MedMO: Grounding and Understanding Multimodal Large Language Model for Medical Images

Deria, Ankan, Kumar, Komal, Dukre, Adinath Madhavrao, Segal, Eran, Khan, Salman, Razzak, Imran

原文摘要

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have rapidly advanced, yet their adoption in medicine remains limited by gaps in domain coverage, modality alignment, and grounded reasoning. In this work, we introduce MedMO, a medical foundation model built upon a generalized MLLM architecture and trained exclusively on large-scale, domain-specific data. MedMO follows a multi-stage training recipe: (i) cross-modal pretraining to align heterogeneous visual encoders with a medical language backbone; (ii) instruction tuning on multi-task supervision that spans captioning, VQA, report generation, retrieval, and grounded disease localization with bounding boxes; and (iii) reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards that combine factuality checks with a box-level GIoU reward to strengthen spatial grounding and reasoning in complex clinical scenarios. MedMO consistently outperforms strong open-source medical MLLMs across multiple modalities and tasks. On VQA benchmarks, MedMO achieves an average accuracy improvement of +21.3% over the baseline and performs within 0.6% of the SOTA Fleming-VL. For text-based QA, it attains +7.9% over the baseline and +15.6% over Fleming-VL. In medical report generation, MedMO delivers significant gains in both semantic and clinical accuracy. Moreover, it exhibits strong grounding capability, achieving an IoU improvement of +40.4 over the baseline and +37.0% over Fleming-VL, underscoring its robust spatial reasoning and localization performance. Evaluations across radiology, ophthalmology, pathology, and emergency care confirm MedMO's broad cross-modality generalization and reliable spatial reasoning.

MoEActok: A MoE-based Action Tokenizer for Vision-Language-Action Models

Xu, Chunpu, Liang, Zhixuan, Yang, Tianshuo, Chan, Chi-Min, Xiao, Yang, Wang, Jessie, Yang, Xiaokang, Mu, Yao

原文摘要

Recent works on vision-language-action (VLA) models have made great progress in exploring action tokenizers that convert continuous control signals into discrete tokens to align with LLM/VLM training paradigms.These approaches typically train a single tokenizer over entire manipulation trajectories, which often comprise multiple distinct skills and thus pose a challenging optimization trade-off.To address this issue, we introduce MoEActok, a novel action tokenizer that employs a mixture-of-experts (MoE) quantizer to produce skill-aware discrete representations for VLA models. MoEActok utilizes a clustering-driven MoE VQ-VAE mechanism in which each expert specializes in a particular skill.The key components are: (a) an action-skill decoupling strategy that uses k-means clustering to group action chunks, aligning clusters having similar skills; (b) a skill-aware training paradigm that augments VLA models with skill-conditioned context, improving skill grounding; and (c) an adapter that projects shared encoder representations into skill-specific latent spaces for specialized quantization, and subsequently harmonize the heterogeneous quantized representations back into a unified space for coherent reconstruction by the shared decoder.We evaluate MoEActok-based VLA models against multiple prior action tokenizer baselines in the RoboTwin and Simpler-Env simulators, and further assess zero-shot transfer on three real-world tasks. Across both simulated and real-world settings, MoEActok-based VLA substantially outperforms existing discrete tokenization methods.

Soft Modality-Guided Expert Specialization in MoE-VLMs

Bo, Zi-Hao, Li, Yaqian, Hou, Anzhou, Takezoe, Rinyoichi, Zhao, Ertao, Pan, Tianxiang, Yan, Jiale, Guang, Mo 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has become a prevalent backbone for large vision-language models (VLMs), yet how modality-specific signals should guide expert routing remains under-explored. Existing routing strategies are either hand-crafted or modality-agnostic, relying on idealized priors that ignore the layer-dependent modality fusion patterns in MoE-VLMs and provide little guidance for expert specialization. We propose Soft Modality-guided Expert Specialization (SMoES), which consists of dynamic soft modality scores that capture layer-dependent fusion patterns, an expert binning mechanism aligned with expert-parallel deployment, and an inter-bin mutual information regularization that encourages coherent modality specialization. Our method leverages attention-based or Gaussian-statistics modality scores to optimize mutual information regularization. Experiments across four MoE-based VLMs and 16 benchmarks demonstrate improvement on both effectiveness and efficiency: 0.9% and 4.2% average gain on multimodal and language-only tasks, 56.1% reduction in EP communication overhead, and 12.3% throughput improvement under realistic deployment. These results validate that aligning routing with modality-aware expert specialization unlocks MoE-VLM capacity and efficiency.

