Efficient Gaussian Splatting Sequence Compression with Standard Video Codecs

Qi Yang, Shuting Xia, Le Yang et al. · 2026

This paper presents a novel effective Gaussian Splatting (GS) sequence Compression method that utilizes the Video codec (GSCV). Existing video-based GS sequence compression relies on the Parallel Linear Assignment Sorting (PLAS) and tracked primitive information to convert GS into smooth 2D videos. However, tracked inf …

How Far Are We from Removing the Visual Encoder? Scaling Laws for Encoder-Free Multimodal Pretraining

Lin Chen, Bolin Ni, Qi Yang et al. · 2026

Most modern multimodal large language models (MLLMs) build on a pretrained visual encoder that provides a strong visual prior. Encoder-free MLLMs instead learn visual representations directly from raw pixels, offering a simple and unified architecture, but their scaling behavior has not been systematically characterize …
