DreamCraft3D++: Efficient Hierarchical 3D Generation with Multi-Plane Reconstruction Model

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Jingxiang Sun, Cheng Peng, Ruizhi Shao, Yuan-Chen Guo, Xiaochen Zhao | Summary: We introduce DreamCraft3D++, an extension of DreamCraft3D that enables efficient high-quality generation of complex 3D assets. DreamCraft3D++ inherits the multi-stage generation process of DreamCraft3D, but replaces the time-consuming geometry sculpting optimization with a feed-forward multi-plane […]

WorldCuisines: A Massive-Scale Benchmark for Multilingual and Multicultural Visual Question Answering on Global Cuisines

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Genta Indra Winata, Frederikus Hudi, Patrick Amadeus Irawan, David Anugraha, Rifki Afina Putri | Summary: Vision Language Models (VLMs) often struggle with culture-specific knowledge, particularly in languages other than English and in underrepresented cultural contexts. To evaluate their understanding of such knowledge, we introduce WorldCuisines, a massive-scale […]

Most High-density Exoplanets Are Unlikely to Be Remnant Giant-planet Cores

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Zifan Lin, Saverio Cambioni, Sara Seager, , | Summary: Some exoplanets have much higher densities than expected from stellar abundances of planet-forming elements. There are two theories – metal-rich formation hypothesis and naked core hypothesis – that explain how formation and evolution can alter the compositions and […]

On “Inconsistencies of metalens performance and comparison with conventional diffractive optics”

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Amir Arbabi, Andrei Faraon, , , | Summary: It was recently claimed1 that reported focusing efficiency values of high numerical aperture metalenses are inconsistent with a theoretical bound, and their measurement results are incorrectly interpreted. We review the article and conclude that these claims are not well […]

Dynamical time and Ashtekar variables for the Husain-Kuchař model

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: J. Fernando Barbero G., Juan Margalef-Bentabol, Aitor Vicente-Cano, Eduardo J. S. Villaseñor, | Summary: The relation between the Husain-Kuchav{r} model and some extensions thereof that incorporate a dynamical time variable is explored. To this end, we rely on the geometric approach to the Hamiltonian dynamics of […]

The Milky Way atlas for linear filaments II. clump rotation versus filament orientation

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Xuefang Xu, Ke Wang, Qian Gou, Tapas Baug, Di Li | Summary: Dense clumps distributed along filaments are the immediate medium for star formation. Kinematic properties of the clumps, such as velocity gradient and angular momentum, combined with filament orientation, provide important clues to the formation mechanism […]

K-Contact Distance for Noisy Nonhomogeneous Spatial Point Data with application to Repeating Fast Radio Burst sources

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: A. M. Cook, Dayi Li, Gwendolyn M. Eadie, David C. Stenning, Paul Scholz | Summary: This paper introduces an approach to analyze nonhomogeneous Poisson processes (NHPP) observed with noise, focusing on previously unstudied second-order characteristics of the noisy process. Utilizing a hierarchical Bayesian model with noisy […]
