Resolving Representation Ambiguity in Feedforward Novel View Synthesis Transformer via Semantic-Spatial Decoupling

Transformer-based models have advanced feedforward novel view synthesis (NVS). Current architectures such as GS-LRM and LVSM mix semantic information (e.g., RGB) and spatial information (e.g., Plücker rays) into a shared feature space. Since Plücker rays naturally carry lattice-like spatial structure, these designs can make the spatial bias interfere with appearance representation and degrade rendering fidelity. To this end, we propose to decouple the representation of feedforward NVS transformers into separate semantic and spatial tokens. The decoupled design keeps semantic and spatial information explicit in their branches while preserving cross-branch interaction through shared attention routing. Built on this design, we introduce optional categorized supervision and bidirectional modulation: the former provides branch-specific training signals, while the latter improves interaction between the two branches. Notably, the base decoupled design introduces virtually zero additional inference latency due to its architectural design. The proposed designs achieve consistent improvements, demonstrating effectiveness across decoder-only and encoder-decoder feedforward NVS models.

SWIFT: Prompt-Adaptive Memory for Efficient Interactive Long Video Generation

Streaming long-video generation faces a central challenge in continuous semantic switching, requiring adaptive memory to preserve coherent visual evolution. Current approaches rely on cache rebuilding at prompt boundaries or fixed memory budgets, but they introduce redundant computation and limit flexible semantic adaptation. This limitation arises from a mismatch between cached video history and prompt updates, as memory preserves visual continuity while prompt switches demand rapid semantic adaptation. Motivated by this observation, we present SWIFT, Semantic Windowing and Injection for Flexible Transitions, a training-free framework for multi-prompt long-video generation that enables efficient semantic switching while preserving temporal coherence in causal video diffusion models. SWIFT introduces a lightweight Semantic Injection Cache that augments cached video memory rather than reconstructing it from scratch at every prompt boundary. To avoid uniformly perturbing all attention channels, we further perform head-wise semantic injection, so that each attention head receives a prompt update proportional to its alignment with the current video state. In addition, we introduce an Adaptive Dynamic Window that allocates temporal memory according to prompt phase, using larger local context near switching boundaries and smaller windows during stable segments to reduce average inference cost. To preserve long-range semantic consistency under compressed local attention, we further maintain segment-level semantic anchors that summarize prompt-conditioned video history and reintroduce it as compact memory tokens. Compared with current state-of-the-art methods, SWIFT preserves generation quality while achieving 22.6 FPS on a single H100 GPU, establishing a substantially more efficient solution for multi-prompt long-video generation.

On the Evaluation and Refinement of Vision-Language Instruction Tuning Datasets

There is an emerging line of research on multimodal instruction tuning, and a line of benchmarks has been proposed for evaluating these models recently. Instead of evaluating the models directly, in this paper, we try to evaluate the Vision-Language Instruction-Tuning (VLIT) datasets. Also, we seek the way of building a dataset for developing an all-powerful VLIT model, which we believe could also be of utility for establishing a grounded protocol for benchmarking VLIT models. For effective evaluation of VLIT datasets that remains an open question, we propose a tune-cross-evaluation paradigm: tuning on one dataset and evaluating on the others in turn. For each single tune-evaluation experiment set, we define the Meta Quality (MQ) as the mean score obtained by a set of caption metrics including BLEU, METEOR, and ROUGE-L to quantify the quality of a certain dataset or a sample. On this basis, to evaluate the comprehensiveness of a dataset, we develop the Dataset Quality (DQ) covering all tune-evaluation sets. To lay the foundation for building a comprehensive dataset and developing an all-powerful model for practical applications, we define the Sample Quality (SQ) to quantify the all-sided quality of each sample. Extensive experiments validate the rationality of the proposed evaluation paradigm. Based on the holistic evaluation, we build a new dataset, REVO-LION (REfining VisiOn-Language InstructiOn tuNing), by collecting samples with higher SQ from each dataset. Remarkably, even with only half of the complete data, the model trained on REVO-LION can achieve the performance comparable to simply adding all VLIT datasets up. Furthermore, REVO-LION not only facilitates the development of a powerful model but also incorporates an evaluation set, which is designed to serve as a convenient benchmark for future research in the field.

DOTIN: Dropping Task-Irrelevant Nodes for GNNs

Scalability is an important consideration for deep graph neural networks. Inspired by the conventional pooling layers in CNNs, many recent graph learning approaches have introduced the pooling strategy to reduce the size of graphs for learning, such that the scalability and efficiency can be improved. However, these pooling-based methods are mainly tailored to a single graph-level task and pay more attention to local information, limiting their performance in multi-task settings which often require task-specific global information. In this paper, departure from these pooling-based efforts, we design a new approach called DOTIN (\underline{D}r\underline{o}pping \underline{T}ask-\underline{I}rrelevant \underline{N}odes) to reduce the size of graphs. Specifically, by introducing $K$ learnable virtual nodes to represent the graph embeddings targeted to $K$ different graph-level tasks, respectively, up to 90\% raw nodes with low attentiveness with an attention model -- a transformer in this paper, can be adaptively dropped without notable performance decreasing. Achieving almost the same accuracy, our method speeds up GAT by about 50\% on graph-level tasks including graph classification and graph edit distance (GED) with about 60\% less memory, on D\&D dataset. Code will be made publicly available in https://github.com/Sherrylone/DOTIN.

Electron and recoil ion momentum imaging with a magneto-optically trapped target

A reaction microscope (ReMi) has been combined with a magneto-optical trap (MOT) for the kinematically complete investigation of atomic break-up processes. With the novel MOTReMi apparatus, the momentum vectors of the fragments of laser-cooled and state-prepared lithium atoms are measured in coincidence and over the full solid angle. %Earlier attempts to realize this combination failed due to intrinsic incompatibilities of the magnetic fields required for MOT and ReMi. The first successful implementation of a MOTReMi could be realized due to an optimized design of the present setup, a nonstandard operation of the MOT, and by employing a switching cycle with alternating measuring and trapping periods. The very low target temperature in the MOT ($2mK$) allow for an excellent momentum resolution. Optical preparation of the target atoms in the excited Li $2^2P_{3/2}$ state was demonstrated providing an atomic polarization of close to 100\percent. While first experimental results were reported earlier, in this work we focus on the technical description of the setup and its performance in commissioning experiments involving target ionization in $266nm$ laser pulses and in collisions with projectile ions.
