Off-Distribution Voices: Fanfiction Subgenres as Universal Vernacular Jailbreaks for Aligned LLMs

Zhongze Luo, Ruihe Shi, Zhenshuai Yin et al.

Existing jailbreaks against aligned LLMs are discrete artifacts whose surface forms are easy to fingerprint and patch. We argue that the real failure mode is not any specific prompt, but an entire register of natural human writing that safety training has under-covered. Building on this insight, we introduce the first jailbreak family that uses real fanfiction subgenres as universal attack carriers: a creative-writing meta is conditioned on passages from one of twelve Archive of Our Own (AO3) subgenres, and the harmful behavior is embedded as the climax of the resulting scene. The construction requires no attacker LLM and no per-target adaptation. On eight aligned LLMs over the union of HarmBench and JailbreakBench, this attack lifts mean ASR from 0.278 to 0.731 under a four-judge ensemble; a factorial decomposition shows the gain is carried by register rather than length or structure. Two active defences widen rather than narrow the vernacular-to-baseline ratio, indicating that template-targeting defences merely steer attackers toward register-based attacks like ours. We also propose SAGA-A4, a static four-turn extension that attains mean ASR 0.924, substantially exceeding three existing multi-turn methods.

1st Solution Places for CVPR 2023 UG$^2$+ Challenge Track 2.2-Coded Target Restoration through Atmospheric Turbulence

Shengqi Xu, Shuning Cao, Haoyue Liu et al.

In this technical report, we briefly introduce the solution of our team VIELab-HUST for coded target restoration through atmospheric turbulence in CVPR 2023 UG$^2$+ Track 2.2. In this task, we propose an efficient multi-stage framework to restore a high quality image from distorted frames. Specifically, each distorted frame is initially aligned using image registration to suppress geometric distortion. We subsequently select the sharpest set of registered frames by employing a frame selection approach based on image sharpness, and average them to produce an image that is largely free of geometric distortion, albeit with blurriness. A learning-based deblurring method is then applied to remove the residual blur in the averaged image. Finally, post-processing techniques are utilized to further enhance the quality of the output image. Our framework is capable of handling different kinds of coded target dataset provided in the final testing phase, and ranked 1st on the final leaderboard. Our code will be available at https://github.com/xsqhust/Turbulence_Removal.

NEC-Diff: Noise-Robust Event-RAW Complementary Diffusion for Seeing Motion in Extreme Darkness

Haoyue Liu, Jinghan Xu, Luxin Feng et al.

High-quality imaging of dynamic scenes in extremely low-light conditions is highly challenging. Photon scarcity induces severe noise and texture loss, causing significant image degradation. Event cameras, featuring a high dynamic range (120 dB) and high sensitivity to motion, serve as powerful complements to conventional cameras by offering crucial cues for preserving subtle textures. However, most existing approaches emphasize texture recovery from events, while paying little attention to image noise or the intrinsic noise of events themselves, which ultimately hinders accurate pixel reconstruction under photon-starved conditions. In this work, we propose NEC-Diff, a novel diffusion-based event-RAW hybrid imaging framework that extracts reliable information from heavily noisy signals to reconstruct fine scene structures. The framework is driven by two key insights: (1) combining the linear light-response property of RAW images with the brightness-change nature of events to establish a physics-driven constraint for robust dual-modal denoising; and (2) dynamically estimating the SNR of both modalities based on denoising results to guide adaptive feature fusion, thereby injecting reliable cues into the diffusion process for high-fidelity visual reconstruction. Furthermore, we construct the REAL (Raw and Event Acquired in Low-light) dataset which provides 47,800 pixel-aligned low-light RAW images, events, and high-quality references under 0.001-0.8 lux illumination. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of NEC-Diff under extreme darkness. The project are available at: https://github.com/jinghan-xu/NEC-Diff.

High-Quality and Efficient Turbulence Mitigation with Events

Xiaoran Zhang, Jian Ding, Yuxing Duan et al.

