EvolvED: Evolutionary Embeddings to Understand the Generation Process of Diffusion Models
EvolvED visualises how diffusion models generate images by embedding intermediate outputs to preserve semantics and evolutionary structure. It supports analysis via (a) user‐defined goals and prompts, (b) sampling intermediate images, (c) extracting relevant features, and (d) visualising them in structured radial and rectilinear layouts for ...

Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling
Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

Multi‐Spectral Gaussian Splatting with Neural Color Representation
Abstract 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) [KKLD23] has transformed novel‐view synthesis from RGB images, yet remains restricted to the visible spectrum. Many applications, including agricultural monitoring, rely on multi‐spectral imaging, where spectral camera alignment and scalability pose major challenges.

Fast Injective Mesh Parameterization via Beltrami Coefficient Prolongation
Abstract We present a highly efficient and robust method for free boundary injective parameterization of disk‐like triangle meshes with low isometric distortion. Harmonic function–based approaches, grounded in a strong mathematical framework, are widely employed.

Layer3D: A 3D Layered Representation for Multiview Vector Graphics
Abstract We present Layer3D, a novel 3D neural representation that models objects as collections of decomposable neural implicit primitives. These primitives enable the generation of layered images with consistent correspondences across viewpoints, establishing a flexible framework for multiview vector graphics decomposition.

Edge‐preserving noise for diffusion models
Abstract Classical diffusion models typically rely on isotropic Gaussian noise, treating all regions uniformly and overlooking structural information important for high‐quality generation. We introduce an edge‐preserving diffusion process that generalizes isotropic models via a hybrid noise scheme with an edge‐aware scheduler that smoothly transitions ...

CANRIG: Cross‐Attention Neural Face Rigging with Variable Local Control
Abstract Facial animation is one of the most labor‐intensive aspects of animation and VFX, as traditional rigging consumes weeks of expert time and forces animators to spend countless hours manipulating hundreds of controls to achieve varied expressions.

A Comparative User Study on Control‐Flow Visualizations of Event Log Data
This paper compares seven commonly used control‐flow visualizations using a formal user study with 48 participants. Directly‐Follows Graphs (DFGs), Petri nets, Business Process Model and Notations, Process trees, variant timelines, Icicle plots, and Sankey visualizations are evaluated on their performance on different tasks, understandability, and user
