Recently, video generation has witnessed rapid advancements, drawing increasing attention to image-to-video (I2V) synthesis on mobile devices. However, the substantial computational complexity and slow generation speed of diffusion models pose significant challenges for real-time, high-resolution video generation on resource-constrained mobile devices. In this work, we propose MobileI2V, a 270M lightweight diffusion model for real-time image-to-video generation on mobile devices. The core lies in: (1) We analyzed the performance of linear attention modules and softmax attention modules on mobile devices, and proposed a linear hybrid architecture denoiser that balances generation efficiency and quality. (2) We design a time-step distillation strategy that compresses the I2V sampling steps from more than 20 to only two without significant quality loss, resulting in a 10-fold increase in generation speed. (3) We apply mobile-specific attention optimizations that yield a 2-fold speed-up for attention operations during on-device inference. MobileI2V enables, for the first time, fast 720p image-to-video generation on mobile devices, with quality comparable to existing models. Under one-step conditions, the generation speed of each frame of 720p video is less than 100 ms. Our code is available at: https://github.com/hustvl/MobileI2V.

Sepsis is a severe condition responsible for many deaths in the United States and worldwide, making accurate prediction of outcomes crucial for timely and effective treatment. Previous studies employing machine learning faced limitations in feature selection and model interpretability, reducing their clinical applicability. This research aimed to develop an interpretable and accurate machine learning model to predict in-hospital sepsis mortality, addressing these gaps. Using ICU patient records from the MIMIC-III database, we extracted relevant data through a combination of literature review, clinical input refinement, and Random Forest-based feature selection, identifying the top 35 features. Data preprocessing included cleaning, imputation, standardization, and applying the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to address class imbalance, resulting in a dataset of 4,683 patients with 17,429 admissions. Five models-Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, and K-Nearest Neighbor-were developed and evaluated. The Random Forest model demonstrated the best performance, achieving an accuracy of 0.90, AUROC of 0.97, precision of 0.93, recall of 0.91, and F1-score of 0.92. These findings underscore the potential of data-driven machine learning approaches to improve critical care, offering clinicians a powerful tool for predicting in-hospital sepsis mortality and enhancing patient outcomes.
