Estimating 3D geometry in underwater environments presents unique challenges due to light attenuation, scattering, and the absence of large-scale, high-quality 3D annotations. Pioneering methods rely on massive dense annotations that are impractical in underwater settings. In this paper, we propose Wat3R, a cross-domain semi-supervised learning framework designed to adapt feed-forward 3D reconstru...
Scaling 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to large outdoor scenes is costly in both data acquisition and computation. Adopting panoramic images with equirectangular projection (ERP) can reduce capture effort via their full $360^{\circ}$ field of view, yet the resulting omnipresent visibility invalidates existing partitioning strategies that rely on local camera frustums, causing block-wise optimization...
Generating realistic 3D human motions in real-time within interactive applications is key for animation, simulation, and humanoid robotics. While recent offline motion generation approaches offer precise control via text and kinematic constraints, they lack the inference speed required for interactive settings. Conversely, existing online methods enable real-time synthesis but often sacrifice cont...
The recently established 'Out of Sight, Not out of Mind' (OSNOM) task for egocentric videos focuses on tracking objects that are moved by the camera wearer, online, maintaining knowledge of instance locations throughout the video even when they leave the field of view or become heavily occluded. In this paper, we propose the first learning-based solution to the OSNOM task: Whareformer, a transform...
Gaussian splatting is the current state-of-the-art for dense, deformable 3D anatomy reconstruction in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS); however, most pipelines are offline and depend on accurate camera trajectory priors (often from robotic kinematics), limiting applicability when priors are missing or noisy. To address these limitations, we propose Track2Map, an online 3D Gaussian...
Standard pipelines for physics-ready 3D reconstruction rely on a decoupled two-stage paradigm: extracting surface geometry followed by an error-prone tetrahedralization process. While recent Lagrangian methods like TetSphere Splatting attempt to bypass this by directly optimizing volumetric primitives, their homeomorphic constraints prevent topology-adaptive optimization. Consequently, they produc...
Reasoning has become a core capability for large models, especially when reliable decisions require understanding logical consequences. Recent video generation models offer a reasoning path distinct from previous Chain-of-Thought (CoT): reasoning can unfold through temporally connected frames, known as Chain-of-Frame (CoF) reasoning. However, existing video generators are primarily trained on gene...
We present MulTTiPop, a dataset of pop music segments and their associated multitrack MIDI recordings for the evaluation of automatic music transcription models. MulTTiPop contains 572 segments of popular music totaling 3.5 hours of audio, and contains songs from diverse genres and decades from the 1930s to 2000s. To collect this dataset, we perform metadata-based matching on song segments from th...
Modern Video Object Segmentation (VOS) involves tracking and segmenting user-specified targets. While recent approaches have achieved remarkable performance in single-target scenarios, extending them to multi-target settings typically involves replicating the single-target processing for each individual object, resulting in reduced frame rates (FPS) with unbounded latency as target count increases...
Biomedical language evolves rapidly as new discoveries emerge, causing traditional text models to lose semantic fidelity over time. Static embeddings and co-occurrence graphs cannot capture such evolution, leading to performance degradation in retrieval and knowledge discovery tasks. This paper introduces a Drift-Aware Temporal Graph Rewiring (DATGR) framework that models concept evolution by dyna...
Mechanistic interpretability often evaluates explanations by intervening on a model: swapping hidden states, patching activations, ablating components, or comparing a compressed model to the original one. These experiments are usually summarized by a point estimate, even though the evaluation may be monitored while it runs or adapted toward suspected failures. This makes it hard to tell whether a ...
How should language interface with a world model's discrete symbol system? The dominant paradigm -- end-to-end injection of LLM/VLM features into robot world models (RT-2, Octo, PaLM-E) -- implicitly assumes that language gradients can directly shape physical symbol representations. We ask whether this assumption is safe, find that it is not, and characterize the minimal architectural constraint t...
Forecasting the future anatomy of slow-evolving neurodegenerative diseases could enable earlier, more targeted intervention and improve clinical trial design, but it remains challenging because true progression signals are subtle in longitudinal MRI. In this low-signal regime, transferring modern generative sequence models directly is unreliable: training is dominated by stable baseline anatomy an...
Photorealistic Style Transfer (PST) aims to transfer the color and tonal style of a reference to a content image while strictly preserving its structural integrity. However, existing deep learning-based methods inherently suffer from semantic entanglement caused by pre-trained image encoders, leading to unnatural spatial distortions. Moreover, current pixel-level mapping paradigms often ignore col...
Progress in colonoscopy polyp segmentation is routinely reported through leaderboard comparisons on a small set of public benchmarks. We argue that this apparent progress is difficult to verify: a systematic audit of \textbf{27 papers} published between 2015 and 2026 reveals three structural problems in how the community evaluates models. \textbf{First}, 25 of 27 papers \textit{omit the Hausdorff ...