Turbulence mitigation (TM) is highly ill-posed due to the stochastic nature of atmospheric turbulence. Most methods rely on multiple frames recorded by conventional cameras to capture stable patterns in natural scenarios. However, they inevitably suffer from a trade-off between accuracy and efficiency: more frames enhance restoration at the cost of higher system latency and larger data overhead. Event cameras, equipped with microsecond temporal resolution and efficient sensing of dynamic changes, offer an opportunity to break the bottleneck. In this work, we present EHETM, a high-quality and efficient TM method inspired by the superiority of events to model motions in continuous sequences. We discover two key phenomena: (1) turbulence-induced events exhibit distinct polarity alternation correlated with sharp image gradients, providing structural cues for restoring scenes; and (2) dynamic objects form spatiotemporally coherent ``event tubes'' in contrast to irregular patterns within turbulent events, providing motion priors for disentangling objects from turbulence. Based on these insights, we design two complementary modules that respectively leverage polarity-weighted gradients for scene refinement and event-tube constraints for motion decoupling, achieving high-quality restoration with few frames. Furthermore, we construct two real-world event-frame turbulence datasets covering atmospheric and thermal cases. Experiments show that EHETM outperforms SOTA methods, especially under scenes with dynamic objects, while reducing data overhead and system latency by approximately 77.3% and 89.5%, respectively. Our code is available at: https://github.com/Xavier667/EHETM.

Learning Generalizable Tool-use Skills through Trajectory Generation

Carl Qi, Yilin Wu, Lifan Yu et al.

Autonomous systems that efficiently utilize tools can assist humans in completing many common tasks such as cooking and cleaning. However, current systems fall short of matching human-level of intelligence in terms of adapting to novel tools. Prior works based on affordance often make strong assumptions about the environments and cannot scale to more complex, contact-rich tasks. In this work, we tackle this challenge and explore how agents can learn to use previously unseen tools to manipulate deformable objects. We propose to learn a generative model of the tool-use trajectories as a sequence of tool point clouds, which generalizes to different tool shapes. Given any novel tool, we first generate a tool-use trajectory and then optimize the sequence of tool poses to align with the generated trajectory. We train a single model on four different challenging deformable object manipulation tasks, using demonstration data from only one tool per task. The model generalizes to various novel tools, significantly outperforming baselines. We further test our trained policy in the real world with unseen tools, where it achieves the performance comparable to human. Additional materials can be found on our project website: https://sites.google.com/view/toolgen.

CoSEC: A Coaxial Stereo Event Camera Dataset for Autonomous Driving

Shihan Peng, Hanyu Zhou, Hao Dong et al.

Conventional frame camera is the mainstream sensor of the autonomous driving scene perception, while it is limited in adverse conditions, such as low light. Event camera with high dynamic range has been applied in assisting frame camera for the multimodal fusion, which relies heavily on the pixel-level spatial alignment between various modalities. Typically, existing multimodal datasets mainly place event and frame cameras in parallel and directly align them spatially via warping operation. However, this parallel strategy is less effective for multimodal fusion, since the large disparity exacerbates spatial misalignment due to the large event-frame baseline. We argue that baseline minimization can reduce alignment error between event and frame cameras. In this work, we introduce hybrid coaxial event-frame devices to build the multimodal system, and propose a coaxial stereo event camera (CoSEC) dataset for autonomous driving. As for the multimodal system, we first utilize the microcontroller to achieve time synchronization, and then spatially calibrate different sensors, where we perform intra- and inter-calibration of stereo coaxial devices. As for the multimodal dataset, we filter LiDAR point clouds to generate depth and optical flow labels using reference depth, which is further improved by fusing aligned event and frame data in nighttime conditions. With the help of the coaxial device, the proposed dataset can promote the all-day pixel-level multimodal fusion. Moreover, we also conduct experiments to demonstrate that the proposed dataset can improve the performance and generalization of the multimodal fusion.

Seeing Motion at Nighttime with an Event Camera

Haoyue Liu, Shihan Peng, Lin Zhu et al.

