🌟 FlowScene: Style-Consistent Indoor Scene Generation with Multimodal Graph Rectified Flow

Venue: arXiv 2026 Track: indoor

A graph-based rectified-flow approach to style-consistent indoor scene generation.

🌟 VectorWorld: Efficient Streaming World Model via Diffusion Flow on Vector Graphs

Venue: arXiv 2026 Track: autonomous-driving Org: Independent Source: Open

VectorWorld is a streaming autonomous-driving world model that incrementally generates ego-centric lane-agent vector-graph tiles during rollout. It uses a motion-aware VAE and one-step masked completion on vector graphs to achieve stable, real-time long-horizon simulation. The work is valuable because it targets policy-compatible closed-loop generation instead of offline video-only realism.

📬 Daily Candidate Inbox

Each report lists only candidates never surfaced before (a delta, not a re-scan). A day with 0 new items is normal — it means nothing new yet cleared the 2025-01-01+ scope and quality bar.

⚙️ Curation Pipeline

Daily harvesting (2025-01-01+ floor, true-novelty dates, quality score, dedupe ledger)
  -> metadata/candidates/YYYY-MM-DD/ -> human review -> data/*.jsonl
  -> fast validate (schema/scope/dedupe, every push) -> build -> publish
  -> weekly deep validate (live links + stars, non-blocking to daily)
🛠️ Build & maintenance commands
# fast: schema, vocab, dedupe, 2025+ scope -- no network, runs on every push
python scripts/validate_data.py --skip-network

# deep: also verifies every exact link + refreshes GitHub star/license cache (weekly)
python scripts/validate_data.py --write-cache
