Novel view synthesis (NVS) in degraded scenes aims to reconstruct 3D scenes from multi-view observations affected by various degradations, and to generate clear and photorealistic images at unseen viewpoints. Despite recent advances, existing methods often rely on degradation-specific models, limiting their generalization across diverse extreme environments. Generative models provide rich visual priors, but their outputs often suffer from pixel misalignment and color deviations, which can propagate into the reconstructed 3D scene and compromise reconstruction quality. Furthermore, the high computational and memory costs of 3D reconstruction hinder the practical application of NVS in extreme environments. To this end, we propose MLLM-GS, a multimodal large language model (MLLM) prior-guided framework for fast NVS in extreme environments. MLLM-GS consists of two branches: MLLM prior-guided view enhancement and fast 3D scene reconstruction. The former leverages the rich visual priors of a frozen MLLM to enhance views under different severe degradations and introduces a lightweight correction network to reduce pixel shifts and color distortions in MLLM outputs. With supervision from only a few paired clean views, this branch produces reliable enhanced views for all degraded observations, providing pseudo-GT views for subsequent 3D reconstruction. The latter improves 3DGS efficiency by optimizing rasterization, Gaussian memory layout, and parameter updates, reducing redundant computation, memory-access overhead, and optimization costs. Extensive experiments on multiple degraded scenes demonstrate that MLLM-GS effectively handles various severe degradations and achieves high-quality NVS with significantly lower reconstruction time and memory consumption.

Non-rigid point cloud registration depends on accurate correspondences under deformation and partial visibility. Existing coarse-to-fine methods use coarse matches to select regions for fine matching, but incorrect selection can remove valid correspondences before refinement. We introduce \paper, a conditional transport framework that connects coarse correspondence estimation to high-resolution matching. A diffusion model first estimates a coarse matching matrix. We lift the complete estimate to a fine-level source matrix and refine its scores with a geometry-conditioned bridge. We consider two bridge formulations: a deterministic endpoint-parameterized flow and a stochastic paired Brownian bridge with endpoint and noise prediction. At each step, the current matrix provides an alignment for the next prediction. Both models reuse backbone features throughout inference. Experiments on 4DMatch and 4DLoMatch show improved correspondence and non-rigid registration accuracy. The models also transfer to CAPE and DeepDeform without target-domain training. Ablations examine the roles of candidate coverage, source initialization, and refinement budget.

Solving large-scale multiparametric quadratic programs (mpQPs) in real time often requires thousands of iterative optimization updates, creating a major computational bottleneck in model predictive control and learning-enabled systems. This paper proposes TQPNet, a self-supervised neural compression framework that learns to compress long ADMM optimization trajectories into a compact neural warm start followed by a few refinement iterations. We derive a low-dimensional ADMM scheme operating on the primal-dual variables $(x,β)$ and show that its iteration admits an equivalent ReLU-layer representation, termed ADMM(ReLU). Building on this insight, TQPNet combines a multilayer perceptron with ReLU activations (MLP(ReLU)) and a small number of unrolled ADMM(ReLU) refinement layers. The network is trained offline using an optimality-condition-informed residual loss, eliminating the need for solver-generated labels. The proposed residual-based framework enables both self-supervised training and online solution certification through adaptive ADMM(ReLU) refinement. Experiments on large-scale mpQPs and real-time MPC applications demonstrate that TQPNet achieves high accuracy, strong generalization, and substantially faster inference than conventional optimization-based methods.
Large-scale linear programs with millions of variables and constraints strain time and memory budgets. First-order methods such as the primal-dual hybrid gradient scale to this regime because they avoid matrix factorizations, but they require many iterations. Learned accelerators can reduce these iterations, yet fewer iterations do not guarantee a shorter solve. Learning inference also takes time, and running the accelerator longer trades solver time for inference time. Existing unrolled accelerators handle this trade-off poorly: each layer processes every variable and constraint, the predicted iterates still need solver refinement, and every instance runs the same layers. We therefore ask: What neural accelerator design achieves end-to-end speedups on large-scale linear programs across sizes and target accuracies? We introduce AHEAD, an accelerator that predicts step sizes for first-order linear programming solvers while keeping their update rules. Its weight-shared predictor reads compact solver statistics and rescales the primal and dual step sizes, so each warm-start iteration stays inexpensive and a short warm-start phase hands the solver a warm start. A learned handoff policy sets the number of warm-start iterations for each instance and target accuracy, after which the solver finishes under its own termination criterion. On packing linear programs with up to $10^7$ variables, AHEAD achieves $6.5$--$11.6\times$ end-to-end speedups over Gurobi's first-order solver from a cold start, including on instances of unseen sizes and distributions. The gains extend to PageRank linear programs and hold across difficulty levels and target accuracies.

Large Language Models (LLMs) often fail to utilize their latent reasoning capabilities due to a distributional mismatch between ambiguous human inquiries and the structured logic required for machine activation. Existing alignment methods either incur prohibitive O(N) costs by fine-tuning each model individually or rely on static prompts that fail to resolve query-level structural complexity. In this paper, we propose ReQueR (Reinforcement Query Refinement), a modular framework that treats reasoning elicitation as an inference-time alignment task. We train a specialized Refiner policy via Reinforcement Learning to rewrite raw queries into explicit logical decompositions, treating frozen LLMs as the environment. Rooted in the classical Zone of Proximal Development from educational psychology, we introduce the Adaptive Solver Hierarchy, a curriculum mechanism that stabilizes training by dynamically aligning environmental difficulty with the Refiner’s evolving competence. ReQueR yields consistent absolute gains of 1.3%–7.2% across diverse architectures and benchmarks, outperforming strong baselines by 2.1% on average. Crucially, it provides a promising paradigm for one-to-many inference-time reasoning elicitation, enabling a single Refiner trained on a small set of models to effectively unlock reasoning in diverse unseen Solvers.
