Light4D: Training-Free Extreme Viewpoint 4D Video RelightingZhenghuang Wu, Kang Chen, Zeyu Zhang et al.
Recent advances in diffusion-based generative models have established a new paradigm for image and video relighting. However, extending these capabilities to 4D relighting remains challenging, due primarily to the scarcity of paired 4D relighting training data and the difficulty of maintaining temporal consistency across extreme viewpoints. In this work, we propose Light4D, a novel training-free framework designed to synthesize consistent 4D videos under target illumination, even under extreme viewpoint changes. First, we introduce Disentangled Flow Guidance, a time-aware strategy that effectively injects lighting control into the latent space while preserving geometric integrity. Second, to reinforce temporal consistency, we develop Temporal Consistent Attention within the IC-Light architecture and further incorporate deterministic regularization to eliminate appearance flickering. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves competitive performance in temporal consistency and lighting fidelity, robustly handling camera rotations from -90 to 90.

Physical activities enable scalable foundation modelling for broad-spectrum health predictionZhenghuang Wu, Yuyao Zhu, Songlin Xu
Wearable and mobile sensing technologies have demonstrated strong potential for health inference; however, most sensor models are designed for specific disease types, limiting their transferability across different health risks. Wearable foundation models offer a more generalizable approach in diverse health risk types. Nevertheless, most existing methods rely on high-frequency raw sensor data, raising concerns about privacy, computational overhead, and scalability across devices and populations. In this paper, we propose StepFM, a foundation model built solely on step counter data for broad-spectrum health prediction. Leveraging the ubiquity and low-dimensional nature of step data, StepFM provides a practical, privacy-preserving, and computation-efficient alternative to traditional sensor-based models. We design a scalable pre-training framework that captures temporal dynamics and behavioral patterns from large-scale step sequences, enabling transfer across more than 20 health risk prediction tasks spanning diverse devices, new regions, and novel disease types. Extensive experiments demonstrate that StepFM achieves strong performance compared to existing methods while maintaining robustness across heterogeneous settings. Furthermore, our analysis reveals interpretable and generalizable relationships between physical activity patterns and various health risks, offering new insights into activity-based health modeling. Our work establishes step-based sensing as a viable foundation for scalable and real-world health monitoring.
