Struct-GStream: Towards Efficient Free-Viewpoint Video Streaming at Low-Bitrates with Structured 3D Gaussians

Constructing photorealistic Free-Viewpoint Videos (FVVs) of dynamic scenes from a set of posed 2D images has been an intriguing yet challenging task in computer vision. Methods based on neural rendering achieve high-fidelity image quality in FVV construction. However, most of these methods are unable to achieve real-time rendering and often require complete video sequences to train. Despite the existence of some online training methods capable of rendering FVVs in real time, they struggle to meet the requirements for storage and training time for downstream applications. To overcome this problem, we propose Struct-GStream, which can achieve efficient FVV streaming using structured 3D Gaussians (3DGs). Specifically, we introduce dynamic anchor points to generate structured 3DGs to construct basic scenes and model approximate scene movements based on the assumption of local rigidity in object motion. Besides, we introduce a global free 3DGs patching strategy involving free 3DGs' generation, pruning, and optimization to patch and model deficient areas and emerging objects. Our method achieves fast training at low bitrates while maintaining high rendering quality. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Struct-GStream significantly outperforms existing online training methods for FVV construction in terms of training time, storage, and rendering quality while maintaining competitive rendering speed.

UniToolCall: Unifying Tool-Use Representation, Data, and Evaluation for LLM Agents

Tool-use capability is a fundamental component of LLM agents, enabling them to interact with external systems through structured function calls. However, existing research exhibits inconsistent interaction representations, largely overlooks the structural distribution of tool-use trajectories, and relies on incompatible evaluation benchmarks. We present UniToolCall, a unified framework for tool learning that standardizes the entire pipeline from toolset construction and dataset generation to evaluation. The framework curates a large tool pool of 22k+ tools and constructs a hybrid training corpus of 390k+ instances by combining 10 standardized public datasets with structurally controlled synthetic trajectories. It explicitly models diverse interaction patterns, including single-hop vs. multi-hop and single-turn vs. multi-turn, while capturing both serial and parallel execution structures. To support coherent multi-turn reasoning, we further introduce an Anchor Linkage mechanism that enforces cross-turn dependencies. Furthermore, we convert 7 public benchmarks into a unified Query--Action--Observation--Answer (QAOA) representation with fine-grained evaluation at the function-call, turn, and conversation levels. Experiments show that fine-tuning Qwen3-8B on our dataset substantially improves tool-use performance. Under the distractor-heavy Hybrid-20 setting, achieves 93.0% single-turn Strict Precision, outperforming commercial models including GPT, Gemini, and Claude.

$nd\mathbb{Z}$-cluster tilting subcategories of $d$-Nakayama algebras

Jasso-K\"{u}lshammer introduced the class of $d$-Nakayama algebras as a higher dimensional analogue of Nakayama algebras. In particular, they are endowed with a distinguished $d\mathbb{Z}$-cluster tilting subcategory. In this paper, we investigate which $d$-Nakayama algebras admit an $nd\mathbb{Z}$-cluster tilting subcategory for $n>1$. The radical square zero case is already covered by results on classical Nakayama algebras due to Herschend-Kvamme-Vaso. For each remaining non-self-injective $d$-Nakayama algebra, we provide a complete classification of its $nd\mathbb{Z}$-cluster tilting subcategories. In fact, there exists at most one for a suitable integer $n$. A self-injective $d$-Nakayama algebra is determined by two positive integers $m$ and $l$. We show that an $nd\mathbb{Z}$-cluster tilting subcategory is only possible if $n|m$ and $n|(l-2)$. In case $n=l-2$, we show that such subcategory does indeed exist by constructing an explicit example.

