Adapting Point Cloud Analysis via Multimodal Bayesian Distribution Learning

Zhu, Xingyu, Yi, Liang, Wang, Shuo, Zhu, Wenbo, Wu, Yongliang, Zhu, Beier, Zhang, Hanwang

原文摘要

Large multimodal 3D vision-language models show strong generalization across diverse 3D tasks, but their performance still degrades under domain shifts. This has motivated recent studies on test-time adaptation (TTA), which enables models to adapt online using test-time data. Among existing TTA methods, cache-based mechanisms are widely adopted to leverage previously observed samples for online prediction refinement. However, they store limited historical information, leading to progressive information loss as the test stream evolves. In addition, their prediction logits are fused heuristically, making adaptation unstable. To address these limitations, we propose BayesMM, a multimodal Bayesian distribution learning framework for test-time point cloud analysis. BayesMM models textual priors and streaming visual features of each class as Gaussian distributions. Textual parameters are derived from semantic prompts, while visual parameters are updated online with arriving samples. The two modalities are fused via Bayesian model averaging, which automatically adjusts their contributions based on posterior evidence. This yields a unified prediction that adapts to evolving test-time data without training. Extensive experiments on multiple point cloud benchmarks demonstrate that BayesMM maintains robustness under distributional shifts, yielding over 4 percent average improvement.

QuietPrune: Query-Guided Early Token Pruning for Vision-Language Models

Gao, Tianxiao, Zhao, Shanwei, Fang, Shuo, Zhu, Shiai, Ma, Chenguang

原文摘要

Vision-language models (VLMs) demonstrate powerful capabilities in multimodal tasks. However, the large number of visual tokens imposes a significant computational cost. In this paper, we propose QuietPrune, a QUery-guIded Early Token Pruning method to remove redundant visual tokens within VLMs, thereby enhancing computational efficiency. Unlike previous late pruning methods, we recognize that implementing early pruning within the vision transformer (ViT) can achieve benefits in both latency reduction and accuracy maintenance. To address the semantic loss problem in early pruning, we design a lightweight adapter by performing an inverse transformation of the projector in VLMs. The proposed adapter converts the contextual query into a visual domain [Q-CLS] (Query [CLS]) token, providing textual guidance for ViT pruning. During pruning, we further introduce a semi-structured pruning scheme based on visual-textual relevance. Specifically, we group spatially adjacent 2 x2 tokens to accommodate the visual token merging operation prevalent in mainstream VLMs. We use the mean attention scores between the [Q-CLS] token and the visual tokens as the relevance metric for each group, avoiding additional computation. Pruning is then applied at the group level based on the relevance score, preserving positional continuity. After pruning, we aggregate the redundant tokens into a single token to maintain context cues. Our method achieves up to 19.0% reduction in prefill latency while outperforming 4.2% in accuracy on the recent Qwen3-VL and InternVL3 series compared to existing late pruning methods.

CGL: Advancing Continual GUI Learning via Reinforcement Fine-Tuning

Yao, Zhenquan, Huang, Zitong, Zeng, Yihan, Han, Jianhua, Xu, Hang, Feng, Chun-Mei, Ma, Jianwei, Zuo, Wangmeng

原文摘要

Graphical User Interface (GUI) Agents, benefiting from recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLM), have achieved significant development. However, due to the frequent updates of GUI applications, adapting to new tasks without forgetting old tasks in GUI continual learning remains an open problem. In this work, we reveal that while Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) facilitates fast adaptation, it often triggers knowledge overwriting, whereas Reinforcement Learning (RL) demonstrates an inherent resilience that shields prior interaction logic from erasure. Based on this insight, we propose a Continual GUI Learning (CGL) framework that dynamically balances adaptation efficiency and skill retention by enhancing the synergy between SFT and RL. Specifically, we introduce an SFT proportion adjustment mechanism guided by policy entropy to dynamically control the weight allocation between the SFT and RL training phases. To resolve explicit gradient interference, we further develop a specialized gradient surgery strategy. By projecting exploratory SFT gradients onto GRPO-based anchor gradients, our method explicitly clips the components of SFT gradients that conflict with GRPO. On top of that, we establish an AndroidControl-CL benchmark, which divides GUI applications into distinct task groups to effectively simulate and evaluate the performance of continual GUI learning. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed CGL framework across continual learning scenarios. The benchmark, code, and model will be made publicly available.

ArtHOI: Taming Foundation Models for Monocular 4D Reconstruction of Hand-Articulated-Object Interactions

Wang, Zikai, Zhang, Zhilu, Wang, Yiqing, Li, Hui, Zuo, Wangmeng

原文摘要

Existing hand-object interactions (HOI) methods are largely limited to rigid objects, while 4D reconstruction methods of articulated objects generally require pre-scanning the object or even multi-view videos. It remains an unexplored but significant challenge to reconstruct 4D human-articulated-object interactions from a single monocular RGB video. Fortunately, recent advancements in foundation models present a new opportunity to address this highly ill-posed problem. To this end, we introduce ArtHOI, an optimization-based framework that integrates and refines priors from multiple foundation models. Our key contribution is a suite of novel methodologies designed to resolve the inherent inaccuracies and physical unreality of these priors. In particular, we introduce an Adaptive Sampling Refinement (ASR) method to optimize object's metric scale and pose for grounding its normalized mesh in world space. Furthermore, we propose a Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) guided hand-object alignment method, utilizing contact reasoning information as constraints of hand-object mesh composition optimization. To facilitate a comprehensive evaluation, we also contribute two new datasets, ArtHOI-RGBD and ArtHOI-Wild. Extensive experiments validate the robustness and effectiveness of our ArtHOI across diverse objects and interactions. Project: https://arthoi-reconstruction.github.io.

