arXiv:2608. 08309v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We argue that learning visual representations without labels requires a training signal jointly complete across three non-overlapping objectives: semantic invariance across augmented views, patch-level spatial prediction, and representational non-degeneracy.

WildRelight is the first in-the-wild dataset designed to evaluate single-image relighting models, featuring high-resolution outdoor scenes captured under strictly aligned, temporally varying natural illuminations paired with high-dynamic-range environment maps. The benchmark demonstrates that state-of-the-art models trained on synthetic data suffer severe domain shifts when applied to real-world imagery. Leveraging the dataset’s temporal structure, the authors introduce a physics-guided inference framework combining Diffusion Posterior Sampling with Temporal Sampling-Aware Test-Time Adaptation, enabling synthetic models to self-supervise and align with real-world statistics on-the-fly.

RecGen3D is a framework that merges feed‑forward reconstruction and diffusion‑based generation to address the trade‑off between reconstruction fidelity and generative plausibility in sparse‑view 3D modeling. By aligning both models in a shared canonical space and using decoupled cooperative learning, the system stabilizes training and allows the reconstruction module to supply canonical geometric anchors while the diffusion generator refines and completes the structure. Experiments show that RecGen3D outperforms existing methods in producing complete and consistent 3D models from sparse observations.

arXiv:2410. 10137v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We develop Riemannian approaches to variational autoencoders (VAEs) for PDE-type ambient data with regularizing geometric latent dynamics, which we refer to as VAE-DLM, or VAEs with dynamical latent manifolds.

Recent advances in diffusion models have shown impressive performance in controllable image generation and dense prediction tasks. However, existing approaches typically treat diffusion-based controllable generation and dense prediction as separate tasks, overlooking the potential benefits of jointly modeling the heterogeneous distributions.
