Multi-relational graph clustering aims to uncover complex node interactions by leveraging multiple relational views, yet existing methods often suffer from two key limitations: they assume equal importance across views and decouple representation learning from clustering, both of which hinder overal
Despite strong single-turn performance, diffusion-based image compositing often struggles to preserve coherent spatial relations in pairwise or sequential edits, where subsequent insertions may overwrite previously generated content and disrupt physical consistency. We introduce PICS, a self-supervi…
In recent years, contrastive multi-view clustering has achieved remarkable performance improvements. However, existing methods still face two key challenges: (1) reliance on a predefined number of clusters k, which is often unknown in real-world scenarios; and (2) contrastive learning might cause re
Estimating the 3D poses of hands and objects from a single RGB image is a fundamental yet challenging problem, with broad applications in augmented reality and human-computer interaction. Existing methods largely rely on visual cues alone, often producing results that violate physical constraints su
Existing imitation learning methods decouple perception and action, which overlooks the causal reciprocity between sensory representations and action execution that humans naturally leverage for adaptive behaviors. To bridge this gap, we introduce Action-Guided Diffusion Policy (DP-AG), a unified re…
