  1. 1
    Comparing Surface Albedo and Land Surface Temperature of Reflective Roofs Across Five United States Cities

    A standardized sampling framework included 100 white-roof and 100 lower-reflectivity brown-roof regions of interest (ROIs) per city.

  2. 2
    A Voxel-Based Adaptive Exposure Model for Physically Based Volume Rendering

    However, differences in voxel values and opacity across transfer functions can make a fixed setting produce underexposed or overexposed results. To address this issue, we propose a voxel-contribution-based adaptive exposure model for physically based volume rendering.

  3. 3
    Orientation-Specific Multi-Objective Daylight Optimization of Office Buildings: Integrating Window Geometry and External Shading

    This study addresses the multi-objective trade-off between daylight utilization and reductions in the annual spatial-mean DGP indicator in office spaces in cold regions.

  4. 4
    Role-Aware and Type-Aware Hyper-Relational Knowledge Graph Completion

    However, prevailing completion methods prioritize global structural patterns while neglecting entity role dependencies and type-level semantic priors, rendering them vulnerable to data sparsity and semantic noise. This study proposes RATA, a hyper-relational knowledge graph completion model that integrates role-aware and type-aware mechanisms to mitigate these drawbacks.

  5. 5
    Topological Control of Polaritonic Flatbands in Anisotropic Van Der Waals Metasurfaces

    Topological transformations of their band structure can give rise to flatbands, which host dispersionless states with quenched kinetic energy and vanishing group velocity. Here we show that structuring ReS 2 into a resonant metasurface reshapes its photonic band topology, splitting the integer topological charge of the quasi-bound states in the continuum into two half-integer polarization singularities and driving the formation of directional far-field flatbands.

    How to Build Digital Humans? From Priors to Photorealistic Avatars

    Abstract This state‐of‐the‐art report provides an overview of controllable 3D human avatar creation.

  2. 7
    Deepfake Generation and Detection Algorithms: A Comprehensive Survey of Multimodal Learning, Robustness, Explainability, and Trustworthy Synthetic Media Forensics

    This survey presents a structured narrative synthesis of image, video, audio, and multimodal generation and detection, organised around the relationship between synthesis mechanisms and forensic evidence.

    SemEllipsoid: Semantic-aware Shape Abstraction with Ellipsoid

    In this paper, we introduce a new task - semantic-aware shape abstraction, where the goal is to produce abstractions that are both geometrically faithful and semantically consistent, ensuring that each primitive adheres strictly to a single semantic part without crossing semantic boundaries.

    One Image Is Enough: Self-Generated Supervision for Personalizing Human Video Diffusion at Test Time

    On TikTok and UBC Fashion, the adapted model improves the base on every metric, inverts the identity-versus-motion trade-off, and matches or surpasses adaptation on five real frames despite using none.

    Targeting DKC1-mediated Pseudouridylation Combined with PARPi Induces Synthetic Lethality in Homologous Recombination-proficient Tumors

    By analyzing a publicly available genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen conducted in the presence of the PARP inhibitor niraparib, we identified DKC1 as a top candidate whose loss synergized with PARP inhibition to selectively kill HR-proficient cancer cells.

    Lighting‐Consistent Object Transfer Across Radiance Fields

    However, extracting an object from a source scene and naively pasting it into a target scene will fail to produce realistic results due to the different lighting conditions between the two scenes. To address this problem, we introduce a diffusion model that harmonizes naively composited images with inconsistent lighting.

    Decompose The Distillation: Interpretable Single-Pass Guidance for Diffusion Models

    This work introduces CtrlFlow, a single-pass guidance method that preserves CFG's separable base-flow and guidance-direction interface.

  8. 13
    DC-SQEM: Medial Mesh Extraction By Dual Contouring with Spherical Quadric Error Metric

    We propose DC-SQEM, a dual-contouring-based framework that computes medial meshes (an explicit representation of the medial axis) directly from oriented point clouds without relying on watertight manifold surfaces or volumetric structures.

    Avoiding God Agents: An Empirical Solution to Architecting Standalone Multi-Agent Systems with Multi-Aspect Agents

    To address the god-agent problem, this paper proposes a fine-grained modular architectural pattern for implementing agents and MASs that systematically separates functional concerns into independently managed aspect entities while preserving the logical identity of agents within a standalone environment.

    Camera-Free Object Discovery and Interaction with GazeTags

    We present GazeTags, a camera- and computer-vision-free approach for worn head-gaze object awareness.

    GaussianRenderFormer: Transformer-based Rendering of 3D Gaussian Splats

    We present GaussianRenderFormer, a transformer that takes a set of Gaussians and a camera and outputs the image directly.

    EDGAR: Efficient Diffusion-Driven Gaussian Avatar Refinement Via Synthetic Failure

    We present EDGAR (Efficient Diffusion-Driven Gaussian Avatar Refinement), a conditional diffusion framework designed to enhance the quality of Gaussian avatars by correcting artifacts while preserving identity fidelity.
