Scaling DPPs for RAG: Density Meets Diversity

arXiv:2604.03240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances Large Language Models (LLMs) by grounding generation in external knowledge, yielding relevance responses that are aligned with factual evidence and evolving corpora. Standard RAG pipelines construct context through relevance ranking, performing point-wise scoring between the user query and each corpora chunk. This formulation, however, ignores interactions among retrieved candidates, leading to redundant contexts that dilute density and fail to surface complementary evidence. We argue that effective retrieval should optimize jointly for both density and diversity, ensuring the grounding evidence that is dense in information yet diverse in coverage. In this study, we propose ScalDPP, a diversity-aware retrieval mechanism for RAG that incorporates Determinantal Point Processes (DPPs) through a lightweight P-Adapter, enabling scalable modeling of inter-chunk dependencies and complementary context selection. In addition, we develop a novel set-level objective, Diverse Margin Loss (DML), that enforces ground-truth complementary evidence chains to dominate any equally sized redundant alternatives under DPP geometry. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of ScalDPP, substantiating our core statement in practice.

From 2D Alignment to 3D Plausibility: Unifying Heterogeneous 2D Priors and Penetration-Free Diffusion for Occlusion-Robust Two-Hand Reconstruction

arXiv:2503.17788v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Two-hand reconstruction from monocular images is hampered by complex poses and severe occlusions, which often cause interaction misalignment and two-hand penetration. We address this by decoupling the problem into 2D structural alignment and 3D spatial interaction alignment, each handled by a tailored component. For 2D alignment, we pioneer the attempt to unify heterogeneous structural priors (keypoints, segmentation, and depth) from vision foundation models as complementary structured guidance for two-hand recovery. Instead of extracting priors prediction as explicit inputs, we propose a fusion-alignment encoder that absorbs their structural knowledge implicitly, achieving foundation-level guidance without foundation-level cost. For 3D spatial alignment, we propose a two-hand penetration-free diffusion model that learns a generative mapping from interpenetrated poses to realistic, collision-free configurations. Guided by collision gradients during denoising, the model converges toward the manifold of valid two-hand interactions, preserving geometric and kinematic coherence. This generative formulation approach enables physically credible reconstructions even under occlusion or ambiguous visual input. Extensive experiments on InterHand2.6M and HIC show state-of-the-art or leading performance in interaction alignment and penetration suppression. Project: https://gaogehan.github.io/A2P/