We focus on a very challenging task: imaging at nighttime dynamic scenes. Most previous methods rely on the low-light enhancement of a conventional RGB camera. However, they would inevitably face a dilemma between the long exposure time of nighttime and the motion blur of dynamic scenes. Event cameras react to dynamic changes with higher temporal resolution (microsecond) and higher dynamic range (120dB), offering an alternative solution. In this work, we present a novel nighttime dynamic imaging method with an event camera. Specifically, we discover that the event at nighttime exhibits temporal trailing characteristics and spatial non-stationary distribution. Consequently, we propose a nighttime event reconstruction network (NER-Net) which mainly includes a learnable event timestamps calibration module (LETC) to align the temporal trailing events and a non-uniform illumination aware module (NIAM) to stabilize the spatiotemporal distribution of events. Moreover, we construct a paired real low-light event dataset (RLED) through a co-axial imaging system, including 64,200 spatially and temporally aligned image GTs and low-light events. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of visual quality and generalization ability on real-world nighttime datasets.

Select Smarter, Not More: Prompt-Aware Evaluation Scheduling with Submodular Guarantees

Xiaoyu Ma, Yiwen Li, Haoyue Liu et al.

Automatic prompt optimization (APO) hinges on the quality of its evaluation signal, yet scoring every prompt candidate on the full training set is prohibitively expensive. Existing methods either fix a single evaluation subset before optimization begins (principled but prompt-agnostic) or adapt it heuristically during optimization (flexible but unstable and lacking formal guarantees). We observe that APO naturally maps to an online adaptive testing problem: prompts are examinees, training examples are test items, and the scheduler should select items that best discriminate among the strongest candidates. This insight motivates Prompt-Aware Online Evaluation Scheduling (POES), which integrates an IRT-based discrimination utility, a facility-location coverage term, and switching-cost-aware warm-start swaps into a unified objective that is provably monotone submodular, yielding a (1-1/e) greedy guarantee for cold starts and bounded drift for warm-start updates. An adaptive controller modulates the exploration-exploitation balance based on optimization progress. Across 36 tasks spanning three benchmark families, POES achieves the highest overall average accuracy (6.2 percent improvement over the best baseline) with negligible token overhead (approximately 4 percent) at the same evaluation budget. Moreover, principled selection at k = 20 examples matches or exceeds the performance of naive evaluation at k = 30-50, reducing token consumption by 35-60 percent, showing that selecting smarter is more effective than selecting more. Our results demonstrate that evaluation scheduling is a first-class component of APO, not an implementation detail.

PIDP-Attack: Combining Prompt Injection with Database Poisoning Attacks on Retrieval-Augmented Generation Systems

Haozhen Wang, Haoyue Liu, Jionghao Zhu et al.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across a wide range of applications. However, their practical deployment is often hindered by issues such as outdated knowledge and the tendency to generate hallucinations. To address these limitations, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems have been introduced, enhancing LLMs with external, up-to-date knowledge sources. Despite their advantages, RAG systems remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks, with data poisoning emerging as a prominent threat. Existing poisoning-based attacks typically require prior knowledge of the user's specific queries, limiting their flexibility and real-world applicability. In this work, we propose PIDP-Attack, a novel compound attack that integrates prompt injection with database poisoning in RAG. By appending malicious characters to queries at inference time and injecting a limited number of poisoned passages into the retrieval database, our method can effectively manipulate LLM response to arbitrary query without prior knowledge of the user's actual query. Experimental evaluations across three benchmark datasets (Natural Questions, HotpotQA, MS-MARCO) and eight LLMs demonstrate that PIDP-Attack consistently outperforms the original PoisonedRAG. Specifically, our method improves attack success rates by 4% to 16% on open-domain QA tasks while maintaining high retrieval precision, proving that the compound attack strategy is both necessary and highly effective.

Adapting Depth Anything to Adverse Imaging Conditions with Events

Shihan Peng, Yuyang Xiong, Hanyu Zhou et al.

