Hypergraph as Language

Large language models (LLMs) have recently shown strong potential in modeling relational structures. However, existing approaches remain fundamentally graph-centric: they focus on processing pairwise graph structures into tokens that LLMs can understand. In contrast, many real-world relational patterns do not naturally conform to the pairwise-edge assumption, and are better modeled as high-order associations in hypergraphs. For hypergraph structures, existing methods often fail to preserve the native semantics that multiple objects are jointly connected by the same high-order relation, limiting their ability to exploit complex structures. To address this limitation, we put forth the "Hypergraph as Language" perspective and propose Hyper-Align, a hypergraph-native alignment framework for large language models. Hyper-Align compiles the query-object-centered hypergraph context into hypergraph tokens directly consumable by a base LLM. Specifically, we introduce Hypergraph Incidence Detail Template with Overview (HIDT-O), which serializes high-order association structures into a fixed-shape hybrid template combining local incidence details and overview-level summaries. We then design a Hypergraph Incidence Projector (HIP), which maps native high-order incidence structures into the LLM token space through explicit semantic-structural decoupling and bidirectional message passing between vertices and hyperedges. We further define a concrete Hypergraph-as-Language input protocol, which jointly feeds hypergraph tokens and textual prompts into a frozen base LLM, supporting both vertex-level and hyperedge-level tasks under a unified question-answering paradigm. To systematically evaluate different methods in hypergraph structural modeling, we introduce HyperAlign-Bench. Extensive experiments show that Hyper-Align significantly outperforms existing methods across in-domain and zero-shot evaluations.

Hyper-FSAD: Training-Free and Language-Free Few-Shot Anomaly Detection via Sparse Hyper Matching

Few-shot anomaly detection (FSAD) is particularly valuable when only a few normal images are available in a new target domain, while anomalous cases are rare, diverse, and difficult to enumerate in advance. However, existing methods often still require task-specific fitting or language prompts, and their patch-level retrieval commonly relies on brittle nearest-neighbor or fixed Top-$p$ rules. We propose \textbf{Hyper-FSAD}, a training-free and language-free framework that performs support-only inference with a frozen visual encoder. We formulate FSAD as support-only scoring in frozen feature space and establish the selective stability of sparse retrieval and sufficient conditions for normal--anomaly separation. Guided by this analysis, \textbf{Sparse Hyper Matching} uses \textit{sparsemax} to adaptively select support patches for each query patch, exactly suppressing below-threshold distractors without a manually specified retrieval hyperparameter. \textbf{Dual-Branch Image Scoring} further combines local reconstruction discrepancies with support-conditioned global deviation. Across four industrial and two medical benchmarks, Hyper-FSAD achieves the best overall performance across the 1/2/4-shot settings, while requiring only 52.6\,ms per image and 0.89\,GB GPU memory. The code will be released.

GeoTrace: Geometry-Aware Trajectory Token Compression for Video Large Language Models

Although Video Large Language Models (Video LLMs) have shown strong performance in video understanding, their efficiency is still limited by the large number of visual tokens. Existing video token compression methods typically rely on frame-wise saliency or heuristic token merging, which can over-focus on locally salient regions and produce ambiguous fused features. To address these issues, we propose GeoTrace, a training-free spatiotemporal token compression framework that decomposes video evidence into exact skeleton tokens and traceable residual event tokens. Specifically, Contextual Farthest-Point Anchoring (CFPA) preserves salient, context-consistent, and high-coverage skeleton tokens, while Trajectory-Constrained Residual Condensation (TCRC) compresses residual tokens through one-to-one temporal trajectories and constrained near-manifold condensation, producing traceable event tokens with reduced ambiguity. We evaluate GeoTrace on four Video LLMs across four video understanding benchmarks, and the results demonstrate its effectiveness and generalization across different model architectures and scenarios. On LLaVA-OneVision, with only 10\% visual tokens retained, GeoTrace achieves a $12.99\times$ TFLOPs reduction while preserving 99.1\% of the vanilla performance. Overall, GeoTrace offers a compact and traceable token representation for efficient and robust Video LLM inference.

A Comprehensive Survey on Video Scene Parsing:Advances, Challenges, and Prospects

Video Scene Parsing (VSP) studies dense video understanding, where every pixel in each frame must be segmented, each region must be named, and each object identity must remain coherent over time. This survey reviews recent progress in VSP across five tasks, spanning Video Semantic Segmentation (VSS), Video Instance Segmentation (VIS), Video Panoptic Segmentation (VPS), Video Tracking \& Segmentation (VTS), and Open-Vocabulary Video Segmentation (OVVS). We organize the literature as one architectural arc, running from hand-crafted motion and appearance cues through fully convolutional, attention-based and query-based designs to recent foundation-model approaches, and we trace how each family models temporal context, preserves identity, and balances accuracy against efficiency. We then compare the datasets, metrics and benchmark trends that shape current evaluation. Beyond cataloguing methods, we foreground the design trade-offs and recurring failure modes that cut across the field, namely temporal flicker, occlusion-induced identity switches, long-tail categories, and the annotation--capacity--latency tension. We close with open directions towards robust, efficient and open-world VSP systems.

Make It Up: Fake Images, Real Gains in Generalized Few-shot Semantic Segmentation

Generalized few-shot semantic segmentation (GFSS) is fundamentally limited by the coverage of novel-class appearances under scarce annotations. While diffusion models can synthesize novel-class images at scale, practical gains are often hindered by insufficient coverage and noisy supervision when masks are unavailable or unreliable. We propose Syn4Seg, a generation-enhanced GFSS framework designed to expand novel-class coverage while improving pseudo-label quality. Syn4Seg first maximizes prompt-space coverage by constructing an embedding-deduplicated prompt bank for each novel class, yielding diverse yet class-consistent synthetic images. It then performs support-guided pseudo-label estimation via a two-stage refinement that i) filters low-consistency regions to obtain high-precision seeds and ii) relabels uncertain pixels with image-adaptive prototypes that combine global (support) and local (image) statistics. Finally, we refine only boundary-band and unlabeled pixels using a constrained SAM-based update to improve contour fidelity without overwriting high-confidence interiors. Extensive experiments on PASCAL-$5^i$ and COCO-$20^i$ demonstrate consistent improvements in both 1-shot and 5-shot settings, highlighting synthetic data as a scalable path for GFSS with reliable masks and precise boundaries.
