Novel view synthesis and 3D reconstruction have advanced rapidly with radiance fields and splatting, yet their memory and computational demands limit their use in resource-constrained settings. We introduce Hexels: novel planar hexagonal surface elements with a first-order spatial color field for efficient 3D scene and 2D image representation. Hexels exploit locally planar regions with smoothly varying appearance using fewer, larger primitives. Their hexagonal support provides an area- and boundary-efficient domain, while the local color field captures appearance variation within each primitive. Across 34 scenes, Hexels improve PSNR over memory-matched 2DGS by 4.53-7.38 dB across datasets while requiring lower training VRAM. We further ablate Hexels by showing that per primitive, Hexels outperform 2DGS by upto 4.74 dB while using lower training VRAM and having 2.31 times faster FPS. Even in unconstrained settings, Hexels offers complementary quality-memory trade-offs. For efficient 3D surface reconstruction, Hexels reduce error by 28.9% compared with memory-matched 2DGS across 15 DTU scans. On 6 Tanks and Temples surface scenes, Hexels achieves the highest mean F1 among compared…

Oman-based Phaze Ventures has launched two venture capital funds targeting more than $75 million combined, securing over $40 million in investor commitments to date. The funds will invest in artificial intelligence and deeptech startups in Oman and international markets. Phaze…
Mixed-precision weight quantization is commonly formulated as a Multiple-Choice Knapsack Problem (MCKP), yet existing solvers rely on scalar sensitivity proxies that collapse each weight matrix's Hessian into a single number and treat every module independently. We prove that…
Complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) are increasingly adopted for complex-valued data; however, they are often trained with first-order optimizers inherited from the real-valued case. The efficiency of these methods depends largely on the step size, and their step-size rules…
Visual localization (VL) is a fundamental technology for vision applications such as virtual reality. Recently, a novel VL paradigm, Camera Ray Regression (CRR), has emerged, which maps 2D image patches to 3D camera rays, but its accuracy is limited. To improve CRR accuracy, we…