Robust depth estimation under dynamic and adverse lighting conditions is essential for robotic systems. Currently, depth foundation models, such as Depth Anything, achieve great success in ideal scenes but remain challenging under adverse imaging conditions such as extreme illumination and motion blur. These degradations corrupt the visual signals of frame cameras, weakening the discriminative features of frame-based depths across the spatial and temporal dimensions. Typically, existing approaches incorporate event cameras to leverage their high dynamic range and temporal resolution, aiming to compensate for corrupted frame features. However, such specialized fusion models are predominantly trained from scratch on domain-specific datasets, thereby failing to inherit the open-world knowledge and robust generalization inherent to foundation models. In this work, we propose ADAE, an event-guided spatiotemporal fusion framework for Depth Anything in degraded scenes. Our design is guided by two key insights: 1) Entropy-Aware Spatial Fusion. We adaptively merge frame-based and event-based features using an information entropy strategy to indicate illumination-induced degradation. 2) Motion-Guided Temporal Correction. We resort to the event-based motion cue to recalibrate ambiguous features in blurred regions. Under our unified framework, the two components are complementary to each other and jointly enhance Depth Anything under adverse imaging conditions. Extensive experiments have been performed to verify the superiority of the proposed method. Our code will be released upon acceptance.

Shape of Thought: Progressive Object Assembly via Visual Chain-of-Thought

Yu Huo, Siyu Zhang, Kun Zeng et al.

Multimodal models for text-to-image generation have achieved strong visual fidelity, yet they remain brittle under compositional structural constraints-notably generative numeracy, attribute binding, and part-level relations. To address these challenges, we propose Shape-of-Thought (SoT), a visual CoT framework that enables progressive shape assembly via coherent 2D projections without external engines at inference time. SoT trains a unified multimodal autoregressive model to generate interleaved textual plans and rendered intermediate states, helping the model capture shape-assembly logic without producing explicit geometric representations. To support this paradigm, we introduce SoT-26K, a large-scale dataset of grounded assembly traces derived from part-based CAD hierarchies, and T2S-CompBench, a benchmark for evaluating structural integrity and trace faithfulness. Fine-tuning on SoT-26K achieves 88.4% on component numeracy and 84.8% on structural topology, outperforming text-only baselines by around 20%. SoT establishes a new paradigm for transparent, process-supervised compositional generation. The code is available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/16FE/. The SoT-26K dataset will be released upon acceptance.

Group of Skills: Group-Structured Skill Retrieval for Agent Skill Libraries

Kun Zeng, Yu Huo, Siyu Zhang et al.

Skill-augmented agents increasingly rely on large reusable skill libraries, but retrieving relevant skills is not the same as presenting usable context. Existing methods typically return atomic skills or dependency-aware bundles whose internal roles remain implicit, leaving the agent to infer the execution entry point, support skills, visible requirements, and failure-avoidance guidance. We introduce Group of Skills (GoSkills), an inference-time group-structured retrieval method that changes the agent-facing retrieval object from a flat skill list to a compact, role-labeled execution context. GoSkills builds anchor-centered skill groups from a typed skill graph, expands support groups through a group graph, bottlenecks the selected group plan into a bounded set of atomic skill payloads, and renders a fixed execution contract with Start, Support, Check, and Avoid fields, without changing the downstream agent, skill payloads, or execution environment. Experiments on SkillsBench and ALFWorld show that GoSkills preserves visible-requirement coverage under a small skill budget, improves over flat skill-access baselines, and often improves reward and agent-only runtime relative to structural retrieval references.

Recommend-to-Match with Random Supply Rejections: Formulation, Approximation, and Analysis

Haoyue Liu, Sheng Liu, Mingyao Qi

Matching demand with supply in crowdsourcing logistics platforms must contend with uncertain worker participation. Motivated by this challenge, we study a two-stage "recommend-to-match" problem under stochastic supplier rejections, where each demand is initially recommended to multiple potential suppliers prior to final matching decisions. We formulate a stochastic optimization model that explicitly captures uncertain supplier acceptance behavior. For the special case with homogeneous and independent acceptance responses, an exact mixed-integer linear program and LP formulations are achievable, but the general problem does not admit an efficient formulation. Particularly, our analysis reveals that deterministic linear approximation methods can perform arbitrarily poorly in such settings. To overcome this limitation, we propose a new approximation approach based on a convex relaxation of the original problem that admits a mixed-integer exponential cone program (MIECP) formulation. We analyze the structural properties of this approximation and establish its parametric performance guarantees. We also characterize conditions under which it can dominate a deterministic approximation. Extensive experiments on synthetic data and real-world freight data validate the effectiveness of our approach. Our MIECP-based solution achieves near-optimal matching performance while reducing computation time by over 90% compared to benchmark methods, which makes it particularly promising for large-scale matching problems.