S$^2$-MLLM: Boosting Spatial Reasoning Capability of MLLMs for 3D Visual Grounding with Structural Guidance

Xu, Beining, Zhu, Siting, Jin, Zhao, Li, Junxian, Wang, Hesheng

原文摘要

3D Visual Grounding (3DVG) focuses on locating objects in 3D scenes based on natural language descriptions, serving as a fundamental task for embodied AI and robotics. Recent advances in Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have motivated research into extending them to 3DVG. However, MLLMs primarily process 2D visual inputs and struggle with understanding 3D spatial structure of scenes solely from these limited perspectives. Existing methods mainly utilize viewpoint-dependent rendering of reconstructed point clouds to provide explicit structural guidance for MLLMs in 3DVG tasks, leading to inefficiency and limited spatial reasoning. To address this issue, we propose S^2-MLLM, an efficient framework that enhances spatial reasoning in MLLMs through implicit spatial reasoning. We introduce a spatial guidance strategy that leverages the structure awareness of feed-forward 3D reconstruction. By acquiring 3D structural understanding during training, our model can implicitly reason about 3D scenes without relying on inefficient point cloud reconstruction. Moreover, we propose a structure-enhanced module (SE), which first employs intra-view and inter-view attention mechanisms to capture dependencies within views and correspondences across views. The module further integrates multi-level position encoding to associate visual representations with spatial positions and viewpoint information, enabling more accurate structural understanding. Extensive experiments demonstrate that S^2-MLLM unifies superior performance, generalization, and efficiency, achieving significant performance over existing methods across the ScanRefer, Nr3D, and Sr3D datasets. Code will be available upon acceptance.

Back to Point: Exploring Point-Language Models for Zero-Shot 3D Anomaly Detection

Li, Kaiqiang, Li, Gang, Zhou, Mingle, Li, Min, Han, Delong, Wan, Jin

原文摘要

Zero-shot (ZS) 3D anomaly detection is crucial for reliable industrial inspection, as it enables detecting and localizing defects without requiring any target-category training data. Existing approaches render 3D point clouds into 2D images and leverage pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for anomaly detection. However, such strategies inevitably discard geometric details and exhibit limited sensitivity to local anomalies. In this paper, we revisit intrinsic 3D representations and explore the potential of pre-trained Point-Language Models (PLMs) for ZS 3D anomaly detection. We propose BTP (Back To Point), a novel framework that effectively aligns 3D point cloud and textual embeddings. Specifically, BTP aligns multi-granularity patch features with textual representations for localized anomaly detection, while incorporating geometric descriptors to enhance sensitivity to structural anomalies. Furthermore, we introduce a joint representation learning strategy that leverages auxiliary point cloud data to improve robustness and enrich anomaly semantics. Extensive experiments on Real3D-AD and Anomaly-ShapeNet demonstrate that BTP achieves superior performance in ZS 3D anomaly detection.

Translating Signals to Languages for sEMG-Based Activity Recognition

Wang, Ming, Qu, Haoxuan, Ke, Qiuhong, Zhou, Wei, Rahmani, Hossein, Liu, Jun

原文摘要

Surface electromyography (sEMG) signal-based activity recognition has attracted increasing research attention in recent years. To develop accurate sEMG signal-based activity recognizers, numerous approaches have been proposed. Some studies focus on designing larger and more expressive model architectures to enhance the representational capacity of sEMG signals, while others aim to enrich model priors through large-scale pretraining, thereby improving recognition performance. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable generalization and reasoning capabilities in natural language processing, whose implicit knowledge, learned from extensive linguistic descriptions of actions, opens new possibilities for interpreting sEMG signals and inferring activity intentions. Motivated by this, we propose LLM-sEMG, a novel framework that leverages LLMs as sEMG activity recognizers. Within this framework, we design a language-oriented mapping mechanism that converts continuous sEMG sequences into "sEMG language," integrating several strategies to further facilitate the signal-to-language mapping process. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves highly accurate sEMG signal-based activity recognition using large language models.

