How To Use
1. Map the target venue to a family above. 2. Load references/venue-adapters.md for the family-specific writing priorities. 3. Verify any venue-specific review form and submission page before final writing decisions. 4. If the paper targets a special track, use the track call as a stronger source than this generic map.
Citation Workflow
Use this file for every paper draft that requires references. The goal is to produce a manuscript where citations are plentiful, natural, and correct—not sparse and parenthetical.
Core Principle
Search → Bib → Cite. Never write a citation from memory or guess a bib entry. Every citation must originate from a verified bib entry stored in the project's .bib file.
The Problem With Sparse Citations
A CCF-A submission with fewer than25–40 references (for AI/ML/CV/NLP papers) signals shallow literature engagement. The introduction and related work alone should carry15–25 citations. The method and experiments add another10–20. An under-cited paper reads as naive or uninformed.
Citation Density Rules
| Section | Minimum citations | Typical range | What to cite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abstract | 0 | 0 | Rarely needed; cite only a defining prior work if essential |
| Introduction | 8 | 12—20 | Field-defining works, recent progress, closest competitors, tools/datasets used |
| Related Work | 15 | 20—35 | Every discussed topic group gets3—8 citations |
| Method | 3 | 5—12 | Prior modules you build on, borrowed components, theoretical foundations |
| Experiments | 3 | 5—10 | Baselines, datasets, metrics, prior results you compare against |
| Conclusion | 0 | 0—2 | Only when naming a specific future direction tied to existing work |
If the total reference count is below25 for an AI/ML/CV/NLP paper, the draft is under-cited. Expand the related-work discussion and method background until the count is plausible.
Workflow
Step1: Identify Citation Slots
Before drafting each section, scan for where citations are needed:
- Introduction paragraph1 (task/momentum):2—4 citations to field-defining or recent high-impact works.
- Introduction paragraph2 (prior-work ladder):3—6 citations to successive prior approaches.
- Introduction paragraph3 (remaining gap):1—2 citations to works that most closely approach the gap.
- Introduction paragraph4 (method preview):0—1 citation if building on a known architecture.
- Related Work each topic group:3—8 citations per group.
- Method each borrowed component:1 citation to the original source.
- Experiments each baseline/dataset/metric:1 citation.
Mark each slot with a placeholder: [CITE: topic/need]. Collect all placeholders before searching.
Step2: Search For Literature
For each citation slot, determine the search strategy:
- Known paper exists: Use the exact title to find the bib entry via DBLP, Semantic Scholar, or arXiv.
- Topic gap: Route to
ccf-literature-searcherfor a targeted search. Specify: task area, year range, venue preference, and what the citation should support. - Baseline/dataset: Search for the official paper or technical report; prefer the venue version over arXiv when available.
Do not invent paper titles, author names, or bib keys. If a search returns nothing useful, mark the slot as [UNFILLED] and note the search attempted.
Step3: Obtain Bib Entries
For every paper found, obtain a complete, correct bib entry. Preferred sources in order:
1. DBLP (most consistent formatting for CS venues) 2. Semantic Scholar API 3. Official venue proceedings page 4. arXiv export
A correct bib entry must include: author list (complete, not "et al."), title, venue abbreviation, year, and at minimum a DOI or URL. Do not truncate author lists with "and others."
Save every bib entry to the project's .bib file immediately. Use this naming convention for bib keys:
<firstauthor-lowercase><year><first-title-word>Example: vaswani2017attention, he2016deep, brown2020language.
Maintain exactly one .bib file per paper project. Do not scatter references across multiple files.
Step4: Insert Citations Naturally
This is the most important step. Citations must read as part of the narrative, not as parenthetical interruptions.
Bad patterns to avoid:
- ❌ "Gehring et al. (2017) proposed ConvS2S..." (author-name parenthetical)
- ❌ "ConvS2S was proposed by Gehring et al. (2017)..." (citation as afterthought)
- ❌ "In [17], the authors proposed..." (bracket-first, content-second)
- ❌ "Several works [1,2,3,4,5] have studied..." (citation-dump without narrative)
Good patterns to use:
- ✅ "Fully convolutional architectures [17] replaced recurrence with gated linear units..." (citation supports the claim, not the sentence structure)
- ✅ "The Transformer [1] established self-attention as the dominant sequence-modeling primitive..." (named method + citation)
- ✅ "Training deep networks became feasible with residual connections [2] and batch normalization [3]..." (two citations woven into one sentence)
- ✅ "Recent work has pushed this further through larger-scale pretraining [4,5] and architectural innovations [6,7]..." (grouped citations with a narrative spine)
Rules for natural citation:
1. Put the claim first, then the citation. The sentence should make sense without the brackets. 2. Use the method/dataset name as the subject when citing a well-known work: "BERT [8] introduced masked language modeling..." 3. When citing multiple works, group them by what they share: "contrastive objectives [9,10,11]" or "diffusion-based approaches [12,13]." 4. Do not repeat the same citation in consecutive sentences. Group related statements and cite once at the end. 5. In related work, each paragraph should cite3—8 distinct works. 6. Never use "et al." in the running text as a noun. Write "prior work on neural translation [17,18,19]" not "Gehring et al. [17]."
Step5: Verify Citations
After drafting each section:
1. Check that every \cite{...} key exists in the project .bib file. 2. Verify that no citation is invented or guessed. 3. Confirm that citation density meets the per-section minimums. 4. Run a quick scan: does every factual claim about prior work have a citation?
Step6: Update Bib File Continuously
As drafting progresses, the .bib file grows. After every writing session:
1. Deduplicate entries (same paper, different keys). 2. Normalize venue names (e.g., "Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems" → "NeurIPS"). 3. Remove any entry not actually cited in the current draft. 4. Run bibtex or biber to catch formatting errors before submission.
Integration With Other CCFA Skills
- Before drafting: If the paper's closest competitors, baselines, or related-work clusters are unknown, route to
ccf-literature-searcherfirst. Do not draft with guessed citations. - During drafting: As each section is written, fill citation slots using this workflow. Do not defer all citations to a final pass.
- After drafting: Route to
ccf-integrity-auditorto verify that every citation exists and every BibTeX entry is complete. - Before submission: Route to
ccf-submission-checkerto verify the.bibfile compiles cleanly with the venue's LaTeX template.

