We revisit dataset distillation from an outcome-centric perspective. Rather than aligning process surrogates (per-step gradients or training trajectories), Influence Matching (Inf-Match) aligns the final outcome of training: it learns a compact synthetic set whose effect on the c…
Hyper-Connections (HC) expand the residual stream of Transformers into $N$ parallel streams, providing a form of memory scaling beyond model width and depth. Manifold-Constrained HC (mHC) stabilizes this formulation at scale. The large gains from $N{=}1$ to $N{=}4$ suggest residu…
Scientific ideas rarely start from a blank page. They inherit mechanisms, repair known limitations, and recombine pieces of earlier work, much like biological genomes. Current benchmarks still say little about whether AI systems can follow this inheritance structure. We present I…
Evaluating end-to-end autonomous driving (E2E-AD) remains challenging, as existing driving simulation methods often trade off closed-loop interactivity (e.g., CARLA) and real-world visual fidelity (e.g., nuScenes). We present \textbf{\emph{Point as Skeleton}}, a generative sensor…
While modern video diffusion models excel in visual fidelity, maintaining long-range physical consistency remains a formidable challenge. Conventional pixel-reconstruction objectives mainly focus on appearance details and often fail to capture the underlying dynamics of a scene.…
Recent image generation and editing models can produce visually appealing natural images, yet they remain unreliable when the target image is a knowledge-intensive diagram whose correctness depends on disciplinary concepts, symbolic structure, and precise spatial relations. We in…
