Context-Agent: Dynamic Discourse Trees for Non-Linear Dialogue

Large Language Models demonstrate outstanding performance in many language tasks but still face fundamental challenges in managing the non-linear flow of human conversation. The prevalent approach of treating dialogue history as a flat, linear sequence is misaligned with the intrinsically hierarchical and branching structure of natural discourse, leading to inefficient context utilization and a loss of coherence during extended interactions involving topic shifts or instruction refinements. To address this limitation, we introduce Context-Agent, a novel framework that models multi-turn dialogue history as a dynamic tree structure. This approach mirrors the inherent non-linearity of conversation, enabling the model to maintain and navigate multiple dialogue branches corresponding to different topics. Furthermore, to facilitate robust evaluation, we introduce the Non-linear Task Multi-turn Dialogue (NTM) benchmark, specifically designed to assess model performance in long-horizon, non-linear scenarios. Our experiments demonstrate that Context-Agent enhances task completion rates and improves token efficiency across various LLMs, underscoring the value of structured context management for complex, dynamic dialogues. The dataset and code is available at GitHub.

Recovering 3D Shapes from Ultra-Fast Motion-Blurred Images

We consider the problem of 3D shape recovery from ultra-fast motion-blurred images. While 3D reconstruction from static images has been extensively studied, recovering geometry from extreme motion-blurred images remains challenging. Such scenarios frequently occur in both natural and industrial settings, such as fast-moving objects in sports (e.g., balls) or rotating machinery, where rapid motion distorts object appearance and makes traditional 3D reconstruction techniques like Multi-View Stereo (MVS) ineffective. In this paper, we propose a novel inverse rendering approach for shape recovery from ultra-fast motion-blurred images. While conventional rendering techniques typically synthesize blur by averaging across multiple frames, we identify a major computational bottleneck in the repeated computation of barycentric weights. To address this, we propose a fast barycentric coordinate solver, which significantly reduces computational overhead and achieves a speedup of up to 4.57x, enabling efficient and photorealistic simulation of high-speed motion. Crucially, our method is fully differentiable, allowing gradients to propagate from rendered images to the underlying 3D shape, thereby facilitating shape recovery through inverse rendering. We validate our approach on two representative motion types: rapid translation and rotation. Experimental results demonstrate that our method enables efficient and realistic modeling of ultra-fast moving objects in the forward simulation. Moreover, it successfully recovers 3D shapes from 2D imagery of objects undergoing extreme translational and rotational motion, advancing the boundaries of vision-based 3D reconstruction.