Use this file to reduce length while preserving the paper's story, evidence, and venue fit.
Compression is triggered when a manuscript exceeds the target venue budget or the user's requested word/page limit. It is the counterpart to length-budget-policy.md: underfilled manuscripts should be expanded, overfilled manuscripts should be compressed.
Mode Selection
Quick mode:
- One paragraph, one subsection, local polish, or a simple word-count reduction.
- Do not require a full checklist.
- Preserve facts and numbers exactly.
- Return compact risk status.
Standard mode:
- Full section, multi-section, full manuscript, page-limit, or camera-ready compression.
- Build a content inventory and appendix/delete decision table.
- Check claim-evidence preservation.
- Ask once before appendix/delete if the user's preference is unknown.
If a draft is only slightly over budget (<= 10%), first compress wording, repeated motivation, and low-value background. If it is substantially over budget (> 10%), create a section-level cut plan before rewriting.
Compression Hierarchy
Cut in this order:
1. Repeated motivation. 2. Generic field background. 3. Unnecessary adjectives and promotional phrasing. 4. Duplicate definitions. 5. Overlong transitions. 6. Implementation details that can move to appendix. 7. Secondary experiments or extended analyses that can move to appendix. 8. Low-impact related work sentences after the closest work is covered. 9. Optional caveats that duplicate the Limitations section.
Protect:
- Central problem and root challenge.
- Core insight and method mechanism.
- Claims tied to contributions.
- Numbers, metrics, datasets, and baseline names.
- Limitations that bound overclaiming.
- Reproducibility details required by the venue.
- Ethics, threat model, or user-study details when required.
Appendix/Delete Decision
Move to appendix when:
- The material is important for audit but not needed for first-pass understanding.
- It is extended derivation, proof detail, extra tables, hyperparameters, implementation detail, or secondary analysis.
- The main text already states the takeaway.
Delete when:
- The material repeats an earlier point.
- The claim is unsupported and not essential.
- The wording is generic venue boilerplate.
- The citation is background-only and not needed for positioning.
- The sentence increases confidence without adding evidence.
Ask once when the choice is strategic:
I recommend moving reproducibility detail and secondary analyses to appendix, and deleting repeated motivation and unsupported filler. Should I apply that policy for this compression pass?If the user already asked for aggressive deletion, appendix-only compression, or camera-ready condensation, do not ask again.
Venue Style
AI/ML/CV/NLP:
- Keep the problem, insight, method mechanism, and evidence summary visible.
- Compress background and low-impact related work first.
- Keep ablation and baseline rationale clear enough to avoid reviewer suspicion.
DB/systems/networks:
- Keep workload, deployment assumptions, architecture, bottleneck, and end-to-end results.
- Move lower-level implementation and extra sensitivity studies to appendix if needed.
Security:
- Keep threat model, assumptions, guarantees, and ethics/disclosure scope.
- Do not compress away boundary conditions.
HCI:
- Keep research questions, participant/procedure essentials, analysis method, and claim scope.
- Move instrument details or long coding examples to appendix.
Theory/PL/FM:
- Keep theorem statement, assumptions, proof idea, and relation to prior bounds.
- Move proof details but not proof roadmap.
Sentence-Level Moves
- Replace broad openings with specific problem statements.
- Merge citations that support the same contrast.
- Convert repeated clauses into one scoped claim.
- Use one term consistently rather than alternating synonyms.
- Prefer "because" and "therefore" relations over long rhetorical bridges.
- Replace verbose contribution bullets with claim + evidence pairs.
Risk Labels
Use these labels after compression:
preserved: claim/evidence still intact.weakened: claim was narrowed to match evidence.moved-to-appendix: detail removed from main flow but still available.deleted: removed because redundant or unsupported.risk: compression may harm clarity or auditability.
Default User-Custom Writing Format
Use this format whenever the user asks for paper writing, planning, polishing, or review but does not specify a target venue, journal, or conference. State the assumption: "No target venue was specified, so I am using the user-custom writing format."
Source Exemplars
The current custom format is distilled from two user-provided exemplar cards:
- ICLR family:
references/exemplars/cards/llava-4d.md - CVPR:
references/exemplars/cards/vggt.md
These are not ordinary venue-best-paper defaults. They are the user's own preferred writing examples. Load both cards before drafting unless the user asks to exclude one.
Writing Shape
Use this structure:
1. Task and capability gap: begin from a concrete capability the field cares about, then show why current systems fail in a physical, dynamic, geometric, or deployment-relevant setting. 2. Prior-work ladder: present prior work as successive partial progress, not as a citation list. 3. Root challenge: identify the missing representation, missing output family, missing temporal/spatial reasoning, or missing direct prediction path. 4. Core insight: express one observation that makes the method feel inevitable. 5. Mechanism preview: name the main modules by their roles in the story. 6. Evidence promise: map each contribution to a measurable task, ablation, benchmark, qualitative example, or downstream use. 7. Boundary: explicitly avoid claims that require an actual target venue, uncollected experiments, or unsupported novelty.
Section Defaults
Abstract:
- One sentence for the capability gap.
- One sentence for the limitation of current approaches.
- Two to three sentences for method mechanism and outputs.
- One sentence for dataset, benchmark, or evaluation package if present.
- One sentence for results or expected evidence, calibrated to the actual proof available.
Introduction:
- Paragraph 1: field momentum and why the problem matters.
- Paragraph 2: prior-work ladder and remaining failure mode.
- Paragraph 3: root observation or design insight.
- Paragraph 4: method overview with modules and output definitions.
- Paragraph 5: contribution bullets, each linked to evidence.
Method:
- Define inputs and outputs before architecture.
- Explain the representation or token family before fusion or training details.
- Separate model, data, training, and inference if all exist.
- Use module names that reflect reviewer-facing function.
Experiments:
- Main comparison first.
- Then ablations tied to contribution bullets.
- Then qualitative examples that expose the motivating failure mode.
- Then efficiency, scaling, or downstream evidence if claimed.
- Then limitations and failure cases.
Closed-Loop Generation
Run the same loop used by references/expert-review-loop.md:
1. Draft using this custom format. 2. Simulate at least three reviewer views: method expert, experiment expert, and writing/storyline expert. 3. Assign a provisional score on a 1-10 scale with reasons. 4. Revise high-severity issues first: unclear contribution, unsupported evidence, missing outputs, weak baselines, overclaiming, or format drift. 5. Re-review the revision. 6. Repeat until no high-severity issue remains, or clearly list the remaining unresolved risk.
Citation Rules
When using this custom format, follow the citation workflow in references/citation-workflow.md:
- The introduction must carry12-20 citations woven naturally into the argument chain.
- Related Work needs3-8 citations per topic group,20-35 total.
- Every baseline, dataset, and borrowed module must be cited.
- Use claim-first citation style: the sentence makes its point, then the bracket provides attribution.
- Do not use "Author et al. [N]" as a sentence subject. Use the finding or method as the subject.
- No
\textbf{Label:}scaffolding in prose paragraphs. Write continuous arguments. - Count total citations before calling the draft complete: under25 for an AI/CV/NLP paper means under-cited.
Output Contract
When this default format is active, return:
1. Custom-format assumption. 2. Loaded custom exemplars. 3. Global story blueprint. 4. Draft or revision. 5. Claim-evidence map. 6. Review score and critique. 7. Revision pass and re-review score.
Maintenance
The custom exemplar list is intentionally easy to edit. To add or remove future examples, use the separate skill custom-exemplar-curator. That skill should generate candidate cards, schemas, and edit instructions for the user to review manually; it should not silently change the custom exemplar set.
Self-Test: Default User-Custom Writing Format

