arXiv:2604. 14603v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The fundamental limit of natural signal compression has traditionally been characterized by classical rate-distortion (RD) theory through the tradeoff between coding rate and reconstruction distortion, while the rate-distortion-perception (RDP) framework introduces a divergence-based measure of perceptual quality as a modeling principle, leaving its theoretical origin unclear.
arXiv:2607. 17232v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Classical rate-distortion (RD) theory has long established the fundamental limits of lossy compression by quantifying the minimum number of bits required to represent a source under a prescribed distortion constraint.
arXiv:2603. 01568v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Efficient coding theory predicts that biological perceptual systems compress sensory input optimally under resource constraints, with the systematic structure of errors reflecting the geometry of that compression.
arXiv:2606. 12858v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conventional communication systems, including both separation-based coding and learning-based joint source-channel coding (JSCC), are typically designed under Shannon's rate-distortion theory.
arXiv:2601. 22002v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformers achieve superior performance on many tasks, but impose heavy compute and memory requirements during inference.
Most existing extreme compression methods fail to achieve an optimal rate-distortion-perception trade-off, as they typically prioritize perceptual fidelity and visual realism over pixel-level accuracy. Consequently, the resulting reconstructions often deviate noticeably from the originals.
arXiv:2505. 23869v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A proposition that connects randomness and compression is put forward via Gibbs entropy over set of measurement vectors associated with a compression process.
arXiv:2606. 00635v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern VAEs are rarely trained with the pointwise likelihood implied by the standard $\beta$-VAE objective.
arXiv:2607. 23338v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph compression reduces the computational cost of graph learning, but its effect on signal propagation remains largely underexplored.
arXiv:2607. 03050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Omni modal large language models (OmniLLMs) have attracted wide attention for their ability to jointly process audio and video, but they generate large token sequences under audio-visual inputs, leading to substantial inference cost.
arXiv:2606. 30625v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contrastive embedding models trained with scale-invariant losses are typically paired with distance metrics like cosine similarity, effectively ignoring embedding magnitudes.
arXiv:2607. 09405v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Similarity search is a primary application of embedding models trained by contrastive learning.
Diffusion-based generative video compression has emerged as a promising paradigm to improve perceptual quality, where latent frames are required to be encoded efficiently while serving as denoising conditions. However, existing methods neither carefully design reference and quality structures during latent coding nor account for the impact of frame-level quality variation on denoising procedure, which limits coding efficiency and aggravates artifact propagation during generative reconstruction.
