DynaFilter: Cloud-driven Dynamic Filtering for Satellite Edge Intelligence

arXiv:2607. 10098v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern satellite edge systems, including those performing remote sensing tasks such object detection and tracking, are characterized by severely limited bandwidth and intermittent connections, making continuous data transmission to the cloud impractical.

Demixing Sparse Signals from Nonlinear Observations using Generalized Non-convex Regularization

arXiv:2607. 10618v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the recovery of a pair of sparse vectors from a limited number of nonlinear observations of their superposition: $y_i=g(\inner{\ba_i}{\bPhi\bw^\ast+\bPsi\bz^\ast})+e_i$, $i=1,\dots,m$, with $m\ll n$, incoherent orthonormal bases $\bPhi,\bPsi$, a scalar link $g$, and noise $e_i$ that may be heavy-tailed or contaminated.

Transition Matching Distillation for Fast Video Generation

arXiv:2601. 09881v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large video diffusion and flow models have achieved remarkable success in high-quality video generation, but their use in real-time interactive applications remains limited due to their inefficient multi-step sampling process.

BlockServe: Block-Grained Continuous Batching for High-Throughput Diffusion LLM Serving

arXiv:2607. 08930v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient serving of diffusion large language models (dLLMs) is hindered by convergence heterogeneity: when batching multiple requests, different sequences converge at different rates, causing faster requests to stall behind slower stragglers and introducing compute bubbles and tail latency.