Geometrically-Constrained Agent for Spatial Reasoning

Chen, Zeren, Lu, Xiaoya, Zheng, Zhijie, Li, Pengrui, He, Lehan, Zhou, Yijin, Shao, Jing, Zhuang, Bohan 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Vision Language Models (VLMs) exhibit a fundamental semantic-to-geometric gap in spatial reasoning: they excel at qualitative semantic inference but their reasoning operates within a lossy semantic space, misaligned with high-fidelity geometry. Current paradigms fail to bridge this gap. Training-based methods suffer from an "oracle paradox," learning flawed spatial logic from imperfect oracles. Tool-integrated methods constrain the final computation but critically leave the VLM's planning process unconstrained, resulting in geometrically flawed plans. In this work, we propose Geometrically-Constrained Agent (GCA), a training-free agentic paradigm that resolves this gap by introducing a formal task constraint. Specifically, we strategically decouples the VLM's role into two stages. First, acting as a semantic analyst, the VLM translates the user's ambiguous query into the formal, verifiable task constraint, which defines the reference frame and objective. Second, acting as a task solver, the VLM generates and executes tool calls strictly within the deterministic bounds defined by the constraint. This geometrically-constrained strategy successfully resolve the semantic-to-geometric gap, yielding a robust and verifiable reasoning pathway for complex spatial tasks. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that GCA achieves SOTA performance on multiple spatial reasoning benchmarks, surpassing existing training-based and tool-integrated methods by 27%.

Thinking with Video: Video Generation as a Promising Multimodal Reasoning Paradigm

Tong, Jingqi, Mou, Yurong, Li, Hangcheng, Li, Mingzhe, Yang, Yongzhuo, Zhang, Ming, Chen, Qiguang, Liang, Tianyi 等 14 位作者

原文摘要

The "Thinking with Text" and "Thinking with Images" paradigms significantly improve the reasoning abilities of large language models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs). However, these paradigms have inherent limitations. (1) Images capture only single moments and fail to represent dynamic processes or continuous changes, and (2) The separation of text and vision as distinct modalities, which hinders unified multimodal understanding and generation. Therefore, we propose "Thinking with Video", a new paradigm that leverages video generation models such as Sora-2 to use video frames as a unified medium for multimodal reasoning. To support this exploration, we developed the Video Thinking Benchmark (VideoThinkBench), which covers both vision-centric tasks (e.g., Eyeballing Puzzles) and text-centric tasks (e.g., GSM8K and MMMU). Our evaluation on VideoThinkBench establishes Sora-2 as a capable reasoner. On vision-centric tasks, Sora-2 is comparable to state-of-the-art (SOTA) VLMs, and even surpasses GPT-5 by 10% on eyeballing puzzles. On text-centric tasks, Sora-2 achieves 92% accuracy on MATH, and 69.2% accuracy on MMMU. Furthermore, we systematically analyze the source of these abilities. We also find that self-consistency and in-context learning can improve Sora-2's performance. In summary, our findings show that the video generation model is the potential unified multimodal understanding and generation model, positioning "Thinking with Video" as a potential unified multimodal reasoning paradigm.

TransPrune: Token Transition Pruning for Efficient Large Vision-Language Model

Li, Ao, Duan, Yuxiang, Zhang, Jinghui, Ma, Congbo, Xie, Yutong, Carneiro, Gustavo, Yaqub, Mohammad, Wang, Hu

原文摘要

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have advanced multimodal learning but face high computational cost issues due to the input of large number of visual tokens, motivating token pruning to improve inference efficiency.The key challenge lies in identifying which tokens are truly important.Most existing approaches rely on attention- or similarity-based criteria to estimate token importance.However, they inherently suffer from certain limitations, such as being task-agnostic and exhibiting positional bias.In this work, we explore a new perspective on token importance assignment based on token transitions in LVLMs, where token transitions are defined as the changes in token representations occurring as they propagate through the model's modules.We observe that the transition of token representations provides a meaningful signal of semantic information.Based on this insight, we propose TransPrune, a training-free and efficient token pruning method.Specifically, TransPrune progressively prunes tokens by assessing their importance through a combination of Token Transition Variation (TTV), which measures changes in both the magnitude and direction of token representations; as well as Instruction-Guided Attention (IGA), which measures how strongly the instruction attends to visual tokens via attention.Extensive experiments on various LVLM architectures, such as LLaVA-v1.5, LLaVA-Next and Qwen2.5-VL, demonstrate that TransPrune maintains comparable multimodal performance while reducing inference TFLOPs by more than half. The code is available at https://github.com/liaolea/TransPrune.

JoPPO: Hierarchical Photography Assessment via Contrastive Joint Conditional Probabilistic Reinforcement Learning

Yang, Yifan, Wang, Juntuo, Qiao, Yuming, Zhang, Xudong, Yu, Chunyang, Li, Yan, Lin, Xiao, Luo, Liang 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

With the advancement of Vision-Language Models (VLMs), employing VLM-as-a-Judge for visual evaluation has become a widely adopted metric in vision research. However, existing VLM-as-a-Judge approaches suffer from biased scoring outcomes with low discrimination and lack the capacity for unified multi-attribute compositional assessment. To address these limitations, we propose a novel training paradigm, termed JoPPO (**Jo**int **P**robabilistic **P**olicy **O**ptimization) that enables the VLMs to learn ranking under compositional assessment constraints. We evaluate the JoPPO on image aesthetics as a testbed, a task requiring nuanced understanding of multiple attributes including composition, lighting, color and geometry. Training follows two stages: (1) Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on synthetic composition dataset provided by automated data generation pipeline to instill compositional priors; and (2) Contrastive Joint Conditional Probabilistic Reinforcement Learning: building upon the GRPO algorithm, we introduce JoPPO, which compute reward based on the expected win rate of total scores derived from the conditional distribution of fine-grained attribute scores within batches, effectively enhancing the model's discriminative ability in composite evaluation. Across standard aesthetic benchmarks, our method achieves consistent improvements in ranking consistency, demonstrating strong zero-shot generalization.