GT-SVJ: Generative-Transformer-Based Self-Supervised Video Judge For Efficient Video Reward Modeling

Shekhar, Shivanshu, Bhattacharya, Uttaran, Addanki, Raghavendra, Tanjim, Mehrab, Sarkhel, Somdeb, Zhang, Tong

原文摘要

Aligning video generative models with human preferences remains challenging: current approaches rely on Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for reward modeling, but these models struggle to capture subtle temporal dynamics. We propose a fundamentally different approach: repurposing video generative models, which are inherently designed to model temporal structure, as reward models. We present the Generative-Transformer-based Self-Supervised Video Judge (\modelname), a novel evaluation model that transforms state-of-the-art video generation models into powerful temporally-aware reward models. Our key insight is that generative models can be reformulated as energy-based models (EBMs) that assign low energy to high-quality videos and high energy to degraded ones, enabling them to discriminate video quality with remarkable precision when trained via contrastive objectives. To prevent the model from exploiting superficial differences between real and generated videos, we design challenging synthetic negative videos through controlled latent-space perturbations: temporal slicing, feature swapping, and frame shuffling, which simulate realistic but subtle visual degradations. This forces the model to learn meaningful spatiotemporal features rather than trivial artifacts. \modelname achieves state-of-the-art performance on GenAI-Bench and MonteBench using only 30K human-annotations: 6xto 65xfewer than existing VLM-based approaches.

Enhancing Continual Learning of Vision-Language Models via Dynamic Prefix Weighting

Jang, Hyeonseo, Kwon, Hyuk, Lee, Kibok

原文摘要

We investigate recently introduced domain-class incremental learning scenarios for vision-language models (VLMs). Recent works address this challenge using parameter-efficient methods, such as prefix-tuning or adapters, which facilitate model adaptation to downstream tasks by incorporating task-specific information into input tokens through additive vectors. However, previous approaches often normalize the weights of these vectors, disregarding the fact that different input tokens require different degrees of adjustment. To overcome this issue, we propose Dynamic Prefix Weighting (DPW), a framework that dynamically assigns weights to prefixes, complemented by adapters. DPW consists of 1) a gating module that adjusts the weights of each prefix based on the importance of the corresponding input token, and 2) a weighting mechanism that derives adapter output weights as a residual of prefix-tuning weights, ensuring that adapters are utilized only when necessary. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in domain-class incremental learning scenarios for VLMs. The code is available at: https://github.com/YonseiML/dpw.

FocusUI: Efficient UI Grounding via Position-Preserving Visual Token Selection

Ouyang, Mingyu, Lin, Kevin Qinghong, Shou, Mike Zheng, Ng, Hwee Tou

原文摘要

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown strong performance on User Interface (UI) grounding tasks, driven by their ability to process increasingly high-resolution screenshots. However, screenshots are tokenized into thousands of visual tokens (e.g., about 4,700 for 2K resolution), which incurs significant computational overhead and dilutes attention. In contrast, humans typically focus on regions of interest when interacting with UIs. In this work, we pioneer the task of efficient UI grounding. We propose FocusUI, an efficient UI grounding framework that selects patches most relevant to the instruction while preserving positional continuity for precise grounding. FocusUI addresses two key challenges: (1) eliminating redundant tokens in visual encoding by constructing patch-level supervision that fuses an instruction-conditioned score with a rule-based UI-graph score, down-weighting large homogeneous regions to select distinct and instruction-relevant visual tokens; and (2) preserving positional continuity during visual token selection. We find that general visual token pruning methods suffer from severe accuracy degradation on UI grounding tasks due to broken positional information. To address this, we introduce a PosPad strategy, which compresses each contiguous sequence of dropped visual tokens into a single special marker placed at the sequence's last index to preserve positional continuity. Comprehensive experiments on four grounding benchmarks demonstrate that FocusUI surpasses GUI-specific baselines. On the ScreenSpot-Pro benchmark, FocusUI-7B achieves a 3.7% performance improvement over GUI-Actor-7B. Even with only 30% visual token retention, the performance of FocusUI-7B drops by just 3.2%, while achieving up to 1.44x faster inference and 17% lower peak GPU memory.

TDATR: Improving End-to-End Table Recognition via Table Detail-Aware Learning and Cell-Level Visual Alignment

Qin, Chunxia, Liu, Chenyu, Xia, Pengcheng, Du, Jun, Yin, Baocai, Yin, Bing, Liu, Cong

原文摘要

Tables are pervasive in diverse documents, making table recognition (TR) a fundamental task in document analysis. Existing modular TR pipelines separately model table structure and content, leading to suboptimal integration and complex workflows.End-to-end approaches rely heavily on large-scale TR data and struggle in data-constrained scenarios.To address these issues, we propose TDATR (Table Detail-Aware Table Recognition) improves end-to-end TR through table detail-aware learning and cell-level visual alignment.TDATR adopts a "perceive-then-fuse" strategy. The model first performs table detail-aware learning to jointly perceive table structure and content through multiple structure understanding and content recognition tasks designed under a language modeling paradigm. These tasks can naturally leverage document data from diverse scenarios to enhance model robustness.The model then integrates implicit table details to generate structured HTML outputs, enabling more efficient TR modeling when trained with limited data.Furthermore, we design a structure-guided cell localization module integrated into the end-to-end TR framework, which efficiently locates cell and strengthens vision-language alignment. It enhances the interpretability and accuracy of TR.We achieve state-of-the-art or highly competitive performance on seven benchmarks without dataset-specific fine-tuning.

