Consistent Video-to-Video Translation via Explicit Correspondences
Gaurav Parmar, Zhengqi Li, Richard Zhang and 4 more
Interactive video-to-video applications require real-time generation while maintaining long-range temporal consistency. However, recent methods achieve speed by restricting attention to a fixed-length causal window. This limits long-range consistency whenever relevant history falls outside the context window. To address this limitation, we introduce vid2vid-long, a correspondence-based approach grounded in a simple observation. Video-to-video translation provides an explicit cross-frame reference: the regions that match in the input video should match in the output video too. Concretely, we compute patch-level correspondences in the input, guiding retrieval of previously generated outputs in the corresponding regions, and condition the model on these patches through correspondence cross-attention. Our experiments demonstrate that vid2vid-long consistently improves long-range temporal consistency across recent video models while preserving generation quality and real-time performance.

TuMAP: A Dual-View, Morphotype-Aware Pathomics Pipeline for Quantifying Renal Tubular Remodeling
Ruijie Wu, Yuechen Yang, Yanfan Zhu and 8 more
Quantifying disease-associated renal tubular remodeling is challenging because tubular appearances are heterogeneous. We introduce TuMAP (Tubular Morphotype-Aware Pathomics), a pipeline combining (1) dual-view foundation-model representations and provisional morphotype annotation, (2) compositional and within-morphotype pathomics, and (3) patient-level statistical inference. From 456,158 tubules in 358 PAS-stained kidney biopsy slides, TuMAP identified eight image-based morphotypes, seven of which showed stable subsampling assignments. Across 219 patients in six diagnostic groups, diabetic nephropathy (DN) and tubulointerstitial nephritis/acute tubular injury (TIN/ATI) each differed from minimal change disease in seven morphotype proportions, while IgA nephropathy differed in six. DN showed reduced nuclear solidity and increased eccentricity across all eight morphotypes. Area-normalized nuclear density exposed additional within-morphotype differences. TuMAP provides a framework for separating changes in tubular morphotype composition from phenotypic differences within morphotypes.

STeP-C: Real-Time Neural Compression for Distributed Fiber-Optic Sensing at Scale
Tingfeng Li, Ming-Fang Huang, Shaobo Han and 1 more
Distributed fiber-optic sensing (DFOS) technologies such as Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) generate continuous, high-resolution spatio-temporal data at rates exceeding hundreds of megabytes per second, creating severe challenges for real-time storage and transmission. While neural compression methods can achieve strong rate-distortion performance on sensing data, prior approaches either require per-segment retraining incompatible with streaming, or have only been validated offline. None have been demonstrated end-to-end on a continuously streaming DAS acquisition system at scale. We present STeP-C (Spatio-Temporal Predictive Compression), a neural compression framework that decouples spatial encoding, temporal prediction, and entropy-optimized residual coding, trained end-to-end with a rate-distortion objective motivated by conditional entropy reduction. Critically, we identify entropy coding as the dominant bottleneck for streaming deployment. We address it through GPU-side symbol computation, cached probability tables, and parallel GIL-free arithmetic coding, together with FP16 inference and batched entropy coding, enabling a full real-time pipeline built around a GPU ring buffer. We validate this pipeline on a live DAS testbed, achieving a 98.85% file size reduction at 31.04 dB full-band PSNR and an average throughput of 535 MB/s, exceeding the 324 MB/s requirement for 1 kHz, 81 km DAS streams. We further show that STeP-C substantially outperforms conventional codecs at practical streaming bitrates, can be applied to unseen channel ranges within the same acquisition system without retraining, and largely maintains downstream detector consistency, with 96.62% high-confidence class agreement and 100% Jaccard similarity on detected event types.

Validation-Guided Prompt Selection for Differential Morphing Attack Detection
Raghavendra Ramachandra, Hailin Li
Differential morphing attack detection (D-MAD) compares a trusted live capture with a document image that may contain a facial morph. We investigate whether labelled validation data can improve a frozen-parameter vision-language evaluator through prompt selection rather than model fine-tuning. Version~1 generates 50 candidate prompts and selects the top-ranked instruction using a security-oriented loss that prioritises missed morph attacks (MACER) while accounting for bona fide classification errors (BSCER), response failures, parse failures, and decision inconsistency. Version~2 recursively revises prompts using aggregate validation feedback. On a subject-disjoint test set of 160 pairs spanning LMA, MIPGAN-2, and PIPE, the selected Version~1 prompt achieves a (19.17\%) morph attack classification error rate (MACER), with (0.00\%) observed bona fide sample classification error rate (BSCER), compared with (70.00\%) MACER for a controlled manual prompt. The paired (50.83) percentage-point difference has a (95\%) subject-bootstrap interval of ([43.33,58.33]). Recursive revision does not surpass the best Generation~0 validation loss; the reported revised descendant obtains (31.67\%) test MACER. All 23 attacks missed by Version~1 are landmark-based (LMA) morphs. Overall, the results show that prompt formulation can substantially influence frozen-parameter VLM-based D-MAD performance, while also highlighting the challenge of recursive prompt refinement under a compact 10-subject validation setting.

Predicting Ethanol Drinking Status from Nonhuman Primate Liver Histology: A Proof of Concept for Parameter-efficient Fine-tuning in Few-Shot Vision-Language Modeling
Amirmohammad Mohammadi, Rupak Khadka, Kathleen A. Grant and 2 more
Combining vision-language models (VLMs) with parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) offers a promising approach to few-shot whole-slide image (WSI) classification in computational pathology. This study evaluates this approach for predicting ethanol drinking status from nonhuman primate liver histology. Adapters are evaluated against non-PEFT configurations on a subset of the Monkey Alcohol Tissue Research Resource (MATRR). All evaluated PEFT configurations achieve higher mean balanced accuracy than the non-PEFT baselines. For example, in the four-shot setting, attention-based multiple instance learning (ABMIL) alone achieves 43.5% mean balanced accuracy, compared with 78.1% after adding an adapter. Qualitative attention analysis shows that textual pathway adaptations produce localized attention heatmaps, while visual pathway adaptations produce more diffuse ones. A pathologist's review identified similar histological features across adaptations.
