CompressedVQA-AEV: Full-Reference and No-Reference Quality Assessment Models for Asymmetric Encoded Videos

Wei Sun, Xingwei Liu, Dandan Zhu, Xiangyang Zhu, Weixia Zhang, Guangtao Zhai

This report presents our solutions to the QoMEX 2026 Grand Challenge on Video Quality Assessment for Asymmetric Encoded Videos, comprising a full-reference (FR) model, CompressedVQA-AEV-FR, and a no-reference (NR) model, CompressedVQA-AEV-NR. The FR approach leverages a Swin-B backbone to extract multi-stage similarity statistics between reference and distorted videos for quality prediction. For the NR setting, our model employs complementary frame-level encoders based on SigLIP2 and Swin-B, followed by temporal mean pooling and cross-fold ensembling to estimate perceptual quality without reference data. Our CompressedVQA-AEV-FR achieves first place in the FR track of QoMEX 2026 Grand Challenge, while CompressedVQA-AEV-NR secures fourth place in the NR track, demonstrating the effectiveness of our proposed models. The code is available at https://github.com/sunwei925/CompressedVQA-AEV.

Group-of-Latents: Perceptual Video Compression at Extreme Bitrates via Masked Latent Generative Modeling

Shaokang Wang, Jinchang Xu, Peidong Jia, Zhijian Hao, Siyuan Qian, Fei Zhao, et al.

Most existing video compression algorithms follow a paradigm of transformation and quantization, optimizing the trade-off between distortion and bitrate. However, extremely low-bitrate compression remains an underexplored frontier where perceptual quality optimization under sever…

Beyond Metadata: CAPRA for Hidden Subgroup Analysis under Missing Metadata in Medical Imaging

Yawen Li, Yan Li, Zhe Xue, Yingxia Shao, Meiyu Liang, Guanhua Ye

Medical imaging models are often deployed without the demographic, acquisition, and quality metadata needed for subgroup auditing. Once those metadata disappear, clinically critical failure modes can be masked by strong aggregate performance, and many robust-learning methods lose…

Label-Free Target-Domain Adaptation for Unconstrained Event-Image Feature Matching via Dual-Stage Distillation

Zhonghua Yi, Hao Shi, Qi Jiang, Yufan Zhang, Kailun Yang, Kaiwei Wang

Building pixel-level correspondence between event and image data is a fundamental task for multi-sensor systems. However, existing cross-modal matching methods are largely restricted by their reliance on either matching labels or strictly aligned hardware, which limits them to un…