Grounding Everything in Tokens for Multimodal Large Language Models

Ren, Xiangxuan, Wang, Zhongdao, Hou, Liping, Tang, Pin, Wang, Guoqing, Ma, Chao

原文摘要

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made significant advancements in vision understanding and reasoning. However, the autoregressive Transformer architecture used by MLLMs requires tokenization on input images, which limits their ability to accurately ground objects within the 2D image space. This raises an important question: how can sequential language tokens be improved to better ground objects in 2D spatial space for MLLMs? To address this, we present a spatial representation method for grounding objects, namely GETok, that integrates a specialized vocabulary of learnable tokens into MLLMs. GETok first uses grid tokens to partition the image plane into structured spatial anchors, and then exploits offset tokens to enable precise and iterative refinement of localization predictions. By embedding spatial relationships directly into tokens, GETok significantly advances MLLMs in native 2D space reasoning without modifying the autoregressive architecture. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GETok achieves superior performance over the state-of-the-art methods across various referring tasks in both supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning settings.

FB-CLIP: Fine-Grained Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection with Foreground-Background Disentanglement

Hu, Ming, Huo, Yongsheng, Dou, Mingyu, Yin, Jianfu, Zhao, Peng, Wang, Yao, Hu, Cong, Hu, Bingliang 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Fine-grained anomaly detection is crucial in industrial and medical applications, but labeled anomalies are often scarce, making zero-shot detection challenging. While vision-language models like CLIP offer promising solutions, they struggle with foreground-background feature entanglement and coarse textual semantics. We propose FB-CLIP, a framework that enhances anomaly localization via multi-strategy textual representations and foreground-background separation. In the textual modality, it combines End-of-Text features, global-pooled representations, and attention-weighted token features for richer semantic cues. In the visual modality, multi-view soft separation along identity, semantic, and spatial dimensions, together with background suppression, reduces interference and improves discriminability. Semantic Consistency Regularization (SCR) aligns image features with normal and abnormal textual prototypes, suppressing uncertain matches and enlarging semantic gaps. Experiments show that FB-CLIP effectively distinguishes anomalies from complex backgrounds, achieving accurate fine-grained anomaly detection and localization under zero-shot settings.

ReaGEN: Adaptive Generation of Structured Chains-of-Thought for Efficient Multimodal Reasoning

Tian, Ruiqing, Singamsetti, Mohan Sai, Niu, Di, Rashidi, Bahador

原文摘要

Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) exhibit strong perceptual and linguistic capabilities yet struggle with complex visual reasoning tasks that require structured, compositional, and adaptive inference. Existing approaches either rely on costly inference-time exploration--such as multi-path or tree-based Chain-of-Thought (CoT) search--or on expensive post-training with large curated CoT datasets. We propose ReaGEN, a lightweight framework for the adaptive generation of structured reasoning chains that enhances reasoning without modifying the underlying vision-language model (VLM). ReaGEN first employs a teacher-guided evolutionary search to collect sample specific CoT structure, leveraging attention-derived stage importance to capture how information flows across reasoning stages. These adaptive CoT structures are then used to train a compact generator (GEN) that learns to refine and improve CoT structures by reflecting on attention feedback from the reasoning process. At inference, the GEN dynamically produces question-adaptive structured CoTs, and can be iteratively invoked to refine them based on the VLM's internal state--achieving the flexibility of deep search with single-path efficiency. Across diverse multimodal reasoning benchmarks, ReaGEN achieves up to +26 accuracy points over test-time scaling methods while reducing the average inference-time token usage by 79%, making it a scalable approach for structured reasoning generation in self-hosted or open-source VLMs with access to internal attention signals.

AGENTSAFE: Benchmarking the Safety of Embodied Agents on Hazardous Instructions

Ying, Zonghao, Wang, Le, Xiao, Yisong, Wang, Jiakai, Ma, Yuqing, Guo, Jinyang, Yin, Zhenfei, Zhang, Mingchuan 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

The integration of vision-language models (VLMs) is driving a new generation of embodied agents capable of operating in human-centered environments. However, as deployment expands, these systems face growing safety risks, particularly when executing hazardous instructions. Current safety evaluation benchmarks remain limited: they cover only narrow scopes of hazards and focus primarily on final outcomes, neglecting the agent's full perception-planning-execution process and thereby obscuring critical failure modes. Therefore, we present SAFE, a benchmark for systematically assessing the safety of embodied VLM agents on hazardous instructions. SAFE comprises three components: SAFE-THOR, an extensible adversarial simulation sandbox with a universal adapter that maps high-level VLM outputs to low-level embodied controls, supporting diverse agent workflow integration; SAFE-VERSE, a risk-aware task suite inspired by Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, comprising 45 adversarial scenarios, 1,350 hazardous tasks, and 9,900 instructions that span risks to humans, environments, and agents; and SAFE-DIAGNOSE, a multi-level and fine-grained evaluation protocol measuring agent performance across perception, planning, and execution. Applying SAFE to nine state-of-the-art VLMs and two embodied agent workflows, we uncover systematic failures in translating hazard recognition into safe planning and execution. Our findings reveal fundamental limitations in current safety alignment and demonstrate the necessity of a comprehensive, multi-stage evaluation for developing safer embodied intelligence.

