Dynamic scene reconstruction from monocular video remains a fundamental challenge in computer vision. Existing feed-forward methods predict 3D Gaussians pixel-wise for each frame, suffering from duplicated Gaussians and view-dependent biases that hinder effective learning of scene motion. We present C4G, a feed-forward 4D reconstruction framework built upon a compact set of timestamp-conditioned learnable Gaussian query tokens. Each token aggregates corresponding features across the full temporal context and decodes a 3D Gaussian whose position is modulated by the target timestamp, enabling globally coherent motion modeling without per-scene optimization. To capture fine-grained details, we further introduce a video diffusion model-based rendering enhancement module. Since our framework effectively aggregates features into Gaussians, we extend this capability to feature lifting, producing a 4D feature field that supports point tracking and dynamic scene understanding. C4G achieves strong novel-view synthesis performance using significantly fewer Gaussians and without requiring camera poses, while exhibiting stronger motion modeling and robustness to large temporal gaps.

Reconstructing and understanding 3D scenes from unposed sparse views in a feed-forward manner remains as a challenging task in 3D computer vision. Recent approaches use per-pixel 3D Gaussian Splatting for reconstruction, followed by a 2D-to-3D feature lifting stage for scene understanding. However, they generate excessive redundant Gaussians, causing high memory overhead and sub-optimal multi-view feature aggregation, leading to degraded novel view synthesis and scene understanding performance. We propose C3G, a novel feed-forward framework that estimates compact 3D Gaussians only at essential spatial locations, minimizing redundancy while enabling effective feature lifting. We introduce learnable tokens that aggregate multi-view features through self-attention to guide Gaussian generation, ensuring each Gaussian integrates relevant visual features across views. We then exploit the learned attention patterns for Gaussian decoding to efficiently lift features. Extensive experiments on pose-free novel view synthesis, 3D open-vocabulary segmentation, and view-invariant feature aggregation demonstrate our approach's effectiveness. Results show that a compact yet geometrically meaningful representation is sufficient for high-quality scene reconstruction and understanding, achieving superior memory efficiency and feature fidelity compared to existing methods.

Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) integrate image understanding and generation within a single architecture, yet how the two tasks interact remains understudied. We investigate $\boldsymbol{\mathsf{transferability}}$ in UMMs: whether training a capability on one task improves the same capability on the other without explicit supervision. Through controlled experiments, we empirically find that transferability depends on architecture-models with fully shared transformer backbone and a unified visual encoder exhibit consistent cross-task transfer, while loosely coupled designs show little or none. Leveraging this transferability, we propose a practical training strategy. The most straightforward way to improve a target generative capability (e.g., counting) is to fine-tune generation directly, but this can degrade visual quality due to distribution shift. Instead, we train the corresponding understanding task and let it transfer into generation, which improves capability-specific generative performance while minimizing distribution shift. We validate this across three capabilities-counting, spatial relation, and text recognition/generation-showing that cross-task transferability can be systematically exploited in UMMs.

How can we effectively and efficiently learn node representations in signed bipartite graphs? A signed bipartite graph is a graph consisting of two nodes sets where nodes of different types are positively or negative connected, and it has been extensively used to model various real-world relationships such as e-commerce, etc. To analyze such a graph, previous studies have focused on designing methods for learning node representations using graph neural networks. In particular, these methods insert edges between nodes of the same type based on balance theory, enabling them to leverage augmented structures in their learning. However, the existing methods rely on a naive message passing design, which is prone to over-smoothing and susceptible to noisy interactions in real-world graphs. Furthermore, they suffer from computational inefficiency due to their heavy design and the significant increase in the number of added edges. In this paper, we propose ELISE, an effective and lightweight GNN-based approach for learning signed bipartite graphs. We first extend personalized propagation to a signed bipartite graph, incorporating signed edges during message passing. This extension adheres to balance theory without introducing additional edges, mitigating the over-smoothing issue and enhancing representation power. We then jointly learn node embeddings on a low-rank approximation of the signed bipartite graph, which reduces potential noise and emphasizes its global structure, further improving expressiveness without significant loss of efficiency. We encapsulate these ideas into ELISE, designing it to be lightweight, unlike the previous methods that add too many edges and cause inefficiency. Through extensive experiments on real-world signed bipartite graphs, we demonstrate that ELISE outperforms its competitors for predicting link signs while providing faster training and inference time.
