LRConv-NeRV introduces low‑rank separable convolutions into the NeRV neural video decoder, replacing selected dense 3x3 layers to reduce computational load and memory usage. By applying low‑rank factorization progressively from the largest to earlier decoder stages, the method offers controllable trade‑offs between reconstruction quality and efficiency. Experiments show that applying LRConv only to the final decoder stage cuts decoder complexity by 68% and model size by 9.3% with negligible quality loss, while INT8 quantization preserves performance close to the dense baseline.

TCNeRV is a new implicit neural video compression method that models temporal context in both feature and embedding domains. Its multi‑scale temporal‑context fusion module injects gated historical features across decoder scales, while temporal embedding‑residual coding predicts and encodes only the residual of each content embedding. With about 3 million parameters, TCNeRV achieves an average PSNR of 36.08 dB on the UVG dataset, outperforming HNeRV‑Boost by 2.20 dB and reducing BD‑rate by 22.06%, 66.73%, and 29.85% relative to HM, DCVC, and HiNeRV respectively.

Latent video generation relies on autoencoders to define a compact space in which generative models operate. Although video autoencoder architectures have evolved substantially, their latent spaces are still optimized primarily for pixel-level reconstruction and provide limited high-level semantic organization.

Scalable Neural Video Representation Compression (S-NVRC) introduces a scalable implicit neural representation (INR) video codec that supports fine-grained bitrate and decoding‑complexity scalability from a single embedded bitstream. It uses a coarse‑to‑fine prefix for feature grids and a nested prefix for network layers, enabling a wide range of operating points while maintaining a single encoding. On the UVG dataset, S‑NVRC outperforms SHM 12.4 and multi‑layer VTM‑20.0 by 43.7 % and 5.6 % in BD‑rate, respectively, and offers flexible complexity scalability.

LDDR (Linear DPP Dynamic Resolution) is a training‑free, budget‑aware video frame sampling framework designed for multimodal large language models (MLLMs). It uses query‑aware Determinantal Point Process (DPP) selection in a task‑conditioned feature space, achieving a 3× runtime speedup over standard DPP baselines. By assigning a non‑uniform token budget—allocating more tokens to informative, non‑redundant frames and downscaling or pruning less useful ones—LDDR improves performance by 2.5 points in low‑budget settings and 1.6 points in high‑budget scenarios across four video benchmarks and multiple MLLM families.
