Understanding a procedural activity requires modeling both how action steps transform the scene, and how evolving scene transformations can influence the sequence of action steps, even those that are accidental or erroneous. Existing work has studied procedure-aware video representations by modeling the temporal order of actions, but has not explicitly learned the state changes (scene transformations). In this work, we study procedure-aware video representation learning by incorporating state-change descriptions generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) as supervision signals for video encoders. Moreover, we generate state-change counterfactuals that simulate hypothesized failure outcomes, allowing models to learn by imagining unseen "What if" scenarios. This counterfactual reasoning facilitates the model's ability to understand the cause and effect of each step in an activity. We conduct extensive experiments on procedure-aware tasks, including temporal action segmentation, error detection, action phase classification, frame retrieval, multi-instance retrieval, and action recognition. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed state-change descriptions and their counterfactuals, and achieve significant improvements on multiple tasks.

Vision-language models (VLMs) (e.g., CLIP, LLaVA) are trained on large-scale, lightly curated web datasets, leading them to learn unintended correlations between semantic concepts and unrelated visual signals. These associations degrade model accuracy by causing predictions to rely on incidental patterns rather than genuine visual understanding. Prior work has weaponized these correlations as an attack vector to manipulate model predictions, such as inserting a deceiving class text onto the image in a "typographic" attack. These attacks succeed due to VLMs' text-heavy bias--a result of captions that echo visible words rather than describing content. However, this attack has focused solely on text that matches the target class exactly, overlooking a broader range of correlations, including non-matching text and graphical symbols, which arise from the abundance of branding content in web-scale data. To address this gap, we introduce "artifact-based" attacks: a novel class of manipulations that mislead models using both non-matching text and graphical elements. Unlike typographic attacks, these artifacts are not predefined, making them simultaneously harder to defend against and more challenging to find. We address this by framing artifact attacks as a search problem and demonstrate their effectiveness across five datasets, with some artifacts reinforcing each other to reach 100% attack success rates. These attacks transfer across models with up to 90% effectiveness, making it possible to attack unseen models. To defend against these attacks, we extend prior work's artifact aware prompting to the graphical setting. We see a moderate reduction of success rates of up to 15% relative to standard prompts, suggesting a promising direction for enhancing model robustness.

histopathology images is a fundamental task in computational pathology. It is also a very challenging task due to complex nuclei morphologies, ambiguous boundaries, and staining variations. Existing methods often struggle to precisely delineate overlapping nuclei and handle class imbalance. We introduce WeaveSeg, a novel deep learning model for nuclei instance segmentation that significantly improves segmentation performance via synergistic integration of adaptive spectral feature refinement and iterative contrast-weaving. WeaveSeg features an adaptive spectral detail refinement (SAR) module for multi-scale feature enhancement via adaptive frequency component fusion, and an iterative contrast-weaving (ICW) module that progressively refines features through integrating contrastive attention, decoupled semantic context, and adaptive gating. Furthermore, we introduce a specialized uncertainty loss to explicitly model ambiguous regions, and a novel local contrast-based self-adaptive adjustment mechanism to accommodate dynamic feature distributions. Extensive experiments on MoNuSeg and CoNSeP demonstrate WeaveSeg's SOTA performance over existing models. Code will be publicly available.

Establishing dense correspondences across image pairs is essential for tasks such as shape reconstruction and robot manipulation. In the challenging setting of matching across different categories, the function of an object, i.e., the effect that an object can cause on other objects, can guide how correspondences should be established. This is because object parts that enable specific functions often share similarities in shape and appearance. We derive the definition of dense functional correspondence based on this observation and propose a weakly-supervised learning paradigm to tackle the prediction task. The main insight behind our approach is that we can leverage vision-language models to pseudo-label multi-view images to obtain functional parts. We then integrate this with dense contrastive learning from pixel correspondences to distill both functional and spatial knowledge into a new model that can establish dense functional correspondence. Further, we curate synthetic and real evaluation datasets as task benchmarks. Our results demonstrate the advantages of our approach over baseline solutions consisting of off-the-shelf self-supervised image representations and grounded vision language models.

To reduce the reliance of visible-infrared person re-identification (ReID) models on labeled cross-modal samples, this paper explores a weakly supervised cross-modal person ReID method that uses only single-modal sample identity labels, addressing scenarios where cross-modal identity labels are unavailable. To mitigate the impact of missing cross-modal labels on model performance, we propose a heterogeneous expert collaborative consistency learning framework, designed to establish robust cross-modal identity correspondences in a weakly supervised manner. This framework leverages labeled data from each modality to independently train dedicated classification experts. To associate cross-modal samples, these classification experts act as heterogeneous predictors, predicting the identities of samples from the other modality. To improve prediction accuracy, we design a cross-modal relationship fusion mechanism that effectively integrates predictions from different experts. Under the implicit supervision provided by cross-modal identity correspondences, collaborative and consistent learning among the experts is encouraged, significantly enhancing the model's ability to extract modality-invariant features and improve cross-modal identity recognition. Experimental results on two challenging datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Code is available at https://github.com/KongLingqi2333/WSL-VIReID.