Draft Pass 1
Blueprint
Task: dynamic 3D scene memory for embodied visual-language agents.
Gap: existing agents can parse current observations but struggle to remember object motion and viewpoint-dependent geometry over long trajectories.
Root challenge: a dynamic scene representation must bind identity, 3D location, time, and language-grounded attributes while staying compact enough for decision making.
Insight: object-time memory tokens can bridge LLaVA-4D-style spatiotemporal grounding and VGGT-style direct multi-output geometry.
Method: a Dynamic Geometry Memory Transformer that writes object-time geometry tokens and predicts navigation waypoints, temporal object answers, and evidence traces.
Evidence: dynamic relocation benchmark, multi-task geometry grounding, ablations for time encoding, memory compaction, and evidence trace supervision.
Abstract Draft
Embodied visual-language agents need to reason about dynamic 3D scenes, yet most current systems either describe the present view or maintain static maps. This loses the temporal evidence needed when objects move, disappear, or become visible from a different viewpoint. We propose Dynamic Geometry Memory Transformer, a model that writes compact object-time memory tokens from egocentric video and retrieves them for language-conditioned navigation and temporal question answering. Each token stores semantic attributes, camera-relative geometry, global 3D position, timestamp, and motion cues, allowing the model to predict navigation waypoints, object-state answers, and supporting evidence traces in a single forward pass. We evaluate on a dynamic relocation benchmark with moving-object goals and temporal queries, comparing against static semantic maps, recurrent frame memory, and video-LMM retrieval baselines. The model improves temporal grounding and navigation success while reducing retained visual tokens; ablations isolate the roles of time encoding, memory compaction, and evidence supervision.
Expert Review Pass 1
Score: 6/10.
High-severity issues:
- The draft sounds plausible but does not define how camera-relative geometry becomes global 3D position.
- The evidence package is broad; without a concrete benchmark construction paragraph, the central claim could look hypothetical.
- "Single forward pass" echoes VGGT but may be unsupported if the memory writer runs over a sequence.
Medium-severity issues:
- The relation between navigation waypoints and question answering needs clearer task boundaries.
- The storage reduction claim needs a metric.
Revision plan:
- Replace "single forward pass" with "one retrieval-and-decision stage" unless the architecture truly supports single-pass inference.
- Define the output triplet before detailed token fields.
- Add a benchmark construction sentence.
- Add a storage metric placeholder tied to retained token count and performance.
Draft Pass 2
Revised Abstract
Embodied visual-language agents need to remember dynamic 3D scenes, not only recognize the current view. Static maps lose object motion, while frame-history memories store redundant context without exposing which past observation supports a decision. We propose Dynamic Geometry Memory Transformer, an object-time memory model for language-conditioned relocation and temporal scene queries. Given egocentric video, the model writes compact memory tokens that bind object identity, local geometry, estimated global position, timestamp, and motion state; at query time it retrieves a support set and predicts a waypoint, an answer, and an evidence trace. We introduce a dynamic-room benchmark by replaying object relocations across multi-view trajectories and asking agents to navigate to, describe, or localize moved objects. Experiments compare against static semantic maps, recurrent frame memory, and video-LMM retrieval baselines under matched storage budgets. The proposed memory improves temporal grounding and navigation success, and ablations show that time encoding, motion-aware writing, and evidence-trace supervision each reduce failure on moved-object queries.
Expert Review Pass 2
Score: 7/10.
Remaining risks:
- Needs exact benchmark details before a real submission.
- Needs baseline names and data-generation protocol.
- The global-position estimate must be described carefully in the method.
Outcome:
- The default custom format loaded the ICLR and CVPR user exemplars.
- The first draft used the desired dynamic-scene and direct-output style.
- The review loop removed a VGGT-like overclaim and clarified evidence.
- The format is ready as a default unspecified-venue workflow, with remaining risks correctly tied to future experimental details.
Exemplar Style Analysis
Use this file when the user provides strong papers as writing references or when a built-in exemplar card is selected from references/exemplars/index.md. Extract transferable writing technique only. Do not copy content, claims, examples, terminology, or distinctive phrasing.
Inputs
Ask for or infer:
- Target venue and year if known.
- 2-5 reference papers the user considers well written.
- Built-in exemplar cards from
references/exemplars/cards/when the user has not supplied papers or wants venue-specific best-paper style. - The user's current draft, outline, experiment table, figures, or raw idea.
- Which sections need imitation at the writing-technique level.
Non-Copying Rule
Reference papers may guide:
- Section ordering.
- Paragraph roles.
- Transition strategies.
- How challenges are framed.
- How contributions are announced.
- How methods are decomposed.
- How figures/tables are introduced.
- How experiments are sequenced.
- How limitations are disclosed.
Reference papers must not provide:
- Reused sentences or sentence templates with only noun replacement.
- The same technical claim.
- The same novelty framing if it does not fit the user's work.
- Distinctive examples, metaphors, or phrasings.
- Unsupported confidence borrowed from another paper's evidence.
Extraction Workflow
0. If using built-in exemplars, load references/exemplars/index.md, pick at most 2-4 cards that match the target venue, paper type, and evidence style, then read only those card files. 1. Read the paper at the section level first. Identify the macro story:
- task/application,
- pain point,
- prior gap,
- insight,
- method mechanism,
- evidence,
- limitation or discussion.
2. Build a paragraph-role map for each relevant section:
context,gap,root cause,insight,method preview,contribution,evidence,transition,limitation.
3. Extract writing moves rather than words:
- how the paragraph opens,
- what contrast or causal relation it uses,
- where it places evidence,
- how it reduces reviewer uncertainty,
- how it transitions to the next paragraph.
4. Compare multiple papers and synthesize common patterns. Prefer patterns repeated across papers over one paper's idiosyncratic style. 5. Adapt the pattern to the user's story blueprint, not the other way around.

Abstract
Look for:
- How the first sentence positions the task.

