Scene flow estimation, which aims to predict per-point 3D displacements of dynamic scenes, is a fundamental task in the computer vision field. However, previous works commonly suffer from unreliable correlation caused by locally constrained searching ranges, and struggle with accumulated inaccuracy arising from the coarse-to-fine structure. To alleviate these problems, we propose a novel uncertainty-aware scene flow estimation network (DifFlow3D) with the diffusion probabilistic model. Iterative diffusion-based refinement is designed to enhance the correlation robustness and resilience to challenging cases, e.g. dynamics, noisy inputs, repetitive patterns, etc. To restrain the generation diversity, three key flow-related features are leveraged as conditions in our diffusion model. Furthermore, we also develop an uncertainty estimation module within diffusion to evaluate the reliability of estimated scene flow. Our DifFlow3D achieves state-of-the-art performance, with 24.0% and 29.1% EPE3D reduction respectively on FlyingThings3D and KITTI 2015 datasets. Notably, our method achieves an unprecedented millimeter-level accuracy (0.0078m in EPE3D) on the KITTI dataset. Additionally, our diffusion-based refinement paradigm can be readily integrated as a plug-and-play module into existing scene flow networks, significantly increasing their estimation accuracy.

Point cloud videos can faithfully capture real-world spatial geometries and temporal dynamics, which are essential for enabling intelligent agents to understand the dynamically changing world. However, designing an effective 4D backbone remains challenging, mainly due to the irregular and unordered distribution of points and temporal inconsistencies across frames. Also, recent transformer-based 4D backbones commonly suffer from large computational costs due to their quadratic complexity, particularly for long video sequences. To address these challenges, we propose a novel point cloud video understanding backbone purely based on the State Space Models (SSMs). Specifically, we first disentangle space and time in 4D video sequences and then establish the spatio-temporal correlation with our designed Mamba blocks. The Intra-frame Spatial Mamba module is developed to encode locally similar geometric structures within a certain temporal stride. Subsequently, locally correlated tokens are delivered to the Inter-frame Temporal Mamba module, which integrates long-term point features across the entire video with linear complexity. Our proposed Mamba4d achieves competitive performance on the MSR-Action3D action recognition (+10.4% accuracy), HOI4D action segmentation (+0.7 F1 Score), and Synthia4D semantic segmentation (+0.19 mIoU) datasets. Especially, for long video sequences, our method has a significant efficiency improvement with 87.5% GPU memory reduction and 5.36 times speed-up. Codes will be released at https://github.com/IRMVLab/Mamba4D.

Standard Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models rely on centralized routing mechanisms that introduce rigid inductive biases. We propose Routing-Free MoE which eliminates any hard-coded centralized designs including external routers, Softmax, Top-K and load balancing, instead encapsulating all activation functionalities within individual experts and directly optimized through continuous gradient flow, enabling each expert to determine its activation entirely on its own. We introduce a unified adaptive load-balancing framework to simultaneously optimize both expert-balancing and token-balancing objectives through a configurable interpolation, allowing flexible and customizable resource allocation. Extensive experiments show that Routing-Free MoE can consistently outperform baselines with better scalability and robustness. We analyze its behavior in detail and offer insights that may facilitate future MoE design ad optimization.

The ability to transform a flat sheet into a complex three-dimensional structure is a fundamental test of physical intelligence. Unlike cloth manipulation, origami is governed by strict geometric axioms and hard kinematic constraints, where a single invalid crease or collision can invalidate the entire folding sequence. As a result, origami demands long-horizon constructive reasoning that jointly satisfies precise physical laws and high-level semantic intent. Existing approaches fall into two disjoint paradigms: optimization-based methods enforce physical validity but require dense, precisely specified inputs, making them unsuitable for sparse natural language descriptions, while generative foundation models excel at semantic and perceptual synthesis yet fail to produce long-horizon, physics-consistent folding processes. Consequently, generating valid origami folding sequences directly from text remains an open challenge. To address this gap, we introduce Learn2Fold, a neuro-symbolic framework that formulates origami folding as conditional program induction over a crease-pattern graph. Our key insight is to decouple semantic proposal from physical verification. A large language model generates candidate folding programs from abstract text prompts, while a learned graph-structured world model serves as a differentiable surrogate simulator that predicts physical feasibility and failure modes before execution. Integrated within a lookahead planning loop, Learn2Fold enables robust generation of physically valid folding sequences for complex and out-of-distribution patterns, demonstrating that effective spatial intelligence arises from the synergy between symbolic reasoning and grounded physical simulation.

We present RaCig, a novel system for generating comic-style image sequences with consistent characters and expressive gestures. RaCig addresses two key challenges: (1) maintaining character identity and costume consistency across frames, and (2) producing diverse and vivid character gestures. Our approach integrates a retrieval-based character assignment module, which aligns characters in textual prompts with reference images, and a regional character injection mechanism that embeds character features into specified image regions. Experimental results demonstrate that RaCig effectively generates engaging comic narratives with coherent characters and dynamic interactions. The source code will be publicly available to support further research in this area.
