nutritional prediction from a single RGB image. First, we predict a depth map from a single RGB image and design the Scale-Shift Residual Adapter (SSRA) to refine it for global scale consistency and local structural preservation. Second, we propose the Frequency-Aligned Fusion Module (FAFM) to hierarchically align and fuse RGB and depth features in the frequency domain. Finally, we design a Mask-based Prediction Head (MPH) to emphasize key ingredient regions via dynamic channel selection for more accurate prediction. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method over existing approaches. Project homepage: https://yudongjian.github.io/OmniFood8K-food/

Dynamic data pruning accelerates deep learning by selectively omitting less informative samples during training. While per-sample loss is a common importance metric, obtaining it can be challenging or infeasible for complex models or loss functions, often requiring significant implementation effort. This work proposes the Batch Loss Score (BLS), a computationally efficient alternative using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of readily available batch losses to assign scores to individual samples. We frame the batch loss, from the perspective of a single sample, as a noisy measurement of its scaled individual loss, with noise originating from stochastic batch composition. It is formally shown that the EMA mechanism functions as a first-order low-pass filter, attenuating high-frequency batch composition noise. This yields a score approximating the smoothed and persistent contribution of the individual sample to the loss, providing a theoretical grounding for BLS as a proxy for sample importance. BLS demonstrates remarkable code integration simplicity (three-line injection) and readily adapts existing per-sample loss-based methods (one-line proxy). Its effectiveness is demonstrated by enhancing two such methods to losslessly prune 20%-50% of samples across 14 datasets, 11 tasks and 18 models, highlighting its utility and broad applicability, especially for complex scenarios where per-sample loss is difficult to access. Code is available at https://github.com/mrazhou/BLS.

Self-supervised feed-forward methods for scene flow estimation offer real-time efficiency, but their supervision from two-frame point correspondences is unreliable and often breaks down under occlusions. Multi-frame supervision has the potential to provide more stable guidance by incorporating motion cues from past frames, yet naive extensions of two-frame objectives are ineffective because point correspondences vary abruptly across frames, producing inconsistent signals.In the paper, we present TeFlow, enabling multi-frame supervision for feed-forward models by mining temporally consistent supervision. TeFlow introduces a temporal ensembling strategy that forms reliable supervisory signals by aggregating the most temporally consistent motion cues from a candidate pool built across multiple frames.Extensive evaluations demonstrate that TeFlow establishes a new state-of-the-art for self-supervised feed-forward methods, achieving performance gains of up to 33% on the challenging Argoverse 2 and nuScenes datasets. Our method performs on par with leading optimization-based methods, yet speeds up 150 times. The code is open-sourced at https://github.com/Kin-Zhang/TeFlow along with trained model weights.

Artistic design, particularly poster design, often demands rapid yet precise modification of textual content while preserving visual harmony and typographic intent, especially across diverse font styles. Although modern image editing models have grown increasingly powerful, they still fall short in fine-grained, font-aware text manipulation, limiting their utility in professional workflows. To address this issue, we present SkyReels-Text, a novel font-controllable framework for precise poster text editing. Our method enables simultaneous editing of multiple text regions, each rendered in distinct typographic styles, while preserving the visual appearance of non-edited regions. Notably, our model requires neither font labels nor test-time fine-tuning: users can simply provide cropped glyph patches corresponding to their desired typography--even if the font is not included in any standard library. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate that SkyReels-Text achieves state-of-the-art performance in both text fidelity and visual realism, offering unprecedented control over font families and stylistic nuances. This work bridges the gap between general-purpose image editing and professional-grade typographic design. Code and models are publicly available at https://github.com/SkyworkAI/SkyReels-Text.

Timely and accurate forecasts of severe weather events are essential for early warning and for constraining downstream analysis and decision-making. Since severe weather events prediction still depends on subjective, time-consuming expert interpretation, end-to-end "AI weather station" systems are emerging but face three major challenges: (1) scarcity of severe weather event samples; (2) imperfect alignment between high-dimensional meteorological data and textual warnings; (3) current multimodal language models cannot effectively process high-dimensional meteorological inputs or capture their complex spatiotemporal dependencies. To address these challenges, we introduce MP-Bench, the first large-scale multimodal dataset for severe weather events prediction, comprising 421,363 pairs of raw multi-year meteorological data and corresponding text caption, covering a wide range of severe weather scenarios. On top of this dataset, we develop a Meteorology Multimodal Large Model (MMLM) that directly ingests 4D meteorological inputs. In addition, it is designed to accommodate the unique characteristics of 4D meteorological data flow, incorporating three plug-and-play adaptive fusion modules that enable dynamic feature extraction and integration across temporal sequences, vertical pressure layers, and spatial dimensions. Extensive experiments on MP-Bench show that MMLM achieves strong performance across multiple tasks, demonstrating effective severe weather understanding and representing a key step toward automated, AI-driven severe weather events forecasting systems.

