StoryState: Agent-Based State Control for Consistent and Editable Storybooks
Ayushman Sarkar, Zhenyu Yu, Wei Tang +3
Large multimodal models have enabled one-click storybook generation, where users provide a short description and receive a multi-page illustrated story. However, the underlying sto…
ReDiStory: Region-Disentangled Diffusion for Consistent Visual Story Generation
Ayushman Sarkar, Zhenyu Yu, Chu Chen +3
Generating coherent visual stories requires maintaining subject identity across multiple images while preserving frame-specific semantics. Recent training-free methods concatenate…
Rethinking Key-frame-based Micro-expression Recognition: A Robust and Accurate Framework Against Key-frame Errors
Zheyuan Zhang, Weihao Tang, Hong Chen
Micro-expression recognition (MER) is a highly challenging task in affective computing. With the reduced-sized micro-expression (ME) input that contains key information based on ke…
Learning Primitive Embodied World Models: Towards Scalable Robotic Learning
Qiao Sun, Liujia Yang, Wei Tang +12
While video-generation-based embodied world models have gained increasing attention, their reliance on large-scale embodied interaction data remains a key bottleneck. The scarcity,…
RigLSTM: Recurrent Independent Grid LSTM for Generalizable Sequence Learning
Ziyu Wang, Wenhao Jiang, Zixuan Zhang +2
Sequential processes in real-world often carry a combination of simple subsystems that interact with each other in certain forms. Learning such a modular structure can often improv…