- How the method is named without overloading details.
- Whether results are presented as numerical gains, broad validation, or qualitative improvement.
Introduction
Look for:
- The paragraph where the core challenge appears.
- Whether prior work is used as a ladder toward the gap or as a citation list.
- The sentence that introduces the insight.
- The contribution bullets and whether each contribution maps to later evidence.
Method
Look for:
- Overview figure placement.
- How modules are named.
- Whether each module starts with motivation or design.
- How forward process is described.
- Where assumptions and implementation details appear.
Experiments
Look for:
- Experiment sequence: setup -> comparison -> ablation -> analysis -> limitation.
- Table/figure message per result.
- How baselines are described.
- How qualitative examples support quantitative findings.
- Whether claims in Introduction are revisited.
Adaptation Output
After analyzing exemplars, produce:
1. Reference style summary: 5-10 writing techniques. 2. Our story alignment: which techniques fit the user's paper. 3. Section pattern: paragraph roles for the target section. 4. Drafting warnings: techniques that should not be used because they would distort the user's contribution or overclaim. 5. Originality guard: a reminder that all final prose must be newly written for the user's paper.
GxVAEs
Venue/year: AAAI 2024. Source: AAAI OJS https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AAAI/article/view/29248. Use when: writing biomedical AI, conditional molecule generation, paired representation learning, or application-driven generative model papers.
Story Pattern
The paper starts from a practical drug-discovery goal: generate molecules that are both drug-like and bioactive. The gap is that molecular generators often ignore disease-related cellular context. The method is framed as a two-part bridge between gene expression profiles and molecule generation, with one representation model extracting disease context and another generating molecules conditioned on that context.
Abstract Moves
- Start with a real application and its scientific constraint.
- Identify what previous generative models leave out.
- Introduce the architecture as two coupled modules with distinct roles.
- Tie the method to biological meaning, not only chemical validity.
- End with experiments plus case studies to support applied relevance.
Introduction Moves
- Explain the domain stakes before model details.
- Convert "context matters" into a clear modeling gap.
- Make the conditioning variable scientifically meaningful.
- Use case studies as a bridge from metrics to expert plausibility.
Method Moves
- Separate the profile representation module from the molecule generator.
- State how the latent spaces interact.
- Keep domain constraints visible: bioactivity, drug-likeness, and disease specificity.
Evidence Moves
- Combine standard generative metrics with disease-oriented case studies.
- Compare against baselines that lack the biological condition.
- Avoid claiming therapeutic efficacy unless validated experimentally.
Reusable Techniques
- For applied AI, make the omitted context the root gap.
- Pair quantitative baselines with domain case studies.
- Show how architecture mirrors the scientific causal story.
Do-Not-Copy Boundary

Venue/year: AAAI 2025. Source: paper_ref/best-papers/aaai-2025-every-bit-helps.pdf; AAAI OJS https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AAAI/article/view/33507. Use when: writing theory, social choice, multi-agent systems, elicitation, approximation, or parameterized optimality papers.
Story Pattern
The paper motivates an abstract problem through a concrete allocation scenario, then converts the scenario into a formal tension: ordinal rankings are easy to elicit but lose utility intensity. The central question is parameterized by the number of value queries, and the contribution is to close the gap between known upper and lower bounds.
Abstract Moves
- Define the formal problem and why weaker information is used.
- State the inefficiency measure before stating the result.
- Tie new bounds to a prior result and a prior lower bound.
- End with the "settles open questions" implication.
Introduction Moves
- Use a realistic example before formal notation.
- Introduce the metric of success early.
- Give a small history of known query regimes.
- State the exact missing regime as a question.
- Use tables to map previous and new bounds.
Method Moves
- Put notation after the motivation is clear.
- Separate model definitions from theorem statements.
- Use theorem names and tables as navigation anchors.
Evidence Moves
- For theory papers, evidence is proof structure plus tightness against lower bounds.
- Emphasize optimality only where upper and lower bounds match.
- Make assumptions visible before theorems so reviewers can audit scope.
Reusable Techniques
- Turn a parameter sweep into a story: from zero queries to constant queries to logarithmic queries.
- Use examples to make a formal objective intuitive before proving results.
- Present contribution tables early for quick reviewer orientation.
User Notes
Use this card when the user's result "settles" or tightens a known regime. If the paper only improves constants, avoid the same level of closure language.
Do-Not-Copy Boundary

Mission: Impossible Language Models
Venue/year: ACL 2024, Best Paper. Source: ACL Anthology https://aclanthology.org/2024.acl-long.787/. Use when: writing NLP evaluation, cognitive science of LLMs, synthetic data, falsification, or claim-testing papers.
Story Pattern
The paper takes a strong public claim about LLMs and turns it into an experimental question. Instead of arguing abstractly, it constructs a continuum of synthetic impossible languages and measures model learning across training. The contribution is both a benchmark-like probe and a disciplined test of a contested theoretical claim.
Abstract Moves
- Start with the claim being tested.
- State the evidence gap behind the claim.
- Introduce synthetic test languages as the experimental instrument.
- Report the core finding against the control language.
- End by opening a broader research program.
Introduction Moves
- Quote or paraphrase the disputed claim carefully and concretely.
- Explain why the claim matters for methodology.
- Avoid overclaiming by limiting the experiment to a model family and language set.
Method Moves
- Define the impossibility continuum before model details.
- Keep data transformations transparent.
- Evaluate across training stages, not just endpoints, when learning dynamics are part of the thesis.
Evidence Moves
- Use a natural language control.
- Report multiple synthetic variants to avoid one-off artifacts.
- Connect quantitative learning curves to linguistic interpretation.
Reusable Techniques

MiniLongBench
Venue/year: ACL 2025, Outstanding Paper. Source: ACL Anthology https://aclanthology.org/2025.acl-long.560/. Use when: writing benchmark, evaluation efficiency, long-context LLM, dataset pruning, or low-cost evaluation papers.
Story Pattern
The paper targets the evaluation cost of long-context understanding. It argues that existing benchmarks contain redundancy, then introduces a compressed benchmark that preserves ranking behavior while dramatically reducing test size and cost. The key writing move is to make evaluation economy a scientific contribution.
Abstract Moves
- Start from the importance of the capability and the cost barrier.
- Identify redundancy as the discovered root cause.
- Introduce the benchmark by its compression method and size.
- Prove usefulness through rank correlation with the full benchmark.
- End with the research-enabling implication.
Introduction Moves
- Position evaluation cost as a bottleneck for model development.
- Distinguish "shorter benchmark" from "weaker benchmark" using correlation evidence.
- Explain sparse information as the reason pruning can work.
Method Moves
- Describe the pruning or compression pipeline in auditable steps.
- Define what behavior must be preserved after compression.
- Keep benchmark categories visible so reviewers can judge coverage.
Evidence Moves
- Use many models to support rank-preservation claims.
- Report cost reduction and correlation together.
- Include task-category analysis to avoid the appearance of cherry-picking.
Reusable Techniques
- Convert evaluation expense into a first-class problem.
- Support small-data claims with preservation metrics, not only speedups.
- Phrase benchmark contributions around utility for future research.
User Notes
Use this card when the user's paper proposes a cheaper evaluation protocol or compressed dataset.

