VideoRAE: Taming Video Foundation Models for Generative Modeling via Representation Autoencoders
Video generative models commonly rely on latent spaces learned by 3D Variational Autoencoders (3D-VAEs). However, conventional 3D-VAEs are mainly optimized for pixel-level reconstruction, which can limit the semantic and spatio-temporal structure captured by their latents. Meanwhile, Video Foundation Models (VFMs) such as V-JEPA 2 and VideoMAEv2 show strong video understanding capabilities, yet whether their frozen representations can be transformed into compact, reconstruction-capable, and generation-friendly video latents remains largely unexplored. We answer this question with VideoRAE, a r
CommuniWave:A Machine Learning Model for Quantifying the Degree of Temporary Informal Behavior in Urban Communities
For urban managers and designers, improving the functional attributes of urban communities to enhance territorial resilience in the face of complexity and uncertainty is crucial. Currently, community planning often follows a top-down approach and lacks effective metrics to quantify informal behaviors of residents, leading to frequent conflicts with original plans. This study introduces CommuniWave, a machine learning model designed to efficiently detect and quantify the Degree of Informal Behavior (DIB) in urban communities. The model integrates a Behavior Capture Net (BCN) based on mmaction2,
