High-fidelity image-to-3D generation requires a 3D representation that captures both geometry and appearance. To support relighting and integration into standard rendering pipelines, the representation should include physically based rendering (PBR) modalities such as albedo, metallic-roughness, and surface normals. We propose Luce, a 3D representation that unifies geometry and PBR materials within a voxelized multimodal Gaussian…
Supervised fine-tuning on teacher-generated trajectories is the standard first stage for distilling tool-calling capabilities into deployable models. Post-training pipelines that drive shipped tool-calling agents re-run this stage on a daily or weekly cadence, paying the frontier-teacher cost each cycle, yet the mechanism is generate-and-filter (keep the teacher’s passing trajectories, discard the rest) and each cycle…
Unified multimodal models that understand, reason over, and generate interleaved text–image sequences remain structurally fragmented: existing approaches either sacrifice visual fidelity through discrete tokenization, impose structural asymmetry by combining causal text generation with iterative diffusion-based denoising, or degrade pretrained understanding when adapting vision-language models for generation. We observe that autoregressive normalizing flows are autoregressive Transformers—sharing…
Code-switching (CS), alternating languages within the same utterance, poses significant challenges for automatic speech recognition (ASR) due to limited CS training data. This paper applies an iterative pseudo-labeling training approach to CS-ASR for the first time, demonstrating its effectiveness in leveraging unlabeled data to improve CS-ASR performance. The approach comprises three phases: pseudo-label generation, two-stage…
