Masked autoencoding has emerged as a prominent paradigm for self-supervised learning on 3D point clouds, achieving competitive performance across downstream tasks. Unlike its 2D counterpart, 3D masked autoencoding directly reconstructs spatial coordinates, making it inherently susceptible to positional leakage. In this work, we identify that the decoder in existing 3D MAE frameworks tends to over-rely on positional information, which weakens semantic representation learning and leads to suboptimal feature quality. To address this issue, we propose MPL-MAE, a masked point learning framework that mitigates positional over-reliance while enhancing the utilization of encoder features. Specifically, we introduce a recalibrated positional embedding module that suppresses metric-dominant coordinate signals while preserving geometric topology, together with a gated positional interface module that dynamically regulates positional injection during reconstruction. These designs promote a more balanced interaction between spatial priors and semantic features, yielding robust and informative representations. Extensive experiments across downstream tasks demonstrate that MPL-MAE consistently achieves competitive performance, validating its effectiveness.

Generating realistic, controllable, and temporally coherent urban environments is a critical yet unresolved challenge in the autonomous driving community. In this paper, we introduce InfiniVerse, a unified pipeline for long-range, 2D-3D-aligned, and controllable synthesis of dynamic urban scenes from a single frame. In practice, our approach first reconstructs a 3D occupancy representation from the input multi-view frame. This representation serves as a foundation for autoregressive scene extension along arbitrary trajectories. Subsequently, a video diffusion model translates the coarse occupancy grid into realistic, spatiotemporally consistent video sequences. Moreover, we propose a hierarchical sketch-and-refine paradigm, in which the generated videos are re-projected as image-conditioned feedback to enhance the 3D occupancy representation, establishing cross-modal alignment and mutual enhancement between the visual and spatial domains. Extensive evaluations on the Waymo Open Dataset and nuScenes demonstrate that InfiniVerse achieves state-of-the-art performance, with a FID of 6.4 and FVD of 67.97, significantly outperforming existing benchmarks in both duration and stability.
