DGGT: Feedforward 4D Reconstruction of Dynamic Driving Scenes using Unposed Images

Xiaoxue Chen, Ziyi Xiong, Yuantao Chen et al.

Autonomous driving needs fast, scalable 4D reconstruction and re-simulation for training and evaluation, yet most methods for dynamic driving scenes still rely on per-scene optimization, known camera calibration, or short frame windows, making them slow and impractical. We revisit this problem from a feedforward perspective and introduce \textbf{Driving Gaussian Grounded Transformer (DGGT)}, a unified framework for pose-free dynamic scene reconstruction. We note that the existing formulations, treating camera pose as a required input, limit flexibility and scalability. Instead, we reformulate pose as an output of the model, enabling reconstruction directly from sparse, unposed images and supporting an arbitrary number of views for long sequences. Our approach jointly predicts per-frame 3D Gaussian maps and camera parameters, disentangles dynamics with a lightweight dynamic head, and preserves temporal consistency with a lifespan head that modulates visibility over time. A diffusion-based rendering refinement further reduces motion/interpolation artifacts and improves novel-view quality under sparse inputs. The result is a single-pass, pose-free algorithm that achieves state-of-the-art performance and speed. Trained and evaluated on large-scale driving benchmarks (Waymo, nuScenes, Argoverse2), our method outperforms prior work both when trained on each dataset and in zero-shot transfer across datasets, and it scales well as the number of input frames increases.

The Efficacy of $L_1$ Regularization in Two-Layer Neural Networks

Gen Li, Yuantao Gu, Jie Ding

A crucial problem in neural networks is to select the most appropriate number of hidden neurons and obtain tight statistical risk bounds. In this work, we present a new perspective towards the bias-variance tradeoff in neural networks. As an alternative to selecting the number of neurons, we theoretically show that $L_1$ regularization can control the generalization error and sparsify the input dimension. In particular, with an appropriate $L_1$ regularization on the output layer, the network can produce a statistical risk that is near minimax optimal. Moreover, an appropriate $L_1$ regularization on the input layer leads to a risk bound that does not involve the input data dimension. Our analysis is based on a new amalgamation of dimension-based and norm-based complexity analysis to bound the generalization error. A consequent observation from our results is that an excessively large number of neurons do not necessarily inflate generalization errors under a suitable regularization.
