GAC: Noise-Aware Adaptive Mixing for Hybrid SFT-RL Post-Training

Hybrid post-training usually combines supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, but fixed mixing schedules cannot adapt when the relative noise of the two signals changes over time. We propose GAC, a noise-aware controller that derives an adaptive mixing weight from online estimates of gradient variance and disagreement between the two training signals. The method adds smoothing, prior guidance, and bounded updates while reusing existing training tensors. Experiments on math, code, science, and logic benchmarks show that GAC consistently improves hybrid post-training over strong fixed and rule-based baselines, with larger gains at larger model scales and less than 1% training overhead.

Full-4D: Generating Full-Scope 4D Scenes from a Single-View Video

Generating 4D scenes from a single-view video is inherently ill-posed: a single viewpoint lacks the information needed to recover a complete, dynamic scene with full coverage. Existing methods are typically limited to monocular videos, simple 3D effects, or only small viewpoint perturbations around the original viewpoint, falling short of true 4D generation. Meanwhile, the lack of large-scale datasets capturing full-scope 4D scenes with synchronized multi-view videos further hinders progress in this direction. We propose a novel single-view video-to-4D framework that casts full-scope 4D generation as a multi-view video synthesis followed by optimization-based 4D reconstruction from the generated views. To instantiate this formulation end-to-end, we make three key contributions. First, we introduce Real-MV-4D, a large-scale dataset of synchronized multi-view videos captured in diverse real-world environments to provide the 4D supervision. Second, we train a multi-view video diffusion model driven by a novel fused time(T)-view(V) attention mechanism that directly embeds geometric reprojection priors and explicit camera conditioning into its view-time interactions. Unlike basic feature fusion, this direct binding strictly aligns the generation process with physical 3D priors to produce a dense, synchronized T$\times $V video grid. Third, rather than relying on non-interactive and inconsistent 2D video interpolations, we lift the synthesized multi-view videos into an explicit 4D representation (i.e. 4DGS), regularized by a Flow Matching Distillation loss that exploits the multi-view prior to improve novel-view rendering. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms existing approaches in both visual fidelity and geometric consistency, enabling full-scope 4D scene generation from single-view videos.

Dual-Latent Collaborative Decoding for Fidelity-Perception Balanced Image Compression

Learned image compression (LIC) increasingly requires reconstructions that balance distortion fidelity and perceptual realism across a wide range of bitrates. However, most existing methods still rely on a single compressed latent representation to simultaneously carry structural details, semantic cues, and perceptual priors, requiring the same latent representation to serve multiple, potentially conflicting roles. This tension becomes evident across different latent paradigms: scalar-quantized (SQ) continuous latents provide rate-scalable fidelity but tend to lose perceptual details at low rates, while vector-quantized (VQ) discrete tokens preserve compact semantic cues but suffer from limited structural fidelity and bitrate scalability. To address this issue, we propose Mixture of Decoder Experts (MoDE), a dual-latent collaborative decoding framework that decomposes reconstruction responsibilities across complementary latent paradigms. Specifically, MoDE treats the SQ branch as a fidelity-oriented expert and the VQ branch as a perception-oriented expert, and coordinates them through two decoder-side modules: Expert-Specific Enhancement (ESE), which preserves branch-specific expert references, and Cross-Expert Modulation (CEM), which enables selective complementary transfer during reconstruction. The resulting framework supports selective cross-latent collaboration under a shared dual-stream bitstream and enables both fidelity-anchored and perception-anchored decoding. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MoDE achieves a more favorable fidelity-perception balance than representative distortion-oriented, perception-oriented, generative, and dual-latent baselines across a wide bitrate range, highlighting decoder-side expert collaboration as an effective design for wide-range fidelity-perception balanced LIC.

AuditRepairBench: A Paired-Execution Trace Corpus for Evaluator-Channel Ranking Instability in Agent Repair