Multi-Modal Representation Learning via Semi-Supervised Rate Reduction for Generalized Category Discovery

He, Wei, Meng, Xianghan, Huang, Zhiyuan, Qi, Xianbiao, Xiao, Rong, Li, Chun-Guang

原文摘要

Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) aims to identify both known and unknown categories, with only partial labels given for the known categories, posing a challenging open-set recognition problem. State-of-the-art approaches for GCD are usually built on multi-modality representation learning, which pays heavily attention upon inter-modality alignment rather than intra-modality alignment. In this paper, we propose a novel and effective multi-modal representation learning approach for GCD via Semi-Supervised Rate Reduction, called SSR^2-GCD, to learn cross-modality representations with desired underlying structure properties via properly harnessing intra-modality alignment. Moreover, to boost knowledge transfer, we integrate prompt candidates by leveraging the inter-modal alignment offered by Vision Language Models. We conduct extensive experiments on generic and fine-grained benchmark datasets, demonstrating superior performance of the proposed approach and verifying the importance of harnessing an proper intra-modality alignment.

Recurrent Reasoning with Vision-Language Models for Estimating Long-Horizon Embodied Task Progress

Zhang, Yuelin, Cheng, Sijie, Li, Chen, Li, Zongzhao, Huang, Yuxin, Liu, Yang, Huang, Wenbing

原文摘要

Accurately estimating task progress is critical for embodied agents to plan and execute long-horizon, multi-step tasks. Despite promising advances, existing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) based methods primarily leverage their video understanding capabilities, while neglecting their complex reasoning potential. Furthermore, processing long video trajectories with VLMs is computationally prohibitive for real-world deployment. To address these challenges, we propose the Recurrent Reasoning Vision-Language Model (\text R ^2VLM). Our model features a recurrent reasoning framework that processes local video snippets iteratively, maintaining a global context through an evolving Chain of Thought (CoT). This CoT explicitly records task decomposition, key steps, and their completion status, enabling the model to reason about complex temporal dependencies. This design avoids the high cost of processing long videos while preserving essential reasoning capabilities. We train \text R ^2VLM on large-scale, automatically generated datasets from ALFRED and Ego4D. Extensive experiments on progress estimation and downstream applications, including progress-enhanced policy learning, reward modeling for reinforcement learning, and proactive assistance, demonstrate that \text R ^2VLM achieves strong performance and generalization, achieving a new state-of-the-art in long-horizon task progress estimation. The models and benchmarks are publicly available at https://huggingface.co/collections/zhangyuelin/r2vlm.

RealAppiance: Let High-fidelity Appliance Assets Controllable and Workable as Aligned Real Manauls

Gao, Yuzheng, Long, Yuxing, Kang, Lei, Guo, Yuchong, Yu, Ziyan, Mao, Shangqing, Zhang, Jiyao, Wu, Ruihai 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Existing appliance assets suffer from poor rendering, incomplete mechanisms, and misalignment with manuals, leading to simulation-reality gaps that hinder appliance manipulation development. In this work, we introduce the RealAppliance dataset, comprising 100 high-fidelity appliances with complete physical, electronic mechanisms, and program logic aligned with their manuals. Based on these assets, we propose the RealAppliance-Bench benchmark, which evaluates multimodal large language models and embodied manipulation planning models across key tasks in appliance manipulation planning: manual page retrieval, appliance part grounding, open-loop manipulation planning, and closed-loop planning adjustment. Our analysis of model performances on RealAppliance-Bench provides insights for advancing appliance manipulation research

Reinforcing Structured Chain-of-Thought for Video Understanding

Wang, Peiyao, Xu, Haotian, Vesdapunt, Noranart, Hou, Rui, Zhang, Jingyi, Ling, Haibin, Obiednikov, Oleksandr, Zhou, Ning 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) show promise in video understanding. However, their reasoning often suffers from thinking drift and weak temporal comprehension, even when enhanced by Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques like Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). Moreover, existing RL methods usually depend on Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), which requires costly Chain-of-Thought (CoT) annotation and multi-stage training, and enforces fixed reasoning paths, limiting MLLMs' ability to generalize and potentially inducing bias. To overcome these limitations, we introduce Summary-Driven Reinforcement Learning (SDRL), a novel single-stage RL framework that obviates the need for SFT by utilizing a Structured CoT format: Summarize - Think - Answer. SDRL introduces two self-supervised mechanisms integrated into the GRPO objective: 1) Consistency of Vision Knowledge (CVK) enforces factual grounding by reducing KL divergence among generated summaries; and 2) Dynamic Variety of Reasoning (DVR) promotes exploration by dynamically modulating thinking diversity based on group accuracy. This novel integration effectively balances alignment and exploration, supervising both the final answer and the reasoning process. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on seven public VideoQA datasets.

