Eye tracking (ET) is a foundational technology for advanced AR/VR applications. However, training ET models for every new ET device is challenging: real data collection is costly and time-consuming, while existing synthetic data generation methods lack realism. To remove the need for additional data collection while maintaining data quality, we introduce a data-driven 3D prior that models the distribution of human eyes across diverse identities, gaze directions, and light settings. This model, which we coin GazePrior, then enables sparse-input 3D reconstruction of annotated data collected with previous ET devices, which can in turn be rendered from the cameras of any target ET device. Our approach synthesizes data with the realism, diversity and ground-truth accuracy of real data collection without its prohibitive costs. Our experiments demonstrate that ET models trained with our synthesized data outperform previous zero-shot methods, achieving higher accuracy and robustness.

Data-driven medical AI is traditionally formulated as a discriminative mapping from input $X$ to output $Y$ via a learned function $f$, which does not generalize well across heterogeneous data and modalities encountered in real-world clinical settings. In this work, we propose a fundamentally different, generative paradigm. We model the joint distribution $P(X,Y)$ using diffusion models and reframe inference as a test-time output optimization problem. By guiding the generative process to match observed inputs, our framework enables flexible, gradient-based conditioning at inference time without architectural changes or retraining, effectively supporting arbitrary and previously unseen combinations of observations. Extensive experiments demonstrate strong performance across standard and cross-modality medical image segmentation, few-shot segmentation with only 2 or 4 training samples, degraded-input segmentation, shape completion from sparse and partial observations, and zero-shot application to demonstrate generality. To support these evaluations, we curated and released a large-scale text-shape dataset derived from MedShapeNet. Our results highlight the versatility of generative joint modeling as a foundation for reusable, task-agnostic medical AI systems.

Reconstructing 3D clothed humans from monocular images and videos is a fundamental problem with applications in virtual try-on, avatar creation, and mixed reality. Despite significant progress in human body recovery, accurately reconstructing garment geometry, particularly for loose-fitting clothing, remains an open challenge. We propose a unified framework for high-fidelity 3D garment reconstruction from both single images and video sequences. Our approach combines Implicit Sewing Patterns (ISP) with a generative diffusion model to learn expressive garment shape priors in 2D UV space. Leveraging these priors, we introduce a mapping model that establishes correspondences between image pixels, UV pattern coordinates, and 3D geometry, enabling accurate and detailed garment reconstruction from single images. We further extend this formulation to dynamic reconstruction by introducing a spatio-temporal diffusion scheme with test-time guidance to enforce long-range temporal consistency. We also develop analytic projection-based constraints that preserve image-aligned geometry in visible regions while enforcing coherent completion in occluded areas over time. Although trained exclusively on synthetically simulated cloth data, our method generalizes well to real-world imagery and consistently outperforms existing approaches on both tight- and loose-fitting garments. The reconstructed garments preserve fine geometric detail while exhibiting realistic dynamic motion, supporting downstream applications such as texture editing, garment retargeting, and animation.