TVHighlights: LLM-Guided Human-Free Collaborative Training for Video Highlight Detection in Movies and TV Dramas

Qiu, Qi, Wu, Xuan, Peng, Jiawei, Miao, Yuan, Yang, Xu, Du, Yanlong

原文摘要

Video highlight detection aims to identify the most engaging segments in long-form videos, supporting content editing and recommendation, especially for movies and TV dramas. However, existing methods are ill-suited to cinematic content due to its narrative complexity, while the scarcity of annotated data and the high cost of manual labeling further hinder progress. To bridge this gap, we introduce **TVHighlights**, the first large-scale dataset tailored for video highlight detection in movies and TV dramas, with 1,721 carefully curated videos covering diverse genres. Built on community-driven behaviors, it provides realistic and diverse annotations without human labeling. Based on TVHighlights, we propose **LTV-HD**: a LLM-guided, human-free collaborative training framework for video highlight detection in cinematic content. LTV-HD operates in two stages: (1) weakly supervised pre-training of a lightweight model using video-level labels, followed by (2) iterative refinement through collaboration between large language models (LLMs) and the lightweight model. LLMs generate noisy clip-level pseudo-labels, which the lightweight model learns from under a noise-robust strategy, and its high-confidence predictions are then fed back to guide the LLM in distilling genre-specific highlight patterns through a self-improving loop. Experiments demonstrate that LTV-HD achieves state-of-the-art performance on TVHighlights, validating its effectiveness in real-world, annotation-free scenarios.

ChartNet: A Million-Scale, High-Quality Multimodal Dataset for Robust Chart Understanding

Kondic, Jovana, Li, Pengyuan, Joshi, Dhiraj, Sanchez, Isaac, Wiesel, Ben, Abedin, Shafiq, Alfassy, Amit, Schwartz, Eli 等 24 位作者

原文摘要

Understanding charts requires models to jointly reason over geometric visual patterns, structured numerical data, and natural language -- a capability where current vision-language models (VLMs) remain limited. We introduce ChartNet, a high-quality, million-scale multimodal dataset designed to advance chart interpretation and reasoning. ChartNet leverages a novel code-guided synthesis pipeline to generate 1.5 million diverse chart samples spanning 24 chart types and 6 plotting libraries. Each sample consists of five aligned components: plotting code, rendered chart image, data table, natural language summary, and question-answering with reasoning, providing fine-grained cross-modal alignment. To capture the full spectrum of chart comprehension, ChartNet additionally includes specialized subsets encompassing human annotated data, real-world data, safety, and grounding. Moreover, a rigorous quality-filtering pipeline ensures visual fidelity, semantic accuracy, and diversity across chart representations. Fine-tuning on ChartNet consistently improves results across benchmarks, demonstrating its utility as large-scale supervision for multimodal models. As the largest open-source dataset of its kind, ChartNet aims to support the development of foundation models with robust and generalizable capabilities for data visualization understanding. The dataset is publicly available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/ibm-granite/ChartNet

ViKey: Enhancing Temporal Understanding in Videos via Visual Prompting

Lee, Yeonkyung, Ju, Dayun, Kim, Youngmin, Kang, Seil, Hwang, Seong Jae

原文摘要

Recent advancements in Video Large Language Models (VideoLLMs) have enabled strong performance across diverse multimodal video tasks. To reduce the high computational cost of processing dense video frames, efficiency-oriented methods such as frame selection have been widely adopted. While effective at minimizing redundancy, these methods often cause notable performance drops on tasks requiring temporal reasoning. Unlike humans, who can infer event progression from sparse visual cues, VideoLLMs frequently misinterpret temporal relations when intermediate frames are omitted. To address this limitation, we explore visual prompting (VP) as a lightweight yet effective way to enhance temporal understanding in VideoLLMs. Our analysis reveals that simply annotating each frame with explicit ordinal information helps the model perceive temporal continuity. This visual cue also supports frame-level referencing and mitigates positional ambiguity within a sparsely sampled sequence. Building on these insights, we introduce ViKey, a training-free framework that combines VP with a lightweight Keyword-Frame Mapping (KFM) module. KFM leverages frame indices as dictionary-like keys to link textual cues to the most relevant frames, providing explicit temporal anchors during inference. Despite its simplicity, our approach substantially improves temporal reasoning and, on some datasets, preserves dense-frame baseline performance with as few as 20% of frames.