From Speaker to Dubber
Venue/year: ACM MM 2024. Source: OpenReview PDF https://openreview.net/pdf/c1a849c12d7b851fa543b7af787bbc8fc9a945b7.pdf. Use when: writing multimodal speech/video generation, dubbing, temporal alignment, prosody modeling, or staged training papers.
Story Pattern
The paper frames movie dubbing as a multimodal alignment task with three simultaneous requirements: voice identity, emotional/prosodic fit, and duration/lip synchronization. The method story is a staged learning pipeline: learn clean pronunciation from broader data, then practice dubbing-specific alignment under limited noisy movie data.
Abstract Moves
- Define the task through multiple constraints rather than a single input-output mapping.
- Identify data limitation and background noise as root causes.
- Introduce staged training as a way to separate general speech knowledge from domain-specific alignment.
- Name the two alignment modules by the constraints they solve.
- Close with benchmark superiority and demos/code as reproducibility signals.
Introduction Moves
- Explain why the task is harder than ordinary voice cloning or TTS.
- Decompose the challenge into duration consistency and prosody consistency.
- Connect each challenge to a module so the method feels inevitable.
Method Moves
- Make the training stages easy to follow with a figure.
- Separate phoneme-level representation, prosody attributes, duration reasoning, and final synthesis.
- Keep multimodal alignment terms consistent across method and experiments.
Evidence Moves
- Combine objective metrics with perceptual or demo-based evidence.
- Compare against prior single-stage methods when staged learning is the core claim.
- Include ablations for each consistency module.
Reusable Techniques
- Decompose a complex generation task into named constraints.
- Justify staged training by data quality and domain mismatch.
- Use demos as supplementary evidence, not as a substitute for benchmarks.
User Notes
Use for multimodal generation papers where temporal alignment is as important as output quality.
Do-Not-Copy Boundary
Do not reuse movie-dubbing examples, prosody/duration module names, or demo claims unless they belong to the user's work.
Aff3DFunc
Venue/year: ACM MM 2025. Source: University of Glasgow record https://eprints.gla.ac.uk/360521/; PDF https://eprints.gla.ac.uk/360521/2/360521.pdf. Use when: writing open-vocabulary 3D understanding, affordance detection, language-geometry alignment, or robot validation papers.
Story Pattern
The paper frames 3D affordance understanding as a practical robotics problem where label-only text descriptions are too weak for open-vocabulary generalization. The method adds functional text enhancement and multilevel representation alignment, then closes the loop with real-world robot validation.
Abstract Moves
- Start with embodied interaction needs: manipulation and navigation.
- Name the weakness of label-based language prompts.
- Present text enhancement as semantic enrichment, not prompt decoration.
- Present multilevel alignment as the bridge between language and 3D geometry.
- End with zero-shot/generalization evidence and robot validation.
Introduction Moves
- Explain affordance as function, not category.
- Show why open-vocabulary queries need richer language than labels.
- Tie each method component to a failure of previous representations.
Method Moves
- Define query forms and 3D representation before alignment.
- Separate text enhancement from geometry-language alignment.
- Keep robot deployment requirements visible.
Evidence Moves
- Evaluate under different textual query forms.
- Include fine-grained manipulation examples, not only segmentation maps.
- Use robot validation to support actionable affordance understanding.
Reusable Techniques
- Treat language enhancement as functional grounding.
- Show generalization through query diversity.
- Pair perception metrics with downstream robot behavior.
Do-Not-Copy Boundary
Do not reuse affordance labels, robot validation claims, or functional text method names unless they belong to the user's work.

Venue/year: CHI 2024 family. Source: ACM Best Paper Awards source record acm-best-paper-awards; verify the exact CHI paper page before public award-status claims. Use when: HCI, reading interfaces, interaction technique evaluation, user studies, education technology, or human-centered design papers.
Story Pattern
The paper type is HCI research: start from a human activity and a measurable difficulty, introduce the design intervention, then connect study design to the claim. The contribution is not the interface alone; it is the evidence about how and why the interaction changes user behavior or understanding.
Abstract Moves

Evidence Moves
- Report quantitative and qualitative evidence according to the study design.
- Avoid causal language if the study design does not support it.
- Include failure cases, subgroup caveats, or ecological-validity limits when relevant.
Do-Not-Copy Boundary

Partial Distance Correlation in Deep Learning
Venue/year: ECCV 2022. Source: ECVA PDF https://www.ecva.net/papers/eccv_2022/papers_ECCV/papers/136860318.pdf; arXiv https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.09684. Use when: writing representation analysis, statistical tools for deep learning, regularization, disentanglement, or robustness papers.
Story Pattern
The paper revives a statistical dependence measure and shows that it solves several deep-learning problems that look different on the surface. The writing move is to make a tool feel versatile without becoming vague: each application is tied to a shared need to compare or constrain functional behavior across feature spaces.
Abstract Moves
- Start from a broad recurring need: comparing what neural networks learn.
- Explain why existing comparison tools are awkward at scale or across dimensions.
- Introduce the statistical tool and its partial variant.
- List diverse applications only after the common mechanism is clear.
Introduction Moves
- Use a thought experiment to make "functional behavior comparison" intuitive.
- Contrast layer-wise analysis with cross-network functional comparison.
- Position the method as a general regularizer or constraint, then prove utility by applications.
Method Moves
- Explain the statistical quantity before using it as a loss or constraint.
- Provide deployment details needed for large-scale models.
- Separate diagnostic use from training-time regularization.
Evidence Moves
- Choose applications that demonstrate different faces of the same mechanism.
- Avoid a scattershot feeling by returning to the shared dependence-control theme.
- Include robustness or disentanglement evidence where the constraint should matter.
Reusable Techniques
- Turn an old tool into a new ML contribution by explaining deployment friction.
- Use one unifying mechanism to justify many applications.
- Make versatility credible through recurring notation and repeated evidence pattern.
Do-Not-Copy Boundary
Do not reuse the partial-distance-correlation method or versatility claim unless the user's work genuinely supports multiple validated uses.
Minimalist Vision with Freeform Pixels
Venue/year: ECCV 2024. Source: ECVA https://www.ecva.net/papers/eccv_2024/papers_ECCV/html/8113_ECCV_2024_paper.php. Use when: writing computational imaging, sensing hardware, privacy-preserving vision, energy-efficient systems, or hardware-software co-design papers.
Story Pattern
The paper asks how little sensing is enough for a task. It reframes camera design as a learnable first layer: freeform pixels are optimized jointly with inference layers. The paper's appeal comes from a surprising contrast between very few measurements and competitive task performance, plus privacy and self-powering benefits.
Abstract Moves
- Start with a crisp definition of the new system class.
- Contrast standard dense sensing with task-specific freeform sensing.
- Explain the hardware abstraction in ML terms.
- Give concrete tasks and pixel counts.
- Close with system-level advantages beyond accuracy.
Introduction Moves
- Motivate minimalism through efficiency, privacy, and deployment constraints.
- Make the sensor itself part of the learned model.
- Use simple tasks first so reviewers can understand the hardware mechanism.
Method Moves
- Explain the optical/hardware layer before the neural inference layer.
- Keep the mapping between learned pixel shape and physical implementation explicit.
- Separate task training from device realization.
Evidence Moves
- Compare against much denser conventional cameras.
- Include physical prototypes or implementation details when making hardware claims.
- Report the practical consequences of minimal sensing, not only accuracy.
Reusable Techniques
- Write from a provocative question: what is the minimum signal needed?
- Treat constraints as a design advantage when they improve privacy or power.
- Use concrete counts and deployment scenarios to make efficiency claims tangible.
User Notes
Useful when the user's work is strongest because it removes capacity, measurements, labels, or compute while preserving task success.
Do-Not-Copy Boundary
Do not copy the freeform-pixel concept, privacy rationale, or self-powered claim unless the user's system has matching design and validation.
Passive Ultra-Wideband Single-Photon Imaging
Venue/year: ICCV 2023. Source: CVF https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/ICCV2023/html/Wei_Passive_Ultra-Wideband_Single-Photon_Imaging_ICCV_2023_paper.html. Use when: writing computational imaging, passive sensing, photon-limited reconstruction, hardware plus algorithm, or extreme-dynamic-range papers.
Story Pattern
The paper defines an unusually difficult imaging regime: dynamic scenes over seconds-to-picoseconds timescales, passively, with little light, and without timing signals from the source. The writing strength is that the sensing constraints are stated as the problem itself, then the method and experiments are organized around making that impossible-looking regime measurable.
Abstract Moves
- Open with the extreme imaging regime.
- Bundle constraints explicitly so reviewers understand the novelty boundary.
- Present the system as passive and timing-signal-free, not merely improved reconstruction.
- Emphasize simultaneous timescale coverage.
Introduction Moves
- Contrast active illumination setups with passive real-world sensing.
- Explain why source timing is normally needed.
- Frame the method as expanding what can be observed, not only improving a metric.
Method Moves
- Introduce the sensing model before reconstruction.
- Make hardware assumptions explicit.
- Separate physical acquisition from computational recovery.
Evidence Moves
- Show examples across the claimed timescale range.
- Include controlled experiments that verify the passive measurement assumption.
- Use qualitative visualizations to make invisible transient information interpretable.
Reusable Techniques
- Let multiple constraints define the novelty.
- Make the physical regime clear before algorithm details.
- Use demonstrations to show a new measurement capability.
Do-Not-Copy Boundary
Do not reuse passive-imaging claims, timescale ranges, or single-photon constraints unless the user's system actually operates there.
BrickGPT
Venue/year: ICCV 2025. Source: CVF https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/ICCV2025/html/Pun_Generating_Physically_Stable_and_Buildable_Brick_Structures_from_Text_ICCV_2025_paper.html. Use when: writing text-to-3D, generative design, physical constraints, autoregressive generation, dataset, or embodied construction papers.
Story Pattern
The paper turns generative modeling into a physically constrained construction problem. The model is not only asked to match a text prompt; it must produce objects that obey assembly constraints, remain stable, and can be built by humans or robots. The story works because the method, dataset, inference checks, and buildability demonstrations all serve the same promise.
Abstract Moves
- Claim firstness only after naming the concrete task boundary.
- Introduce dataset construction as the precondition for the model.
- State the generative mechanism and the physical safeguard separately.
- End with multiple validation modes: stable, diverse, visually aligned, manually buildable, robotically buildable.
Introduction Moves
- Move from text-to-3D generation to the harder requirement of physical assembly.
- Make feasibility constraints part of the task definition, not a post-hoc filter.
- Explain why standard visual quality metrics are insufficient.
Method Moves
- Separate representation, dataset, autoregressive model, validity check, and rollback.
- Treat inference-time constraint handling as a core algorithmic component.
- Make the object representation understandable before model training details.
Evidence Moves
- Combine automatic metrics, physical validity checks, qualitative galleries, and real assembly demonstrations.
- Show failure cases where visual plausibility is not enough.
- Use dataset scale and diversity to support generalization claims.
Reusable Techniques
- Define a generation task by downstream feasibility, not only by visual similarity.
- Pair data creation and inference constraints when real-world validity matters.
- Let build or deployment demonstrations close the evidence loop.
User Notes
Use this card when a paper must convince reviewers that generated outputs are actionable in the physical world.
Do-Not-Copy Boundary
Do not reuse brick-specific constraints, dataset claims, or buildability demonstrations unless the user's domain has equivalent evidence.