Exploring the Common Appearance-Boundary Adaptation for Nighttime Optical Flow

Hanyu Zhou, Yi Chang, Haoyue Liu et al.

We investigate a challenging task of nighttime optical flow, which suffers from weakened texture and amplified noise. These degradations weaken discriminative visual features, thus causing invalid motion feature matching. Typically, existing methods employ domain adaptation to transfer knowledge from auxiliary domain to nighttime domain in either input visual space or output motion space. However, this direct adaptation is ineffective, since there exists a large domain gap due to the intrinsic heterogeneous nature of the feature representations between auxiliary and nighttime domains. To overcome this issue, we explore a common-latent space as the intermediate bridge to reinforce the feature alignment between auxiliary and nighttime domains. In this work, we exploit two auxiliary daytime and event domains, and propose a novel common appearance-boundary adaptation framework for nighttime optical flow. In appearance adaptation, we employ the intrinsic image decomposition to embed the auxiliary daytime image and the nighttime image into a reflectance-aligned common space. We discover that motion distributions of the two reflectance maps are very similar, benefiting us to consistently transfer motion appearance knowledge from daytime to nighttime domain. In boundary adaptation, we theoretically derive the motion correlation formula between nighttime image and accumulated events within a spatiotemporal gradient-aligned common space. We figure out that the correlation of the two spatiotemporal gradient maps shares significant discrepancy, benefitting us to contrastively transfer boundary knowledge from event to nighttime domain. Moreover, appearance adaptation and boundary adaptation are complementary to each other, since they could jointly transfer global motion and local boundary knowledge to the nighttime domain.

Adaptive Prompt Structure Factorization: A Framework for Self-Discovering and Optimizing Compositional Prompt Programs

Haoyue Liu, Zhichao Wang, Yongxin Guo et al.

Automated prompt optimization is crucial for eliciting reliable reasoning from large language models (LLMs), yet most API-only prompt optimizers iteratively edit monolithic prompts, coupling components and obscuring credit assignment, limiting controllability, and wasting tokens. We propose Adaptive Prompt Structure Factorization (aPSF), an API-only framework (prompt-in/text-out; no access to model internals) that uses an Architect model to discover task-specific prompt structures as semantic factors. aPSF then performs interventional, single-factor updates: interventional factor-level scoring estimates each factor's marginal contribution via validation-performance changes, and error-guided factor selection routes updates to the current dominant failure source for more sample-efficient optimization. Across multiple advanced reasoning benchmarks, aPSF outperforms strong baselines including principle-aware optimizers, improving accuracy by up to +2.16 percentage points on average, and reduces optimization cost by 45--87% tokens on MultiArith while reaching peak validation in 1 step.

TimeTracker: Event-based Continuous Point Tracking for Video Frame Interpolation with Non-linear Motion

Haoyue Liu, Jinghan Xu, Yi Chang et al.

Video frame interpolation (VFI) that leverages the bio-inspired event cameras as guidance has recently shown better performance and memory efficiency than the frame-based methods, thanks to the event cameras' advantages, such as high temporal resolution. A hurdle for event-based VFI is how to effectively deal with non-linear motion, caused by the dynamic changes in motion direction and speed within the scene. Existing methods either use events to estimate sparse optical flow or fuse events with image features to estimate dense optical flow. Unfortunately, motion errors often degrade the VFI quality as the continuous motion cues from events do not align with the dense spatial information of images in the temporal dimension. In this paper, we find that object motion is continuous in space, tracking local regions over continuous time enables more accurate identification of spatiotemporal feature correlations. In light of this, we propose a novel continuous point tracking-based VFI framework, named TimeTracker. Specifically, we first design a Scene-Aware Region Segmentation (SARS) module to divide the scene into similar patches. Then, a Continuous Trajectory guided Motion Estimation (CTME) module is proposed to track the continuous motion trajectory of each patch through events. Finally, intermediate frames at any given time are generated through global motion optimization and frame refinement. Moreover, we collect a real-world dataset that features fast non-linear motion. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms prior arts in both motion estimation and frame interpolation quality.

