Neural Centroidal Voronoi Tessellations

Centroidal Voronoi tessellation (CVT) is a fundamental primitive for high-quality surface sampling and isotropic remeshing in computer graphics. However, computing surface CVTs with classical solvers remains expensive: each optimization step repeatedly constructs restricted Voronoi diagrams (RVDs) and integrates quantities over their surface cells. We introduce Neural CVT, a learning-based surface-CVT solver that replaces these costly geometric computations with a recurrent neural optimizer, accelerating CVT optimization by one to two orders of magnitude in our benchmarks while preserving geometric fidelity. Given an input surface, we sample a dense point cloud and extract multi-scale geometric descriptors with a graph neural encoder. A lightweight recurrent optimizer then refines seed positions over a small number of iterations, aggregating interpolated surface features and optimization history to predict per-seed displacements. The framework is trained self-supervised using CVT objectives that promote uniform distributions and, when desired, feature alignment. Across diverse organic and CAD-like shapes, Neural CVT generalizes to unseen geometry, initialization strategies, and seed densities, producing isotropic, feature-preserving remeshes comparable to state-of-the-art offline optimization methods at a fraction of the computational cost. Code and trained models will be released.

CVT-GS: Learning to Simplify 3D Gaussian Splatting with Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation

While 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a powerful representation for real-time novel view synthesis, rendering high-fidelity scenes often relies on a massive number of Gaussian primitives, incurring substantial storage and computational overhead. Existing simplification techniques are largely intrusive, requiring training-time pruning, architectural modifications, or computationally expensive per-scene fine-tuning. These drawbacks limit their deployment on off-the-shelf pretrained models. In this paper, we propose CVT-GS, a novel optimization-free post-hoc simplification framework that directly compresses trained 3DGS scenes without sacrificing visual fidelity. Our approach first constructs spatially coherent cells over Gaussian centers via a geometry-aware Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT). Subsequently, a lightweight neural cell merger predicts the geometry and appearance of a single, highly representative Gaussian primitive for each cell under differentiable rendering supervision. By formulating simplification as a rendering-aware many-to-one merging process rather than naive primitive pruning, CVT-GS outputs a standard 3DGS scene that is seamlessly compatible with existing renderers. Experiments on various datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method. Notably, when achieving a 100-fold reduction in Gaussian points, our method operates 12 times faster than state-of-the-art methods while improving the PSNR by 1.3 dB.

ViSculpt: Visual-Centric Agentic Geometry Editing

3D geometry editing is a critical yet labor-intensive part of the graphics pipeline, requiring artists to translate creative intent into precise operations in complex professional software. Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for script-based 3D creation, but script generation is less suited to perception-driven editing of arbitrary existing meshes, where execution must remain visually grounded and untouched regions should be preserved. We present a \emph{visual-centric}, training-free multi-agent system that edits existing 3D meshes directly in Blender by emulating the iterative workflow of human artists. Rather than generating scripts or regenerating geometry, our system operates through the Blender GUI: multimodal LLM agents observe the viewport, reason about the current mesh state, and execute localized edits through simulated user interactions. Experiments on a curated benchmark provide initial evidence that this agentic approach can follow natural language instructions, perform representative localized mesh edits, and preserve the overall identity of the input asset. Our results highlight a complementary regime for language-driven 3D editing: direct in-place modification of existing meshes within the native 3D editing workflow. We view this work as an exploratory step toward visual-centric agentic geometry editing in professional graphics software.

Occlusion-Point Reuse for Ray-Traced Ambient Occlusion and Shadow

Ambient occlusion (AO) and soft shadows are critical visibility cues for spatial perception in real-time rendering. Hardware ray tracing provides a direct way to evaluate these effects, enabling ray-traced AO and area-light shadows that avoid many limitations of screen-space AO and shadow mapping. However, real-time budgets allow only a few rays per pixel, leaving raw ray-traced estimates noisy and expensive. We present an occlusion-point reuse framework that reuses traced samples in the domain of first-hit occlusion points instead of directly reusing final shading values or light samples. This provides a ray-reuse formulation for AO, rather than merely filtering or reusing completed AO values. The key idea is to transform AO and area-light shadow estimators into occluder-domain integrals, then combine neighboring occluder samples with a multiple-importance-sampling (MIS) formulation. For both AO and shadows, we derive unbiased estimators that validate convergence to the transformed integrals, as well as biased estimators designed for practical real-time execution. The biased variants assume local first-hit occluder consistency; for shadows, this occluder-based assumption better matches local visibility geometry than the visibility-consistency assumption commonly used when reusing light samples. Experiments show higher AO and shadow quality than non-reuse ray-traced baselines, and better shadow quality than light-sample reuse at comparable cost.

