Figure, table and section ledger
Editorial contribution type: Architecture & representation (primary).
Layout extraction, not a required paper template. Counts are distinct caption labels; a multi-panel figure counts once. Section spans are estimated from heading positions, including floats and whitespace. Method and limitations.

Section-by-section lengths and source pages
The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

Argument and organization
- 1 Introduction; 2 Related Works
Positions sparse voxel encoding and implicit click fusion as complementary design choices.
- 3 Method
Defines the interaction loop, representation, positive/negative click handling and simulated-feedback training.
- 4 Experiments; 5 Qualitative Results; 6 Conclusions
Separates cross-domain interactive evaluation, single-click non-interactive comparison, fusion ablations and a VR demonstration.
Problem, claim and contribution
The desired output is one target instance selected by positive/negative user clicks, not automatic discovery of every object.
Section 3.1, physical pp.2–3 · Main paper
Argument and section order
Method detail follows the data path from point-to-voxel conversion to clicks/decoder/fusion and back to point masks, followed by the separate interaction simulator.
Sections 3.2–3.3, pp.3–5 · Main paper
Figures, captions and visual explanation
The architecture explicitly shows the voxel-to-point return mapping; qualitative rows place ground truth, click-specific masks and IoU at each interaction together.
Figure 2, p.3; Figure 4, p.8 · Main paper
Tables, comparisons and evidence
Evaluation uses ground-truth-aware simulated clicks selected from each method’s error regions, with up to ten clicks and matching training data for the main comparison.
Sections 3.3.1 and 4.3, pp.5–6; Table 1, p.6 · Main paper
Appendix and reproducibility
Exact decoder details, training settings and the derived Gaussian-Splatting dataset’s annotation transfer are deferred to supplementary material, not inspected.
Sections 3.2.4,3.3.3,4.1,4.7.2, pp.4–6,8 · Main paper
Clarity and writing conventions
The ablation discussion acknowledges explicit fusion can be preferable for many clicks in the training-like domain rather than claiming one design dominates unconditionally.
Sections 4.5 and 4.7.1, pp.6–7 · Main paper
What to reuse—and what not to infer
Transferable lesson: In interactive-method papers, make the feedback policy part of the experimental definition and show how each added interaction changes the output.
Boundary: Simulated oracle-error clicks are not a human usability study or a measurement of annotation time. Single-click comparisons with automatic methods have different input privileges. Gaussian-Splatting geometry is derived from ScanNet, not an independent new scene collection; the VR demonstration does not establish all latency or generalization claims.
Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
