Divide and Conquer: Decoupled Representation Alignment for Multimodal World Models

Emerging multi-modal world models attempt to jointly generate videos across diverse modalities (e.g., RGB, depth, and mask), yet they fail to fully exploit the rich priors of existing foundation models. We propose $M^2$-REPA, the first representation alignment method tailored for multi-modal video generation. Our key insight is that foundation models trained on different modality spaces naturally capture distinct domain-specific priors, acting as complementary "experts." Specifically, we first decouple modality-specific features from the diffusion model's intermediate representations, then align each with its corresponding expert foundation model. To this end, we design two synergistic objectives: a multi-modal representation alignment loss that enforces feature-to-expert matching, and a modality-specific decoupling regularization that encourages complementarity across different modalities. This design enables joint optimization, fully exploiting priors from multiple foundation models. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms baselines in visual quality and long-term consistency.

Index-ASR Technical Report

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has witnessed remarkable progress in recent years, largely driven by the emergence of LLM-based ASR paradigm. Despite their strong performance on a variety of open-source benchmarks, existing LLM-based ASR systems still suffer from two critical limitations. First, they are prone to hallucination errors, often generating excessively long and repetitive outputs that are not well grounded in the acoustic input. Second, they provide limited support for flexible and fine-grained contextual customization. To address these challenges, we propose Index-ASR, a large-scale LLM-based ASR system designed to simultaneously enhance robustness and support customizable hotword recognition. The core idea of Index-ASR lies in the integration of LLM and large-scale training data enriched with background noise and contextual information. Experimental results show that our Index-ASR achieves strong performance on both open-source benchmarks and in-house test sets, highlighting its robustness and practicality for real-world ASR applications.

Age of Information-based Scheduling for Wireless D2D Systems with a Deep Learning Approach

Device-to-device (D2D) links scheduling for avoiding excessive interference is critical to the success of wireless D2D communications. Most of the traditional scheduling schemes only consider the maximum throughput or fairness of the system and do not consider the freshness of information. In this paper, we propose a novel D2D links scheduling scheme to optimize an age of information (AoI) and throughput jointly scheduling problem when D2D links transmit packets under the last-come-first-serve policy with packet-replacement (LCFS-PR). It is motivated by the fact that the maximum throughput scheduling may reduce the activation probability of links with poor channel conditions, which results in terrible AoI performance. Specifically, We derive the expression of the overall average AoI and throughput of the network under the spatio-temporal interfering queue dynamics with the mean-field assumption. Moreover, a neural network structure is proposed to learn the mapping from the geographic location to the optimal scheduling parameters under a stationary randomized policy, where the scheduling decision can be made without estimating the channel state information(CSI) after the neural network is well-trained. To overcome the problem that implicit loss functions cannot be back-propagated, we derive a numerical solution of the gradient. Finally, numerical results reveal that the performance of the deep learning approach is close to that of a local optimal algorithm which has a higher computational complexity. The trade-off curve of AoI and throughput is also obtained, where the AoI tends to infinity when throughput is maximized.

Coarse-to-Fine Embedded PatchMatch and Multi-Scale Dynamic Aggregation for Reference-based Super-Resolution

Reference-based super-resolution (RefSR) has made significant progress in producing realistic textures using an external reference (Ref) image. However, existing RefSR methods obtain high-quality correspondence matchings consuming quadratic computation resources with respect to the input size, limiting its application. Moreover, these approaches usually suffer from scale misalignments between the low-resolution (LR) image and Ref image. In this paper, we propose an Accelerated Multi-Scale Aggregation network (AMSA) for Reference-based Super-Resolution, including Coarse-to-Fine Embedded PatchMatch (CFE-PatchMatch) and Multi-Scale Dynamic Aggregation (MSDA) module. To improve matching efficiency, we design a novel Embedded PatchMacth scheme with random samples propagation, which involves end-to-end training with asymptotic linear computational cost to the input size. To further reduce computational cost and speed up convergence, we apply the coarse-to-fine strategy on Embedded PatchMacth constituting CFE-PatchMatch. To fully leverage reference information across multiple scales and enhance robustness to scale misalignment, we develop the MSDA module consisting of Dynamic Aggregation and Multi-Scale Aggregation. The Dynamic Aggregation corrects minor scale misalignment by dynamically aggregating features, and the Multi-Scale Aggregation brings robustness to large scale misalignment by fusing multi-scale information. Experimental results show that the proposed AMSA achieves superior performance over state-of-the-art approaches on both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.

Efficient Non-Local Contrastive Attention for Image Super-Resolution

Non-Local Attention (NLA) brings significant improvement for Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR) by leveraging intrinsic feature correlation in natural images. However, NLA gives noisy information large weights and consumes quadratic computation resources with respect to the input size, limiting its performance and application. In this paper, we propose a novel Efficient Non-Local Contrastive Attention (ENLCA) to perform long-range visual modeling and leverage more relevant non-local features. Specifically, ENLCA consists of two parts, Efficient Non-Local Attention (ENLA) and Sparse Aggregation. ENLA adopts the kernel method to approximate exponential function and obtains linear computation complexity. For Sparse Aggregation, we multiply inputs by an amplification factor to focus on informative features, yet the variance of approximation increases exponentially. Therefore, contrastive learning is applied to further separate relevant and irrelevant features. To demonstrate the effectiveness of ENLCA, we build an architecture called Efficient Non-Local Contrastive Network (ENLCN) by adding a few of our modules in a simple backbone. Extensive experimental results show that ENLCN reaches superior performance over state-of-the-art approaches on both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.

Polar Transformation Based Multiple Instance Learning Assisting Weakly Supervised Image Segmentation With Loose Bounding Box Annotations

This study investigates weakly supervised image segmentation using loose bounding box supervision. It presents a multiple instance learning strategy based on polar transformation to assist image segmentation when loose bounding boxes are employed as supervision. In this strategy, weighted smooth maximum approximation is introduced to incorporate the observation that pixels closer to the origin of the polar transformation are more likely to belong to the object in the bounding box. The proposed approach was evaluated on a public medical dataset using Dice coefficient. The results demonstrate its superior performance. The codes are available at \url{https://github.com/wangjuan313/wsis-polartransform}.

SCS-Co: Self-Consistent Style Contrastive Learning for Image Harmonization

Image harmonization aims to achieve visual consistency in composite images by adapting a foreground to make it compatible with a background. However, existing methods always only use the real image as the positive sample to guide the training, and at most introduce the corresponding composite image as a single negative sample for an auxiliary constraint, which leads to limited distortion knowledge, and further causes a too large solution space, making the generated harmonized image distorted. Besides, none of them jointly constrain from the foreground self-style and foreground-background style consistency, which exacerbates this problem. Moreover, recent region-aware adaptive instance normalization achieves great success but only considers the global background feature distribution, making the aligned foreground feature distribution biased. To address these issues, we propose a self-consistent style contrastive learning scheme (SCS-Co). By dynamically generating multiple negative samples, our SCS-Co can learn more distortion knowledge and well regularize the generated harmonized image in the style representation space from two aspects of the foreground self-style and foreground-background style consistency, leading to a more photorealistic visual result. In addition, we propose a background-attentional adaptive instance normalization (BAIN) to achieve an attention-weighted background feature distribution according to the foreground-background feature similarity. Experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method over other state-of-the-art methods in both quantitative comparison and visual analysis.