Reconstructing video content from EEG (electroencephalogram) is a research task of significant scientific importance. However, due to inter-subject differences in physiological states and variations in signal acquisition configurations, this task faces the challenge of inconsistent cross-subject generation.To address this, we propose a Subject Adversarial and Mapping Network (SAM-Net). In SAM-Net, we first introduce a Hybrid Region-Temporal (HRT) Encoder to conduct inter-channel semantic interactions guided by brain regions and aggregate temporal semantics across different time scales. Secondly, we propose a Centered-progressive Subject Adversarial (C-SA) Mechanism to gradually narrow the metric distance between different subjects, thereby obtaining a unified and stable semantic representation. Thirdly, we design a New2Source Mapper to align the EEG distribution of new subjects with that of multiple known subjects. Finally, we adopt a keyframe-guided continuous semantic generation paradigm to drive the production of coherent and high-quality videos. Extensive experiments validate the competitive performance of our SAM-Net in cross-subject EEG-to-Video generation tasks, as well as its excellent performance in generation tasks involving new subjects.

Old photos preserve invaluable historical memories, making their restoration and colorization highly desirable. While existing restoration models can address some degradation issues like denoising and scratch removal, they often struggle with accurate colorization.This limitation arises from the unique degradation inherent in old photos, such as faded brightness and altered color hues, which are different from modern photo distributions, creating a substantial domain gap during colorization. In this paper, we propose a novel old photo colorization framework based on the generative diffusion model FLUX. Our approach introduces a structure-color decoupling strategy that separates structure preservation from color restoration, enabling accurate colorization of old photos while maintaining structural consistency. We further enhance the model with a progressive Direct Preference Optimization (Pro-DPO) strategy, which allows the model to learn subtle color preferences through coarse-to-fine transitions in color augmentation. Additionally, we address the limitations of text-based prompts by introducing visual semantic prompts, which extract fine-grained semantic information directly from old photos, helping to eliminate the color bias inherent in old photos. Experimental results on both synthetic and real datasets demonstrate that our approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art colorization methods, including closed-source commercial models, producing high-quality and vivid colorization.

Accurate image segmentation is essential for modern computer vision applications such as image editing, autonomous driving, and medical image analysis. In recent years, Dichotomous Image Segmentation (DIS) has become a standard task for training and evaluating highly accurate segmentation models. Existing DIS approaches often fail to preserve fine-grained details or fully capture the semantic structure of the foreground. To address these challenges, we present FlowDIS, a novel dichotomous image segmentation method built on the flow matching framework, which learns a time-dependent vector field to transport the image distribution to the corresponding mask distribution, optionally conditioned on a text prompt. Moreover, with our Position-Aware Instance Pairing (PAIP) training strategy, FlowDIS offers strong controllability through text prompts, enabling precise, pixel-level object segmentation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art approaches both with and without language guidance. Compared with the best prior DIS method, FlowDIS achieves a 5.5% higher F_beta^omega measure and 43% lower MAE (M) on the DIS-TE test set. The code is available at: https://github.com/Picsart-AI-Research/FlowDIS.

Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding (STVG) requires models to localize objects both spatially and temporally. Despite recent progress, existing methods struggle with complex and fine-grained spatial semantics in language descriptions, leading to error propagation from temporal to spatial grounding stages. We attribute this limitation to the lack of iterative refinement between temporal and spatial predictions. To address these challenges, we propose SARL-STG, the first RL-based framework for STVG. It progressively refines spatio-temporal grounding through multi-stage training with dynamic interaction between temporal and spatial modules. Specifically, SARL-STG contains: (1) a unified architecture that seamlessly integrates a pretrained MLLM for temporal reasoning with an open-vocabulary detector for spatial localization, (2) a hierarchical RL training strategy that progresses from coarse temporal to fine-grained spatio-temporal optimization, and (3) a spatial knowledge-injected reward mechanism that uses spatial grounding quality as discriminative signals for temporal refinement. To facilitate training at scale, we also construct STVG-Wild, a large-scale dataset with diverse spatio-temporal annotations. Experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple benchmarks (HCSTVG, VidSTG, Charades-STA, etc.), significantly reducing error accumulation and enhancing both temporal and spatial grounding accuracy.