IAG: Input-aware Backdoor Attack on VLM-based Visual Grounding

Li, Junxian, Xu, Beining, Chen, Simin, Li, Jiatong, Lei, Jingdi, Zhao, Haodong, Zhang, Di

原文摘要

Recent advances in vision-language models (VLMs) have significantly enhanced the visual grounding task, which involves locating objects in an image based on natural language queries. Despite these advancements, the security of VLM-based grounding systems has not been thoroughly investigated. This paper reveals a novel and realistic vulnerability: the first multi-target backdoor attack on VLM-based visual grounding. Unlike prior attacks that rely on static triggers or fixed targets, we propose IAG, a method that dynamically generates input-aware, text-guided triggers conditioned on any specified target object description to execute the attack. This is achieved through a text-conditioned UNet that embeds imperceptible target semantic cues into visual inputs while preserving normal grounding performance on benign samples. We further develop a joint training objective that balances language capability with perceptual reconstruction to ensure imperceptibility, effectiveness, and stealth. Extensive experiments on multiple VLMs (e.g., LLaVA, InternVL, Ferret) and benchmarks (RefCOCO, RefCOCO+, RefCOCOg, Flickr30k Entities, and ShowUI) demonstrate that IAG achieves the best ASRs compared with other baselines on almost all settings without compromising clean accuracy, maintaining robustness against existing defenses, and exhibiting transferability across datasets and models. These findings underscore critical security risks in grounding-capable VLMs and highlight the need for further research on trustworthy multimodal understanding. Code is in the supplementary material.

Geoint-R1: Formalizing Multimodal Geometric Reasoning with Dynamic Auxiliary Constructions

Wei, Jingxuan, Jia, Caijun, Chen, Qi, He, Honghao, Sun, Linzhuang, He, Conghui, Wu, Lijun, Yu, Bihui 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Mathematical geometric reasoning is essential for scientific discovery and educational development, requiring precise logic and rigorous formal verification. While recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have improved reasoning tasks, existing models typically struggle with formal geometric reasoning, particularly when dynamically constructing and verifying auxiliary geometric elements. To address these challenges, we introduce Geoint-R1, a multimodal reasoning framework designed to generate formally verifiable geometric solutions from textual descriptions and visual diagrams. Geoint-R1 uniquely integrates auxiliary elements construction, formal reasoning represented via Lean4, and interactive visualization. To systematically evaluate and advance formal geometric reasoning, we propose the Geoint benchmark, comprising 1,885 rigorously annotated geometry problems across diverse topics such as plane, spatial, and solid geometry. Each problem includes structured textual annotations, precise Lean4 code for auxiliary constructions, and detailed solution steps verified by experts. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Geoint-R1 significantly surpasses existing multimodal and math-specific reasoning models, particularly on challenging problems requiring explicit auxiliary element constructions.

GThinker: Towards General Multimodal Reasoning via Cue-Guided Rethinking

Zhan, Yufei, Wu, Ziheng, Zhu, Yousong, Xue, Rongkun, Zhou, Guanghao, Luo, Ruipu, Chen, Zhenghao, Zhang, Can 等 14 位作者

原文摘要

Despite recent advances in multimodal reasoning, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) still struggle on complex tasks where initial visual perceptions can be misleading. This performance gap stems from a critical reasoning flaw we term Visual Inertia: while MLLMs excel at iterative reflection in textual contexts, they tend to uncritically commit to their initial visual interpretations and rarely revise them. To overcome this limitation, we introduce GThinker, an MLLM equipped with a novel adaptive visual rethinking capability. GThinker leverages Cue-Rethinking, a flexible reasoning pattern that not only grounds reasoning in visual cues but also strategically triggers a re-examination of these cues to resolve inconsistencies. To instill this capability, we introduce a novel two-stage training framework. It begins with a pattern-guided cold start, enhanced by a judge-guided selective mechanism to learn from failure cases, followed by incentive reinforcement learning. We further curate the GThinker-11K dataset to power the training with an iterative multimodal annotation pipeline. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GThinker significantly mitigates visual inertia during reasoning, achieving a leading 81.5% on the M3CoT benchmark, which is rich in such challenges, surpassing the powerful o4-mini model. Furthermore, GThinker shows consistent improvements across a range of multimodal reasoning benchmarks with an average gain of 2.1%, showcasing the broad benefits of equipping MLLMs with the ability to rethink both what they see and how they think.

HATS: Hardness-Aware Trajectory Synthesis for GUI Agents

Shao, Rui, Gao, Ruize, Xie, Bin, Li, Yixing, Zhou, Kaiwen, Wang, Shuai, Guan, Weili, Chen, Gongwei

原文摘要

Graphical user interface (GUI) agents powered by large vision-language models (VLMs) have shown remarkable potential in automating digital tasks, highlighting the need for high-quality trajectory data to support effective agent training. Yet existing trajectory synthesis pipelines often yield agents that fail to generalize beyond simple interactions. We identify this limitation as stemming from the neglect of semantic-ambiguous actions--interactions whose meanings are context-dependent, sequentially dependent, or visually ambiguous. Such actions are crucial for real-world robustness but are under-represented and poorly processed in current datasets, leading to semantic misalignment between task instructions and execution. To address these issues, we propose HATS, a Hardness-Aware Trajectory Synthesis framework designed to mitigate the impact of semantic ambiguity. We define hardness as the degree of semantic ambiguity associated with an action and develop two complementary modules: (1) a hardness-driven exploration that guides data collection toward ambiguous yet informative interactions, and (2) an alignment-guided refinement that iteratively validates and repairs instruction-execution consistency. The two modules operate in a closed-loop manner--exploration supplies refinement with challenging trajectories, while refinement feedback updates the hardness signal to guide future exploration. Extensive experiments show that agents trained with HATS consistently outperform state-of-the-art baselines across benchmark GUI environments.