VideoPoet
Venue/year: ICML 2024. Source: PMLR https://proceedings.mlr.press/v235/kondratyuk24a.html. Use when: writing multimodal generation, video synthesis, autoregressive modeling, zero-shot capability, or large model adaptation papers.
Story Pattern
The paper transfers the language-model training recipe to video generation. Rather than building a separate model for each conditioning type, it treats text, images, video, and audio as multimodal sequences handled by one decoder-only transformer. The contribution is a foundation model that can be adapted to many video generation tasks and demonstrates zero-shot motion quality.
Abstract Moves
- Define the system by the range of conditioning signals it accepts.
- Present the architecture using a familiar model family.
- Separate pretraining from task-specific adaptation.
- Frame empirical results around zero-shot capability and motion fidelity.
Introduction Moves
- Establish why video generation needs flexible conditioning.
- Contrast task-specific pipelines with a unified generative sequence model.
- Make the training protocol central to the contribution.
Method Moves
- Explain tokenization or representation of each modality before training objectives.
- Group objectives by what capability they teach.
- Keep adaptation steps distinct from pretraining.
Evidence Moves
- Use qualitative examples to demonstrate motion and conditional control.
- Pair zero-shot claims with task diversity.
- Avoid overloading the main text with demos; keep visual evidence organized.
Reusable Techniques
- Use a unification story when one model handles many input-output modes.
- Make "LLM recipe for another modality" concrete through objectives and tokens.
- Present zero-shot as a capability supported by task coverage.

Do not reuse VideoPoet's multimodal task mix, decoder-only framing, or zero-shot claims unless the user's model and evaluation support them.
CollabLLM
Venue/year: ICML 2025. Source: PMLR https://proceedings.mlr.press/v267/wu25i.html. Use when: writing LLM, agent, human-AI collaboration, multiturn interaction, reward design, or user-study papers.
Story Pattern
The paper reframes LLM interaction as a long-horizon collaboration problem rather than next-turn response quality. The method contribution is a training framework that gives credit to responses by their downstream contribution to user goals, and the evidence package combines benchmark tasks, LLM judges, and a user study.
Abstract Moves
- Start with a training/evaluation mismatch: next-turn rewards do not optimize long-term interaction.
- Name a behavioral failure: passive responses to ambiguous or open-ended requests.
- Introduce the framework through its training signal.
- Report both task performance and interaction quality.
- Add human-user evidence to strengthen the collaboration claim.
Introduction Moves
- Define what good collaboration means before introducing the method.
- Use ambiguous-user-intent examples as motivation, but keep them short.
- Present reward design as the core mechanism, not as an implementation detail.
- Link benchmark design to the paper's thesis.
Method Moves
- Explain the simulation or reward pipeline as a credit-assignment solution.
- Keep the distinction clear among training data, reward estimation, fine-tuning, and evaluation.
- Define interaction metrics in reviewer-readable language.
Evidence Moves
- Pair automatic evaluation with human judgment when claiming user-centered gains.
- Report both performance and interactivity so the method is not seen as only more verbose.
- Include a cost or time measure if the claim includes collaboration efficiency.
Reusable Techniques
- Use "short-term objective versus long-term user goal" as a clean motivation axis.
- Treat benchmark design as part of the contribution when existing evaluation cannot test the thesis.
- Let user study evidence calibrate claims about user satisfaction.
User Notes
Useful for any paper where the method changes how an AI system behaves in conversation, not just what it predicts.