Cog2Gen3D: Sculpturing 3D Semantic-Geometric Cognition for 3D Generation

Haonan Wang, Hanyu Zhou, Haoyue Liu et al.

Generative models have achieved success in producing semantically plausible 2D images, but it remains challenging in 3D generation due to the absence of spatial geometry constraints. Typically, existing methods utilize geometric features as conditions to enhance spatial awareness. However, these methods can only model relative relationships and are prone to scale inconsistency of absolute geometry. Thus, we argue that semantic information and absolute geometry empower 3D cognition, thereby enabling controllable 3D generation for the physical world. In this work, we propose Cog2Gen3D, a 3D cognition-guided diffusion framework for 3D generation. Our model is guided by three key designs: 1) Cognitive Feature Embeddings. We encode different modalities into semantic and geometric representations and further extract logical representations. 2) 3D Latent Cognition Graph. We structure different representations into dual-stream semantic-geometric graphs and fuse them via common-based cross-attention to obtain a 3D cognition graph. 3) Cognition-Guided Latent Diffusion. We leverage the fused 3D cognition graph as the condition to guide the latent diffusion process for 3D Gaussian generation. Under this unified framework, the 3D cognition graph ensures the physical plausibility and structural rationality of 3D generation. Moreover, we construct a validation subset based on the Marble World Labs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our Cog2Gen3D significantly outperforms existing methods in both semantic fidelity and geometric plausibility.

Bridge Frame and Event: Common Spatiotemporal Fusion for High-Dynamic Scene Optical Flow

Hanyu Zhou, Haonan Wang, Haoyue Liu et al.

High-dynamic scene optical flow is a challenging task, which suffers spatial blur and temporal discontinuous motion due to large displacement in frame imaging, thus deteriorating the spatiotemporal feature of optical flow. Typically, existing methods mainly introduce event camera to directly fuse the spatiotemporal features between the two modalities. However, this direct fusion is ineffective, since there exists a large gap due to the heterogeneous data representation between frame and event modalities. To address this issue, we explore a common-latent space as an intermediate bridge to mitigate the modality gap. In this work, we propose a novel common spatiotemporal fusion between frame and event modalities for high-dynamic scene optical flow, including visual boundary localization and motion correlation fusion. Specifically, in visual boundary localization, we figure out that frame and event share the similar spatiotemporal gradients, whose similarity distribution is consistent with the extracted boundary distribution. This motivates us to design the common spatiotemporal gradient to constrain the reference boundary localization. In motion correlation fusion, we discover that the frame-based motion possesses spatially dense but temporally discontinuous correlation, while the event-based motion has spatially sparse but temporally continuous correlation. This inspires us to use the reference boundary to guide the complementary motion knowledge fusion between the two modalities. Moreover, common spatiotemporal fusion can not only relieve the cross-modal feature discrepancy, but also make the fusion process interpretable for dense and continuous optical flow. Extensive experiments have been performed to verify the superiority of the proposed method.

4D-VGGT: A General Foundation Model with SpatioTemporal Awareness for Dynamic Scene Geometry Estimation

Haonan Wang, Hanyu Zhou, Haoyue Liu et al.