Fast and Robust Deformable 3D Gaussian Splatting

3D Gaussian Splatting has demonstrated remarkable real-time rendering capabilities and superior visual quality in novel view synthesis for static scenes. Building upon these advantages, researchers have progressively extended 3D Gaussians to dynamic scene reconstruction. Deformation field-based methods have emerged as a promising approach among various techniques. These methods maintain 3D Gaussian attributes in a canonical field and employ the deformation field to transform this field across temporal sequences. Nevertheless, these approaches frequently encounter challenges such as suboptimal rendering speeds, significant dependence on initial point clouds, and vulnerability to local optima in dim scenes. To overcome these limitations, we present FRoG, an efficient and robust framework for high-quality dynamic scene reconstruction. FRoG integrates per-Gaussian embedding with a coarse-to-fine temporal embedding strategy, accelerating rendering through the early fusion of temporal embeddings. Moreover, to enhance robustness against sparse initializations, we introduce a novel depth- and error-guided sampling strategy. This strategy populates the canonical field with new 3D Gaussians at low-deviation initial positions, significantly reducing the optimization burden on the deformation field and improving detail reconstruction in both static and dynamic regions. Furthermore, by modulating opacity variations, we mitigate the local optima problem in dim scenes, improving color fidelity. Comprehensive experimental results validate that our method achieves accelerated rendering speeds while maintaining state-of-the-art visual quality.

OpenACMv2: An Accuracy-Constrained Co-Optimization Framework for Approximate DCiM

Digital Compute-in-Memory (DCiM) accelerates neural networks by reducing data movement. Approximate DCiM can further improve power-performance-area (PPA), but demands accuracy-constrained co-optimization across coupled architecture and transistor-level choices. Building on OpenYield, we introduce Accuracy-Constrained Co-Optimization (ACCO) and present OpenACMv2, an open framework that operationalizes ACCO via two-level optimization: (1) accuracy-constrained architecture search of compressor combinations and SRAM macro parameters, driven by a fast GNN-based surrogate for PPA and error; and (2) variation- and PVT-aware transistor sizing for standard cells and SRAM bitcells using Monte Carlo. By decoupling ACCO into architecture-level exploration and circuit-level sizing, OpenACMv2 integrates classic single- and multi-objective optimizers to deliver strong PPA-accuracy tradeoffs and robust convergence. The workflow is compatible with FreePDK45 and OpenROAD, supporting reproducible evaluation and easy adoption. Experiments show that the proposed two-level ACCO framework achieves most of its accuracy-constrained efficiency gain at Level-1 through architecture exploration, delivering roughly 50%+ PDP reduction, while Level-2 transistor-level optimization provides a further single-digit PDP improvement while preserving accuracy, enabling rapid "what-if" exploration for approximate DCiM. The framework is available on GitHub (https://github.com/ShenShan123/OpenACM).

OpenACM: An Open-Source SRAM-Based Approximate CiM Compiler

The rise of data-intensive AI workloads has exacerbated the ``memory wall'' bottleneck. Digital Compute-in-Memory (DCiM) using SRAM offers a scalable solution, but its vast design space makes manual design impractical, creating a need for automated compilers. A key opportunity lies in approximate computing, which leverages the error tolerance of AI applications for significant energy savings. However, existing DCiM compilers focus on exact arithmetic, failing to exploit this optimization. This paper introduces OpenACM, the first open-source, accuracy-aware compiler for SRAM-based approximate DCiM architectures. OpenACM bridges the gap between application error tolerance and hardware automation. Its key contribution is an integrated library of accuracy-configurable multipliers (exact, tunable approximate, and logarithmic), enabling designers to make fine-grained accuracy-energy trade-offs. The compiler automates the generation of the DCiM architecture, integrating a transistor-level customizable SRAM macro with variation-aware characterization into a complete, open-source physical design flow based on OpenROAD and the FreePDK45 library. This ensures full reproducibility and accessibility, removing dependencies on proprietary tools. Experimental results on representative convolutional neural networks (CNNs) demonstrate that OpenACM achieves energy savings of up to 64\% with negligible loss in application accuracy. The framework is available on \href{https://github.com/ShenShan123/OpenACM}{OpenACM:URL}

Replicated algebras derived equivalent to higher Auslander algebras of type A

We show that every higher Auslander algebra $A_{n+1}^d$ of type $\mathbb{A}$ such that $\gcd(n,d)=1$ is derived equivalent to a certain replicated algebra $B=B_0^{(n+d)}$. Moreover ${\rm{gldim}} B = nd$ and $B$ admits an $nd$-cluster tilting subcategory consisting of all direct sums of projective modules and injective modules. We introduce a class of algebras called $2$-subhomogeneous $m$-representation finite to characterize the homological properties of $B$ and give a method to obtain derived equivalences between fractionally Calabi-Yau algebras and $2$-subhomogeneous algebras using certain tilting complexes.