Rethinking Intermediate Representation for VLM-based Robot Manipulation

Tang, Weiliang, Gao, Jialin, Pan, Jia-Hui, Wang, Gang, Li, Li Erran, Liu, Yun-Hui, Ding, Mingyu, Heng, Pheng-Ann 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Vision-Language Model (VLM) is now an important component to enable robust robot manipulation. Yet, using it to translate human instructions into an action-resolvable intermediate representation often needs a tradeoff between VLM-comprehensibility and generalizability. Inspired by context-free grammar structure, we design the Semantic Assembly representation named SEAM, by decomposing the intermediate representation into vocabulary and grammar. Doing so leads us to a concise vocabulary of semantically-rich operations and a VLM-friendly grammar for handling diverse unseen tasks. Also, we design a novel open-vocabulary segmentation paradigm with an in-context learning strategy to precisely localize fine-grained object parts for manipulation (e.g., cup handle, teapot opening) effectively with the shortest inference time over all state-of-the-art parallel works. We then formulate new metrics for action-generalizability and VLM-comprehensibility to evaluate mainstream representations, demonstrating the strong performance of SEAM on both aspects. Extensive real-world experiments further manifest the SOTA performance of SEAM under varying settings and tasks.

DextER: Language-driven Dexterous Grasp Generation with Embodied Reasoning

Lee, Junha, Park, Eunha, Cho, Minsu

原文摘要

Language-driven dexterous grasp generation requires the models to understand task semantics, 3D geometry, and complex hand-object interactions. While vision-language models have been applied to this problem, existing approaches directly map observations to grasp parameters without intermediate reasoning about physical interactions. We present DextER, Dexterous Grasp Generation with Embodied Reasoning, which introduces contact-based embodied reasoning for multi-finger manipulation. Our key insight is that predicting which hand links contact where on the object surface provides an embodiment-aware intermediate representation, bridging task semantics with physical constraints. DextER autoregressively generates embodied contact tokens specifying which finger links contact where on the object surface, followed by grasp tokens encoding the hand configuration. On DexGYS, DextER achieves 67.14% success rate, outperforming state-of-the-art by 3.83 p.p. with 96.4% improvement in intention alignment. We also demonstrate steerable generation through partial contact specification, providing fine-grained control over grasp synthesis.

StaR-KVQA: Structured Reasoning Traces for Implicit-Knowledge Visual Question Answering

Wen, Zhihao, Wei, Wenkang, Fang, Yuan, Yu, Xingtong, Zhang, Hui, Zhu, Weicheng, Zhang, Xin

原文摘要

Knowledge-based Visual Question Answering (KVQA) requires models to ground entities in images and reason over factual knowledge. Recent work has introduced its implicit-knowledge variant, IK-KVQA, where a multimodal large language model (MLLM) is the sole knowledge source and answers are produced without external retrieval. Existing IK-KVQA approaches, however, are typically trained with answer-only supervision: reasoning remains implicit, justifications are often weak or inconsistent, and generalization after standard supervised fine-tuning (SFT) can be brittle. We propose StaR-KVQA, a framework that equips IK-KVQA with dual-path structured reasoning traces--symbolic relation paths over text and vision together with path-grounded natural-language explanations--to provide a stronger inductive bias than generic answer-only supervision. These traces act as modality-aware scaffolds that guide the model toward relevant entities and attributes, offering more structure than generic chain-of-thought supervision while not constraining reasoning to any single fixed path. With a single open-source MLLM, StaR-KVQA constructs and selects traces to build an offline trace-enriched dataset and then performs structure-aware self-distillation; no external retrievers, verifiers, or curated knowledge bases are used, and inference is a single autoregressive pass. Across benchmarks, StaR-KVQA consistently improves both answer accuracy and the transparency of intermediate reasoning, achieving up to +11.3% higher answer accuracy on OK-VQA over the strongest baseline.

FedMPT: Federated Multi-Label Prompt Tuning of Vision-Language Models

Wang, Xucong, Wang, Pengkun, Zhao, Zhe, Yu, Liheng, Wang, Shuang, Wang, Yang

原文摘要

Multi-Label Recognition (MLR) based on Vision-Language Models (VLMs) aims to leverage their pre-trained knowledge to better adapt complex recognition scenarios, thereby enhancing model robustness. However, for realistic decentralized applications requiring federated learning, adapting VLMs to each client that possesses private and heterogeneous data can cause the model to overfit spurious label correlations, consequently triggering irrelevant categories when encountering new samples. To tackle this problem, we reconsider the federated learning for MLR with a causal model, in which we adopt a front-door adjustment and decouple the MLR modeling process by intermediate variables that magnify the oracle label co-occurrence. Guided by our analysis, we propose our FedMPT, the first method specifically designed for federated MLR. The core idea of FedMPT is to leverage generalizable conditions to steer federated MLR to mitigate erroneous label activations. To achieve this, FedMPT introduces an Large Language Model (LLM)-driven pipeline to decipher the underlying conditions that govern label dependencies. Furthermore, we introduce an optimal transport between the condition-enriched prompts and the image patches to uncover multiple region-level semantics. Finally, we generate synergistic predictions from different conditions with a crafted gating mechanism. Experiments on multiple benchmark datasets show that our proposed approach achieves competitive results and outperforms SOTA methods under varied settings.

