Bi-FlowGS: Bridging Generative View Completion and Gaussian Geometry through Bidirectional Flow Co-Refinement

Sparse-view 3D scene reconstruction with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is inherently underconstrained. Plausible renderings can also coexist with erroneous Gaussian geometry, as errors in positions or depths may be concealed by opacity, scale, and appearance; we term this failure mode Geometry Cheating. Existing regularization methods constrain geometry but remain limited to observed views, while video-diffusion-based methods complete unseen views yet mainly use them as RGB pseudo-supervision, underusing motion and temporal priors and lacking explicit geometry supervision. We present Bi-FlowGS, which uses optical flow to bridge generative view completion and Gaussian geometry regularization. Our plug-and-play Video-to-Geometry Flow Distillation (V2G) distills temporal correspondence priors from restored videos into Gaussian geometry to alleviate Geometry Cheating. Conversely, Geometry-to-Video Flow-Guided Restoration (G2V) uses the current 3DGS geometry to guide temporally consistent video restoration, providing more reliable generative supervision. Together, V2G and G2V form an implicit bidirectional co-refinement process, enabling restored videos and the optimized 3DGS scene to iteratively improve each other. Experiments demonstrate improved rendering quality and geometric consistency across wide-baseline and unbounded 360° benchmarks.

TransPhy: Visual In-Context Learning for Physically Grounded Image Editing

Visual demonstrations provide a natural interface for specifying image transformations that are difficult to describe exhaustively with text. However, existing visual in-context learning (VICL) methods primarily focus on appearance-level relation transfer and provide limited support for physically grounded transformations, whose outcomes depend on material properties, geometry, object interactions, and environmental conditions. Given a source--target exemplar pair and a query image, physically grounded VICL requires a model to infer the demonstrated transformation, adapt its effects to the query-specific scene context, and preserve rule-irrelevant content. We introduce PhysVICL-74, comprising 74 physically grounded transformation rules and 5,240 source--target image pairs that form nearly 75K training and evaluation contexts. Its benchmark split separately evaluates novel-instance transfer and unseen-rule generalization. We further propose TransPhy, a framework that decomposes physically grounded VICL into physical-rule induction and transition-aligned rendering. TransPhy first predicts the demonstrated rule and an explicit query-specific target-state description, and then synthesizes the target image through token-wise mixture-of-experts adaptation, with expert routing guided by localized transition cues. Experiments show that TransPhy improves physical-rule adherence, query consistency, and unseen-rule generalization over existing visual in-context editing methods.

SPARGen: Unifying Spatial Perception and Reasoning through Native Multimodal Generation

Spatial perception and reasoning from visual observations require recovering geometric structure, establishing correspondences, and understanding spatial relations. Existing approaches typically address these capabilities separately using task-specific architectures or external geometric modules, limiting knowledge transfer among complementary representations of the same physical scene. We introduce SPARGen, a unified multimodal framework that casts 3D reconstruction, dense correspondence, and spatial reasoning as instruction-conditioned generation tasks. SPARGen serializes compact structured and linguistic outputs as token sequences while generating dense geometric fields in image-aligned forms, enabling spatial supervision to jointly shape shared representations within a native multimodal generative model. Experiments across benchmarks for 3D reconstruction, correspondence, and spatial reasoning show that SPARGen achieves competitive performance across heterogeneous spatial tasks within a single native multimodal generative framework.

Vision as Unified Multimodal Generation

We formulate computer vision as unified multimodal generation, where heterogeneous visual tasks are expressed in the native text and image generation spaces of a unified multimodal model, without task-specific architectures. Under this formulation, SenseNova-Vision uses natural-language instructions and optional visual prompts to specify tasks, target regions or views, and decoding conventions, and generates responses as text for symbolic outputs, images for dense spatial predictions, or mixed text-and-image outputs for compositional tasks. To support large-scale training, we convert diverse computer vision annotations into instruction-response examples compatible with these generation spaces, resulting in the SenseNova-Vision Corpus, a computer-vision instruction-response corpus spanning text, image, and mixed targets. Starting from an off-the-shelf pretrained unified multimodal model, SenseNova-Vision is trained primarily on this corpus, with auxiliary multimodal data used as a capability-preserving mixture, and requires no task-specific prediction heads or architectural modifications. The resulting model covers a broad range of vision tasks, including detection, OCR, keypoint estimation, segmentation, depth estimation, surface normal prediction, point maps, and camera pose estimation, while supporting language-defined variants that combine category, color, region, and other visual cues. Experiments show that a single unified model can match leading task-specialized systems across structured visual understanding, dense geometric prediction, segmentation, and multi-view visual geometry. These results suggest unified multimodal generation as a scalable route for integrating computer vision capabilities into general-purpose foundation models. The model and corpus are publicly available.

