Identity-preserving video generation aims to maintain a subject's identity while synthesizing realistic videos. Yet a single reference portrait captures the subject's appearance under only one facial configuration. As expressions change, facial appearance can vary in highly identity-specific ways, leaving the subject's …

Physical world modeling requires predicting how interactions change a scene, not merely generating coherent motion. We propose STRIKE, a framework that separates visual state transition learning from dense video generation. We construct event-aligned supervision by extracting observed states from training videos and pa …

Illusory matches between distinct yet visually similar 3D surfaces--doppelgangers--remain a fundamental obstacle for large-scale, in-the-wild 3D reconstruction and visual localization. Prior work mitigates this issue with pairwise classifiers, but this design limits multi-view contextual reasoning and incurs O(n^2) inf …
