RelayVSR introduces a streaming video super‑resolution framework that combines a large generative model, which produces reference latents for sparse keyframes, with a lightweight Dual‑Memory Video Transformer that super‑resolves every frame using these references and low‑resolution input. The method employs Video‑Aware Reference Optimization (VARO), a reinforcement‑learning strategy that optimizes both system‑level video quality and reference‑level keyframe fidelity, outperforming direct joint training. On 1080p video, RelayVSR achieves 29.29 FPS with modest GPU memory usage, significantly faster and more efficient than the FlashVSR‑Tiny baseline.

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.

Large generative models can recover realistic detail in real-world video super-resolution (VSR), but processing an entire video with them is computationally expensive. In this work, we present RelayVS...
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.

TT-VidT is a video pretraining method that decouples the temporal axis by combining a per‑frame ViT-B/16 spatial encoder with a compact Temporal Transfer Layer trained via Diff Compression. The authors conduct a systematic 24‑configuration study to isolate architecture, objective, and decoder effects, showing that the full TT-VidT design yields the strongest motion‑sensitive representations. In downstream fine‑tuning, TT‑VidT outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines on Jester, Something‑Something V2, ARID, and Diving48 while using significantly fewer encoder FLOPs.
