Deep generative models offer a powerful alternative to conventional channel estimation by learning complex channel distributions. By integrating the rich environmental information available in modern sensing-aided networks, this paper proposes MultiCE-Flow, a multimodal channel estimation framework based on flow matching and diffusion transformer (DiT). We design a specialized multimodal perception module that fuses LiDAR, camera, and location data into a semantic condition, while treating sparse pilots as a structural condition. These conditions guide a DiT backbone to reconstruct high-fidelity channels. Unlike standard diffusion models, we employ flow matching to learn a linear trajectory from noise to data, enabling efficient one-step sampling. By leveraging environmental semantics, our method mitigates the ill-posed nature of estimation with sparse pilots. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MultiCE-Flow consistently outperforms traditional baselines and existing generative models. Notably, it exhibits superior robustness to out-of-distribution scenarios and varying pilot densities, making it suitable for environment-aware communication systems.

Content moderation remains a critical yet challenging task for large-scale user-generated video platforms, especially in livestreaming environments where moderation must be timely, multimodal, and robust to evolving forms of unwanted content. We present a hybrid moderation framework deployed at production scale that combines supervised classification for known violations with reference-based similarity matching for novel or subtle cases. This hybrid design enables robust detection of both explicit violations and novel edge cases that evade traditional classifiers. Multimodal inputs (text, audio, visual) are processed through both pipelines, with a multimodal large language model (MLLM) distilling knowledge into each to boost accuracy while keeping inference lightweight. In production, the classification pipeline achieves 67% recall at 80% precision, and the similarity pipeline achieves 76% recall at 80% precision. Large-scale A/B tests show a 6-8% reduction in user views of unwanted livestreams}. These results demonstrate a scalable and adaptable approach to multimodal content governance, capable of addressing both explicit violations and emerging adversarial behaviors.
