Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar has emerged as a promising sensing modality for human perception, offering robustness under challenging environmental conditions and strong privacy preservation. However, recovering accurate 3D human meshes from radar is difficult for two reasons: radar tensors contain significant environmental clutter, and each frame observes only part of the body surface. These challenges demand opposite operations, removing measured energy that does not belong to the body versus inferring geometry the sensor never measured. Yet previous works typically entangle both within a single network, with the mesh objective as the main supervision. We instead reformulate radar-based mesh recovery as two explicitly supervised sub-problems. A signal-level separation stage isolates body-related voxels through coarse-to-fine localization and voxel-wise segmentation, trained with visibility derived voxel labels. A structure-level reconstruction stage then recovers the body from this partial observation using a dual-branch network that jointly models per-frame shape and inter-frame motion. Experiments show that our method reduces mesh error by up to 9.1% over the strongest baseline while using over 10 $\times$ fewer parameters.

Image editing models can modify visual content through natural language, but editing dense documents requires precise local changes amid tightly coupled text, tables, and layout. We introduce VDE Bench, an evaluation resource for studying instruction-guided editing of Chinese and English document images. VDE Bench contains 3,506 instruction-guided image editing samples, including 1,578 text-region edits and 1,928 table-region edits. The benchmark pairs editing instructions and reference images with annotated editing regions and structured OCR outputs. Its evaluation protocol combines region-level and full-page measurements to assess textual correctness, structural fidelity, and visual content preservation. By focusing on the interaction between local edits and their surrounding document context, VDE Bench complements existing visual text editing benchmarks and provides a resource for diagnosing document-specific editing failures.
Text-to-3D solid retrieval faces a fundamental representation gap: while natural language describes intrinsic shapes, Boundary Representation (B-rep) entangles precise geometry with arbitrary variations in pose, scale, and boundary encoding conventions. Existing methods either discretize B-reps at the cost of analytic precision, or learn features from topological graphs without explicit invariance guarantees. We propose a text-to-B-rep retrieval framework based on geometric equivalence classes and spectral invariants, mathematically eliminating representation ambiguities prior to cross-modal alignment. Formalizing translation, rotation, reflection, uniform scaling, and contour re-indexing via group actions, we exploit the planar-profile-and-extrusion structure of engineering solids to construct a unified spectral descriptor across cross-sectional regions, contour boundaries, and extrusion depths. On public benchmarks, our method achieves state-of-the-art recall performance across all evaluation metrics.

Multimodal representation learning primarily relies on contrastive objectives such as InfoNCE to align diverse modalities. However, these methods focus almost exclusively on directional alignment and often neglect the intrinsic role of embedding magnitudes (L2-norm) in the contrastive process. To bridge this gap, we propose L2Dir, a plug-and-play framework designed to optimize L2-norm alignment and Directional consistency jointly. As a highly efficient solution, L2Dir doesn’t require extra data, distillation, or external supervision. It can be integrated seamlessly into existing pipelines by employing a lightweight MLP to reconstruct magnitudes from frozen backbone features. Extensive evaluations across 95 tasks using UniIR and VLM2Vec-V2 frameworks demonstrate that L2Dir yields consistent and significant performance gains over established baselines across various backbones and scales, proving that explicit magnitude modeling is a versatile and potent strategy for refining unsupervised multimodal representations. The source code for L2Dir in VLM2Vec-V2 is available in the supplementary materials.

Video-guided Machine Translation (VMT) seeks to enhance translation quality by incorporating contextual information derived from paired short video clips. However, many VMT samples are text-sufficient; even when visual information is needed, only minimal cues are required. Aiming to tackle these issues, we propose a novel framework DART (Disambiguation-Aware Reasoning for Video-guided Machine Translation). Reinforcement learning is used to incorporate multimodal large language models’ multimodal reasoning into VMT. The model dynamically switches between text-only processing and multimodal integration, contingent on the necessity of visual disambiguation. Furthermore, we present TVRF (Translation-oriented Video Relevance Filtering), a systematic pipeline for constructing training data based on multimodal relevance to translation. This pipeline filters samples where video information is translation-relevant, mitigating training collapse caused by video-irrelevant data in conventional VMT. Experimental results show that our approach improves multimodal information utilization in VMT, yielding gains in both translation quality and computational efficiency.

Temporal Action Localization (TAL) requires identifying both the boundaries and categories of actions in untrimmed videos. While vision-language models (VLMs) offer rich semantics to complement visual evidence, existing approaches tend to overemphasize linguistic priors at the expense of visual performance, leading to a pronounced modality bias. We propose ActionVLM, a vision-language aggregation framework that systematically mitigates modality bias in TAL. Our key insight is to preserve vision as the dominant signal while adaptively exploiting language only when beneficial. To this end, we introduce (i) a debiasing reweighting module that estimates the language advantage—the incremental benefit of language over vision-only predictions—and dynamically reweights language modality accordingly, and (ii) a residual aggregation strategy that treats language as a complementary refinement rather than the primary driver. This combination alleviates modality bias, reduces overconfidence from linguistic priors, and strengthens temporal reasoning. Experiments on THUMOS14 show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art by up to 3.2% mAP. Our code is available at https://github.com/JiaqiLi404/ActionVLM