Same Evidence, Different Answers: Canonical-Context On-Policy Distillation for Multi-Turn Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) often solve a task when all instructions are given in a single prompt, but fail when the same information is revealed gradually across turns. When a clean FULL prompt and a RAW-SHARDED conversation contain the same complete user evidence, the model should still arrive at the same answer. We argue that a key reason for this gap is self-anchored drift: responses produced under partial information introduce unsupported assumptions, and those assumptions later distort the final answer. To reduce this effect, we propose Canonical-Context On-Policy Distillation (CCOPD). During training, the same base model is used in two roles: a frozen teacher conditioned on the clean FULL prompt and a trainable student that receives the same evidence incrementally through a multi-turn conversation; CCOPD aligns the student's behavior on its own trajectories with the teacher's canonical full-context behavior. Trained only on math problem conversations, CCOPD yields a 32\% average relative improvement in RAW-SHARDED performance over the original base model across math and five zero-shot out-of-domain task families, while largely preserving full-context performance. Further analyses suggest that CCOPD strengthens grounding in user evidence and reduces sensitivity to contamination from earlier assistant turns.

ParticleGS: Learning Neural Gaussian Particle Dynamics from Videos for Prior-free Physical Motion Extrapolation

The ability to extrapolate dynamic 3D scenes beyond the observed timeframe is fundamental to advancing physical world understanding and predictive modeling. Existing dynamic 3D reconstruction methods have achieved high-fidelity rendering of temporal interpolation, but typically lack physical consistency in predicting the future. To overcome this issue, we propose ParticleGS, a physics-based framework that reformulates dynamic 3D scenes as physically grounded systems. ParticleGS comprises three key components: 1) an encoder that decomposes the scene into static properties and initial dynamic physical fields; 2) an evolver based on Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (Neural ODEs) that learns continuous-time dynamics for motion extrapolation; and 3) a decoder that reconstructs 3D Gaussians from evolved particle states for rendering. Through this design, ParticleGS integrates physical reasoning into dynamic 3D representations, enabling accurate and consistent prediction of the future. Experiments show that ParticleGS achieves state-of-the-art performance in extrapolation while maintaining rendering quality comparable to leading dynamic 3D reconstruction methods.

Advances in 4D Generation: A Survey

Generative artificial intelligence has recently progressed from static image and video synthesis to 3D content generation, culminating in the emergence of 4D generation-the task of synthesizing temporally coherent dynamic 3D assets guided by user input. As a burgeoning research frontier, 4D generation enables richer interactive and immersive experiences, with applications ranging from digital humans to autonomous driving. Despite rapid progress, the field lacks a unified understanding of 4D representations, generative frameworks, basic paradigms, and the core technical challenges it faces. This survey provides a systematic and in-depth review of the 4D generation landscape. To comprehensively characterize 4D generation, we first categorize fundamental 4D representations and outline associated techniques for 4D generation. We then present an in-depth analysis of representative generative pipelines based on conditions and representation methods. Subsequently, we discuss how motion and geometry priors are integrated into 4D outputs to ensure spatio-temporal consistency under various control schemes. From an application perspective, this paper summarizes 4D generation tasks in areas such as dynamic object/scene generation, digital human synthesis, editable 4D content, and embodied AI. Furthermore, we summarize and multi-dimensionally compare four basic paradigms for 4D generation: End-to-End, Generated-Data-Based, Implicit-Distillation-Based, and Explicit-Supervision-Based. Concluding our analysis, we highlight five key challenges-consistency, controllability, diversity, efficiency, and fidelity-and contextualize these with current approaches.By distilling recent advances and outlining open problems, this work offers a comprehensive and forward-looking perspective to guide future research in 4D generation.
