WFS-SB diagram showing query relevance signal, wavelet transform, and semantic boundaries2026

CVPR 2026

Wavelet-based Frame Selection by Detecting Semantic Boundary for Long Video Understanding

Wang Chen, Yuhui Zeng, Yongdong Luo, Tianyu Xie, Luojun Lin, Jiayi Ji, Yan Zhang, Xiawu Zheng

Detects semantic boundaries from a noisy query-frame relevance signal, then allocates frame budgets by segment importance. The training-free method improves VideoMME, MLVU, and LongVideoBench by 5.5, 9.5, and 6.2 points.

QuoTA performance curves under different visual token budgets2026

QuoTA: Query-oriented Token Assignment via CoT Query Decouple for Long Video Comprehension

Yongdong Luo*, Wang Chen*, Weizhong Huang, Shukang Yin, Haojia Lin, Jinfa Huang, Chaoyou Fu, Jiayi Ji, Xiawu Zheng, Jiebo Luo

Allocates visual tokens to frames before cross-modal interaction. CoT turns a complex query into scorable clues, improving six video benchmarks by 3.2 points on average under the same token budget.

Customized face beautification pipeline with face encoding, reconstruction, and aesthetics-guided refinement2023

ICASSP 2023 · Equal contribution

Customized Automatic Face Beautification

Wang Chen*, Peizhen Chen*, Weijie Chen, Luojun Lin

Uses facial-aesthetics-guided StyleGAN inversion to match a user-specified target score while preserving identity information.

Training-free multimodal orchestration pipeline from unified inputs through LLM orchestration to unified outputs2026

ICML 2026

Training-Free Multimodal Large Language Model Orchestration

Tianyu Xie, Yuexiao Ma, Yuhang Wu, Wang Chen, Jiayi Ji, Tat-Seng Chua, Xiawu Zheng, Rongrong Ji

Combines off-the-shelf modality experts without additional training through an LLM controller, textualized cross-modal memory, and a full-duplex interaction layer.

EFS pipeline for event partitioning, anchor localization, and global refinement2026

arXiv preprint · Equal contribution

Event-Anchored Frame Selection for Effective Long-Video Understanding

Wang Chen*, Yongdong Luo*, Yuhui Zeng, Luojun Lin, Tianyu Xie, Fei Chao, Rongrong Ji, Xiawu Zheng

Partitions video into coherent events, localizes a query-relevant anchor in each event, and applies adaptive MMR for global refinement across coverage, relevance, and diversity.

Real-time interactive face beautification through target-score interpolation across an aesthetic hyperplane2024

SSRN preprint

Real-Time Interactive Face Beautification

Luojun Lin, Wang Chen, Peizhen Chen, Xiawu Zheng, Lianwen Jin

Constructs an aesthetics hyperplane and interpolates directly in latent space for real-time, target-score-controlled editing with identity preservation.

SocialOmni benchmark overview, task design, and omni-model performance2026

arXiv preprint

SocialOmni: Benchmarking Audio-Visual Social Interactivity in Omni Models

Tianyu Xie, Jinfa Huang, Yuexiao Ma, Rongfang Luo, Yan Yang, Wang Chen, Yuhui Zeng, Yixuan Zou, Qingchuan Ma, Zhiqiang Lu, Ruize Fang, Xiawu Zheng, Jiebo Luo, Rongrong Ji

Evaluates audio-visual social interaction through speaker perception, interruption timing, and response behavior, exposing gaps between perception accuracy and interaction quality.

WaveZip pipeline for wavelet-driven space-time video token condensation2026

arXiv preprint

WaveZip: Wavelet-Driven Space-Time Decoupling for Video Token Condensation

Yuhui Zeng, Wang Chen, Jinfa Huang, Tianyu Xie, Yongdong Luo, Jiayi Ji, Xiawu Zheng, Jiebo Luo

Uses spatial-temporal decoupled wavelet analysis to allocate frame-level budgets and compress spatial tokens while preserving performance at high compression ratios.

MEC method for reusable sparse indexing, evidence discovery, and matryoshka any-budget frame ranking2026

arXiv preprint

One Ranking, Any Budget: Matryoshka Evidence-to-Context Frame Selection for Long-Video Understanding

Wang Chen, Yu Chen, Xiang Wang, Shuai Li, Jinfa Huang, Xiawu Zheng

Produces a single frame priority ranking that can be truncated at any budget, progressively expanding from local evidence to temporal context while avoiding repeated selection.
