SPARS3R: Semantic Prior Alignment and Regularization for Sparse 3D Reconstruction

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Yutao Tang, Yuxiang Guo, Deming Li, Cheng Peng, | Summary: Recent efforts in Gaussian-Splat-based Novel View Synthesis can achieve photorealistic rendering; however, such capability is limited in sparse-view scenarios due to sparse initialization and over-fitting floaters. Recent progress in depth estimation and alignment can provide dense point […]

Diffusive dynamics of charge regulated macro-ion solutions

Kavli Affiliate: Rudolf Podgornik | First 5 Authors: Bin Zheng, Shigeyuki Komura, David Andelman, Rudolf Podgornik, | Summary: Onsager’s variational principle is generalized to address the diffusive dynamics of an electrolyte solution composed of charge-regulated macro-ions and counterions. The free energy entering the Rayleighian corresponds to the Poisson-Boltzmann theory augmented by the charge-regulation mechanism. The […]

ProteinWeaver: A Divide-and-Assembly Approach for Protein Backbone Design

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yiming Ma, Fei Ye, Yi Zhou, Zaixiang Zheng, Dongyu Xue | Summary: Nature creates diverse proteins through a ‘divide and assembly’ strategy. Inspired by this idea, we introduce ProteinWeaver, a two-stage framework for protein backbone design. Our method first generates individual protein domains and then employs an […]

Flat-space limit of defect correlators and stringy AdS form factors

Kavli Affiliate: Xinan Zhou | First 5 Authors: Luis F. Alday, Xinan Zhou, , , | Summary: We study AdS form factors, given by the Mellin representation for CFT correlators of local operators in the presence of extended defects. We propose a formula for taking (and expanding around) the flat-space limit. This formula relates the […]
