Cinematic video production requires control over scene-subject composition and camera movement, but live-action shooting remains costly due to the need for constructing physical sets. To address this, we introduce the task of cinematic video generation with decoupled scene context: given multiple im
Trustworthy language models should provide both correct and verifiable answers. However, citations generated directly by standalone LLMs are often unreliable due to hallucinations. As a result, current systems insert citations by querying an external retriever at inference time, introducing latency,…
Existing AI-based film generation systems can generate high-quality videos, but struggle to design expressive camera language and establish cinematic rhythm. This deficiency leads to templated visuals and unengaging narratives. To address these limitations, we introduce FilMaster, an end-to-end auto…
Text-to-video generation models have shown significant progress in recent years. However, they still struggle with compositional text prompts, such as attribute binding for multiple objects, temporal dynamics associated with differ- ent objects, and interactions between objects. Inspired by ef- fect
3D part amodal segmentation--decomposing a 3D shape into complete, semantically meaningful parts, even when occluded--is a challenging but crucial task for 3D content creation and understanding. Existing 3D part segmentation methods only identify visible surface patches, limiting their utility. Insp…
While Large Language Models (LLMs) hold promise to become autonomous agents, they often explore suboptimally in sequential decision-making. Recent work has sought to enhance this capability via supervised fine-tuning (SFT) or reinforcement learning (RL), improving regret on the classic multi-armed b…
3D panorama synthesis is a promising yet challenging task that demands high-quality and diverse visual appearance and geometry of the generated omnidirectional content. Existing methods leverage rich image priors from pre-trained 2D foundation models to circumvent the scarcity of 3D panoramic data,…
Speculative Decoding (SD) enforces strict distributional equivalence to the target model when accepting candidate tokens. While it maintains the target model’s generation quality, this strict equivalence limits the speedup achievable by SD and prevents users from trading deviations from the target d…
We show that existing evaluations for assessing the factuality of news from conventional sources, such as claims on fact-checking websites, result in high accuracies over time for LLM-based detectors—even after their knowledge cutoffs. This suggests that recent popular false information from such so…
We present The Matrix, a foundational realistic world simulator capable of generating infinitely long 720p high-fidelity real-scene video streams with real-time, responsive control in both first- and third-person perspectives. Trained on limited supervised data from video games like Forza Horizon 5…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are often augmented with external contexts, such as those used in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). However, these contexts can be inaccurate or intentionally misleading, leading to conflicts with the model’s internal knowledge. We argue that robust LLMs should demon…
Recent work has aimed to improve LLM generations by filtering out hallucinations, thereby improving the precision of the information in responses. Correctness of a long-form response, however, also depends on the recall of multiple pieces of information relevant to the question. In this paper, we in…
To enhance Large Language Models’ (LLMs) reliability, calibration is essential—the model’s confidence scores should align with the likelihood of its responses being correct. However, traditional calibration methods typically rely on a binary true/false assessment of response correctness, unsuitable…
Utilizing pre-trained 2D large-scale generative models recent works are capable of generating high-quality novel views from a single in-the-wild image. However due to the lack of information from multiple views these works encounter difficulties in generating controllable novel views. In this paper…
Text-to-image diffusion models pre-trained on billions of image-text pairs have recently enabled 3D content creation by optimizing a randomly initialized differentiable 3D representation with score distillation. However, the optimization process suffers slow convergence and the resultant 3D models o…
In this paper, we present TOSS, which introduces text to the task of novel view synthesis (NVS) from just a single RGB image. While Zero123 has demonstrated impressive zero-shot open-set NVS capabilities, it treats NVS as a pure image-to-image translation problem. This approach suffers from the cha…
Reinforcement learning (RL) has made significant advancements in artificial intelligence. However, its real-world applications are limited due to differences between simulated environments and the actual world. Consequently, it is crucial to systematically analyze how each component of the RL system…
We present DreamWaltz, a novel framework for generating and animating complex 3D avatars given text guidance and parametric human body prior. While recent methods have shown encouraging results for text-to-3D generation of common objects, creating high-quality and animatable 3D avatars remains chall…
Video-based person re-identification (Re-ID) is a prominent computer vision topic due to its wide range of video surveillance applications. Most existing methods utilize spatial and temporal correlations in frame sequences to obtain discriminative person features. However, inevitable degradations, e…
This work presents two astonishing findings on neural networks learned for large-scale image classification. 1) Given a well-trained model, the logits predicted for some category can be directly obtained by linearly combining the predictions of a few other categories, which we call neural dependency…
"Images captured under incorrect exposures unavoidably suffer from mixed degradations of lightness and structures. Most existing deep learning-based exposure correction methods separately restore such degradations in the spatial domain. In this paper, we present a new perspective for exposure correc…
The rank of neural networks measures information flowing across layers. It is an instance of a key structural condition that applies across broad domains of machine learning. In particular, the assumption of low-rank feature representations led to algorithmic developments in many architectures. For…
In unconstrained real-world surveillance scenarios, person re-identification (Re-ID) models usually suffer from different low-level perceptual variations, e.g., cross-resolution and insufficient lighting. Due to the limited variation range of training data, existing models are difficult to generaliz…
Person re-identification (Re-ID) in real-world scenarios usually suffers from various degradation factors, e.g., low-resolution, weak illumination, blurring and adverse weather. On the one hand, these degradations lead to severe discriminative information loss, which significantly obstructs identity…
