Positive-unlabeled (PU) learning addresses binary classification when only a set of labeled positives is available alongside a pool of unlabeled samples drawn from a mixture of positives and negatives. Existing PU methods typically require dataset-specific training or iterative optimization, which limits their applicability when many tasks must be solved quickly or with little tuning. We introduce PUICL, a pretrained transformer that solves PU classification entirely through in-context learning. PUICL is pretrained on synthetic PU datasets generated from randomly instantiated structural causal models, exposing it to a wide range of feature-label relationships and class-prior configurations. At inference time, PUICL receives the labeled positives and the unlabeled samples as a single input and returns class probabilities for the unlabeled rows in one forward pass, with no gradient updates or per-task fitting. On 20 semi-synthetic PU benchmarks derived from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, OpenML, and scikit-learn, PUICL outperforms four standard PU learning baselines in average AUC and accuracy, and is competitive on F1-score. These results show that the in-context learning paradigm extends naturally beyond fully supervised tabular prediction to the semi-supervised PU setting.

Based on these deeply fused representations, we finally generate the predicted answers with the visual-grounded generation decoder.

The default settings for finetuning on each dataset are shown in Table 1.

State-of-the-art deep neural networks are still struggling to address the catastrophic forgetting problem in continual learning. In this paper, we propose one simple paradigm (named as S-Prompting) and two concrete approaches to highly reduce the forgetting degree in one of the most typical continual learning scenarios, i.e., domain increment learning (DIL). The key idea of the paradigm is to learn prompts independently across domains with pre-trained transformers, avoiding the use of exemplars that commonly appear in conventional methods. This results in a win-win game where the prompting can achieve the best for each domain.

Diffusion models are powerful generative models but suffer from slow sampling, often taking 1000 sequential denoising steps for one sample. As a result, considerable efforts have been directed toward reducing the number of denoising steps, but these methods hurt sample quality. Instead of reducing the number of denoising steps (trading quality for speed), in this paper we explore an orthogonal approach: can we run the denoising steps in parallel (trading compute for speed)? In spite of the sequential nature of the denoising steps, we show that surprisingly it is possible to parallelize sampling via Picard iterations, by guessing the solution of future denoising steps and iteratively refining until convergence. With this insight, we present ParaDiGMS, a novel method to accelerate the sampling of pretrained diffusion models by denoising multiple steps in parallel. ParaDiGMS is the first diffusion sampling method that enables trading compute for speed and is even compatible with existing fast sampling techniques such as DDIM and DPMSolver. Using ParaDiGMS, we improve sampling speed by 2-4x across a range of robotics and image generation models, giving state-of-the-art sampling speeds of 0.2s on 100-step DiffusionPolicy and 14.6s on 1000-step StableDiffusion-v2 with no measurable degradation of task reward, FID score, or CLIP score.1

In this paper, we aim to tackle the challenging few-shot segmentation task from a new perspective. Typical methods follow the paradigm to firstly learn prototypical features from support images and then match query features in pixel-level to obtain segmentation results. However, to obtain satisfactory segments, such a paradigm needs to couple the learning of the matching operations with heavy segmentation modules, limiting the flexibility of design and increasing the learning complexity. To alleviate this issue, we propose Mask Matching Transformer (MM-Former), a new paradigm for the few-shot segmentation task. Specifically, MM-Former first uses a class-agnostic segmenter to decompose the query image into multiple segment proposals.

Adapting large-scale foundation models to new domains with limited supervision remains a fundamental challenge due to latent distribution mismatch, unstable optimization dynamics, and miscalibrated uncertainty propagation. This paper introduces an uncertainty-aware probabilistic latent transport framework that formulates domain adaptation as a stochastic geometric alignment problem in representation space. A Bayesian transport operator is proposed to redistribute latent probability mass along Wasserstein-type geodesic trajectories, while a PAC-Bayesian regularization mechanism constrains posterior model complexity to mitigate catastrophic overfitting. The proposed formulation yields theoretical guarantees on convergence stability, loss landscape smoothness, and sample efficiency under distributional shift. Empirical analyses demonstrate substantial reduction in latent manifold discrepancy, accelerated transport energy decay, and improved covariance calibration compared with deterministic fine-tuning and adversarial domain adaptation baselines. Furthermore, bounded posterior uncertainty evolution indicates enhanced probabilistic reliability during cross-domain transfer. By establishing a principled connection between stochastic optimal transport geometry and statistical generalization theory, the proposed framework provides new insights into robust adaptation of modern foundation architectures operating in heterogeneous environments. These findings suggest that uncertainty-aware probabilistic alignment constitutes a promising paradigm for reliable transfer learning in next-generation deep representation systems.

With the explosive growth of available training data, single-image 3D human modeling is ahead of a transition to a data-centric paradigm.A key to successfully exploiting data scale is to design flexible models that can be supervised from various heterogeneous data sources produced by different researchers or vendors.To this end, we propose a simple yet powerful paradigm for seamlessly unifying different human pose and shape-related tasks and datasets.Our formulation is centered on the ability - both at training and test time - to query any arbitrary point of the human volume, and obtain its estimated location in 3D.We achieve this by learning a continuous neural field of body point localizer functions, each of which is a differently parameterized 3D heatmap-based convolutional point localizer (detector).For generating parametric output, we propose an efficient post-processing step for fitting SMPL-family body models to nonparametric joint and vertex predictions.With this approach, we can naturally exploit differently annotated data sources including mesh, 2D/3D skeleton and dense pose, without having to convert between them, and thereby train large-scale 3D human mesh and skeleton estimation models that outperform the state-of-the-art on several public benchmarks including 3DPW, EMDB, EHF, SSP-3D and AGORA by a considerable margin.We release our code and models to foster downstream research.

Despite Flow Matching and diffusion models having emerged as powerful generative paradigms for continuous variables such as images and videos, their application to high-dimensional discrete data, such as language, is still limited. In this work, we present Discrete Flow Matching, a novel discrete flow paradigm designed specifically for generating discrete data. Discrete Flow Matching offers several key contributions: (i) it works with a general family of probability paths interpolating between source and target distributions; (ii) it allows for a generic formula for sampling from these probability paths using learned posteriors such as the probability denoiser ($x$-prediction) and noise-prediction ($\epsilon$-prediction); (iii) practically, focusing on specific probability paths defined with different schedulers improves generative perplexity compared to previous discrete diffusion and flow models; and (iv) by scaling Discrete Flow Matching models up to 1.7B parameters, we reach 6.7% Pass@1 and 13.4% Pass@10 on HumanEval and 6.7% Pass@1 and 20.6% Pass@10 on 1-shot MBPP coding benchmarks. Our approach is capable of generating high-quality discrete data in a non-autoregressive fashion, significantly closing the gap between autoregressive models and discrete flow models.
