Hybrid-PCGC: Hybrid Point Cloud Geometry Compression Bridging Generalization-based Model and Implicit Neural Representation

Hybrid-PCGC is a point cloud geometry compression method that blends learned generalization with implicit neural representations. It treats compression as a joint geometry-and-model bitrate allocation problem, optimizing instance‑specific weight offsets as transmitted variables. The approach separates dataset‑agnostic prior modeling from instance‑specific adaptation using a Frozen General Module, a Dual Trainable Adaptive Module, an Adaptive Scope Controller, and a Supervised Offset Compression Module, achieving significant bitrate reductions over existing methods.

dMX: Differentiable Mixed-Precision Assignment for Low-Precision Floating-Point Formats

arXiv:2606. 04115v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantizing large language models (LLMs) to low-precision floating-point representations is central to efficient deployment, yet applying a single bit-width uniformly across all layers is sub-optimal in terms of both performance and accuracy.

Constrained Dynamic Gaussian Splatting

Constrained Dynamic Gaussian Splatting (CDGS) addresses the memory challenges of Dynamic Gaussian Splatting by framing reconstruction as a budget‑constrained optimization problem. It introduces a differentiable budget controller that fuses geometric, motion, and perceptual cues to enforce a strict, user‑defined Gaussian budget during training. CDGS further splits the representation into static and dynamic branches, allocates capacity based on motion complexity, and employs a three‑phase training strategy and hybrid compression to achieve high‑quality rendering with over 3× model compression compared to Ex4DGS.

HAMP-LIC: Hessian-Aware Mixed-Precision Post-Training Quantization for Learned Image Compression

Use this plain-text version for the arXiv abstract field: Learned image compression (LIC) models achieve strong rate-distortion performance but are hindered by high computational complexity and encoding-decoding mismatches across heterogeneous hardware platforms. Uniform fixed-precision quantization alleviates these issues but suffers severe quality degradation at low bit widths because it ignores differences in the quantization sensitivities of individual layers.

GS-Net: Heterogeneous Vehicle Data Reuse via Generalizable Plug-and-Play 3DGS Module

GS‑Net is a lightweight plug‑and‑play module that expands sparse Structure‑from‑Motion point clouds into dense Gaussian primitives, enabling cross‑sensor view synthesis for autonomous driving. It learns a generalizable initialization for 3D Gaussian Splatting, improving rendering quality for both interpolated and extrapolated camera viewpoints. The authors introduce CARLA‑NVS, a benchmark with 12 uniformly spaced cameras, and show that GS‑Net outperforms standard 3DGS by 2.08 dB PSNR on interpolated views and 1.86 dB on extrapolated views while being 50× faster to initialize.

Rotation Is Token-Blind: A Structural Criterion for Post-Training Quantization of Feed-Forward Geometry Transformers

The paper introduces QMapAnything, a post‑training quantization framework tailored for feed‑forward geometry transformers that use Transformers to predict camera poses, depth, and structure in a single pass. It addresses the challenge that heterogeneous token types share a single activation quantization grid, which can cause high‑leverage tokens to dominate outputs. By treating rotation and smoothing as token‑blind reparameterizations and defining a statistic γ to gauge when differentiated bias correction is needed, the method achieves W4A8 quantization that closely matches full‑precision performance while W8A8 reduces peak memory by 2.2–3.1× and speeds up inference by up to 3.1× on real hardware.