Policy learning focuses on devising strategies for agents in embodied artificial intelligence systems to perform optimal actions based on their perceived states. One of the key challenges in policy learning involves handling complex, long-horizon tasks that require managing extensive sequences of actions and observations with multiple modes. Wavelet analysis offers significant advantages in signal processing, notably in decomposing signals at multiple scales to capture both global trends and fine-grained details. In this work, we introduce a novel wavelet policy learning framework that utilizes wavelet transformations to enhance policy learning. Our approach leverages learnable multi-scale wavelet decomposition to facilitate detailed observation analysis and robust action planning over extended sequences. We detail the design and implementation of our wavelet policy, which incorporates lifting schemes for effective multi-resolution analysis and action generation. This framework is evaluated across multiple complex scenarios, including robotic manipulation, self-driving, and multi-robot collaboration, demonstrating the effectiveness of our method in improving the precision and reliability of the learned policy.

Leveraging the complementary characteristics of visible (RGB) and infrared (IR) imagery offers significant potential for improving object detection. In this paper, we propose WaveMamba, a cross-modality fusion method that efficiently integrates the unique and complementary frequency features of RGB and IR decomposed by Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). An improved detection head incorporating the Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform (IDWT) is also proposed to reduce information loss and produce the final detection results. The core of our approach is the introduction of WaveMamba Fusion Block (WMFB), which facilitates comprehensive fusion across low-/high-frequency sub-bands. Within WMFB, the Low-frequency Mamba Fusion Block (LMFB), built upon the Mamba framework, first performs initial low-frequency feature fusion with channel swapping, followed by deep fusion with an advanced gated attention mechanism for enhanced integration. High-frequency features are enhanced using a strategy that applies an "absolute maximum" fusion approach. These advancements lead to significant performance gains, with our method surpassing state-of-the-art approaches and achieving average mAP improvements of 4.5% on four benchmarks.

The Mamba model excels in anomaly detection through efficient long-range dependency modeling and linear complexity. However, Mamba-based anomaly detectors still face two critical challenges: (1) insufficient modeling of diverse local features leading to inaccurate detection of subtle anomalies; (2) spatial-wise scanning mechanism disrupting the spatial continuity of large-scale anomalies, resulting in incomplete localization. To address these challenges, we propose Wave-MambaAD, a wavelet-driven state space model for unified subtle and large-scale anomaly detection. Firstly, to capture subtle anomalies, we design a high-frequency state space model that employs horizontal, vertical, and diagonal scanning mechanisms for processing directionally aligned high-frequency components, enabling precise anomaly detection through multidimensional feature extraction. Secondly, for comprehensive localization of large-scale anomalies, we propose a low-frequency state space model implementing channel-adaptive dynamic scanning mechanisms to maintain structural coherence in global contexts, which facilitates large-scale anomaly detection via adaptive feature integration. Finally, we develop a dynamic spatial enhancement block to improve anomalous feature representation by enhancing feature diversity through coordinated inter-channel communication and adaptive gating mechanisms. Comprehensive experiments on benchmark anomaly detection datasets show that Wave-MambaAD achieves competitive performance at lower parameters and computational costs.

Large-scale text-to-image diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in image generation, thereby driving the development of stylized image generation technologies. Recent studies introduce style information by empirically replacing specific features in attention blocks with style features. However, the relationship between features and style remains unclear. In this paper, we systematically analyze the relationship between features in attention blocks and style. By quantifying the distribution discrepancy induced by style variations using the Wasserstein distance, we find that features in self-attention blocks exhibit high sensitivity to style compared to features in cross-attention blocks. Our analysis provides valuable insights into the contribution of different features to style. Based on our findings, we propose a novel Wasserstein Style Distribution Transform (WSDT) method, which generates stylized images by transforming the distribution of style-sensitive features to align with that of style features. WSDT applies channel adaptive distribution transform to ensure that information not related to the style is not introduced. Our approach is simple yet efficient, optimization-free, and can be seamlessly integrated into attention-based text-to-image diffusion models. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in stylized image generation tasks.

