As larger language models deliver stronger capabilities, their autoregressive inference becomes increasingly expensive. *Speculative decoding* accelerates generation by letting a fast draft propose tokens that the target model verifies in parallel. Yet under sampling ($T>0$), observed speedups consi…
Recent advancements in Audio-Video Large Language Models (AV-LLMs) have enhanced their capabilities in tasks like audio-visual question answering and multimodal dialog systems. Video and audio introduce an extended temporal dimension, resulting in a larger key-value (KV) cache compared to static ima
Recent advances in dense 3D reconstruction have led to significant progress, yet achieving accurate unified geometric prediction remains a major challenge. Most existing methods are limited to predicting a single geometry quantity from input images. However, geometric quantities such as depth, surfa…
We present FHAvatar, a novel framework for reconstructing 3D Gaussian avatars with composable face and hair components from an arbitrary number of views. Unlike previous approaches that couple facial and hair representations within a unified modeling process, we explicitly decouple two components in
Scaling up visual autoregressive models improves generation quality but incurs substantial inference costs. Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures mitigate this issue through sparse activation and have proven effective in large language models. However, training MoE models from scratch remains prohi…
We propose VIAFormer, a Voxel-Image Alignment transFormer model designed for Multi-view Conditioned Voxel Refinement--the task of repairing incomplete noisy voxels using calibrated multi-view images as guidance. Its effectiveness stems from a synergistic design: an Image Index that provides explicit
Mobile agents rely on Large Language Models (LLMs) to plan and execute tasks on smartphone user interfaces (UIs). While cloud-based LLMs achieve high task accuracy, they require uploading the full UI state at every step, exposing unnecessary and often irrelevant information. In contrast, local LLMs…
Speech-driven 3D facial animation has attracted significant attention due to its wide range of applications in animation production and virtual reality. Recent research has explored speech-emotion disentanglement to enhance facial expressions rather than manually assigning emotions. However, this ap…
Speech-driven 3D facial animation aims to create lifelike facial expressions that synchronize accurately with speech. Despite significant progress, many existing methods may focus on generating facial animation with a fixed emotional state, neglecting the diverse transformations of facial emotions u
Visual AutoRegressive (VAR) modeling employs a next-scale decoding paradigm that progresses from coarse structures to fine details. While enhancing fidelity and scalability, this approach challenges two fundamental assumptions of conventional dynamic inference: semantic stability (intermediate outpu…
This paper introduces MadaKV, a modality-adaptive key-value (KV) cache eviction strategy designed to enhance the efficiency of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) in long-context inference. In multimodal scenarios, attention heads exhibit varying preferences for different modalities, resulting…
Generating 360-degree panoramas from narrow field of view (NFoV) image is a promising computer vision task for Virtual Reality (VR) applications. Existing methods mostly assess the generated panoramas with InceptionNet or CLIP based metrics, which tend to perceive the image quality and is not suitab…
Evaluating the response quality of large language models (LLMs) for open-ended questions poses a significant challenge, especially given the subjectivity and multi-dimensionality of "quality" in natural language generation. Existing LLM evaluators often neglect that different scenarios require disti…
Stereo video synthesis from monocular input is challenging in spatial computing and virtual reality due to the lack of high-quality stereo video pairs for training and the difficulty of maintaining spatio-temporal consistency between frames. Existing methods primarily address these issues by directl…
Realistic 3D full-body talking avatars hold great potential in AR, with applications ranging from e-commerce live streaming to holographic communication. Despite advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) for lifelike avatar creation, existing methods struggle with fine-grained control of facial expre…
Language agents have achieved considerable performance on various complex question-answering tasks by planning with external tools. Despite the incessant exploration in this field, existing language agent systems still struggle with costly, non-reproducible data reliance and face the challenge of co…
Adapting pretrained models to downstream tasks is important in practical applications. Existing frameworks adapt from an initial pretrained model to each downstream task directly, but ignore the sequential nature of the downstream tasks and their feedback effect on the pretrained model. In this work…
Recent advancements in single image driven 3D content generation have been propelled by leveraging prior knowledge from pretrained 2D diffusion models. However the 3D content generated by existing methods often exhibits distorted outline shapes and inadequate details. To solve this problem we propos…
