Vision-language models (VLMs) struggle with in context learning compared to their textual counterparts. Our preliminary study shows that VLMs rely on textual shortcuts and underutilize the visual…
We present TwinStore, a source-available synthetic consumer platform for physical retail built on vision--language models. TwinStore turns a store into a digital twin---from 82 ready-made formats, a…
Lifting vision-language features such as CLIP into 3D Gaussian reconstructions enables open-vocabulary segmentation through natural-language queries. Although CLIP represents a broad range of…
Concept bottleneck models (CBMs) let clinicians inspect and correct skin disease diagnoses through clinical concepts, but only if the concept annotations are reliable. We therefore audit the…
Few-step autoregressive video generation enables low-latency streaming, yet prevailing training pipelines separate causal adaptation from distribution matching. Recent representation-based…
Diffusion-based audio-visual generation methods typically perform joint denoising of audio and video latents throughout the entire sampling trajectory, repeatedly executing modality-specific…
Ambiguity is a central feature of natural communication: a sentence, image, or sound may remain underspecified until evidence from the other channels is considered. Yet current multimodal benchmarks…
Long chain-of-thought reasoning improves vision-language models (VLMs), but it also exposes a temporal grounding failure: as generation unfolds, models may drift from image evidence while…
Visual perception should be iterative and task-directed, with representations refined in response to the question and the need for further processing. While Vision-Language Models (VLMs) increasingly…
World models are increasingly used to reduce environment interaction when post-training vision-language-action (VLA) policies with reinforcement learning. Yet they are typically trained to predict…
Flexible endoscopes exploit structural compliance to traverse narrow lumens, pipes, and cavities, where navigation involves distributed environmental contact. This compliance makes tip motion depend…
Masked diffusion models (MDMs) generate sequences by progressively unmasking tokens, but errors introduced during decoding are typically irreversible. Recent work has shown that iterative correction…
Shadows are observable consequences of latent physical causes, arising from the interaction between illumination, object geometry, and scene structure. A model that understands shadows should be able…
Flow matching is now the dominant approach for vision-language action (VLA) robot policies, thanks to its expressiveness and simple training objective. However, inference for standard flow matching…
Large language models have been reported to encode the harmfulness of a request separately from their decision to refuse it, and latent safety monitors such as Latent Guard build on this report by…
Training-free few-step samplers are often described as nearly quality-lossless under conventional FID/CLIP-style evaluation. It remains unclear whether that conclusion transfers to more realistic and…
Autonomous robotic surgery has drawn increased attention in recent years due to its potential to relieve surgeons of time-consuming, mentally straining, and tedious tasks, particularly during…
We propose AgentDreamer, an agent-guided optimization framework that aligns text instructions with simulated motion through explicit 3D motion planning. Given a text instruction and scene geometry,…
Designing RNA molecules that bind to target protein structures requires generating both an RNA conformation and its bound complex geometry, without assuming a predefined binding site. Existing…
Unsupervised federated learning with Vision-Language Models (e.g., CLIP) offers a promising solution for label-free classification, yet its performance often degrades under severe non-IID shifts. A…
