The paper introduces Connected Self Forcing, a training framework that reconnects gradient paths across autoregressive video chunks to improve long‑horizon visual quality and temporal consistency. It allows feedback from later predictions to influence earlier context generation, using shortcut gradient replay to keep memory usage manageable. The method is combined with distribution‑matching distillation and shows experimental gains without altering the inference procedure.
Autoregressive video generation has emerged as a powerful paradigm for World Action Models (WAMs). However, existing approaches suffer from slow training convergence and limited converged accuracy, particularly at high frame rates, as the training supervision is confined to the current chunk without explicit signals about future dynamics; they also suffer from slow inference due to iterative video denoising.
The paper introduces Relax Forcing, a training‑free memory mechanism for autoregressive video diffusion that structures temporal context into Sink, Tail, and History frames. By selecting History frames with a relaxation criterion, the method reduces error accumulation and attention overhead while preserving motion dynamics. Experiments on VBench‑Long demonstrate that this structured memory improves long‑video generation quality over existing baselines.
The paper introduces MESSENGER, a memory‑enhanced sequential scene flow estimation framework that uses a memory buffer to store past flow estimates and latent states. By retrieving and correlating these stored flows for each new frame, the method performs next‑frame forecasting and incorporates an uncertainty‑aware reweighting module to reduce error accumulation. Experiments on nuScenes and Argoverse 2 show significant improvements, reducing EPE3D by 71.6% and 67.7% respectively in long‑horizon predictions.
Ring Forcing is an autoregressive video diffusion framework that enhances long‑term memory by enforcing retrieval from distant history through a ring‑structured training strategy. It introduces a compression and timestep composition method to extend effective historical span to minutes, and a sparse RoPE mechanism for scalable memory adaptation. Experiments show that Ring Forcing outperforms state‑of‑the‑art models in minutes‑long coherence and object permanence.
arXiv:2607. 02087v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hierarchical state-space models (HSSMs) offer a promising approach to long-horizon prediction by segmenting sequences into temporal chunks.
We introduce Predictive State Retrieval (PSR), a task in which a model observes a short video prefix and a temporal question about an object's future state, then retrieves instances from other videos or images that depict that state. Unlike action anticipation, which predicts a label, moment retrieval, which localizes an observed event within a video, or video generation, which synthesizes pixels, PSR combines anticipation with cross-instance retrieval across multiple temporal horizons.
Autoregressive video diffusion models have emerged as a promising approach for long video generation, achieving strong performance in streaming settings. However, existing methods are restricted to forward temporal generation, whereas practical video creation often requires flexible generation order, e.
The paper introduces Prediction‑Aligned Context Compaction (PACC), a method that learns a compact memory representation for long‑video generation by distilling a frozen video generator. PACC trains a compressor to aggregate past frames into memory tokens, using the generator as both teacher and student during on‑policy distillation. Experiments on MBench and VBench‑Long show that PACC improves memory‑event coverage and consistency, achieving better scores than strong baselines and producing competitive minute‑long videos.
arXiv:2608. 07420v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World models are expected to support imagination over extended temporal horizons, yet most are still trained through local few-step prediction objectives and deployed by recursively rolling out their own predictions.