SetupKit: Efficient Multi-Corner Setup/Hold Time Characterization Using Bias-Enhanced Interpolation and Active Learning

Accurate setup/hold time characterization is crucial for modern chip timing closure, but its reliance on potentially millions of SPICE simulations across diverse process-voltagetemperature (PVT) corners creates a major bottleneck, often lasting weeks or months. Existing methods suffer from slow search convergence and inefficient exploration, especially in the multi-corner setting. We introduce SetupKit, a novel framework designed to break this bottleneck using statistical intelligence, circuit analysis and active learning (AL). SetupKit integrates three key innovations: BEIRA, a bias-enhanced interpolation search derived from statistical error modeling to accelerate convergence by overcoming stagnation issues, initial search interval estimation by circuit analysis and AL strategy using Gaussian Process. This AL component intelligently learns PVT-timing correlations, actively guiding the expensive simulations to the most informative corners, thus minimizing redundancy in multicorner characterization. Evaluated on industrial 22nm standard cells across 16 PVT corners, SetupKit demonstrates a significant 2.4x overall CPU time reduction (from 720 to 290 days on a single core) compared to standard practices, drastically cutting characterization time. SetupKit offers a principled, learningbased approach to library characterization, addressing a critical EDA challenge and paving the way for more intelligent simulation management.

MAPo : Motion-Aware Partitioning of Deformable 3D Gaussian Splatting for High-Fidelity Dynamic Scene Reconstruction

3D Gaussian Splatting, known for enabling high-quality static scene reconstruction with fast rendering, is increasingly being applied to multi-view dynamic scene reconstruction. A common strategy involves learning a deformation field to model the temporal changes of a canonical set of 3D Gaussians. However, these deformation-based methods often produce blurred renderings and lose fine motion details in highly dynamic regions due to the inherent limitations of a single, unified model in representing diverse motion patterns. To address these challenges, we introduce Motion-Aware Partitioning of Deformable 3D Gaussian Splatting (MAPo), a novel framework for high-fidelity dynamic scene reconstruction. Its core is a dynamic score-based partitioning strategy that distinguishes between high- and low-dynamic 3D Gaussians. For high-dynamic 3D Gaussians, we recursively partition them temporally and duplicate their deformation networks for each new temporal segment, enabling specialized modeling to capture intricate motion details. Concurrently, low-dynamic 3DGs are treated as static to reduce computational costs. However, this temporal partitioning strategy for high-dynamic 3DGs can introduce visual discontinuities across frames at the partition boundaries. To address this, we introduce a cross-frame consistency loss, which not only ensures visual continuity but also further enhances rendering quality. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MAPo achieves superior rendering quality compared to baselines while maintaining comparable computational costs, particularly in regions with complex or rapid motions.

Cell Library Characterization for Composite Current Source Models Based on Gaussian Process Regression and Active Learning

The composite current source (CCS) model has been adopted as an advanced timing model that represents the current behavior of cells for improved accuracy and better capability than traditional non-linear delay models (NLDM) to model complex dynamic effects and interactions under advanced process nodes. However, the high accuracy requirement, large amount of data and extensive simulation cost pose severe challenges to CCS characterization. To address these challenges, we introduce a novel Gaussian Process Regression(GPR) model with active learning(AL) to establish the characterization framework efficiently and accurately. Our approach significantly outperforms conventional commercial tools as well as learning based approaches by achieving an average absolute error of 2.05 ps and a relative error of 2.27% for current waveform of 57 cells under 9 process, voltage, temperature (PVT) corners with TSMC 22nm process. Additionally, our model drastically reduces the runtime to 27% and the storage by up to 19.5x compared with that required by commercial tools.

Pseudo-Physics-Informed Neural Operators: Enhancing Operator Learning from Limited Data

Neural operators have shown great potential in surrogate modeling. However, training a well-performing neural operator typically requires a substantial amount of data, which can pose a major challenge in complex applications. In such scenarios, detailed physical knowledge can be unavailable or difficult to obtain, and collecting extensive data is often prohibitively expensive. To mitigate this challenge, we propose the Pseudo Physics-Informed Neural Operator (PPI-NO) framework. PPI-NO constructs a surrogate physics system for the target system using partial differential equations (PDEs) derived from simple, rudimentary physics principles, such as basic differential operators. This surrogate system is coupled with a neural operator model, using an alternating update and learning process to iteratively enhance the model's predictive power. While the physics derived via PPI-NO may not mirror the ground-truth underlying physical laws -- hence the term ``pseudo physics'' -- this approach significantly improves the accuracy of standard operator learning models in data-scarce scenarios, which is evidenced by extensive evaluations across five benchmark tasks and a fatigue modeling application.

