HumanNOVA: Photorealistic, Universal and Rapid 3D Human Avatar Modeling from a Single Image
Hezhen Hu, Wangbo Zhao, Lanqing Guo +6
In this paper, we present HumanNOVA, a photorealistic, universal, and rapid model for generating 3D human avatars from a single RGB image. Achieving both photorealism and generaliz…
Not All Synthetic Data Is Yours to Learn From
Sina Alemohammad, Li Chen, Richard G. Baraniuk +1
Can a language model improve from plain text sampled from itself, with no prompts, no teacher, no verifier, and no reward model? Yes, but only when the synthetic corpus is compatib…
When Is Rank-1 Steering Cheap? Geometry, Granularity, and Budgeted Search
John T. Robertson, Jianing Zhu, Haris Vikalo +1
Activation steering offers a lightweight way to control LLMs without retraining, but its effectiveness varies sharply across concepts. Prior work often reads this variability as ev…
Lean Refactor: Multi-Objective Controllable Proof Optimization via Agentic Strategy Search
Jialin Lu, Soonho Kong, Rodrigo Stehling +4
We present Lean Refactor, a plug-and-play retrieval-augmented agentic framework for multi-objective, controllable, and version-robust refactoring of Lean proofs. LLM-generated proo…
Position: Weight Space Should Be a First-Class Generative AI Modality
Zhangyang Wang, Peihao Wang, Kai Wang
Neural network checkpoints have quietly become a large-scale data resource: millions of trained weight vectors now exist, each encoding task-, domain-, and architecture-specific kn…
Good Agentic Friends Do Not Just Give Verbal Advice: They Can Update Your Weights
Wenrui Bao, Huan Wang, Jian Wang +3
Multi-agent LLM systems usually collaborate by exchanging natural-language messages. This interface is simple and interpretable, but it forces each sender's intermediate computatio…
