Treating pretrained vision embeddings as temporary scaffolding to inject and internalize—rather than passive alignment targets—slashes diffusion transformer training budgets by over 43×.

EHR (Emotion Hallucination Rate), an evaluator that quantifies emotion hallucinations across six facets, and HMER (Hallucination-aware Memory-guided Emotion Reasoning), a training-free framework for emotion hallucination mitigation, which enables fine-grained mitigation across diverse hallucination facets.

The challenge revealed that innovative techniques can significantly enhance visibility for autonomous vehicles in rainy conditions, a key hurdle for safe navigation.