MC-VTON: Minimal Control Virtual Try-On Diffusion Transformer

Virtual try-on methods based on diffusion models achieve realistic try-on effects. They use an extra reference network or an additional image encoder to process multiple conditional image inputs, which adds complexity pre-processing and additional computational costs. Besides, they require more than 25 inference steps, bringing longer inference time. In this work, with the development of diffusion transformer (DiT), we rethink the necessity of additional reference network or image encoder and introduce MC-VTON, which leverages DiT's intrinsic backbone to seamlessly integrate minimal conditional try-on inputs. Compared to existing methods, the superiority of MC-VTON is demonstrated in four aspects: (1) Superior detail fidelity. Our DiT-based MC-VTON exhibits superior fidelity in preserving fine-grained details. (2) Simplified network and inputs. We remove any extra reference network or image encoder. We also remove unnecessary conditions like the long prompt, pose estimation, human parsing, and depth map. We require only the masked person image and the garment image. (3) Parameter-efficient training. To process the try-on task, we fine-tune the FLUX.1-dev with only 39.7M additional parameters (0.33% of the backbone parameters). (4) Less inference steps. We apply distillation diffusion on MC-VTON and only need 8 steps to generate a realistic try-on image, with only 86.8M additional parameters (0.72% of the backbone parameters). Experiments show that MC-VTON achieves superior qualitative and quantitative results with fewer condition inputs, trainable parameters, and inference steps than baseline methods.

Rethinking Video Deblurring with Wavelet-Aware Dynamic Transformer and Diffusion Model

Current video deblurring methods have limitations in recovering high-frequency information since the regression losses are conservative with high-frequency details. Since Diffusion Models (DMs) have strong capabilities in generating high-frequency details, we consider introducing DMs into the video deblurring task. However, we found that directly applying DMs to the video deblurring task has the following problems: (1) DMs require many iteration steps to generate videos from Gaussian noise, which consumes many computational resources. (2) DMs are easily misled by the blurry artifacts in the video, resulting in irrational content and distortion of the deblurred video. To address the above issues, we propose a novel video deblurring framework VD-Diff that integrates the diffusion model into the Wavelet-Aware Dynamic Transformer (WADT). Specifically, we perform the diffusion model in a highly compact latent space to generate prior features containing high-frequency information that conforms to the ground truth distribution. We design the WADT to preserve and recover the low-frequency information in the video while utilizing the high-frequency information generated by the diffusion model. Extensive experiments show that our proposed VD-Diff outperforms SOTA methods on GoPro, DVD, BSD, and Real-World Video datasets.

Rethink Arbitrary Style Transfer with Transformer and Contrastive Learning

Arbitrary style transfer holds widespread attention in research and boasts numerous practical applications. The existing methods, which either employ cross-attention to incorporate deep style attributes into content attributes or use adaptive normalization to adjust content features, fail to generate high-quality stylized images. In this paper, we introduce an innovative technique to improve the quality of stylized images. Firstly, we propose Style Consistency Instance Normalization (SCIN), a method to refine the alignment between content and style features. In addition, we have developed an Instance-based Contrastive Learning (ICL) approach designed to understand the relationships among various styles, thereby enhancing the quality of the resulting stylized images. Recognizing that VGG networks are more adept at extracting classification features and need to be better suited for capturing style features, we have also introduced the Perception Encoder (PE) to capture style features. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method generates high-quality stylized images and effectively prevents artifacts compared with the existing state-of-the-art methods.

