A Cookbook of 3D Vision: Data, Learning Paradigms, and Application

Hongyang Du, Zongxia Li, Dawei Liu et al.

3D vision has rapidly evolved, driven by increasingly diverse data representations, learning paradigms, and modeling strategies. Yet the field remains fragmented across representations and benchmarks, making it difficult to develop unified perspectives on efficiency, fidelity, and scalability. This work provides a data-centric taxonomy of 3D vision that connects geometric representations, datasets, learning frameworks, and applications within a single conceptual map. We begin by analysing the principal structural representations of 3D data--point clouds, meshes, voxels, and 3D Gaussians--along with their acquisition pipelines. We then examine how dataset design, benchmark construction, and supervision regimes shape recent advances, spanning 2D-supervised 3D learning, implicit neural representations, and 4D world modeling. Through this integrative lens, we clarify the relationships among representations, learning paradigms, and downstream tasks in reconstruction, generation, and video modeling, offering a consolidated view of emerging trends toward balancing efficiency and fidelity and toward multimodal geometric grounding.

Graph of Skills: Dependency-Aware Structural Retrieval for Massive Agent Skills

Dawei Li, Zongxia Li, Hongyang Du et al.

Skill usage has become a core component of modern agent systems and can substantially improve agents' ability to complete complex tasks. In real-world settings, where agents must monitor and interact with numerous personal applications, web browsers, and other environment interfaces, skill libraries can scale to thousands of reusable skills. Scaling to larger skill sets introduces two key challenges. First, loading the full skill set saturates the context window, driving up token costs, hallucination, and latency. In this paper, we present Graph of Skills (GoS), an inference-time structural retrieval layer for large skill libraries. GoS constructs an executable skill graph offline from skill packages, then at inference time retrieves a bounded, dependency-aware skill bundle through hybrid semantic-lexical seeding, reverse-weighted Personalized PageRank, and context-budgeted hydration. On SkillsBench and ALFWorld, GoS improves average reward by 43.6% over the vanilla full skill-loading baseline while reducing input tokens by 37.8%, and generalizes across three model families: Claude Sonnet, GPT-5.2 Codex, and MiniMax. Additional ablation studies across skill libraries ranging from 200 to 2,000 skills further demonstrate that GoS consistently outperforms both vanilla skills loading and simple vector retrieval in balancing reward, token efficiency, and runtime.