We address the 3D head reconstruction problem and the facial correspondence search problem in a unified framework, named as WarpHE4D. The underlying idea is to establish correspondences between the facial image and the fixed UV texture map by exploiting powerful self-supervised visual representations, i.e., DINOv2. In other words, we predict UV coordinates for each pixel that maps the pixel to a point in the UV map. At the same time, we predict the nose-centered depth map leveraged by the facial correspondences. Note that our framework does not require fitting a template model, \text e.g., 3DMM, to the image, which directly regresses 4D vectors for each pixel. The experimental results show that our approach not only improves the accuracy of head geometry but also significantly improves the robustness under pose or viewpoint variations, particularly when the head is rotated more than 90 degrees. We believe our method can be a groundwork for photorealistic head avatar generation, even in uncalibrated camera settings.

Approximately 200 million individuals around the world suffer from varying degrees of visual impairment, making it crucial to leverage AI technology to offer walking assistance for these people.With the recent progress of vision-language models (VLMs), applying VLMs to offer walking guidance has become popular. However, the existing methods of walking guidance are mainly based on self-curated question-answering datasets that are not publicly accessible, without a standardized benchmark for training or evaluation. Moreover, walking assistance often requires real-time streaming video analysis and the generation of concise yet informative reminders, making VLMs struggle due to excessive responses and low efficiency in inferences. In this paper, we introduce the first large-scale dataset dedicated to walking assistance, comprising 12,000 video-annotation pairs, to provide a unified benchmark for training and evaluating systems to help visually-impaired individuals walk. Furthermore, a WalkVLM model is proposed, which employs chain of thought for hierarchical planning to generate concise but informative reminders and utilizes temporal-aware adaptive prediction to reduce the temporal redundancy of reminders. Finally, we have established a solid benchmark for blind walking task and verified the advantages of WalkVLM in stream video processing for this task compared to other VLMs.

Recent advances in computational pathology have introduced whole slide image (WSI)-level multimodal large language models (MLLMs) for automated pathological analysis. However, current WSI-level MLLMs face two critical challenges: limited explainability in their decision-making process and insufficient attention to morphological features crucial for accurate diagnosis. To address these challenges, we first introduce WSI-Bench, a large-scale morphology-aware benchmark containing 180k VQA pairs from 9,850 WSIs across 30 cancer types, specifically designed to evaluate MLLMs' understanding of morphological characteristics crucial for accurate diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, WSI-Bench presents the first benchmarking systematically evaluate morphological understanding capabilities in WSI analysis. To enhance the model explainability, we present WSI-LLaVA, an MLLM framework for gigapixel WSI understanding with a three-stage training strategy, which can provide detailed morphological findings to explain its final answer. For more precise model assessment in pathological contexts, we develop two specialized WSI metrics: WSI-Precision and WSI-Relevance. Extensive evaluation on WSI-Bench reveals both the capabilities and limitations of current WSI MLLMs in morphological analysis and various pathology tasks, while demonstrating WSI-LLaVA's superior performance across all capabilities.

In this work we present WIR3D, a technique for abstracting 3D shapes through a sparse set of visually meaningful curves in 3D. We optimize the parameters of Bezier curves such that they faithfully represent both the geometry and salient visual features (e.g. texture) of the shape from arbitrary viewpoints. We leverage the intermediate activations of a pre-trained foundation model (CLIP) to guide our optimization process. We divide our optimization into two phases: one for capturing the coarse geometry of the shape, and the other for representing fine-grained features. Our second phase supervision is spatially guided by a novel localized keypoint loss. This spatial guidance enables user control over abstracted features. We ensure fidelity to the original surface through a neural SDF loss, which allows the curves to be used as intuitive deformation handles. We successfully apply our method for shape abstraction over a broad dataset of shapes with varying complexity, geometric structure, and texture, and demonstrate downstream applications for feature control and shape deformation.

Pursuing a continuous visual representation that offers flexible frequency modulation and fast rendering speed has recently garnered increasing attention in the fields of 3D vision and graphics. However, existing representations often rely on frequency guidance or complex neural network decoding, leading to spectrum loss or slow rendering. To address these limitations, we propose **WIPES**, a universal **W**avelet-based v**I**sual **P**rimitiv**ES** for representing multi-dimensional visual signals. Building on the spatial-frequency localization advantages of wavelets, WIPES effectively captures both the low-frequency "forest" and the high-frequency "trees." Additionally, we develop a wavelet-based differentiable rasterizer to achieve fast visual rendering. Experimental results on various visual tasks, including 2D image representation, 5D static and 6D dynamic novel view synthesis, demonstrate that WIPES, as a visual primitive, offers higher rendering quality and faster inference than INR-based methods, and outperforms Gaussian-based representations in rendering quality.

