Multi-scale Grouped Dense Network for VVC Intra Coding
Versatile Video Coding (H.266/VVC) standard achieves better image quality when keeping the same bits than any other conventional image codec, such as BPG, JPEG, and etc. However, it is still attractive and challenging to improve the image quality with high compression ratio on the basis of traditional coding techniques. In this paper, we design the multi-scale grouped dense network (MSGDN) to further reduce the compression artifacts by combining the multi-scale and grouped dense block, which are integrated as the post-process network of VVC intra coding. Besides, to improve the subjective quality of compressed image, we also present a generative adversarial network (MSGDN-GAN) by utilizing our MSGDN as generator. Across the extensive experiments on validation set, our MSGDN trained by MSE losses yields the PSNR of 32.622 on average with teams IMC at the bit-rate of 0.15 in Lowrate track. Moreover, our MSGDN-GAN could achieve the better subjective performance.

Locally Grouped and Scale-Guided Attention for Dense Pest Counting
This study introduces a new dense pest counting problem to predict densely distributed pests captured by digital traps. Unlike traditional detection-based counting models for sparsely distributed objects, trap-based pest…
Grouped Query Experts: Mixture-of-Experts on GQA Self-Attention
Self-attention is central to Transformer performance and is often the most expensive part of the Transformer at long context lengths because its pairwise token interactions scale quadratically with sequence length. Stand…
Generative Dense Retrieval: Memory Can Be a Burden
Generative Retrieval (GR), autoregressively decoding relevant document identifiers given a query, has been shown to perform well under the setting of small-scale corpora. By memorizing the document corpus with model para…
RetrievalGrouped Value Attention: Efficient KV Caching via On-Demand Key Reconstruction
The KV cache is a primary bottleneck for Transformer decoding: its memory footprint and cache-read traffic grow with sequence length. Grouped-query attention (GQA) reduces this cost by sharing key-value heads, but still …
