Single-image-to-3D models typically follow a sequential generation and reconstruction workflow. However, intermediate multi-view images synthesized by pre-trained generation models often lack cross-view consistency (CVC), significantly degrading 3D reconstruction performance. While recent methods attempt to refine CVC by feeding reconstruction results back into the multi-view generator, these approaches struggle with noisy and unstable reconstruction outputs that limit effective CVC improvement.
We introduce AlignCVC, a novel framework that fundamentally re-frames single-image-to-3D generation through distribution alignment rather than relying on strict regression losses. Our key insight is to align both generated and reconstructed multi-view distributions toward the ground-truth multi-view distribution, establishing a principled foundation for improved CVC. Observing that generated images exhibit weak CVC while reconstructed images display strong CVC due to explicit rendering, we propose a soft-hard alignment strategy with distinct objectives for generation and reconstruction models. This approach not only enhances generation quality but also dramatically accelerates inference to as few as 4 steps.
As a plug-and-play paradigm, our method, namely AlignCVC, seamlessly integrates various combinations of multiview generation models with 3D reconstruction models. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of AlignCVC for single-image-to-3D generation. Codes and models will be made publicly available.

Knowledge Graph (KG)-supported Graph Neural Network (GNN) models are becoming increasingly crucial in recommendation systems due to their ability to mitigate the data sparsity challenge. However, these models remain suboptimal because they overlook the representation differences between the inherent user-item Bipartite Graph (BG) and the external head-relation-tail KG, leading to semantic misalignment. Moreover, they indiscriminately incorporate various types of relations from the KG, which may introduce noise information into the model, ultimately degrading recommendation performance. To address these challenges, we propose an end-to-end model named Multi-graph Fusion Cross-model Contrastive Learning (MFCCL). To uncover users' interest in items and explore the associations between items, We first construct a user-interest graph by integrating information from both the BG and KG, and an item-association graph derived from the KG. Furthermore, we devise a multi-graph representation learning module that incorporates rich semantics into user and item representations in parallel. Simultaneously, a classical collaborative filtering module is introduced to fully leverage user-item collaborative signals. In addition, we design a novel free data-augmentation cross-model contrastive learning to facilitate the exchange of complementary information between different models. Empirical evaluations on three widely-used benchmarks demonstrate that our MFCCL method achieved significant improvements over the baselines. Further analyses confirmed the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed multi-graph fusion representation and cross-model contrastive learning.

Neural signed distance functions (SDFs) have been a vital representation to represent 3D shapes or scenes with neural networks. An SDF is an implicit function that can query signed distances at specific coordinates for recovering a 3D surface. Although implicit functions work well on a single shape or scene, they pose obstacles when analyzing multiple SDFs with high-fidelity geometry details, due to the non-compact representations of SDFs and the loss of geometry details. To overcome these obstacles, we introduce a method to represent multiple SDFs in a common space, aiming to recover more high-fidelity geometry details with more compact latent representations. Our key idea is to take full advantage of the benefits of generalization-based and overfitting-based learning strategies, which manage to preserve high-fidelity geometry details with compact latent codes. Based on this framework, we also introduce a novel sampling strategy to sample training queries. The sampling can improve the training efficiency and eliminate artifacts caused by the influence of other SDFs. We report numerical and visual evaluations on widely used benchmarks to validate our designs and show advantages over the latest methods in terms of the representative ability and compactness.

Many optimization tasks involve streaming data with unknown concept drifts, posing a significant challenge as Streaming Data-Driven Optimization (SDDO). Existing methods, while leveraging surrogate model approximation and historical knowledge transfer, are often under restrictive assumptions such as fixed drift intervals and fully environmental observability, thus limiting their adaptability to diverse dynamic environments. We propose TRACE, a \underline{TRA}nsferable \underline{C}oncept-drift \underline{E}stimator that effectively detects distributional changes in streaming data with varying time scales. TRACE leverages a principled tokenization strategy to extract statistical features from data streams and models drift patterns using attention-based sequence learning, enabling accurate detection on unseen datasets and highlighting the transferability of learned drift patterns. Further, we showcase TRACE's plug-and-play nature by integrating it into a streaming optimizer, facilitating adaptive optimization under unknown concept drifts. Comprehensive experimental results on diverse benchmarks demonstrate the superior generalization, robustness, and effectiveness of our approach in SDDO scenarios. We provide TRACE's code at https://github.com/YTALIEN/TRACE.

In image enhancement tasks, such as low-light and underwater image enhancement, a degraded image can correspond to multiple plausible target images due to dynamic photography conditions, such as variations in illumination. This naturally results in a one-to-many mapping challenge.
To address this, we propose a Bayesian Enhancement Model (BEM) that incorporates Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs) to capture data uncertainty and produce diverse outputs. To enable fast inference, we introduce a BNN-DNN framework: a BNN is first employed to model the one-to-many mapping in a low-dimensional space, followed by a Deterministic Neural Network (DNN) that refines fine-grained image details.
Extensive experiments on multiple low-light and underwater image enhancement benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

