Bake It Till You Make It: Ultrafast Spatial Texture-Atlas Splatting

Neel Kelkar, Simon Niedermayr, Kaloian Petkov, Klaus Engel, Rüdiger Westermann

Recent extensions of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) capture fine color details using hash-grid-based appearance parameterization but incur high computational cost during fragment rendering. We introduce a decoupled radiance representation that models low-frequency geometry and view dependent appearance features with 2D surfels while representing high-frequency textures via a view-independent spatial...

Peak-End-Net: A Peak-End Rule Inspired Framework for Generalizable Video Aesthetic Assessment

Geng Li, Haiwen Li, Rui Chen, Jing Tang, Lei Sun et al.

Video aesthetic assessment (VAA) aims to predict how aesthetically pleasing a video is, yet remains far less explored than other visual assessment tasks. Its progress is hindered not only by the scarcity of large-scale benchmarks, but also by the intrinsic subjectivity of aesthetic judgment, which is shaped by human perception. In this paper, we revisit VAA from a psychological perspective and pro...

NodeImport: Imbalanced Node Classification with Node Importance Assessment

Nan Chen, Zemin Liu, Bryan Hooi, Bingsheng He, Jun Hu et al.

In real-world applications, node classification on graphs often faces the challenge of class imbalance, where majority classes dominate training, resulting in biased model performance. Traditional GNNs often struggle in such scenarios, as they tend to overfit to majority classes while underrepresenting minority classes. Existing solutions, which either prioritize nodes based on class size or synth...

AspectCLIP: Optimizing CLIP Representation Space via Aspect-Guided Consistency Regularization

Yiyang Yao, Shanglin Liu, Jianming Lv, Chengjun Wang, Jinyi Li et al.

Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining learns a shared representation space through large-scale contrastive learning. However, existing methods that enforce global consistency regularization overlook a key challenge: the inherent information asymmetry between images and text: captions typically describe only one specific aspect of an image, thus images with similar visual content can be paired wit...

CAVA: Canonical Action Verification and Attestation for Runtime Governance of Agentic AI Systems

Zexun Wang

Agentic AI systems increasingly act through heterogeneous runtimes: local coding hooks, SDK tools, browser automation, managed-agent traces, API gateways, and workflow engines. A single operational act such as publishing code, changing identity state, moving money, or exporting data may therefore be represented by many incompatible runtime records. This makes a basic governance question difficult ...

Towards Spatial Supersensing in the Wild

Tianjun Gu, Tianyu Xin, Kuan Zhang, Bowen Yang, Kok-Chung Chua et al.

Humans can efficiently parse continuous sensory streams, from hours to years, scaffolding an internal world model that grounds spatial reasoning and prediction. To mimic this capacity, spatial supersensing challenges multimodal models to move beyond linguistic understanding toward true world modeling. However, their benchmark relies on synthetic long videos, formed by concatenating random short cl...

How the Hessian-Spectrum of Neural Networks Depends on Data

Jasraj Singh, Enea Monzio Compagnoni, Antonio Orvieto

The Hessian matrix is an important quantity of interest when it comes to studying the loss landscape and optimization dynamics in deep learning, as well as designing measures of generalization, second-order learning algorithms, etc. Prior works have focused on empirical results or pursued a theoretical treatment under overly simplified settings. In this work, we derive the eigenvalues of the Hessi...

Agile perceptive multi-skill locomotion for quadrupedal robots in the wild

Jun-Gill Kang, Jaehyun Park, Tae-Gyu Song, Joon-Ha Kim, Seungwoo Hong et al.

Enabling quadrupedal robots to traverse complex terrains-from rugged outdoor environments to urban landscapes-requires seamless integration of multiple motor skills, smooth transitions between gaits, and high-speed perceptive locomotion using only onboard sensors. We present APT-RL (Action Pretrained Transformer-based Reinforcement Learning), a unified framework that enables multi-skill locomotion...
