Autoregressive models for 3D mesh generation suffer from a fundamental limitation: they flatten meshes into long vertex-coordinate sequences. This results in prohibitive computational costs, hindering the efficient synthesis of high-fidelity geometry. We argue this bottleneck stems from operating at
We introduce GeoSAM2, a prompt-controllable framework for 3D part segmentation that casts the task as multi-view 2D mask prediction. Given a textureless object, we render normal and point maps from predefined viewpoints and accept simple 2D prompts--clicks or boxes--to guide part selection. These pr
Generating high-fidelity, seamless textures directly on 3D surfaces, a process we term 3D-native texturing, is a fundamental open challenge, promising to overcome the limitations of traditional UV-based and multi-view projection methods. While promising, existing native approaches are bottlenecked b
This paper introduces MIDI, a novel paradigm for compositional 3D scene generation from a single image. Unlike existing methods that rely on reconstruction or retrieval techniques or recent approaches that employ multi-stage object-by-object generation, MIDI extends pre-trained image-to-3D object ge…
Quad meshes play a crucial role in computer graphics applications, yet automatically generating high-quality quad meshes remains challenging. Traditional quadrangulation approaches rely on local geometric features and manual constraints, often producing suboptimal mesh layouts that fail to capture g…
Creating high-fidelity 3D meshes with arbitrary topology, including open surfaces and complex interiors, remains a significant challenge.

Recent advancements in 3D reconstruction from single images have been driven by the evolution of generative models.

Knowledge distillation is an effective model compression method to improve the performance of a lightweight student model by transferring the knowledge of a well-performed teacher model, which has been widely adopted in many computer vision tasks, including face recognition (FR). The current FR dist…
Adversarial training (AT) methods are effective against adversarial attacks, yet they introduce severe disparity of accuracy and robustness between different classes, known as the robust fairness problem. Previously proposed Fair Robust Learning (FRL) adaptively reweights different classes to improv…
Existing dialogue modeling methods have achieved promising performance on various dialogue tasks with the aid of Transformer and the large-scale pre-trained language models. However, some recent studies revealed that the context representations produced by these methods suffer the problem of anisotr…
Meetings typically involve multiple participants and lengthy conversations, resulting in redundant and trivial content. To overcome these challenges, we propose a two-step framework, Reconstruct before Summarize (RbS), for effective and efficient meeting summarization. RbS first leverages a self-sup…
Compared to news and chat summarization, the development of meeting summarization is hugely decelerated by the limited data.

Within the field of face recognition (FR), it is widely accepted that the key objective is to optimize the entire feature space in the training process and acquire robust feature representations. However, most real-world FR systems tend to operate at a pre-defined False Accept Rate (FAR), and the co…

The Mean-Teacher (MT) scheme is widely adopted in semi-supervised object detection (SSOD). In MT, sparse pseudo labels, offered by the final predictions of the teacher (e.g., after Non Maximum Suppression (NMS) post-processing), are adopted for the dense supervision for the student via hand-crafted…