Bayesian Neural Networks for One-to-Many Mapping in Image Enhancement

Point cloud quality assessment (PCQA) has advanced significantly with synthetic datasets offering diverse distortion coverage for model training. However, when applied to new application scenarios, models often suffer from performance drops due to mismatched distortion characteristics between source and target domains. Most current methods use all available synthetic distortions, which may introduce irrelevant features and hinder generalization. To address this, we propose DST-PCQA, a distortion-selective training framework for PCQA. Unlike previous approaches that treat all distortions equally, DST-PCQA identifies and selects distortion types most relevant to a target domain by analyzing inter-domain distortion similarity. This selective strategy reduces negative transfer and enables efficient domain-specific training. To fully leverage the selected distortions for both classification and quality prediction, we adopt a dual-branch architecture that fuses 2D visual cues and 3D geometric structure via cross-modal attention. This design supports multi-level feature alignment across modalities and enables fine-grained distortion understanding. Extensive evaluations across three target domains have verified the effectiveness of DST-PCQA over full-set training baselines. Moreover, its distortion-selective strategy is orthogonal to existing model-based PCQA methods, enabling improved cross-domain performance and reduced training costs across a wide range of architectures.

Not All Distortions Are Created Equal: Distortion-Selective Domain Adaptation for Point Cloud Quality Assessment

Cooperative perception (CP) enhances situational awareness of connected and autonomous vehicles by exchanging and combining messages from multiple agents. While prior work has explored adversarial integrity attacks that degrade detection accuracy, little is known about CP's robustness against attacks on timeliness (or availability), a safety-critical requirement for autonomous driving. In this paper, we present CP-FREEZER, the first latency attack that maximizes the computation delay of CP algorithms by injecting adversarial perturbation via V2V messages. Our attack resolves several unique challenges, including the non-differentiability of point cloud preprocessing, asynchronous knowledge of the victim’s input due to transmission delays, and uses a novel loss function that effectively maximizes the execution time of the CP pipeline. Extensive experiments show that CP-FREEZER increases end-to-end CP latency by over $90\times$, pushing per-frame processing time beyond 3 seconds with a 100\% success rate on our real-world vehicle testbed. Our findings reveal a critical threat to the availability of CP systems, highlighting the urgent need for robust defenses.

CP-FREEZER: Latency Attacks Against Vehicular Cooperative Perception

Existing 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) super-resolution methods typically perform high-resolution (HR) rendering of fixed scale factors, making them impractical for resource-limited scenarios. Directly rendering arbitrary-scale HR views with vanilla 3DGS introduces aliasing artifacts due to the lack of scale-aware rendering ability, while adding a post-processing upsampler for 3DGS complicates the framework and reduces rendering efficiency. To tackle these issues, we build an integrated framework that incorporates scale-aware rendering, generative prior-guided optimization, and progressive super-resolving to enable 3D Gaussian super-resolution of arbitrary scale factors with a single 3D model. Notably, our approach supports both integer and non-integer scale rendering to provide more flexibility. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our model in producing high-quality arbitrary-scale HR views (6.59 dB PSNR gain over 3DGS) with a single model. It preserves structural consistency with LR views and across different scales, while maintaining real-time rendering speed (85 FPS at 1080p).

Existing unsupervised image alignment methods exhibit limited accuracy and high computational complexity. To address these challenges, we propose a dense cross-scale image alignment model. It takes into account the correlations between cross-scale features to decrease the alignment difficulty. Our model supports flexible trade-offs between accuracy and efficiency by adjusting the number of scales utilized. Additionally, we introduce a fully spatial correlation module to further improve accuracy while maintaining low computational costs. We incorporate the just noticeable difference to encourage our model to focus on image regions more sensitive to distortions, eliminating noticeable alignment errors. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experiments demonstrate that our method surpasses state-of-the-art approaches.

In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised shape matching framework based on probabilistic deformation consistency in the spectral domain, termed as PDCMatch. Axiomatic optimization methods suffer from expensive geodesic distance calculations and vulnerability to local optima, and learning-based methods typically lack geometric consistency in pointwise correspondences. To overcome both limitations, we develop a non-Euclidean probabilistic deformation model that jointly estimates the underlying deformation and the correspondence probability via a linear Expectation-Maximization procedure. Building on this formulation, we further design a task-specific deformation loss that explicitly encourages geometric smoothness and structural consistency in an unsupervised manner. This tailored loss function plays a central role in improving the matching performance across challenging scenarios. Extensive experiments on public benchmarks involving near-isometric shapes, anisotropic meshing, cross-dataset generalization, topological noise, and non-isometric shapes demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, highlighting both its effectiveness and generalizability.

Probabilistic Deformation Consistency for Unsupervised Shape Matching

Tool-use capabilities fundamentally transform large language models (LLMs) from passive language generators into active agents with real-world utility, drawing intense research focus. Yet, their emergent nature renders traditional scaling laws ineffective for early-stage prediction, obstructing principled model design and efficient training. In this work, we propose a proxy-task perspective that predicts tool-use capabilities by measuring early model performance on selected non-emergent proxy tasks. Our method quantifies two properties of each proxy task: alignment, which reflects how well it captures tool-use trajectories, and stability, which indicates how consistently it behaves across training conditions. These properties are used to weight predictive signals. Theoretically, we formalize how these weighted signals approximate emergent tool use through bounded extrapolation under relaxed assumptions. Empirically, we validate our approach across training checkpoints, model scales, and data setups. Results show that a carefully weighted ensemble of proxy tasks can accurately rank downstream tool-use ability long before it arises. Our findings provide new theoretical foundations and practical tools for efficient training and capability planning, and advance the understanding of how complex abilities arise in LLMs.