MaterialClusterGS: Palette-Based Material Decomposition and Physically-Based Relighting with 2D Gaussian Splatting

We present MaterialClusterGS, a palette-based material decomposition framework for 2D Gaussian Splatting that enables physically based relighting and material editing. Existing Gaussian inverse rendering methods typically assign independent BRDF parameters to individual primitives. While flexible, this local fitting strategy makes material recovery highly under-constrained: shadows, indirect illumination, geometric errors, and visibility residuals can be absorbed into thousands of slightly different local material estimates. Meanwhile, recent palette-based appearance methods operate solely in RGB space without modeling physical materials or illumination. To bridge this gap, we represent scene materials using a compact global palette of shared BRDF prototypes assigned via a continuous spatial material field. Without shared material structure, editing one region does not propagate consistently to others of the same material, making per-primitive decompositions impractical for editing. We jointly optimize the material field, palette prototypes, and environment lighting under a physically based rendering objective. The resulting framework recovers compact, spatially coherent attributes directly usable for material editing, relighting, and transfer.

DecomPose: Disentangling Cross-Category Optimization Contention for Category-Level 6D Object Pose Estimation

Category-level 6D object pose estimation is typically formulated as a multi-category joint learning problem with fully shared model parameters. However, pronounced geometric heterogeneity across categories entangles incompatible optimization signals in shared modules, resulting in gradient conflicts and negative transfer during training. To address this challenge, we first introduce gradient-based diagnostics to quantify module-level cross-category contention. Building on results of diagnostics, we propose DecomPose, a difficulty-aware decomposition framework that mitigates optimization contention via: (1) difficulty-aware gradient decoupling, which groups categories using a data-driven difficulty proxy and routes each instance to a group-specific correspondence branch to isolate incompatible updates; and (2) stability-driven asymmetric branching, which assigns higher-capacity branches to structurally simple categories as stable optimization anchors while constraining complex categories with lightweight branches to suppress noisy updates and alleviate negative transfer. Extensive experiments on REAL275, CAMERA25, and HouseCat6D demonstrate that DecomPose effectively reduces cross-category optimization contention and delivers superior pose estimation performance across multiple benchmarks.

BlitzGS: City-Scale Gaussian Splatting at Lightning Speed

Large-scale 3D Gaussian Splatting underpins digital twins, simulation, and aerial mapping, yet city-scale training remains computationally expensive even with multi-GPU execution because every iteration must preprocess, communicate, and rasterize an overly dense set of primitives. At any given step, only a small fraction of these primitives contribute meaningfully to the loss; the rest incur redundant storage, communication, and rasterization costs. Existing approaches improve individual cost factors but do not fully address the underlying question: which Gaussians should be stored on each GPU, rendered for each view, and retained after early geometry formation? We present BlitzGS, a distributed 3DGS framework that reduces the active Gaussian workload at three coupled levels. At the system level, it shards Gaussians across GPUs by index parity rather than spatial blocks, mitigating the cross-block visibility redundancy of spatial partitioning, and distributes each render step through a single cross-GPU exchange that routes projected Gaussians to their tile owners. At the model level, it controls the population from both ends of densification. Scheduled importance-scoring passes prune redundant survivors, and a lightweight spawn gate withholds candidates predicted not to survive. The same importance signal also feeds back into density control. At the view level, a distance-based LOD gate and an importance-based mask trim each camera's active set. On large-scale benchmarks, BlitzGS matches the rendering quality of recent large-scale baselines while delivering nearly an order-of-magnitude speedup, training city-scale scenes in tens of minutes. Our code is available at https://github.com/AkierRaee/BlitzGS.

