InsertFuse: A Unified Framework for Multi-Category Reference-Guided Image Insertion

We present InsertFuse, a unified framework for multi-category reference-guided image insertion. Its key idea is to decouple category-specific expertise learning from cross-category capability consolidation. InsertFuse first trains specialized experts for different insertion categories and then introduces Insertion On-Policy Distillation (IOPD) to consolidate their capabilities into a single student. By querying the matched expert at states visited by the student, IOPD preserves category-specific insertion behavior while mitigating the cross-category interference caused by direct joint training. To improve spatial control, we propose Token-Aligned Geometry Conditioning (TAGC), which maps mask-derived geometric cues to the visual token grid, and Region-Balanced Flow Matching, which separately normalizes prediction errors inside and outside the insertion region to prevent background-dominated and scale-dependent supervision. We further introduce Reference CFG to isolate and strengthen the guidance induced by the visual reference under fixed scene and geometry conditions, with IOPD transferring this enhanced supervision into the unified student. Extensive experiments on the public AnyInsertion benchmark and our multi-category test set demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on most metrics, showing strong reference fidelity and generation quality across diverse insertion categories.

REF-VLM: Triplet-Based Referring Paradigm for Unified Visual Decoding

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate robust zero-shot capabilities across diverse vision-language tasks after training on mega-scale datasets. However, dense prediction tasks, such as semantic segmentation and keypoint detection, pose significant challenges for MLLMs when represented solely as text outputs. Simultaneously, current MLLMs utilizing latent embeddings for visual task decoding generally demonstrate limited adaptability to both multi-task learning and multi-granularity scenarios. In this work, we present \textbf{REF-VLM}, an end-to-end framework for unified training of various visual decoding tasks. To address complex visual decoding scenarios, we introduce the \textbf{Triplet-Based Referring Paradigm (TRP)}, which explicitly decouples three critical dimensions in visual decoding tasks through a triplet structure: concepts, decoding types, and targets. TRP employs symbolic delimiters to enforce structured representation learning, enhancing the parsability and interpretability of model outputs. Additionally, we construct \textbf{Visual-Task Instruction Following Dataset (VT-Instruct)}, a large-scale multi-task dataset containing over 100 million multimodal dialogue samples across 25 task types. Beyond text inputs and outputs, VT-Instruct incorporates various visual prompts such as point, box, scribble, and mask, and generates outputs composed of text and visual units like box, keypoint, depth and mask. The combination of different visual prompts and visual units generates a wide variety of task types, expanding the applicability of REF-VLM significantly. Both qualitative and quantitative experiments demonstrate that our REF-VLM outperforms other MLLMs across a variety of standard benchmarks. The code, dataset, and demo will be publicly available.

Leveraging Compressed Frame Sizes For Ultra-Fast Video Classification

Classifying videos into distinct categories, such as Sport and Music Video, is crucial for multimedia understanding and retrieval, especially when an immense volume of video content is being constantly generated. Traditional methods require video decompression to extract pixel-level features like color, texture, and motion, thereby increasing computational and storage demands. Moreover, these methods often suffer from performance degradation in low-quality videos. We present a novel approach that examines only the post-compression bitstream of a video to perform classification, eliminating the need for bitstream decoding. To validate our approach, we built a comprehensive data set comprising over 29,000 YouTube video clips, totaling 6,000 hours and spanning 11 distinct categories. Our evaluations indicate precision, accuracy, and recall rates consistently above 80%, many exceeding 90%, and some reaching 99%. The algorithm operates approximately 15,000 times faster than real-time for 30fps videos, outperforming traditional Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm by seven orders of magnitude.

An Analysis of the Recovery Path of the Consumer Sector in the Post-Pandemic Era

This paper proposes a referencable pattern of the recovery of the consumption sector, a new dimension to observe and evaluate the intrinsic value of the consumption sector, and proposes the concept of sensory-based consumption and the ranking of the weights of different categories;creates the concept of digital consumption index, coupled with digital RMB index and China-style digital economy index. Finally we explain the internal logic of digital consumption as a consumption upgrade tool and a higher valuation target in the context of China's economic performance in 2022 and the Chinese government's policy in 2023, leading to the investment strategy of roller conduction effect.

Judging a video by its bitstream cover

Classifying videos into distinct categories, such as Sport and Music Video, is crucial for multimedia understanding and retrieval, especially in an age where an immense volume of video content is constantly being generated. Traditional methods require video decompression to extract pixel-level features like color, texture, and motion, thereby increasing computational and storage demands. Moreover, these methods often suffer from performance degradation in low-quality videos. We present a novel approach that examines only the post-compression bitstream of a video to perform classification, eliminating the need for bitstream. We validate our approach using a custom-built data set comprising over 29,000 YouTube video clips, totaling 6,000 hours and spanning 11 distinct categories. Our preliminary evaluations indicate precision, accuracy, and recall rates well over 80%. The algorithm operates approximately 15,000 times faster than real-time for 30fps videos, outperforming traditional Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm by six orders of magnitude.