Recent GPUs leverage Winograd convolution and structured pruning to significantly accelerate inference. First, Winograd convolution is theoretically 2.25x faster than standard convolution. Second, structured pruning reduces inference time without additional overhead as the pruning ratio increases. However, applying conventional structured pruning alongside Winograd convolution is inefficient. Existing structured pruning methods, which do not account for how GPUs process Winograd convolution, require large pruning unit sizes, leading to significant information loss. In this paper, we propose Winograd Structured Pruning (WINS), the first approach to employ optimized structured pruning for Winograd convolution. WINS is designed based on an in-depth analysis of Winograd convolution's computational characteristics on GPUs. Additionally, we introduce two variants, WINS-B and WINS-AB, which further enhance performance. Experimental results show that WINS-AB achieves up to 2.8x practical speedup in baseline inference on GPUs while preserving the accuracy of ResNet-18 on ImageNet.

Generating high-quality novel views of a scene from a single image requires maintaining structural coherence across different views, referred to as view consistency.While diffusion models have driven advancements in novel view synthesis, they still struggle to preserve spatial continuity across views. Diffusion models have been combined with 3D models to address the issue, but such approaches lack efficiency due to their complex multi-step pipelines.This paper proposes a novel view-consistent image generation method which utilizes diffusion models without additional modules. Our key idea is to enhance diffusion models with a training-free method that enables adaptive attention manipulation and noise reinitialization by leveraging view-guided warping to ensure view consistency. Through our comprehensive metric framework suitable for novel-view datasets, we show that our method improves view consistency across various diffusion models, demonstrating its broader applicability.

Detecting deepfake videos is highly challenging given the complexity of characterizing spatio-temporal artifacts. Most existing methods rely on binary classifiers trained using real and fake image sequences, therefore hindering their generalization capabilities to unseen generation methods. Moreover, with the constant progress in generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), deepfake artifacts are becoming imperceptible at both the spatial and the temporal levels, making them extremely difficult to capture. To address these issues, we propose a fine-grained deepfake video detection approach called FakeSTormer that enforces the modeling of subtle spatio-temporal inconsistencies while avoiding overfitting. Specifically, we introduce a multi-task learning framework that incorporates two auxiliary branches for explicitly attending artifact-prone spatial and temporal regions. Additionally, we propose a video-level data synthesis strategy that generates pseudo-fake videos with subtle spatio-temporal artifacts, providing high-quality samples and hand-free annotations for our additional branches. Extensive experiments on several challenging benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our approach compared to recent state-of-the-art methods. The code is available at https://github.com/10Ring/FakeSTormer.

The problem of generating a perpetual dynamic scene from a single view is an important problem with widespread applications in augmented and virtual reality, and robotics. However, since dynamic scenes regularly change over time, a key challenge is to ensure that different generated views be consistent with the underlying 3D motions. Prior work learns such consistency by training on multiple views, but the generated scene regions often interpolate between training views and fail to generate perpetual views. To address this issue, we propose DynamicVoyager, which reformulates dynamic scene generation as a scene outpainting problem with new dynamic content. As 2D outpainting models struggle at generating 3D consistent motions from a single 2D view, we enrich 2D pixels with information from their 3D rays that facilitates learning of 3D motion consistency. More specifically, we first map the single-view video input to a dynamic point cloud using the estimated video depths. We then render a partial video of the point cloud from a novel view and outpaint the missing regions using ray information (e.g., the distance from a ray to the point cloud) to generate 3D consistent motions. Next, we use the outpainted video to update the point cloud, which is used for outpainting the scene from future novel views. Moreover, we can control the generated content with the input text prompt. Experiments show that our model can generate perpetual scenes with consistent motions along fly-through cameras.

We present VoxelKP, a novel fully sparse network architecture tailored for human keypoint estimation in LiDAR data. The key challenge is that objects are distributed sparsely in 3D space, while human keypoint detection requires detailed local information wherever humans are present. First, we introduce a dual-branch fully sparse spatial-context block where the spatial branch focuses on learning the local spatial correlations between keypoints within each human instance, while the context branch aims to retain the global spatial information. Second, we use a spatially aware multi-scale BEV fusion technique to leverage absolute 3D coordinates when projecting 3D voxels to a 2D grid encoding a bird's eye view for better preservation of the global context of each human instance. We evaluate our method on the Waymo dataset and achieve an improvement of 27% on the MPJPE metric compared to the state-of-the-art, HUM3DIL, trained on the same data, and 12% against the state-of-the-art, GC-KPL, pretrained on a 25xlarger dataset. To the best of our knowledge, VoxelKP is the first single-staged, fully sparse network that is specifically designed for addressing the challenging task of 3D keypoint estimation from LiDAR data, achieving state-of-the-art performance. Our code is available at https://github.com/shijianjian/VoxelKP.