Building an OceanBase-based Distributed Nearly Real-time Analytical Processing Database System

The growing demand for database systems capable of efficiently managing massive datasets while delivering real-time transaction processing and advanced analytical capabilities has become critical in modern data infrastructure. While traditional OLAP systems often fail to meet these dual requirements, emerging real-time analytical processing systems still face persistent challenges, such as excessive data redundancy, complex cross-system synchronization, and suboptimal temporal efficiency. This paper introduces OceanBase Mercury as an innovative OLAP system designed for petabyte-scale data. The system features a distributed, multi-tenant architecture that ensures essential enterprise-grade requirements, including continuous availability and elastic scalability. Our technical contributions include three key components: (1) an adaptive columnar storage format with hybrid data layout optimization, (2) a differential refresh mechanism for materialized views with temporal consistency guarantees, and (3) a polymorphic vectorization engine supporting three distinct data formats. Empirical evaluations under real-world workloads demonstrate that OceanBase Mercury outperforms specialized OLAP engines by 1.3X to 3.1X speedup in query latency while maintaining sub-second latency, positioning it as a groundbreaking AP solution that effectively balances analytical depth with operational agility in big data environments.

GVGS: Gaussian Visibility-Aware Multi-View Geometry for Accurate Surface Reconstruction

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables efficient rendering, yet accurate surface reconstruction remains challenging due to unreliable geometric supervision. Existing approaches predominantly rely on depth-based reprojection to infer visibility and enforce multi-view consistency, leading to a fundamental circular dependency: visibility estimation requires accurate depth, while depth supervision itself is conditioned on visibility. In this work, we revisit multi-view geometric supervision from the perspective of visibility modeling. Instead of inferring visibility from pixel-wise depth consistency, we explicitly model visibility at the level of Gaussian primitives. We introduce a Gaussian visibility-aware multi-view geometric consistency (GVMV) formulation, which aggregates cross-view visibility of shared Gaussians to construct reliable supervision over co-visible regions. To further incorporate monocular priors, we propose a progressive quadtree-calibrated depth alignment (QDC) strategy that performs block-wise affine calibration under visibility-aware guidance, effectively mitigating scale ambiguity while preserving local geometric structures. Extensive experiments on DTU and Tanks and Temples demonstrate that our method consistently improves reconstruction accuracy over prior Gaussian-based approaches. Our code is fully open-sourced and available at an anonymous repository: https://github.com/GVGScode/GVGS.

VibraVerse: A Large-Scale Geometry-Acoustics Alignment Dataset for Physically-Consistent Multimodal Learning

Understanding the physical world requires perceptual models grounded in physical laws rather than mere statistical correlations. However, existing multimodal learning frameworks, focused on vision and language, lack physical consistency and overlook the intrinsic causal relationships among an object's geometry, material, vibration modes, and the sounds it produces. We introduce VibraVerse, a large-scale geometry-acoustics alignment dataset that explicitly bridges the causal chain from 3D geometry -> physical attributes -> modal parameters -> acoustic signals. Each 3D model has explicit physical properties (density, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio) and volumetric geometry, from which modal eigenfrequencies and eigenvectors are computed for impact sound synthesis under controlled excitations. To establish this coherence, we introduce CLASP, a contrastive learning framework for cross-modal alignment that preserves the causal correspondence between an object's physical structure and its acoustic response. This framework enforces physically consistent alignment across modalities, ensuring that every sample is coherent, traceable to the governing equations, and embedded within a unified representation space spanning shape, image, and sound. Built upon VibraVerse, we define a suite of benchmark tasks for geometry-to-sound prediction, sound-guided shape reconstruction, and cross-modal representation learning. Extensive validations on these tasks demonstrate that models trained on VibraVerse exhibit superior accuracy, interpretability, and generalization across modalities. These results establish VibraVerse as a benchmark for physically consistent and causally interpretable multimodal learning, providing a foundation for sound-guided embodied perception and a deeper understanding of the physical world. The dataset will be open-sourced.

