Tencent Hunyuan3D-1.0: A Unified Framework for Text-to-3D and Image-to-3D Generation

While 3D generative models have greatly improved artists' workflows, the existing diffusion models for 3D generation suffer from slow generation and poor generalization. To address this issue, we propose a two-stage approach named Hunyuan3D-1.0 including a lite version and a standard version, that both support text- and image-conditioned generation. In the first stage, we employ a multi-view diffusion model that efficiently generates multi-view RGB in approximately 4 seconds. These multi-view images capture rich details of the 3D asset from different viewpoints, relaxing the tasks from single-view to multi-view reconstruction. In the second stage, we introduce a feed-forward reconstruction model that rapidly and faithfully reconstructs the 3D asset given the generated multi-view images in approximately 7 seconds. The reconstruction network learns to handle noises and in-consistency introduced by the multi-view diffusion and leverages the available information from the condition image to efficiently recover the 3D structure. Our framework involves the text-to-image model, i.e., Hunyuan-DiT, making it a unified framework to support both text- and image-conditioned 3D generation. Our standard version has 3x more parameters than our lite and other existing model. Our Hunyuan3D-1.0 achieves an impressive balance between speed and quality, significantly reducing generation time while maintaining the quality and diversity of the produced assets.

M3oE: Multi-Domain Multi-Task Mixture-of Experts Recommendation Framework

Multi-domain recommendation and multi-task recommendation have demonstrated their effectiveness in leveraging common information from different domains and objectives for comprehensive user modeling. Nonetheless, the practical recommendation usually faces multiple domains and tasks simultaneously, which cannot be well-addressed by current methods. To this end, we introduce M3oE, an adaptive multi-domain multi-task mixture-of-experts recommendation framework. M3oE integrates multi-domain information, maps knowledge across domains and tasks, and optimizes multiple objectives. We leverage three mixture-of-experts modules to learn common, domain-aspect, and task-aspect user preferences respectively to address the complex dependencies among multiple domains and tasks in a disentangled manner. Additionally, we design a two-level fusion mechanism for precise control over feature extraction and fusion across diverse domains and tasks. The framework's adaptability is further enhanced by applying AutoML technique, which allows dynamic structure optimization. To the best of the authors' knowledge, our M3oE is the first effort to solve multi-domain multi-task recommendation self-adaptively. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets against diverse baselines demonstrate M3oE's superior performance. The implementation code is available to ensure reproducibility.

Analog Feedback-Controlled Memristor programming Circuit for analog Content Addressable Memory

Recent breakthroughs in associative memories suggest that silicon memories are coming closer to human memories, especially for memristive Content Addressable Memories (CAMs) which are capable to read and write in analog values. However, the Program-Verify algorithm, the state-of-the-art memristor programming algorithm, requires frequent switching between verifying and programming memristor conductance, which brings many defects such as high dynamic power and long programming time. Here, we propose an analog feedback-controlled memristor programming circuit that makes use of a novel look-up table-based (LUT-based) programming algorithm. With the proposed algorithm, the programming and the verification of a memristor can be performed in a single-direction sequential process. Besides, we also integrated a single proposed programming circuit with eight analog CAM (aCAM) cells to build an aCAM array. We present SPICE simulations on TSMC 28nm process. The theoretical analysis shows that 1. A memristor conductance within an aCAM cell can be converted to an output boundary voltage in aCAM searching operations and 2. An output boundary voltage in aCAM searching operations can be converted to a programming data line voltage in aCAM programming operations. The simulation results of the proposed programming circuit prove the theoretical analysis and thus verify the feasibility to program memristors without frequently switching between verifying and programming the conductance. Besides, the simulation results of the proposed aCAM array show that the proposed programming circuit can be integrated into a large array architecture.
