LiDAR-GS++: Improving LiDAR Gaussian Reconstruction via Diffusion Priors

AAAI 2026technical

Recent GS-based rendering has made significant progress for LiDAR, surpassing Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) in both quality and speed. However, these methods exhibit artifacts in extrapolated novel view synthesis due to the incomplete reconstruction from single traversal scans. To address this limit

Replay Failures as Successes: Sample-Efficient Reinforcement Learning for Instruction Following

ICML 2026poster

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has shown promise for aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) to follow instructions with various constraints. Despite the encouraging results, RL improvement inevitably relies on sampling successful, high-quality responses; however, the initial model often struggles to gen…

TIGaussian: Disentangle Gaussians for Spatial-Awared Text-Image-3D Alignment

ICLR 2026poster

While visual-language models have profoundly linked features between texts and images, the incorporation of 3D modality data, such as point clouds and 3D Gaussians, further enables pretraining for 3D-related tasks, e.g., cross-modal retrieval, zero-shot classification, and scene recognition. As chal…

Reference Neural Operators: Learning the Smooth Dependence of Solutions of PDEs on Geometric Deformations

ICML 2024poster

For partial differential equations on domains of arbitrary shapes, existing works of neural operators attempt to learn a mapping from geometries to solutions. It often requires a large dataset of geometry-solution pairs in order to obtain a sufficiently accurate neural operator. However, for many in…

Attribute-Driven Feature Disentangling and Temporal Aggregation for Video Person Re-Identification

CVPR 2019poster

Video-based person re-identification plays an important role in surveillance video analysis, expanding image-based methods by learning features of multiple frames. Most existing methods fuse features by temporal average-pooling, without exploring the different frame weights caused by various viewpoi…

An Adversarial Approach to Hard Triplet Generation

ECCV 2018poster

While deep neural networks have demonstrated competitive results for many visual recognition and image retrieval tasks, the major challenge lies in distinguishing similar images from different categories (i.e., hard negative examples) while clustering images with large variations from the same categ…
