The paper introduces VoRTeC, a video compression framework that leverages a foundational flow model to encode latent video representations compactly and predict their positions along flow trajectories. By integrating multi‑scale priors and avoiding access to flow‑matching network parameters, VoRTeC achieves one‑step decoding with high perceptual fidelity, while maintaining temporal consistency through tail‑frame reuse and prior caching. Experiments show a 58% reduction in bit consumption compared to prior diffusion‑based methods and a decoding speed increase ranging from 3 to 197 times, reaching 13 FPS at 720p and 32 FPS at 480p.

ContextAnyone is a context‑aware diffusion framework that treats a reference image as an explicitly preserved appearance anchor rather than a simple conditioning signal. By jointly reconstructing the reference image and generating the target video within a shared diffusion transformer, it provides direct supervision for maintaining identity and fine‑grained appearance throughout denoising. The method introduces asymmetric information flow and Gap‑RoPE positional representations to keep the reference stable while allowing selective access by video tokens, and demonstrates improved identity and appearance consistency on an OpenVid‑HD benchmark.

High-Fidelity Video Quality Assessment (HFVQA) is a new framework that uses fixed-size spatio‑temporal patches across multiple scales, including the original resolution, to preserve low‑level quality cues and semantic context. It incorporates a lightweight auxiliary network that learns VQA‑specific saliency directly from quality supervision, enabling the model to focus on the most important spatio‑temporal regions. By combining high‑fidelity cues with task‑specific saliency, HFVQA achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on standard no‑reference VQA benchmarks while processing only about 12% of the candidate patches, making it computationally efficient.