Agent-repair leaderboards reorder under evaluator reconfiguration, and a measurable share of the reordering is produced by methods that consult evaluator-derived signal during internal selection of candidate repairs. We document this failure mode on a public leaderboard and release AuditRepairBench, a paired-execution trace corpus of 576,000 registered cells (96,000 executed) that operationalizes evaluator-channel-blocking ranking instability within a declared observability boundary. A modular screening architecture decides pathway-blocking through four interchangeable implementations, a learned influence proxy, a rule-based channel-exposure ratio that uses no trained model, a counterfactual sensitivity proxy, and a sparse human-audit proxy, combined into a screening posterior that feeds a cell-level flip functional, a set-valued label, a stratified system score, and a set-valued leaderboard. The resource is supported by mechanism-anchored validation on an 80-case source-level channel-surgery subset, an independent-discovery protocol under which two annotator groups separated from the pipeline developers discover coupling patterns blinded to the screening design and the frozen ensemble attains pooled AUROC 0.83 on their 79 cases, implementation robustness, uncertainty propagation that raises 95% coverage from 0.81 to 0.95, and forward transfer with pooled community-evaluator Spearman \r{ho} = 0.65. Screening-guided blinding patches reduce rank displacement by 55--74% (mean 62%) at fewer than 50 lines of code, whereas random channel blinding produces at most 7% reduction and generic retraining at most 13%. AuditRepairBench-Lite, a rule-only configuration on a 12,000-cell subset, preserves the leaderboard at Kendall τ = 0.88 under twenty-four GPU-hours and is the primary release artifact at 42 GB.

Hidden Failure Modes of Gradient Modification under Adam in Continual Learning, and Adaptive Decoupled Moment Routing as a Repair

Many continual-learning methods modify gradients upstream (e.g., projection, penalty rescaling, replay mixing) while treating Adam as a neutral backend. We show this composition has a hidden failure mode. In a high-overlap, non-adaptive 8-domain continual LM, all shared-routing projection baselines collapse close to vanilla forgetting (12.5--12.8 vs. 13.2). A 0.5% replay buffer is the strongest shared alternative but still reaches 11.6, while fixed-strength decoupling falls below vanilla at 14.1. Only adaptive decoupled routing remains stable at 9.4, improving over vanilla by 3.8 units. On a 16-domain stream, its gain over the strongest shared-routing projection baseline grows to 4.5--4.8 units. The failure is largely invisible on clean benchmarks. We explain this effect through Adam's second-moment pathway: in the tested regime, projection induces a 1/(1-alpha) inflation of the old-direction effective learning rate, matching measurements within 8% across eight alpha values. The same conflict appears with penalty methods, replay mixing, and at 7B scale under LoRA. Our fix routes the modified gradient only to the first moment while preserving magnitude-faithful second-moment statistics, with overlap-aware adaptive strength. This simple change is the only tested configuration that consistently avoids collapse across methods, optimizers, and scale.

DP-DeGauss: Dynamic Probabilistic Gaussian Decomposition for Egocentric 4D Scene Reconstruction

Egocentric video is crucial for next-generation 4D scene reconstruction, with applications in AR/VR and embodied AI. However, reconstructing dynamic first-person scenes is challenging due to complex ego-motion, occlusions, and hand-object interactions. Existing decomposition methods are ill-suited, assuming fixed viewpoints or merging dynamics into a single foreground. To address these limitations, we introduce DP-DeGauss, a dynamic probabilistic Gaussian decomposition framework for egocentric 4D reconstruction. Our method initializes a unified 3D Gaussian set from COLMAP priors, augments each with a learnable category probability, and dynamically routes them into specialized deformation branches for background, hands, or object modeling. We employ category-specific masks for better disentanglement and introduce brightness and motion-flow control to improve static rendering and dynamic reconstruction. Extensive experiments show that DP-DeGauss outperforms baselines by +1.70dB in PSNR on average with SSIM and LPIPS gains. More importantly, our framework achieves the first and state-of-the-art disentanglement of background, hand, and object components, enabling explicit, fine-grained separation, paving the way for more intuitive ego scene understanding and editing.

IQ-LUT: interpolated and quantized LUT for efficient image super-resolution

Lookup table (LUT) methods demonstrate considerable potential in accelerating image super-resolution inference. However, pursuing higher image quality through larger receptive fields and bit-depth triggers exponential growth in the LUT's index space, creating a storage bottleneck that limits deployment on resource-constrained devices. We introduce IQ-LUT, which achieves a reduction in LUT size while simultaneously enhancing super-resolution quality. First, we integrate interpolation and quantization into the single-input, multiple-output ECNN, which dramatically reduces the index space and thereby the overall LUT size. Second, the integration of residual learning mitigates the dependence on LUT bit-depth, which facilitates training stability and prioritizes the reconstruction of fine-grained details for superior visual quality. Finally, guided by knowledge distillation, our non-uniform quantization process optimizes the quantization levels, thereby reducing storage while also compensating for quantization loss. Extensive benchmarking demonstrates our approach substantially reduces storage costs (by up to 50x compared to ECNN) while achieving superior super-resolution quality.

