Cross-Tokenizer On-Policy Distillation via Byte-Prefix Marginalization

Hao Wang, Kun Yuan, Wenlin Zhong, Minglei Zhang, Han Xiao, Ming Sun, et al.

Open-weight language models from different families exhibit complementary capabilities, motivating their consolidation into a compact student through on-policy distillation (OPD). However, full-vocabulary OPD typically assumes a shared tokenizer, while existing cross-tokenizer me…

Twins: Learn to Predict Unified Representations with Focal Loss

Kaixiong Gong, Xin Cai, Bin Lin, Hao Wang, Yunlong Lin, Mingzhe Zheng, et al.

Unified multimodal models seek a shared visual token space that supports both multimodal understanding and image generation. Discrete methods unify the interface via a shared codebook, whereas continuous pipelines often rely on two disparate representations -- semantic features (…

Probabilistic Residual Learning for Online Recommendations

Wenyuan Wang, Yusong Zhao, Zihao Xu, Hengyi Wang, Qi Xu, Zhigang Hua, et al.

Modern recommender systems are typically based on deep learning (DL) models, where a dense encoder learns representations of users and items. As a result, these systems often suffer from the black-box nature and computational complexity of the underlying models, making it difficu…

STEREOFLOW: Progressive Stereo Matching with StereoDiT and Transition Flow Matching

Hao Wang, Haoran Geng, Xiaotong Yang, Jing Tang, Songlin Wei, Linlong Lang, et al.

Stereo matching is a fundamental task in 3D reconstruction. Despite remarkable advances, the prevailing paradigms formulate stereo matching as a deterministic regression problem, collapsing the multimodal distribution modeling into a single-point estimation. This formulation suff…

Robots Acquire Manipulation Skills in Seconds from a Single Human Video

Guangyan Chen, Meiling Wang, Te Cui, Zichen Zhou, Qi Shao, Shalfun Li, et al.

The ability to acquire skills rapidly and effortlessly while retaining those already mastered is essential for robots. However, current methods still rely on a cumbersome training-time loop that is costly and slow, while eroding skills already mastered. In this paper, we introduc…

CR-Refiner: An Object-Centric Optimal Transport Reranker for Edit-Conditioned 3D Scene Retrieval

Hao Wu, Jinjing Zhu, Nanyu Wu, Qianyi Cai, Heyi Lin, Hao Wang, et al.

Edit-conditioned 3D scene retrieval pairs a reference 3D room with a natural-language modification and retrieves rooms from a corpus that satisfy the edit. Three lines of prior work each fall short on this task. 2D composed image retrieval reasons over pixel-level edits and has n…

GATE-3D: Geometry-Aware Test-time Adaptive Reranking for Open-Set 3D Shape Retrieval

Hao Wu, Heyi Lin, Zilin Wang, Huizai Yao, Hao Wang, Hui Xiong

Large pretrained vision models have substantially improved appearance-based 3D shape retrieval, but they still confuse shapes that look similar while differing in geometry. Although geometry-aware features can reduce these errors, naive fusion of geometry and appearance may hurt…

Distributional Matching for Vector Quantization: A Unified Theoretical and Empirical Framework

Xianghong Fang, Litao Guo, Hengchao Chen, Yuxuan Zhang, XiaofanXia, Dingjie Song, et al.

The effectiveness of modern visual representation learning and autoregressive models critically depends on vector quantization (VQ), which discretizes continuous feature representations using a learnable codebook. Despite its widespread use, existing VQ methods often suffer from…

Beyond Unfolding: 60x Faster One-Stage Unmixing for Closely-Spaced Infrared Small Targets

Ximeng Zhai, Zheng Wang, Yaohong Chen, Hao Wang, Ming-Ming Cheng, Yimian Dai

Due to the optical diffraction limit and long imaging distances, Closely-Spaced Infrared Small Targets (CSIST) typically exhibit energy overlap, manifesting as indistinguishable blobs in infrared images. This ambiguity invalidates the one-to-one mapping assumption of traditional…

OpenLongTail: Generative Scaling of Long-Tail Driving Data

Lulin Liu, Nuo Chen, Yan Wang, Bangya Liu, Wenyan Cong, Hezhen Hu, et al.

Scaling robust driving policies is fundamentally bottlenecked by the scarcity of edge cases in curated datasets. While the real world continuously captures these critical events, such long-tail events remain underutilized when collected from heterogeneous sources. Specifically, d…

Layer-Parallel Inference Reduces Encrypted Nonlinear Depth in Transformers

Ligong Han, Kai Xu, Hao Wang, Ruijiang Gao, Han Gao, Akash Srivastava

Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) enables computation on encrypted data, but practical encrypted Transformer inference is bottlenecked by the sequential composition of many nonlinear blocks. We study whether Structured Newton Layer Parallelism (SNLP) can make this inter-layer co…

From General Actions to Domain-Specific Monitoring: Prior-Adaptive Transfer for Skeleton-Based Action Recognition

Hao Wang, Di Yang, Jiangtao Wang

Skeleton-based action recognition models have recently shown strong performance on large-scale benchmarks with general actions. However, directly transferring them to domain-specific tasks e.g., healthcare monitoring, is often suboptimal, as such tasks are narrow in scope and may…

Separating Expert Retention from Autonomous Source Inference in Raw-ECG-Replay-Free Continual ECG Deployment

Yufan Lu, Xinhui Liu, Chenyang Xu, Yuxi Zhou, Hao Wang

In multi-source ECG deployment, models may need to incorporate new data sources when earlier raw ECGs cannot be retained or replayed. Freezing a pretrained backbone and assigning each source an isolated classifier prevents parameter interference, but deployment still requires sel…

Does Your ViT Still Need U-Net for Segmentation?

Xin Li, Wenhui Zhu, Xuanzhao Dong, Xiwen Chen, Yanxi Chen, Yujian Xiong, et al.

Medical image segmentation is dominated by U-Net-style encoder-decoder architectures. Vision Transformers (ViTs) overcome the limited receptive field of convolutional networks through self-attention, enabling modeling of long-range dependencies. Early ViT-based segmentation metho…
