Streaming Multi-Agent Autoregressive Diffusion Model with World State Registers

Multi-agent interactive world models should not only generate consistent observations, but also maintain world states that persist across agents and evolve across views. Existing autoregressive video diffusion pipelines carry forward observation history as conditioning context, which makes shared state difficult to maintain in multi-agent and multi-view settings.

SlerpFlow: Spherical Trajectory Correction for Rectified Flow Inversion

Rectified-flow-based diffusion transformers, particularly FLUX, have demonstrated outstanding performance in high-quality image generation. However, achieving fast and accurate inversion--transforming images back to latent noise for faithful reconstruction and editing--remains a challenging bottleneck due to the discretization errors of linear solvers.

GroupVideo: Multi-Identity Customized Text-to-Video Generation

Current identity customized video generation methodologies are predominantly limited to single-identity scenarios, as the lack of explicit identity separation mechanisms often leads to identity confusion in multi-identity settings. Existing multi-identity approaches, which directly extend single-identity frameworks by concatenating face images as input conditions, frequently result in unnatural facial expressions and motions, manifesting as the "copy-paste" phenomenon.

Distribution-Alignment Bridge for Uncertainty-Aware Text-to-Video Retrieval

This paper proposes the Distribution-Alignment Bridge (DAB), a framework that reconceptualizes text-to-video retrieval as a distribution alignment task rather than traditional deterministic point matching. By modeling both text and video embeddings as Gaussian distributions defined by mean and variance, DAB explicitly accounts for modality-specific uncertainty.

SynPre-FL: Synthetic data-driven pretraining integrated Federated Learning training framework

arXiv:2607. 19524v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated learning (FL) offers a promising approach to privacy-preserving clinical risk prediction, but its deployment remains limited by restricted data sharing, client heterogeneity, class imbalance, and the lack of realistic tabular electronic health record (EHR) benchmarks.

SynSur: An end-to-end generative pipeline for synthetic industrial surface defect generation and detection

arXiv:2604. 26633v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Industrial surface defect inspection suffers from a fundamental data bottleneck: defects are rare, annotations require expert knowledge, and collecting balanced training sets is slow and costly.

Structured Latent Space Modeling over Multi-Scale Temporal Patches for Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

arXiv:2607. 19404v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multivariate time series encode structural patterns that unfold across multiple temporal scales, yet most forecasting backbones treat learned representations as transient byproducts of prediction, leaving the organizational geometry of these patterns underexploited.

StreamHOI: Interaction-aware Temporal Memory Adaptation for Streaming HOI Video Generation

arXiv:2607. 20174v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing human--object interaction (HOI) video generation methods are largely limited to offline short-video generation with complex driving conditions, making them unsuitable for real-time interactive applications.

Geospatial Diffusion-based Evolution Synthesis (GeoDES) for Storm-Centered Weather Augmentation

arXiv:2607. 19522v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While machine learning-based weather models hold significant promise, they struggle to predict the detailed structure of large-scale weather systems such as cyclonic storms.