The Geometry of Robustness: Optimizing Loss Landscape Curvature and Feature Manifold Alignment for Robust Finetuning of Vision-Language Models

Chopra, Shivang, Halbe, Shaunak, Huang, Chengyue, Maneechotesuwan, Brisa, Kira, Zsolt

原文摘要

Fine-tuning approaches for Vision-Language Models (VLMs) face a critical three-way trade-off between In-Distribution (ID) accuracy, Out-of-Distribution (OOD) generalization, and adversarial robustness. Existing robust fine-tuning strategies resolve at most two axes of this trade-off. Generalization-preserving methods retain ID/OOD performance but leave models vulnerable to adversarial attacks, while adversarial training improves robustness to targeted attacks but degrades ID/OOD accuracy. Our key insight is that the robustness trade-off stems from two geometric failures: sharp, anisotropic minima in parameter space and unstable feature representations that deform under perturbation. To address this, we propose GRACE (Gram-aligned Robustness via Adaptive Curvature Estimation), a unified fine-tuning framework that jointly regularizes the parameter-space curvature and feature-space invariance for VLMs. Grounded in Robust PAC-Bayes theory, GRACE employs adaptive weight perturbations scaled by local curvature to promote flatter minima, combined with a feature alignment loss that maintains representation consistency across clean, adversarial, and OOD inputs. On ImageNet fine-tuning of CLIP models, GRACE simultaneously improves ID accuracy by 10.8%, and adversarial accuracy by 13.5% while maintaining 57.0% OOD accuracy (vs. 57.4% zero-shot baseline). Geometric analysis confirms that GRACE converges to flatter minima without feature distortion across distribution shifts, providing a principled step toward generalized robustness in foundation VLMs.

Unified Generation and Self-Verification for Vision-Language Models via Advantage Decoupled Preference Optimization

Qiu, Xinyu, Jia, Heng, Zeng, Zhengwen, Shen, Shuheng, Meng, Changhua, Yang, Yi, Zhu, Linchao

原文摘要

Parallel test-time scaling typically trains separate generation and verification models, incurring high training and inference costs. We propose Advantage Decoupled Preference Optimization (ADPO), a unified reinforcement learning framework that jointly learns answer generation and self-verification within a single policy. ADPO introduces two innovations: a preference verification reward improving verification capability and a decoupled optimization mechanism enabling synergistic optimization of generation and verification. Specifically, the preference verification reward computes mean verification scores from positive and negative samples as decision thresholds, providing positive feedback when prediction correctness aligns with answer correctness. Meanwhile, the advantage decoupled optimization computes separate advantages for generation and verification, applies token masks to isolate gradients, and combines masked GRPO objectives, preserving generation quality while calibrating verification scores. ADPO achieves up to +34.1% higher verification AUC and -53.5% lower inference time, with significant gains of +2.8%/+1.4% accuracy on MathVista/MMMU, +1.9 cIoU on ReasonSeg, and +1.7%/+1.0% step success rate on AndroidControl/GUI Odyssey. Code is available at https://github.com/ZJUSCL/ADPO.

LLaDA-MedV: Exploring Large Language Diffusion Models for Biomedical Image Understanding

Dong, Xuanzhao, Zhu, Wenhui, Chen, Xiwen, Wang, Zhipeng, Qiu, Peijie, Tang, Shao, Li, Xin, Wang, Yalin

原文摘要

Autoregressive models (ARMs) have long dominated the landscape of biomedical vision-language models (VLMs). Recently, masked diffusion models such as LLaDA have emerged as promising alternatives, yet their application in the biomedical domain remains largely underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce LLaDA-MedV, the first large language diffusion model tailored for biomedical image understanding through vision instruction tuning. LLaDA-MedV achieves relative performance gains of 7.855% over LLaVA-Med and 1.867% over LLaDA-V in the open-ended biomedical visual conversation task, and sets new state-of-the-art accuracy on the closed-form subset of three VQA benchmarks: 84.93% on VQA-RAD, 92.31% on SLAKE, and 95.15% on PathVQA. Furthermore, a detailed comparison with LLaVA-Med suggests that LLaDA-MedV is capable of generating reasonably longer responses by explicitly controlling response length, which can lead to more informative outputs. We also conduct an in-depth analysis of both the training and inference stages, highlighting the critical roles of initialization weight selection, fine-tuning strategies, and the interplay between sampling steps and response repetition. The code and model weight is released at https://github.com/LLM-VLM-GSL/LLaDA-MedV.

