Abstract

By utilizing previously known areas in an image, intra-prediction techniques can find a good estimate of the current block. This allows the encoder to store only the error between the original block and the generated estimate, thus leading to an improvement in coding efficiency. Standards such as AVC and HEVC describe expert-designed prediction modes operating in certain angular orientations alongside separate DC and planar prediction modes. Being designed predictors, while these techniques have been demonstrated to perform well in image and video coding applications, they do not necessarily fully utilize natural image structures. In this paper, we describe a novel system for developing predictors derived from natural image blocks. The proposed algorithm is seeded with designed predictors (e.g. HEVC-style prediction) and allowed to iteratively refine these predictors through regularized regression. The resulting prediction models show significant improvements in estimation quality over their designed counterparts across all conditions while maintaining reasonable computational complexity. We also demonstrate how the proposed algorithm handles the worst-case scenario of intra-prediction with no error reporting.

Multi-Faceted Evaluation and Mitigation of Emotion Hallucinations in MLLMs

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential in open-ended emotion understanding, yet they often generate emotion hallucinations. Evaluating such hallucinations is particularly challenging for two reasons. First, emotion understanding spans multiple cognitive facets, from multimodal perception to psychological reasoning. Second, emotional interpretations are expressed in free-form language, making existing closed-ended protocols insufficient for evaluation. To address these challenges, we introduce EHR (Emotion Hallucination Rate), an evaluator that quantifies emotion hallucinations across six facets: expression, action, audio, instinct, logic, and conclusion. Using EHR, we reveal that existing mitigation methods often reduce hallucinations in some facets while aggravating them in others, exposing the limitation of coarse-grained correction and the need for facet-aware localization and mitigation. Motivated by this finding, we propose HMER (Hallucination-aware Memory-guided Emotion Reasoning), a training-free framework for emotion hallucination mitigation. HMER maintains a Hallucination Memory that records localized hallucinated claims and enables targeted logit rectification, together with an Anchor Memory that preserves reliable intermediate reasoning states to stabilize subsequent generation. By selectively suppressing unreliable cues while preserving trustworthy reasoning context, HMER enables fine-grained mitigation across diverse hallucination facets. Extensive experiments on 19 MLLMs demonstrate the prevalence of emotion hallucinations and the effectiveness of our framework across diverse model architectures.

Multimodal Temporal Modeling for Continuous Group Emotion Recognition in Multi-party Dialogues

To realize natural behavior in dialogue agents in multi-party dialogue scenarios, it is important to understand group emotion such as valence and arousal as a whole. Most prior work addressed this task at the utterance level or using a coarse-grained time window, which is not sufficient to capture emotional dynamics. In this study, we formulate continuous recognition of the Group Emotion at a one-second resolution. Moreover, we also introduce the Mixed state, which captures the emotional divergence among participants in the group. We constructed a dataset with frame-level soft labels based on the TEIDAN corpus and propose a multimodal temporal framework that integrates audio and video information using a sliding-window context. Experimental results demonstrate that the temporal Transformer outperforms simple baselines and shows stronger temporal agreement with the ground-truth labels than the LLM-based model. The effect of context length is limited, whereas audio-visual input outperforms either unimodal input on the continuous-label metrics. Additionally, our analysis shows larger Group Emotion recognition errors in intervals with high Mixed values, exposing emotional divergence as a key challenge for group emotion recognition.

MotionCanvas: Learning Implicit Motion Planning from Composable Kinematic Cues

Professional character animation requires both natural motion and precise, versatile control. For example, it is common for the creators to define the timing of a specified action, to control the motion range of the character's arm swing, and the route the character walks through, like specifying various kinematic motion cues on a ``motion canvas''. This motivates us to propose MotionCanvas, a model that supports \emph{cue-conditioned implicit motion planning} to faithfully and coherently connect all cues, dense or sparse, full or partial, into one full-body motion sequence. Specifically, MotionCanvas represents heterogeneous kinematic cues on a shared motion canvas, where position and rotation values are specified across body joints and time. A shared flow-matching model generates motion conditioned on this canvas, with optional language and input motion; cue imputation keeps the specified canvas values fixed in both training and sampling. To learn coherent completion across different cue sets, we train with a compositional cue sampler that varies when cues are applied, which positions or rotations are specified, and how they are combined. Together, these designs enable a single generator to synthesize globally coherent actions that jointly satisfy compatible heterogeneous cues. We test this planning ability with temporal, root, and body-part cues---alone and in combination---and language-guided editing. We naturally extend this evaluation to sequential generation and motion repair, since both require the same ability to organize coherent motion from kinematic cues. Across these evaluations, MotionCanvas establishes state-of-the-art results in controlled-motion quality, mixed-cue adherence, sequential generation, instruction editing, and motion repair while preserving its text-to-motion capability.
