Abstract

Three-dimensional Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) combines explicit primitives with efficient rasterization, yet recent systems increasingly use neural networks to generate or share Gaussian parameters. We characterize this trend along five axes: attribute decoding, spatial sharing, view-conditioned decoding, topology generation, and amortized inference. An analysis of 19 representative methods shows that these choices address different limitations and cannot be reduced to a binary neural label. We also isolate three forms of neural parameterization in a controlled mip-NeRF 360 study. Sharing appearance and opacity improves reconstruction quality, while decoding geometric structure offers no further gain. The evidence favors selective neuralization: shared functions help when they capture reusable correlations without sacrificing the local geometric freedom of explicit splats.

Gender, Race, and Intersectional Bias in Resume Screening via Language Model Retrieval

This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