Downscaling Intelligence: Exploring Perception and Reasoning Bottlenecks in Small Multimodal Models

Endo, Mark, Yeung-Levy, Serena

原文摘要

Scaling up multimodal models has enabled remarkable advances in visual understanding and reasoning, but practical demands call for smaller, efficient systems. In this work, we conduct a principled analysis of downscaling intelligence in multimodal models, examining how reduced large language model (LLM) capacity affects multimodal capabilities. Our initial findings reveal an interesting trend: LLM downscaling disproportionately affects visual capabilities, rather than abilities inherited from the LLM. We then examine whether this drop mainly reflects the expected decline in visual reasoning or a more fundamental loss of perceptual abilities. Isolating the effect of LLM downscaling on perception, we find performance still drops sharply, often matching or exceeding the impact on reasoning. To address this bottleneck, we introduce visual extraction tuning, which explicitly trains the model to extract instruction-relevant visual details consistently across tasks. With these extracted visual details, we then apply step-by-step reasoning to generate answers. Together, these components form our Extract+Think approach, setting a new standard for efficiency and performance in this space.

Unlocking Token Rewards via Training-Free Reward Attribution

Wu, Sitong, Tan, Haoru, Xia, Bin, Zhang, Xichen, Li, Jingyao, Zhang, Shaofeng, Qi, Xiaojuan, Yu, Bei 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

In this paper, we propose an extremely efficient, training-free method to extract token-level reward signals directly from an existing deep reward model. Our core idea is to attribute the overall process reward to individual tokens by estimating each token's influence. This influence is defined as the change in the final macroscopic reward (e.g., the process reward) when a token is replaced with a semantically null token. Naively calculating this influence is computationally infeasible, requiring N forward passes through the PRM for an N-token sequence. We overcome this bottleneck by proposing a highly efficient gradient-based estimator. Specifically, we use a first-order Taylor approximation, which simplifies the influence calculation to the inner product of the difference between the token embedding and the null token embedding, and the gradient of the reward with respect to the token embedding. This requires only a single forward and backward pass. The resulting token-level rewards enable standard RL algorithms to perform precise credit assignment without requiring additional reward model training. Experiments on challenging reasoning benchmarks demonstrate that our method substantially improves policy optimization efficiency and enhances the generalization of LLM reasoning capabilities. Our P2T outperforms the outcome reward by +4.9% on MathVista for Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct, and +11.5% on AIME24 for Qwen2.5-Math-7B. The code is available at: https://github.com/JIA-Lab-research/P2T.

MimicTalker: A Multimodal Interactive and Memory-Enhanced Framework for Real-Time Dyadic 3D Head Generation

Wang, Yinuo, Fan, Yanbo, Wang, Xuan, Zhou, Boyao, Guo, Yu, Shen, Yujun, Wang, Fei

原文摘要

Dyadic interactive head generation aims to synthesize realistic head motions that respond both verbally and non-verbally to an interlocutor in real-time conversation. The existing works often focus on offline scenarios, and struggle with a shallow understanding of the multimodal conversational context while also lacking long-term coherence. To address these limitations, we propose MimicTalker, a novel method for producing real-time, contextually-aware, and long-term consistent interactive head motions. To this end, we propose a Multimodal Interactive Context Extraction (MICE) module to capture both instantaneous and long-term multimodal interactive information from the interlocutor. To enhance in-depth conversational understanding, we propose a Semantic-enhanced Dynamic Interaction (SDI) module to integrate the intentions and topics of the conversation, which are automatically extracted through an LLM-based analyzer. Further, we propose a semantic-guided Motion Style Memory (MSM) mechanism, enabling the long-term motion consistency throughout the conversation. We conduct experiments on both short conversational segments (25 seconds) and extended dialogues (6 minutes), and the comprehensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms existing approaches.

Towards Fine-Grained Attribution: Instance-Aware Preference Optimization for Aligning Diffusion Models

Sun, Jiayang, Wang, Pin, Wang, Hongbo, Liu, Xinyue, Huang, Huaibo, He, Ran

原文摘要

Direct Preference Optimization has achieved remarkable success in aligning diffusion models with human feedback. However, existing methods heavily rely on image-level preferences, which suffer from sparse rewards in the spatial dimension. This creates a fundamental misalignment: while an image may be globally preferred, it can contain locally inferior instances. Applying the same positive preference to these areas thus unfairly credits distracting regions while penalizing informative ones, leading to suboptimal performance and inefficient learning. To resolve this issue, we propose IAPO, an Instance-Aware Preference Optimization that introduces instance-level credit assignment to advance alignment from image-level to instance-level. We first construct a high-quality instance-level preference dataset by automatically identifying and relabeling corresponding instances in image pairs using vision-language models and object detection models. Leveraging this fine-grained dataset, we design a novel instance alignment loss with a dynamic reweighting mask that modulates instance-level loss within annotated bounding boxes, suppressing distractors to enforce fine-grained human preference alignment. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method not only achieves state-of-the-art performance in multiple benchmarks but also attains higher training efficiency due to fine-grained instance-level preference labels.