We investigate a challenging task of dynamic scene geometry estimation, which requires representing both spatial and temporal features. Typically, existing methods align the two features into a unified latent space to model scene geometry. However, this unified paradigm suffers from potential mismatched representation due to the heterogeneous nature between spatial and temporal features. In this work, we propose 4D-VGGT, a general foundation model with divide-and-conquer spatiotemporal representation for dynamic scene geometry. Our model is divided into three aspects: 1) Multi-setting input. We design an adaptive visual grid that supports input sequences with arbitrary numbers of views and time steps. 2) Multi-level representation. We propose a cross-view global fusion for spatial representation and a cross-time local fusion for temporal representation. 3) Multi-task prediction. We append multiple task-specific heads to spatiotemporal representations, enabling a comprehensive visual geometry estimation for dynamic scenes. Under this unified framework, these components enhance the feature discriminability and application universality of our model for dynamic scenes. In addition, we integrate multiple geometry datasets to train our model and conduct extensive experiments to verify the effectiveness of our method across various tasks on multiple dynamic scene geometry benchmarks.

Injecting Frame-Event Complementary Fusion into Diffusion for Optical Flow in Challenging Scenes

Haonan Wang, Hanyu Zhou, Haoyue Liu et al.

Optical flow estimation has achieved promising results in conventional scenes but faces challenges in high-speed and low-light scenes, which suffer from motion blur and insufficient illumination. These conditions lead to weakened texture and amplified noise and deteriorate the appearance saturation and boundary completeness of frame cameras, which are necessary for motion feature matching. In degraded scenes, the frame camera provides dense appearance saturation but sparse boundary completeness due to its long imaging time and low dynamic range. In contrast, the event camera offers sparse appearance saturation, while its short imaging time and high dynamic range gives rise to dense boundary completeness. Traditionally, existing methods utilize feature fusion or domain adaptation to introduce event to improve boundary completeness. However, the appearance features are still deteriorated, which severely affects the mostly adopted discriminative models that learn the mapping from visual features to motion fields and generative models that generate motion fields based on given visual features. So we introduce diffusion models that learn the mapping from noising flow to clear flow, which is not affected by the deteriorated visual features. Therefore, we propose a novel optical flow estimation framework Diff-ABFlow based on diffusion models with frame-event appearance-boundary fusion.

STD-GS: Exploring Frame-Event Interaction for SpatioTemporal-Disentangled Gaussian Splatting to Reconstruct High-Dynamic Scene

Hanyu Zhou, Haonan Wang, Haoyue Liu et al.

High-dynamic scene reconstruction aims to represent static background with rigid spatial features and dynamic objects with deformed continuous spatiotemporal features. Typically, existing methods adopt unified representation model (e.g., Gaussian) to directly match the spatiotemporal features of dynamic scene from frame camera. However, this unified paradigm fails in the potential discontinuous temporal features of objects due to frame imaging and the heterogeneous spatial features between background and objects. To address this issue, we disentangle the spatiotemporal features into various latent representations to alleviate the spatiotemporal mismatching between background and objects. In this work, we introduce event camera to compensate for frame camera, and propose a spatiotemporal-disentangled Gaussian splatting framework for high-dynamic scene reconstruction. As for dynamic scene, we figure out that background and objects have appearance discrepancy in frame-based spatial features and motion discrepancy in event-based temporal features, which motivates us to distinguish the spatiotemporal features between background and objects via clustering. As for dynamic object, we discover that Gaussian representations and event data share the consistent spatiotemporal characteristic, which could serve as a prior to guide the spatiotemporal disentanglement of object Gaussians. Within Gaussian splatting framework, the cumulative scene-object disentanglement can improve the spatiotemporal discrimination between background and objects to render the time-continuous dynamic scene. Extensive experiments have been performed to verify the superiority of the proposed method.

A Deep Learning Inference Scheme Based on Pipelined Matrix Multiplication Acceleration Design and Non-uniform Quantization

Yuyang Zhang, Dik Hin Leung, Min Guo et al.

Matrix multiplication is the bedrock in Deep Learning inference application. When it comes to hardware acceleration on edge computing devices, matrix multiplication often takes up a great majority of the time. To achieve better performance in edge computing, we introduce a low-power Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) accelerator based on a pipelined matrix multiplication scheme and a nonuniform quantization methodology. The implementation is running on Field-programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices and tested its performance on handwritten digit classification and Q-learning tasks. Results show that our method can achieve better performance with fewer power consumption.
