Visual Representation Matters: Exploiting Temporal Differences in Video-to-Audio Generation

Video-to-audio (V2A) generation extends image-to-audio generation (I2A) by introducing consecutive frames that provide essential temporal cues for audio synthesis. However, existing conditional diffusion-based V2A methods typically enhance visual conditioning with additional audio-visual supervision, acoustic structure prediction, or reasoning from large multimodal models, requiring extra networks or strong inductive biases. Inspired by recent advances in visual representation learning, we introduce TD-V2A, which leverages temporal differences (TD) as the key representation that distinguishes V2A from I2A, enriching visual conditioning with minimal architectural modification. We first investigate TD at both the frame and feature levels to identify the most effective representation level at which TD complements visual representations. Based on these findings, we develop a hierarchically continual learning strategy and an annealed temporal differences guidance method to progressively learn and exploit TD information during diffusion training and sampling process, respectively. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that effectively exploiting TD through our proposed framework significantly improves end-to-end V2A generation quality, even outperforming dedicated V2A representations such as contrastive audio-visual pretraining.

AudioMoG: Guiding Audio Generation with Mixture-of-Guidance

The design of diffusion-based audio generation systems has been investigated from diverse perspectives, such as data space, network architecture, and conditioning techniques, while most of these innovations require model re-training. In sampling, classifier-free guidance (CFG) has been uniformly adopted to enhance generation quality by strengthening condition alignment. However, CFG often compromises diversity, resulting in suboptimal performance. Although the recent autoguidance (AG) method proposes another direction of guidance that maintains diversity, its direct application in audio generation has so far underperformed CFG. In this work, we introduce AudioMoG, an improved sampling method that enhances text-to-audio (T2A) and video-to-audio (V2A) generation quality without requiring extensive training resources. We start with an analysis of both CFG and AG, examining their respective advantages and limitations for guiding diffusion models. Building upon our insights, we introduce a mixture-of-guidance framework that integrates diverse guidance signals with their interaction terms (e.g., the unconditional bad version of the model) to maximize cumulative advantages. Experiments show that, given the same inference speed, our approach consistently outperforms single guidance in T2A generation across sampling steps, concurrently showing advantages in V2A, text-to-music, and image generation.

Towards Accurate Acne Detection via Decoupled Sequential Detection Head

Accurate acne detection plays a crucial role in acquiring precise diagnosis and conducting proper therapy. However, the ambiguous boundaries and arbitrary dimensions of acne lesions severely limit the performance of existing methods. In this paper, we address these challenges via a novel Decoupled Sequential Detection Head (DSDH), which can be easily adopted by mainstream two-stage detectors. DSDH brings two simple but effective improvements to acne detection. Firstly, the offset and scaling tasks are explicitly introduced, and their incompatibility is settled by our task-decouple mechanism, which improves the capability of predicting the location and size of acne lesions. Second, we propose the task-sequence mechanism, and execute offset and scaling sequentially to gain a more comprehensive insight into the dimensions of acne lesions. In addition, we build a high-quality acne detection dataset named ACNE-DET to verify the effectiveness of DSDH. Experiments on ACNE-DET and the public benchmark ACNE04 show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by significant margins. Our code and dataset are publicly available at (temporarily anonymous).

Learning High-quality Proposals for Acne Detection

Acne detection is crucial for interpretative diagnosis and precise treatment of skin disease. The arbitrary boundary and small size of acne lesions lead to a significant number of poor-quality proposals in two-stage detection. In this paper, we propose a novel head structure for Region Proposal Network to improve the proposals' quality in two ways. At first, a Spatial Aware Double Head(SADH) structure is proposed to disentangle the representation learning for classification and localization from two different spatial perspectives. The proposed SADH ensures a steeper classification confidence gradient and suppresses the proposals having low intersection-over-union(IoU) with the matched ground truth. Then, we propose a Normalized Wasserstein Distance prediction branch to improve the correlation between the proposals' classification scores and IoUs. In addition, to facilitate further research on acne detection, we construct a new dataset named AcneSCU, with high-resolution imageries, precise annotations, and fine-grained lesion categories. Extensive experiments are conducted on both AcneSCU and the public dataset ACNE04, and the results demonstrate the proposed method could improve the proposals' quality, consistently outperforming state-of-the-art approaches. Code and the collected dataset are available in https://github.com/pingguokiller/acnedetection.