This card participates in the default custom writing format when the user does not specify a target venue. Source: paper_ref/LLaVA-4D.pdf; OpenReview https://openreview.net/forum?id=URpbmVEsqB; arXiv https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.12253. Use when: writing multimodal, 3D/4D scene, embodied AI, prompt-embedding, or dataset plus model papers.
Story Pattern
Broad success in 2D multimodal understanding is narrowed to a physical-world failure: missing spatial representation. The introduction then shows that existing 3D LMMs improve static spatial modeling but do not model temporal variation. The proposed method is framed as a minimal dimensional extension with a concrete mechanism: add time to coordinates and disentangle spatial and temporal visual features.
Abstract Moves
- Start with a capability gap tied to the physical world.
- Describe the prior approach in one sentence, then immediately name its failure case.
- Introduce the method as a general framework with one memorable mechanism.
- Add a dataset contribution after the modeling contribution.
- End with broad task validation, not only one benchmark.
Introduction Moves
- Paragraph 1: field momentum and why the current generation of LMMs is insufficient for physical interaction.
- Paragraph 2: prior 3D LMMs as a ladder, followed by the dynamic-object failure.
- Paragraph 3: observation that static background and moving objects share positions but differ in motion.
- Paragraph 4: module preview with explicit mapping from observation to design.
- Contributions: one model-level claim, two insight-to-module claims, one dataset/evidence claim.
Method Moves
- Name each module by the role it plays in the story, not just by architecture.
- Explain coordinate encoding before fusion so the reader understands what information is being injected.
- Keep dataset construction separate from model mechanics so reviewers can evaluate each contribution.

Visual Autoregressive Modeling
Venue/year: NeurIPS 2024. Source: NeurIPS Proceedings https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/paper/2024/hash/9a24e284b187f662681440ba15c416fb-Abstract-Conference.html. Use when: writing image generation, autoregressive modeling, new prediction paradigm, scaling laws, or fast inference papers.
Story Pattern
The paper redefines autoregressive image generation by changing what the next prediction is. Instead of raster-scan next-token prediction, the model predicts the next scale or resolution in a coarse-to-fine process. The story is powerful because a simple conceptual shift yields quality, speed, data-efficiency, and scaling-law evidence.
Abstract Moves
- Name the paradigm shift in the first technical sentence.
- Contrast it with the standard formulation.
- State why the new formulation is intuitive and scalable.
- Report a dramatic benchmark improvement and speed gain.
- Extend the claim to scaling laws and zero-shot image editing.
Introduction Moves
- Explain why text-style autoregression is awkward for images.
- Use spatial hierarchy as the reason next-scale prediction is natural.
- Position diffusion models as the benchmark to beat, but keep comparisons evidence-based.
Method Moves
- Define the visual token hierarchy before transformer training.
- Make the prediction order visually understandable.
- Explain how inference speed follows from the formulation.
Evidence Moves
- Pair headline metrics with speed and scalability curves.
- Include comparison to both AR and diffusion baselines.
- Use downstream editing/inpainting as evidence of generalization.
Reusable Techniques
- A new prediction target can be the whole paper story.
- Make scaling claims with curves, not only final model performance.
- Let conceptual simplicity and empirical breadth reinforce each other.
Do-Not-Copy Boundary
Do not reuse next-scale prediction, reported numbers, or diffusion-comparison claims unless the user's method and evaluation support them.
1000 Layer Networks for Self-Supervised RL
Venue/year: NeurIPS 2025. Source: NeurIPS Proceedings https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/paper/2025/hash/e74ee34cc0f2d0780f34ee77d8fba25b-Abstract-Conference.html. Use when: writing scaling, RL, self-supervised learning, architecture depth, goal-conditioned learning, or capability-emergence papers.
Story Pattern
The paper imports a familiar scaling lesson from language and vision into reinforcement learning, then argues that RL had not benefited because the right building blocks were missing. The specific axis is network depth, and the evidence is both quantitative improvement and qualitative change in learned behavior.
Abstract Moves
- Open with a cross-field contrast: scaling transformed language/vision but not RL.
- Identify one design axis as critical.
- State the experimental setting in a way that raises difficulty: no rewards or demonstrations.
- Quantify gains across tasks.
- Add that scaling changes behaviors, not only metrics.
Introduction Moves
- Explain why existing shallow RL architectures may be a bottleneck.
- Make the unsupervised goal-conditioned setting central to the difficulty.
- Present depth scaling as a systematic study, not a one-off architecture trick.
Method Moves
- Define the base algorithm before scaling modifications.
- Separate architecture depth, stability tricks, objective, and training protocol.
- Keep compute and implementation details visible for reproducibility.
Evidence Moves
- Show scaling curves rather than only best numbers.
- Compare against goal-conditioned baselines.
- Include qualitative behavior examples to support the capability-change claim.
Reusable Techniques
- Use cross-domain analogy carefully, then validate it in the target domain.
- Pair scaling laws with concrete downstream behaviors.
- Make absence of supervision part of the challenge framing.
User Notes
Use for papers where a simple scaling dimension unlocks surprising performance or behavior.
Do-Not-Copy Boundary
Do not reuse the depth-scaling claim, unsupervised RL setup, or magnitude of gains unless supported by the user's experiments.

This card participates in the default custom writing format when the user does not specify a target venue. VGGT is also recorded separately as the CVPR 2025 Best Paper in cards/cvpr-2025-vggt-best-paper.md, but this card remains the user-custom writing source. Source: paper_ref/VGGT_ Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer.pdf; CVF https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/CVPR2025/html/Wang_VGGT_Visual_Geometry_Grounded_Transformer_CVPR_2025_paper.html. Use when: writing feed-forward vision, 3D reconstruction, multi-task prediction, model simplicity, or replacement of iterative pipelines.
Story Pattern
The paper begins from a classic pipeline with strong priors and heavy optimization, then asks whether modern neural networks can directly solve the same family of tasks. The contribution is framed as a simpler feed-forward model that predicts many related 3D attributes together and competes with specialized or optimization-based systems.
Abstract Moves
- Define the model by outputs first: cameras, point maps, depth, and tracks.
- Make scale flexibility explicit: one view, few views, or hundreds of views.
- Contrast simplicity and speed against post-processing-heavy alternatives.
- Close by extending the value beyond the main tasks: pretrained features help downstream tasks.
Introduction Moves
- Start from the historical baseline and why it still dominates.
- Pose a sharp capability question rather than only listing limitations.
- Position related work as partial progress, then identify what still requires post-processing.
- Argue that standard transformers plus enough 3D-annotated data may be sufficient.
- Summarize contributions around model, direct usability, post-processing compatibility, and benchmark breadth.
Method Moves
- State problem inputs and outputs before architecture details.
- Use over-complete prediction as a training/evidence idea: related outputs can improve each other even if some are mathematically connected.
- Explain architectural restraint as a virtue, then isolate the few necessary design choices.
Evidence Moves
- Benchmark across several tasks to prove generality.
- Compare both direct outputs and outputs with optional refinement.
- Include in-the-wild qualitative figures that reveal where optimization methods are brittle.
Reusable Techniques
- Use "direct prediction of a family of outputs" as a unifying paper story.
- Make simplicity reviewer-facing: fewer special components can be a claim if evidence is broad.
- Let one overview figure show input/output breadth and runtime contrast.