Joint Degradation-Aware Arbitrary-Scale Super-Resolution for Variable-Rate Extreme Image Compression

Recent diffusion-based extreme image compression methods have demonstrated remarkable performance at ultra-low bitrates. However, most approaches require training separate diffusion models for each target bitrate, resulting in substantial computational overhead and hindering practical deployment. Meanwhile, recent studies have shown that joint super-resolution can serve as an effective approach for enhancing low-bitrate reconstruction. However, when moving toward ultra-low bitrate regimes, these methods struggle due to severe information loss, and their reliance on fixed super-resolution scales prevents flexible adaptation across diverse bitrates. To address these limitations, we propose ASSR-EIC, a novel image compression framework that leverages arbitrary-scale super-resolution (ASSR) to support variable-rate extreme image compression (EIC). An arbitrary-scale downsampling module is introduced at the encoder side to provide controllable rate reduction, while a diffusion-based, joint degradation-aware ASSR decoder enables rate-adaptive reconstruction within a single model. We exploit the compression- and rescaling-aware diffusion prior to guide the reconstruction, yielding high fidelity and high realism restoration across diverse compression and rescaling settings. Specifically, we design a global compression-rescaling adaptor that offers holistic guidance for rate adaptation, and a local compression-rescaling modulator that dynamically balances generative and fidelity-oriented behaviors to achieve fine-grained, bitrate-adaptive detail restoration. To further enhance reconstruction quality, we introduce a dual semantic-enhanced design. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ASSR-EIC delivers state-of-the-art performance in extreme image compression while simultaneously supporting flexible bitrate control and adaptive rate-dependent reconstruction.

OmniZip: Learning a Unified and Lightweight Lossless Compressor for Multi-Modal Data

Lossless compression is essential for efficient data storage and transmission. Although learning-based lossless compressors achieve strong results, most of them are designed for a single modality, leading to redundant compressor deployments in multi-modal settings. Designing a unified multi-modal compressor is critical yet challenging, as different data types vary largely in format, dimension, and statistics. Multi-modal large language models offer a promising resolution but remain too complex for practical use. Thus, we propose \textbf{OmniZip}, \textbf{a unified and lightweight lossless compressor for multi-modal data (like image, text, speech, tactile, database, and gene sequence)}. Built on a lightweight backbone, OmniZip incorporates three key components to enable efficient multi-modal lossless compression: a modality-unified tokenizer that reversibly transforms diverse data into tokens, a modality-routing context learning mechanism that enables flexible multi-modal context modeling, and a modality-routing feedforward design that further enhances the model's nonlinear representation flexibility. A reparameterization training strategy is used to enhance model capacity. OmniZip outperforms or matches other state-of-the-art compressors on multiple modalities, achieving 42\%, 57\%, 62\% and 42\%, 53\% higher compression efficiency than gzip on CLIC-M, TouchandGo, enwik9, LibriSpeech, and WikiSQL datasets, respectively. It also supports near real-time inference on resource-constrained edge devices, reaching about 1MB/s on MacBook CPUs and iPhone NPUs. Our code is released at https://github.com/adminasmi/OmniZip-CVPR2026.

TaCo: A Benchmark for Lossless and Lossy Codecs of Heterogeneous Tactile Data

Tactile sensing is crucial for embodied intelligence, providing fine-grained perception and control in complex environments. However, efficient tactile data compression, which is essential for real-time robotic applications under strict bandwidth constraints, remains underexplored. The inherent heterogeneity and spatiotemporal complexity of tactile data further complicate this challenge. To bridge this gap, we introduce TaCo, the first comprehensive benchmark for Tactile data Codecs. TaCo evaluates 30 compression methods, including off-the-shelf compression algorithms and neural codecs, across five diverse datasets from various sensor types. We systematically assess both lossless and lossy compression schemes on four key tasks: lossless storage, human visualization, material and object classification, and dexterous robotic grasping. Notably, we pioneer the development of data-driven codecs explicitly trained on tactile data, TaCo-LL (lossless) and TaCo-L (lossy). Results have validated the superior performance of our TaCo-LL and TaCo-L. This benchmark provides a foundational framework for understanding the critical trade-offs between compression efficiency and task performance, paving the way for future advances in tactile perception.