SurgCoT: Advancing Spatiotemporal Reasoning in Surgical Videos through a Chain-of-Thought Benchmark

Wang, Gui, Zhou, YongSong, Deng, Kaijun, Cheah, Wooi Ping, Qu, Rong, Ren, Jianfeng, Shen, Linlin

原文摘要

Fine-grained spatiotemporal reasoning on surgical videos is critical, yet the capabilities of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in this domain remain largely unexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce SurgCoT, a unified benchmark for evaluating chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning in MLLMs across 7 surgical specialties and 35 diverse procedures. SurgCoT assesses five core reasoning dimensions: Causal Action Ordering, Cue-Action Alignment, Affordance Mapping, Micro-Transition Localization, and Anomaly Onset Tracking, through a structured CoT framework with an intensive annotation protocol (Question-Option-Knowledge-Clue-Answer), where the Knowledge field provides essential background context and Clue provides definitive spatiotemporal evidence. Evaluation of 10 leading MLLMs shows: 1) commercial models outperform open-source and medical-specialized variants; 2) significant gaps exist in surgical CoT reasoning; 3) SurgCoT enables effective evaluation and enhances progressive spatiotemporal reasoning. SurgCoT provides a reproducible testbed to narrow the gap between MLLM capabilities and clinical reasoning demands. Code and data: https://github.com/CVI-SZU/SurgCoT.

Activation Matters: Test-time Activated Negative Labels for OOD Detection with Vision-Language Models

Zhang, Yabin, Varma, Maya, Gao, Yunhe, Delbrouck, Jean-Benoit, Liu, Jiaming, Wang, Chong, Langlotz, Curtis

原文摘要

Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection aims to identify samples that deviate from in-distribution (ID). One popular pipeline addresses this by introducing negative labels distant from ID classes and detecting OOD based on their distance to these labels.However, such labels may present poor activation on OOD samples, failing to capture the OOD characteristics. To address this, we propose \underline T est-time \underline A ctivated \underline N egative \underline L abels (TANL) by dynamically evaluating activation levels across the corpus dataset and mining candidate labels with high activation responses in the testing process. Specifically, TANL identifies high-confidence test images online and accumulates their assignment probabilities over the corpus to construct a label activation metric.Such a metric leverages historical test samples to adaptively align with the test distribution, enabling the selection of distribution-adaptive activated negative labels. By further exploring the activation information within the current testing batch, we introduce a more fine-grained, batch-adaptive variant. To fully utilize label activation knowledge, we propose an activation-aware score function that emphasizes negative labels with stronger activations, boosting performance and enhancing its robustness to the label number.Our TANL is training-free, test-efficient, and grounded in theoretical justification. Experiments on diverse backbones and wide task settings validate its effectiveness.Notably, on the large-scale ImageNet benchmark, TANL significantly reduces the FPR95 from 17.5% to 9.8%.Codes will be released.

Mario: Multimodal Graph Reasoning with Large Language Models

Sun, Yuanfu, Li, Kang, Guo, Pengkang, Liu, Jiajin, Tan, Qiaoyu

原文摘要

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have opened new avenues for multimodal reasoning. Yet, most existing methods still rely on pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) to encode image-text pairs in isolation, ignoring the relational structure that real-world multimodal data naturally form. This motivates reasoning on multimodal graphs (MMGs), where each node has textual and visual attributes and edges provide structural cues. Enabling LLM-based reasoning on such heterogeneous multimodal signals while preserving graph topology introduces two key challenges: resolving weak cross-modal consistency and handling heterogeneous modality preference. To address this, we propose Mario, a unified framework that simultaneously resolves the two above challenges and enables effective LLM-based reasoning over MMGs. Mario consists of two innovative stages. Firstly, a graph-conditioned VLM design that jointly refines textual and visual features through fine-grained cross-modal contrastive learning guided by graph topology. Secondly, a modality-adaptive graph instruction tuning mechanism that organizes aligned multimodal features into graph-aware instruction views and employs a learnable router to surface, for each node and its neighborhood, the most informative modality configuration to the LLM. Extensive experiments across diverse MMG benchmarks demonstrate that Mario consistently outperforms state-of-the-art graph models in both supervised and zero-shot scenarios for node classification and link prediction. The code will be made available at https://github.com/sunyuanfu/Mario.

KnowVal: A Knowledge-Augmented and Value-Guided Autonomous Driving System

Xia, Zhongyu, Chen, Wenhao, Wang, Yongtao, Yang, Ming-Hsuan

原文摘要

Visual-language reasoning, driving knowledge, and value alignment are essential for advanced autonomous driving systems. However, existing approaches largely rely on data-driven learning, making it difficult to capture the complex logic underlying decision-making through imitation or limited reinforcement rewards. To address this, we propose KnowVal, a new autonomous driving system that enables visual-language reasoning through the synergistic integration of open-world perception and knowledge retrieval. Specifically, we construct a comprehensive driving knowledge graph that encodes traffic laws, defensive driving principles, and ethical norms, complemented by an efficient LLM-based retrieval mechanism tailored for driving scenarios. Furthermore, we develop a human-preference dataset and train a Value Model to guide interpretable, value-aligned trajectory assessment. Experimental results show that our method substantially improves planning performance while remaining compatible with existing architectures. Notably, KnowVal achieves the lowest collision rate on nuScenes and state-of-the-art results on Bench2Drive and NAVSIM.

