D^2-4DGS: Dual-Depth Guided Sparse-Camera 4D Gaussian Splatting2608.01588AuthorsJijian ZhaoAbstractDynamic 4D Gaussian Splatting has emerged as an efficient representation for dynamic novel view synthesis through explicit scene modeling and real-time rendering. However, existing methods typically require dense multi-view videos for sufficient geometric constraints, making capture expensive and limiting sparse-camera deployment. Reducing input views lowers acquisition cost but weakens geometry supervision, often causing missing structures and floating Gaussians. Depth priors provide geometric cues, yet no single source offers both dense coverage and reliable geometry. Monocular depth provides dense structure but is scale-ambiguous and locally biased, whereas multi-view geometric depth provides incomplete anchors consistent with the reconstruction coordinate system. To exploit their complementarity, we propose D$^2$-4DGS, a sparse-camera dynamic 4D Gaussian Splatting framework guided by dual-source depth priors. We align monocular estimates with valid multi-view geometric depths and verify their consistency to identify reliable geometric anchors. These verified anchors support consistency-aware pruning and depth supervision, while verified geometric depths and aligned mono-only estimates provide candidate geometry for densification in under-reconstructed regions. Finally, RGB-D joint optimization improves appearance fidelity and geometric consistency under sparse-view supervision. Across all nine dataset--view settings, D$^2$-4DGS achieves the highest PSNR, improving by 1.33 dB on average over the best competing method in each setting.ResourcesView on Hugging FaceRead PDFArXiv

ResearchLearning When to Trust via Selective Context Preference Optimization
Language models increasingly condition their answers on external signals, and a single misleading one can turn a correct answer wrong. The obvious remedy, training models to resist such signals, hides a failure mode: a model that ignores all context looks robust yet is useless when the context is worth trusting. We recast the problem as selective trust and introduce MIST, a human-annotated benchmark that renders each reasoning item under four matched conditions (clean, misleading, correct-context, and irrelevant-context), together with SC2W, a paired metric counting how often a misle

ResearchTracing the Heart: An Evidence-Linked Pipeline for Heart-Failure Feature Engineering
Electronic health record (EHR) feature engineering is a major bottleneck in clinical research and AI, accounting for 39-45% of data scientists' workload. This is especially pronounced in heart failure, which affects an estimated 6.7 million U.S. adults and requires integrating fragmented EHR data with disease-specific, guideline-based clinical reasoning. Existing rule-based and large language model (LLM)-based approaches offer only partial automation with limited maintainability and evidence traceability. We developed the Nimblemind Multi-Agent System (nMAS), an evidence-linked, rubr