ChronoGS: Disentangling Invariants and Changes in Multi-Period Scenes

Multi-period image collections are common in real-world applications. Cities are re-scanned for mapping, construction sites are revisited for progress tracking, and natural regions are monitored for environmental change. Such data form multi-period scenes, where geometry and appearance evolve. Reconstructing such scenes is an important yet underexplored problem. Existing pipelines rely on incompatible assumptions: static and in-the-wild methods enforce a single geometry, while dynamic ones assume smooth motion, both failing under long-term, discontinuous changes. To solve this problem, we introduce ChronoGS, a temporally modulated Gaussian representation that reconstructs all periods within a unified anchor scaffold. It's also designed to disentangle stable and evolving components, achieving temporally consistent reconstruction of multi-period scenes. To catalyze relevant research, we release ChronoScene dataset, a benchmark of real and synthetic multi-period scenes, capturing geometric and appearance variation. Experiments demonstrate that ChronoGS consistently outperforms baselines in reconstruction quality and temporal consistency. Our code and the ChronoScene dataset are publicly available at https://github.com/ZhongtaoWang/ChronoGS.

NRRS: Neural Russian Roulette and Splitting

We propose a novel framework for Russian Roulette and Splitting (RRS) tailored to wavefront path tracing, a highly parallel rendering architecture that processes path states in batched, stage-wise execution for efficient GPU utilization. Traditional RRS methods, with unpredictable path counts, are fundamentally incompatible with wavefront's preallocated memory and scheduling requirements. To resolve this, we introduce a normalized RRS formulation with a bounded path count, enabling stable and memory-efficient execution. Furthermore, we pioneer the use of neural networks to learn RRS factors, presenting two models: NRRS and AID-NRRS. At a high level, both feature a carefully designed RRSNet that explicitly incorporates RRS normalization, with only subtle differences in their implementation. To balance computational cost and inference accuracy, we introduce Mix-Depth, a path-depth-aware mechanism that adaptively regulates neural evaluation, further improving efficiency. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms traditional heuristics and recent RRS techniques in both rendering quality and performance across a variety of complex scenes.

Neural Cone Radiosity for Interactive Global Illumination with Glossy Materials

Modeling of high-frequency outgoing radiance distributions has long been a key challenge in rendering, particularly for glossy material. Such distributions concentrate radiative energy within a narrow lobe and are highly sensitive to changes in view direction. However, existing neural radiosity methods, which primarily rely on positional feature encoding, exhibit notable limitations in capturing these high-frequency, strongly view-dependent radiance distributions. To address this, we propose a highly-efficient approach by reflectance-aware ray cone encoding based on the neural radiosity framework, named neural cone radiosity. The core idea is to employ a pre-filtered multi-resolution hash grid to accurately approximate the glossy BSDF lobe, embedding view-dependent reflectance characteristics directly into the encoding process through continuous spatial aggregation. Our design not only significantly improves the network's ability to model high-frequency reflection distributions but also effectively handles surfaces with a wide range of glossiness levels, from highly glossy to low-gloss finishes. Meanwhile, our method reduces the network's burden in fitting complex radiance distributions, allowing the overall architecture to remain compact and efficient. Comprehensive experimental results demonstrate that our method consistently produces high-quality, noise-free renderings in real time under various glossiness conditions, and delivers superior fidelity and realism compared to baseline approaches.

SonicRadiation: A Hybrid Numerical Solution for Sound Radiation without Ghost Cells

Interactive synthesis of physical sound effects is crucial in digital media production. Sound radiation simulation, a key component of physically based sound synthesis, has posed challenges in the context of complex object boundaries. Previous methods, such as ghost cell-based finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) wave solver, have struggled to address these challenges, leading to large errors and failures in complex boundaries because of the limitation of ghost cells. We present SonicRadiation, a hybrid numerical solution capable of handling complex and dynamic object boundaries in sound radiation simulation without relying on ghost cells. We derive a consistent formulation to connect the physical quantities on grid cells in FDTD with the boundary elements in the time-domain boundary element method (TDBEM). Hereby, we propose a boundary grid synchronization strategy to seamlessly integrate TDBEM with FDTD while maintaining high numerical accuracy. Our method holds both advantages from the accuracy of TDBEM for the near-field and the efficiency of FDTD for the far-field. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our method in sound radiation simulation over previous approaches in terms of accuracy and efficiency, particularly in complex scenes, further validating its effectiveness.