Blink: Dynamic Visual Token Resolution for Enhanced Multimodal Understanding

Feng, Yuchen, Zhang, Zhenyu, Gu, Naibin, Chen, Yilong, Fu, Peng, Lin, Zheng, Wang, Shuohuan, Sun, Yu 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress on various vision-language tasks, yet their visual perception remains limited. Humans, in comparison, perceive complex scenes efficiently by dynamically scanning and focusing on salient regions in a sequential "blink-like" process. Motivated by this strategy, we first investigate whether MLLMs exhibit similar behavior. Our pilot analysis reveals that MLLMs naturally attend to different visual regions across layers and that selectively allocating more computation to salient tokens can enhance visual perception. Building on this insight, we propose Blink, a dynamic visual token resolution framework that emulates the human-inspired process within a single forward pass. Specifically, Blink includes two modules: saliency-guided scanning and dynamic token resolution. It first estimates the saliency of visual tokens in each layer based on the attention map, and extends important tokens through a plug-and-play token super-resolution (TokenSR) module. In the next layer, it drops the extended tokens when they lose focus. This dynamic mechanism balances broad exploration and fine-grained focus, thereby enhancing visual perception adaptively and efficiently. Extensive experiments validate Blink, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing visual perception and multimodal understanding.

Improving Vision-language Models with Perception-centric Process Reward Models

Min, Yingqian, Zhou, Kun, Li, Yifan, Wu, Yuhuan, Peng, Han, Du, Yifan, Zhao, Wayne Xin, Yang, Min 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Recent advancements in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) have significantly improved the complex reasoning ability of vision-language models (VLMs). However, its outcome-level supervision is too coarse to diagnose and correct errors within the reasoning chain. To this end, we propose Perceval, a process reward model (PRM) that enables token-level error grounding, which can extract image-related claims from the response and compare them one by one with the visual evidence in the image, ultimately returning claims that contain perceptual errors. Perceval is trained with perception-intensive supervised training data. We then integrate Perceval into the RL training process to train the policy models. Specifically, compared to traditional GRPO, which applies sequence-level advantages, we apply token-level advantages by targeting penalties on hallucinated spans identified by Perceval, thus enabling fine-grained supervision signals. In addition to augmenting the training process, Perceval can also assist VLMs during the inference stage. Using Perceval, we can truncate the erroneous portions of the model's response, and then either have the model regenerate the response directly or induce the model to reflect on its previous output. This process can be repeated multiple times to achieve test-time scaling. Experiments show significant improvements on benchmarks from various domains across multiple reasoning VLMs trained with RL. For test-time scaling, it also demonstrates consistent performance gains over other strategies, such as major voting. Our code and data will be publicly released.

EVA: Efficient Reinforcement Learning for End-to-End Video Agent

Zhang, Yaolun, Wang, Ruohui, Wang, Jiahao, Tang, Yepeng, Zheng, Xuanyu, Duan, Haonan, Lu, Hao, Deng, Hanming 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Video understanding with multimodal large language models (MLLMs) remains challenging due to the long token sequences of videos, which contain extensive temporal dependencies and redundant frames.Existing approaches typically treat MLLMs as passive recognizers, processing entire videos or uniformly sampled frames without adaptive reasoning.Recent agent-based methods introduce external tools, yet still depend on manually designed workflows and perception-first strategies, resulting in inefficiency on long videos. We present EVA, an Efficient Reinforcement Learning framework for End-to-End Video Agent, which enables planning-before-perception through iterative summary-plan-action-reflection reasoning.EVA autonomously decides what to watch, when to watch, and how to watch, achieving query-driven and efficient video understanding.To train such agents, we design a simple yet effective three-stage learning pipeline--comprising supervised fine-tuning (SFT), Kahneman-Tversky Optimization (KTO), and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO)--that bridges supervised imitation and reinforcement learning.We further construct high-quality datasets for each stage, supporting stable and reproducible training.We evaluate EVA on six video understanding benchmarks, demonstrating its comprehensive capabilities. Compared with existing baselines, EVA achieves a substantial improvement of 6--12% over general MLLM baselines and a further 1--3% gain over prior adaptive agent methods.

Cross-Modal Attention Calibration for LVLM Hallucination Mitigation

Li, Jiaming, Zhang, Jiacheng, Jie, Zequn, Ma, Lin, Li, Ming, Luo, Xiaonan, Li, Guanbin

原文摘要

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in visual-language understanding. Despite their success, LVLMs still suffer from generating hallucinations in complex generation tasks, leading to inconsistencies between visual inputs and generated content. To address this issue, some approaches have introduced inference-time interventions, such as contrastive decoding, to reduce overreliance on language priors. However, these approaches overlook hallucinations stemming from position bias and spurious inter-modality correlations. In this paper, we propose a Cross-Modal Attention Calibration (CMAC) method to mitigate hallucinations in LVLMs in a training-free manner. In this method, we design an Inter-Modality Decoding (IMD) module to alleviate hallucination by a novel contrastive decoding mechanism. IMD masks the value vectors associated with significant cross-modal attention weights as distortion, which addresses both uni-modality overreliance and misleading inter-modality correlations. Additionally, a Cross-Modal Position Calibration (CMPC) module shrinks the position gap of image tokens, alleviating the position bias in cross-modal attention. Experimental results on diverse hallucination benchmarks validate the superiority of our method over existing state-of-the-art techniques in reducing hallucinations for LVLM. Our code will be available.

