Mutual Enhancement Between Global Tokens and Patch Tokens: From Theory to Practice

Accurate and effective discrete image tokenization is crucial for long image sequence processing. However, current methods rigidly compress all content at a fixed rate, ignoring the variable information density of images and leading to either redundancy or information loss. Inspired by information entropy, we propose TaTok, a Theoretically grounded adaptive image Tokenization framework. We rigorously identify two key drawbacks in existing methods: information insufficiency when reconstructing images with patch tokens alone, and information redundancy among patch tokens. To address these, we introduce global tokens that model mutual information across patch tokens, and a Dynamic Token Filtering (DTF) algorithm based on cumulative conditional entropy to eliminate redundancy. Experiments confirm TaTok's state-of-the-art performance, delivering a 1.3x gFID improvement and 8.7x inference speedup. By allocating tokens according to information richness, TaTok enables more compressed yet accurate image tokenization, offering valuable insights for future research.

SC-Taxo: Hierarchical Taxonomy Generation under Semantic Consistency Constraints using Large Language Models

Scientific literature is expanding at an unprecedented pace, making it increasingly challenging to efficiently organize and access domain knowledge. A high-quality scientific taxonomy offers a structured and hierarchical representation of a research field, facilitating literature exploration and topic navigation, as well as enabling downstream applications such as trend analysis, idea generation, and information retrieval. However, existing taxonomy generation approaches often suffer from structural inconsistencies and semantic misalignment across hierarchical levels. Through empirical analysis, we find that these issues largely stem from inadequate modeling of hierarchical semantic consistency. To address this limitation, we propose a semantic-consistent taxonomy generation (SC-Taxo) framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) with hierarchy-aware refinement stages to ensure semantic consistency. Specifically, SC-Taxo introduces a bidirectional heading generation mechanism that jointly performs bottom-up abstraction and top-down semantic constraint, while further capturing peer-level semantic dependencies to enhance horizontal consistency. Experiments on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate consistent improvements in hierarchy alignment and heading quality, and additional evaluation on Chinese scientific literature validates its robust cross-lingual generalization.