Geometry-Aware Global Feature Aggregation for Real-Time Indirect Illumination

Real-time rendering with global illumination is crucial to afford the user realistic experience in virtual environments. We present a learning-based estimator to predict diffuse indirect illumination in screen space, which then is combined with direct illumination to synthesize globally-illuminated high dynamic range (HDR) results. Our approach tackles the challenges of capturing long-range/long-distance indirect illumination when employing neural networks and is generalized to handle complex lighting and scenarios. From the neural network thinking of the solver to the rendering equation, we present a novel network architecture to predict indirect illumination. Our network is equipped with a modified attention mechanism that aggregates global information guided by spacial geometry features, as well as a monochromatic design that encodes each color channel individually. We conducted extensive evaluations, and the experimental results demonstrate our superiority over previous learning-based techniques. Our approach excels at handling complex lighting such as varying-colored lighting and environment lighting. It can successfully capture distant indirect illumination and simulates the interreflections between textured surfaces well (i.e., color bleeding effects); it can also effectively handle new scenes that are not present in the training dataset.

Vertex Features for Neural Global Illumination

Recent research on learnable neural representations has been widely adopted in the field of 3D scene reconstruction and neural rendering applications. However, traditional feature grid representations often suffer from substantial memory footprint, posing a significant bottleneck for modern parallel computing hardware. In this paper, we present neural vertex features, a generalized formulation of learnable representation for neural rendering tasks involving explicit mesh surfaces. Instead of uniformly distributing neural features throughout 3D space, our method stores learnable features directly at mesh vertices, leveraging the underlying geometry as a compact and structured representation for neural processing. This not only optimizes memory efficiency, but also improves feature representation by aligning compactly with the surface using task-specific geometric priors. We validate our neural representation across diverse neural rendering tasks, with a specific emphasis on neural radiosity. Experimental results demonstrate that our method reduces memory consumption to only one-fifth (or even less) of grid-based representations, while maintaining comparable rendering quality and lowering inference overhead.

CmFNet: Cross-modal Fusion Network for Weakly-supervised Segmentation of Medical Images

Accurate automatic medical image segmentation relies on high-quality, dense annotations, which are costly and time-consuming. Weakly supervised learning provides a more efficient alternative by leveraging sparse and coarse annotations instead of dense, precise ones. However, segmentation performance degradation and overfitting caused by sparse annotations remain key challenges. To address these issues, we propose CmFNet, a novel 3D weakly supervised cross-modal medical image segmentation approach. CmFNet consists of three main components: a modality-specific feature learning network, a cross-modal feature learning network, and a hybrid-supervised learning strategy. Specifically, the modality-specific feature learning network and the cross-modal feature learning network effectively integrate complementary information from multi-modal images, enhancing shared features across modalities to improve segmentation performance. Additionally, the hybrid-supervised learning strategy guides segmentation through scribble supervision, intra-modal regularization, and inter-modal consistency, modeling spatial and contextual relationships while promoting feature alignment. Our approach effectively mitigates overfitting, delivering robust segmentation results. It excels in segmenting both challenging small tumor regions and common anatomical structures. Extensive experiments on a clinical cross-modal nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) dataset (including CT and MR imaging) and the publicly available CT Whole Abdominal Organ dataset (WORD) show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art weakly supervised methods. In addition, our approach also outperforms fully supervised methods when full annotation is used. Our approach can facilitate clinical therapy and benefit various specialists, including physicists, radiologists, pathologists, and oncologists.

Semi-Supervised Multi-Modal Medical Image Segmentation for Complex Situations

Semi-supervised learning addresses the issue of limited annotations in medical images effectively, but its performance is often inadequate for complex backgrounds and challenging tasks. Multi-modal fusion methods can significantly improve the accuracy of medical image segmentation by providing complementary information. However, they face challenges in achieving significant improvements under semi-supervised conditions due to the challenge of effectively leveraging unlabeled data. There is a significant need to create an effective and reliable multi-modal learning strategy for leveraging unlabeled data in semi-supervised segmentation. To address these issues, we propose a novel semi-supervised multi-modal medical image segmentation approach, which leverages complementary multi-modal information to enhance performance with limited labeled data. Our approach employs a multi-stage multi-modal fusion and enhancement strategy to fully utilize complementary multi-modal information, while reducing feature discrepancies and enhancing feature sharing and alignment. Furthermore, we effectively introduce contrastive mutual learning to constrain prediction consistency across modalities, thereby facilitating the robustness of segmentation results in semi-supervised tasks. Experimental results on two multi-modal datasets demonstrate the superior performance and robustness of the proposed framework, establishing its valuable potential for solving medical image segmentation tasks in complex scenarios.