Towards Highly-Constrained Human Motion Generation with Retrieval-Guided Diffusion Noise Optimization

Liu, Hanchao, Zhang, Fang-Lue, Zhang, Shining, Mu, Tai-Jiang, Hu, Shi-Min

原文摘要

Generating human motion that satisfies customized zero-shot goal functions, enabling applications such as controllable character animation and behavior synthesis for virtual agents, is a critical capability. While current approaches handle many unseen constraints, they fail on tasks with very challenging spatiotemporal restrictions, such as severe spatial obstacles or specified numbers of walking steps. To equip motion generators for these highly constrained tasks, we present a retrieval-guided method built on the training-free diffusion noise optimization framework. The key idea is to search within large motion datasets for guidance that can potentially satisfy difficult constraints. We introduce relational task parsing to group target constraints and identify the difficult ones to be handled by retrieved reference. A better initialization for diffusion noise is then obtained via a reward-guided mask that combines random noise with retrieved noise. By optimizing diffusion noise from this improved initialization, we successfully solve highly constrained generation tasks. By leveraging LLM for relational task parsing, the whole framework is further enabled to automatically reason for what to retrieve, improving the intelligence of moving agents under a training-free optimization scheme.

GroundVTS: Visual Token Sampling in Multimodal Large Language Models for Video Temporal Grounding

Fan, Rong, Xiao, Kaiyan, Zhu, Minghao, Wang, Liuyi, Dai, Kai, Yang, Zhao

原文摘要

Video temporal grounding (VTG) is a critical task in video understanding and a key capability for extending video large language models (Vid-LLMs) to broader applications. However, existing Vid-LLMs rely on uniform frame sampling to extract video information, resulting in a sparse distribution of key frames and the loss of crucial temporal cues. To address this limitation, we propose Grounded Visual Token Sampling (GroundVTS), a Vid-LLM architecture that focuses on the most informative temporal segments. GroundVTS employs a fine-grained, query-guided mechanism to filter visual tokens before feeding them into the LLM, thereby preserving essential spatio-temporal information and maintaining temporal coherence. Futhermore, we introduce a progressive optimization strategy that enables the LLM to effectively adapt to the non-uniform distribution of visual features, enhancing its ability to model temporal dependencies and achieve precise video localization. We comprehensively evaluate GroundVTS on three standard VTG benchmarks, where it outperforms existing methods, achieving a 7.7-point improvement in mIoU for moment retrieval and 12.0-point improvement in mAP for highlight detection. Code is available at the \href https://github.com/Florence365/GroundVTS GroundVTS code repository .

Resolving Evidence Sparsity: Agentic Context Engineering for Long-Document Understanding

Liu, Keliang, Chen, Zizhi, Li, Mingcheng, Tang, Jingqun, Yang, Dingkang, Zhang, Lihua

原文摘要

Document understanding is a long-standing practical task. Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have gradually become a primary approach in this domain, demonstrating effective performance on single-page tasks. However, their effectiveness diminishes when handling long documents. In such scenarios, clues are often scattered across multiple pages and modalities, and redundancy from lengthy inputs can impair the model's judgment. While retrieval-augmented generation mitigates this issue by filtering for question-relevant content, the retrieved results still contain substantial redundancy. To address these limitations, we propose SLEUTH, a multi-agent framework. Concretely, SLEUTH orchestrates a retriever and four collaborative agents in a coarse-to-fine process. The framework identifies key textual and visual clues within the retrieved pages, filters for salient visual evidence such as tables and charts, and analyzes the query to devise a reasoning strategy. It ultimately synthesizes a distilled, evidence-dense multimodal context to generate the final prediction. SLEUTH is model-agnostic and scalable. When paired with advanced VLM backbones, it consistently improves performance on multiple long-document benchmarks, achieving SOTA results. Ablation studies verify each module's effectiveness and confirm the benefits of our hierarchical refinement paradigm.

ORION: ORthonormal Text Encoding for Universal VLM AdaptatION

Chakraborty, Omprakash, Dolz, Jose, Ben Ayed, Ismail

原文摘要

Vision-language models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable generalization across diverse tasks, yet their performance remains constrained by the quality and geometry of the textual prototypes used to represent classes. Standard zero-shot classifiers, derived from frozen text encoders and handcrafted prompts, may yield correlated or weakly separated embeddings that limit task-specific discriminability. We introduce ORION, a text encoder fine-tuning framework that improves pretrained VLMs using only class names. Our method optimizes, via low-rank adaptation, a novel loss integrating two terms, one promoting pairwise orthogonality between the textual representations of the classes of a given task and the other penalizing deviations from the initial class prototypes. Furthermore, we provide a probabilistic interpretation of our orthogonality penalty, connecting it to the general maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) principle via Huygens' theorem. We report extensive experiments on 11 benchmarks and three large VLM backbones, showing that the refined textual embeddings yield powerful replacements for the standard CLIP prototypes. Added as plug-and-play module on top of various state-of-the-art methods, and across different prediction settings (zero-shot, few-shot and test-time adaptation), ORION improves the performance consistently and significantly.