Towards Highly Realistic Artistic Style Transfer via Stable Diffusion with Step-aware and Layer-aware Prompt

Artistic style transfer aims to transfer the learned artistic style onto an arbitrary content image, generating artistic stylized images. Existing generative adversarial network-based methods fail to generate highly realistic stylized images and always introduce obvious artifacts and disharmonious patterns. Recently, large-scale pre-trained diffusion models opened up a new way for generating highly realistic artistic stylized images. However, diffusion model-based methods generally fail to preserve the content structure of input content images well, introducing some undesired content structure and style patterns. To address the above problems, we propose a novel pre-trained diffusion-based artistic style transfer method, called LSAST, which can generate highly realistic artistic stylized images while preserving the content structure of input content images well, without bringing obvious artifacts and disharmonious style patterns. Specifically, we introduce a Step-aware and Layer-aware Prompt Space, a set of learnable prompts, which can learn the style information from the collection of artworks and dynamically adjusts the input images' content structure and style pattern. To train our prompt space, we propose a novel inversion method, called Step-ware and Layer-aware Prompt Inversion, which allows the prompt space to learn the style information of the artworks collection. In addition, we inject a pre-trained conditional branch of ControlNet into our LSAST, which further improved our framework's ability to maintain content structure. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method can generate more highly realistic artistic stylized images than the state-of-the-art artistic style transfer methods.

Rethinking Diffusion Model for Multi-Contrast MRI Super-Resolution

Recently, diffusion models (DM) have been applied in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) super-resolution (SR) reconstruction, exhibiting impressive performance, especially with regard to detailed reconstruction. However, the current DM-based SR reconstruction methods still face the following issues: (1) They require a large number of iterations to reconstruct the final image, which is inefficient and consumes a significant amount of computational resources. (2) The results reconstructed by these methods are often misaligned with the real high-resolution images, leading to remarkable distortion in the reconstructed MR images. To address the aforementioned issues, we propose an efficient diffusion model for multi-contrast MRI SR, named as DiffMSR. Specifically, we apply DM in a highly compact low-dimensional latent space to generate prior knowledge with high-frequency detail information. The highly compact latent space ensures that DM requires only a few simple iterations to produce accurate prior knowledge. In addition, we design the Prior-Guide Large Window Transformer (PLWformer) as the decoder for DM, which can extend the receptive field while fully utilizing the prior knowledge generated by DM to ensure that the reconstructed MR image remains undistorted. Extensive experiments on public and clinical datasets demonstrate that our DiffMSR outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

PNeSM: Arbitrary 3D Scene Stylization via Prompt-Based Neural Style Mapping

3D scene stylization refers to transform the appearance of a 3D scene to match a given style image, ensuring that images rendered from different viewpoints exhibit the same style as the given style image, while maintaining the 3D consistency of the stylized scene. Several existing methods have obtained impressive results in stylizing 3D scenes. However, the models proposed by these methods need to be re-trained when applied to a new scene. In other words, their models are coupled with a specific scene and cannot adapt to arbitrary other scenes. To address this issue, we propose a novel 3D scene stylization framework to transfer an arbitrary style to an arbitrary scene, without any style-related or scene-related re-training. Concretely, we first map the appearance of the 3D scene into a 2D style pattern space, which realizes complete disentanglement of the geometry and appearance of the 3D scene and makes our model be generalized to arbitrary 3D scenes. Then we stylize the appearance of the 3D scene in the 2D style pattern space via a prompt-based 2D stylization algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed framework is superior to SOTA methods in both visual quality and generalization.

Attack Deterministic Conditional Image Generative Models for Diverse and Controllable Generation

Existing generative adversarial network (GAN) based conditional image generative models typically produce fixed output for the same conditional input, which is unreasonable for highly subjective tasks, such as large-mask image inpainting or style transfer. On the other hand, GAN-based diverse image generative methods require retraining/fine-tuning the network or designing complex noise injection functions, which is computationally expensive, task-specific, or struggle to generate high-quality results. Given that many deterministic conditional image generative models have been able to produce high-quality yet fixed results, we raise an intriguing question: is it possible for pre-trained deterministic conditional image generative models to generate diverse results without changing network structures or parameters? To answer this question, we re-examine the conditional image generation tasks from the perspective of adversarial attack and propose a simple and efficient plug-in projected gradient descent (PGD) like method for diverse and controllable image generation. The key idea is attacking the pre-trained deterministic generative models by adding a micro perturbation to the input condition. In this way, diverse results can be generated without any adjustment of network structures or fine-tuning of the pre-trained models. In addition, we can also control the diverse results to be generated by specifying the attack direction according to a reference text or image. Our work opens the door to applying adversarial attack to low-level vision tasks, and experiments on various conditional image generation tasks demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