Self-Test: Dynamic Scene Memory Transformer
Purpose: test whether the exemplar cards help plan, draft, review, and revise a simple CCF A-style paper idea without copying exemplar prose.
Target paper idea: Dynamic Scene Memory Transformer for 4D embodied navigation. The hypothetical method stores object-centric spatiotemporal memories from multi-view egocentric video and uses them for long-horizon navigation queries.
Target venue family: ICLR/CVPR-style AI and vision.

Draft Pass 1
Global Story
Task: answer navigation and interaction queries in dynamic 4D indoor scenes.
Gap: current embodied agents remember static landmarks better than moving objects, so temporal changes are lost across long-horizon reasoning.
Root challenge: moving objects create discontinuous observations; a model must bind object identity, 3D position, and time without rebuilding the entire scene at every step.
Insight: object-centric spatiotemporal memory can preserve dynamic evidence more efficiently than frame-level history.
Method: a transformer that writes object memory tokens with 3D pose, time, motion, and language-aligned attributes, then retrieves them for navigation decisions.
Evidence promise: benchmark on dynamic-object navigation, ablations for memory write/read, comparison against frame history and static maps, qualitative temporal query examples.
Simple Abstract Draft
Embodied agents increasingly operate in dynamic indoor scenes, yet most visual-language navigation systems store scenes as static maps or frame histories. This makes them brittle when objects move, disappear, or reappear across long trajectories. We propose Dynamic Scene Memory Transformer, an object-centric memory model that writes spatiotemporal tokens from egocentric multi-view video and retrieves them for language-conditioned navigation. The model binds each memory token to 3D position, time, motion state, and semantic attributes, enabling agents to reason over both stable background structure and dynamic objects. We introduce a dynamic navigation benchmark with temporal object queries and evaluate against static-map, frame-history, and 3D-LMM baselines. Across navigation success, temporal grounding, and object relocation tasks, the proposed memory improves dynamic-scene reasoning while reducing stored visual tokens.
Expert Review Pass 1
Score: 5/10, weak reject.
Findings:
- Novelty is plausible but underspecified. "Object-centric memory" could overlap with existing memory-map and tracking work.
- The benchmark promise is too broad for a simple article. The draft needs a clearer evidence package and task boundary.
- The abstract claims reduced storage but does not say how storage is measured.
- It borrows the 4D dynamic-scene rhythm successfully, but it needs the VGGT-style output definition: what exactly is predicted or retrieved?
Revision Actions:
- Narrow the task to language-conditioned relocation and navigation in dynamic rooms.
- Define outputs: answer, waypoint, and supporting object-time trace.
- Add storage metric and ablation requirement.
- Replace broad "3D-LMM baselines" with precise baseline families.
Draft Pass 2
Revised Abstract
Language-conditioned navigation in dynamic rooms requires more than recognizing the current view: an agent must remember where objects were, when they moved, and which past observation supports a decision. Existing static-map and frame-history agents either discard object motion or store redundant visual context. We propose Dynamic Scene Memory Transformer, a retrieval model that writes object-time memory tokens from egocentric video and predicts three outputs for each query: a navigation waypoint, a natural-language answer, and an evidence trace over remembered objects. The model stores 3D position, timestamp, motion cue, and semantic state for each object token, then retrieves a compact temporal support set before action prediction. We evaluate on a language-conditioned relocation benchmark with moving-object goals, comparing against static semantic maps, recurrent frame memory, and video-LMM retrieval baselines. The proposed memory improves temporal grounding and navigation success while using fewer retained tokens; ablations isolate the contributions of time encoding, motion-aware writing, and evidence-trace supervision.
Section Plan
Introduction:
1. Dynamic navigation need: current view alone is insufficient. 2. Prior map/frame-memory limitation: static maps lose motion, frame histories are redundant. 3. Root challenge: bind object identity, 3D location, and time for query-time evidence. 4. Method preview: object-time memory writes, compact retrieval, waypoint/answer/evidence outputs. 5. Contributions: task benchmark, memory model, evidence-trace supervision, evaluation package.
Experiments:
1. Main comparison on relocation navigation. 2. Temporal grounding and evidence-trace accuracy. 3. Storage-efficiency curve. 4. Ablations: no time, no motion cue, no evidence supervision, full frame memory. 5. Failure analysis for occlusion and identity switches.
Expert Review Pass 2
Score: 7/10, weak accept if experiments are real.
Remaining risks:
- Must define benchmark construction and annotation quality.
- Needs a strong baseline suite from embodied AI and video retrieval.
- Storage reduction claim must report both token count and accuracy trade-off.
Skill Outcome:
- The exemplar index helped choose a small card bundle instead of overloading context.
- The LLaVA-4D card helped shape the dynamic-scene gap and observation-to-module move.
- The VGGT card exposed the need to define outputs early.
- The review loop caught overclaiming before final prose.
- No exemplar wording or technical claim was copied.
Exemplar Index
Use this index when the user asks for CCF A-level paper writing, best-paper style, venue-specific adaptation, default user-custom writing, or examples from strong papers. Load only the cards that match the target paper. Do not load every card by default.
Default Custom Format
When the target venue is not specified, load references/custom-format/default-user-format.md first. That format currently uses the user's two custom exemplar cards:
| Role | Venue | Card | Use when |
|---|---|---|---|
| User custom exemplar | ICLR family | cards/llava-4d.md | 4D scene understanding, spatiotemporal prompts, dataset plus model papers |
| User custom exemplar | CVPR | cards/vggt.md | feed-forward geometry, multi-task visual prediction, simple model versus optimization |
These two cards are user-custom writing-format sources. Do not treat them as ordinary venue best-paper cards unless the user explicitly asks to compare against ICLR/CVPR best-paper style.
Selection Rule
Pick at most 2-4 cards:
- Use the custom-format cards first when no target venue is specified.
- Use same venue or venue family first when a target venue is specified.
- Use same evidence type second: theorem, benchmark, user study, system, dataset, or ablation-heavy model.
- Use same story shape third: new task, new benchmark, new model family, new capability, or new evaluation economy.
- Add one contrast card only when it improves reviewer-proofing.
Use cards to borrow writing moves, not claims, wordings, examples, or technical content.

Style And Citation Guides
When loading exemplar cards, also follow the writing style and citation rules established in the main skill references:
references/research-writing-patterns.md(Natural Writing Style section): prose flow, forbidden patterns (no bold labels, no citation dumps), citation weaving.references/citation-workflow.md: search-bib-cite workflow, citation density per section, natural citation patterns.references/output-style-policy.md(Citation Format Rules): claim-first citation style, no author-name subjects, bib file as source of truth.
The exemplar cards provide structural patterns. The style guides provide execution rules. Use both.
Output Reminder
After loading cards, produce:
1. Chosen exemplar set and why each card fits. 2. Transferable writing moves. 3. Drafting warnings where an exemplar's confidence would not be supported by the user's evidence. 4. A section plan or revision that is original to the user's paper.
