Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Guosheng Zhao, Chaojun Ni, Xiaofeng Wang, Zheng Zhu, Xueyang Zhang | Summary: Closed-loop simulation is essential for advancing end-to-end autonomous driving systems. Contemporary sensor simulation methods, such as NeRF and 3DGS, rely predominantly on conditions closely aligned with training data distributions, which are largely confined to forward-driving […]

Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiao-Dong Lin, Long Zhang, , , | Summary: While non-Hermitian (NH) topological phases and phenomena have been observed across various quantum systems, directly measuring NH topological invariants remains a significant challenge. In this study, we present a generic and unified framework for the direct measurement of various […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Shihan Lin, Yi Zhou, Xiao Zhang, Todd Arnold, Ramesh Govindan | Summary: Despite efforts from cloud and content providers to lower latency to acceptable levels for current and future services (e.g., augmented reality or cloud gaming), there are still opportunities for improvement. A major reason that traffic […]

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 […]

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 […]