VCP-Attack: Visual-Contrastive Projection for Transferable Black-Box Targeted Attacks on Large Vision-Language Models

Zhao, Jiawei, Du, Minjie, Qin, Zihan, Wang, Zhuoran, Xie, Lizhe, Hu, Yining

原文摘要

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have achieved impressive performance across a variety of multimodal tasks, yet remain vulnerable to targeted adversarial attacks, particularly in black-box settings. In this paper, we propose VCP-Attack, a transferable targeted attack framework that combines structured contrastive supervision with subspace-guided perturbation optimization. Specifically, we employ a dynamic PCA-based projection to constrain perturbations within semantically meaningful low-dimensional subspaces, and design a multi-sample contrastive loss to align adversarial features with target semantics while pushing them away from the source semantics. Extensive experiments on seven open-source and three proprietary LVLMs--including GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini--show that VCP-Attack achieves state-of-the-art performance in black-box targeted attacks. Under a fixed perturbation budget (epsilon = 16/255), our method achieves an average attack success rate (ASR) of 94.2% on open-source models and 83.1% on proprietary models, surpassing the strongest baselines by 23.3% and 16.8%, respectively. Notably, VCP-Attack achieves a 95.6% ASR on GPT-4o. Comprehensive ablation studies and visualizations further validate the effectiveness of the dynamic subspace projection and semantic contrastive supervision. While evaluated on image captioning, our approach is model-agnostic and exhibits strong potential for broader applications to black-box adversarial settings in vision-language tasks.

PersonaVLM: Long-Term Personalized Multimodal LLMs

Nie, Chang, Fu, Chaoyou, Zhang, Yifan, Yang, Haihua, Shan, Caifeng

原文摘要

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) serve as daily assistants for millions. However, their ability to generate responses aligned with individual preferences remains limited. Prior approaches enable only static, single-turn personalization through input augmentation or output alignment, and thus fail to capture users' evolving preferences and personality over time (see Fig.img1). In this paper, we introduce PersonaVLM, an innovative personalized multimodal agent framework designed for long-term personalization. It transforms a general-purpose MLLM into a personalized assistant by integrating three key capabilities: (a) Remembering: It proactively extracts and summarizes chronological multimodal memories from interactions, consolidating them into a personalized database. (b) Reasoning: It conducts multi-turn reasoning by retrieving and integrating relevant memories from the database. (c) Response Alignment: It infers the user's evolving personality throughout long-term interactions to ensure outputs remain aligned with their unique characteristics. For evaluation, we establish Persona-MME, a comprehensive benchmark comprising over 2,000 curated interaction cases, designed to assess long-term MLLM personalization across seven key aspects and 14 fine-grained tasks. Extensive experiments validate our method's effectiveness, improving the baseline by 22.4% (Persona-MME) and 9.8% (PERSONAMEM) under a 128k context, while outperforming GPT-4o by 5.2% and 2.0%, respectively.

SPAR: Single-Pass Any-Resolution ViT for Open-vocabulary Segmentation

Kombol, Naomi, Martinović, Ivan, Šegvić, Siniša, Tolias, Giorgos

原文摘要

Foundational Vision Transformers (ViTs) have limited effectiveness in tasks requiring fine-grained spatial understanding, due to their fixed pre-training resolution and inherently coarse patch-level representations. These challenges are especially pronounced in dense prediction scenarios, such as open-vocabulary segmentation with ViT-based vision-language models, where high-resolution inputs are essential for accurate pixel-level reasoning. Existing approaches typically process large-resolution images using a sliding-window strategy at the pre-training resolution. While this improves accuracy through finer strides, it comes at a significant computational cost. We introduce SPAR: Single-Pass Any-Resolution ViT, a resolution-agnostic dense feature extractor designed for efficient high-resolution inference. We distill the spatial reasoning capabilities of a finely-strided, sliding-window teacher into a single-pass student using a feature regression loss, without requiring architectural changes or pixel-level supervision. Applied to open-vocabulary segmentation, SPAR improves single-pass baselines by up to 10.5 mIoU and even surpasses the teacher, demonstrating effectiveness in efficient, high-resolution reasoning.

Mind the Discriminability Trap in Source-Free Cross-domain Few-shot Learning

Zhang, Zhenyu, Zou, Yixiong, Li, Yuhua, Li, Ruixuan, Chen, Guangyao

原文摘要

Source-Free Cross-Domain Few-Shot Learning (SF-CDFSL) focuses on fine-tuning with limited training data from target domains (e.g., medical or satellite images), where Vision-Language Models (VLMs) such as CLIP and SigLIP have shown promising results. Current works in traditional visual models suggest that improving visual discriminability enhances performance. However, in VLM-based SF-CDFSL tasks, we find that strengthening visual-modal discriminability actually suppresses VLMs' performance. In this paper, we aim to delve into this phenomenon for an interpretation and a solution.By both theoretical and experimental proofs, our study reveals that fine-tuning with the typical cross-entropy loss (L_ vlm ) inherently includes a visual learning part and a cross-modal learning part, where the cross-modal part is crucial for rectifying the heavily disrupted modality misalignment in SF-CDFSL.However, we find that the visual learning essentially acts as a shortcut that encourages the model to reduce L_ vlm without considering the cross-modal part, therefore hindering the cross-modal alignment and harming the performance.Based on this interpretation, we further propose an approach to address this problem: first, we perturb the visual learning to guide the model to focus on the cross-modal alignment. Then, we use the visual-text semantic relationships to gradually align the visual and textual modalities during the fine-tuning. Extensive experiments on various settings, backbones (CLIP, SigLip, PE-Core), and tasks (4 CDFSL datasets and 11 FSL datasets) show that we consistently set new state-of-the-art results. We will release the code.
