Open-set object detection (OSOD) suffers from a fundamental limitation under dense proposal mechanisms: highly overlapping proposals associated with the same object are often assigned contradictory known/unknown predictions. Existing methods perform open-set reasoning independently for each proposal, while ignoring the shared semantics among correlated proposals, resulting in fragmented detections and unstable open-set decisions. In this paper, we reformulate OSOD as an object-centric semantic inference problem, where correlated proposals jointly support a coherent region-level semantic decision. Based on this perspective, we propose OCSI-Net, a unified framework that combines object-centric semantic consistency with geometry-aware uncertainty stabilization. Specifically, OCSI-Net aggregates correlated proposals into structured region clusters and infers region-level semantics from aggregated semantic evidence, thereby enforcing coherent open-set predictions within the same object region. Furthermore, a geometry-aware uncertainty mechanism is introduced to stabilize optimization near open-set transition boundaries. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate that OCSI-Net consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance, improving the harmonic mean of known and unknown detection by an average of 6.83\% over the second-best method.
Visually realistic video generation does not guarantee physically consistent motion. Generated objects may exhibit implausible collision responses or rebounds without energy dissipation, while even physically valid motion predictions may not be faithfully realized during synthesis. We propose \textbf{IMPACT}, a physics-state-driven image-to-video framework that addresses these challenges by coupling explicit dynamics prediction with complementary sparse--dense physical guidance. A learnably calibrated Physics State Generator unifies continuous free-flight dynamics with discrete collision responses, linking impact timing, post-impact velocity, rebound attenuation, and eventual settling within a coherent physical-state sequence. To translate this evolution into effective generative constraints, IMPACT derives sparse trajectories and dense region-level motion priors from the same physical rollout. Sparse trajectories constrain global object displacement, while dense priors guide diffusion sampling to encourage coherent object-region motion and suppress unwanted background changes. Their shared physical basis coordinates global and local motion guidance to reduce prediction--generation mismatch. Experiments on 100 controlled sphere--plane collision scenes spanning different material combinations and visual environments demonstrate improved physical plausibility over representative general-purpose, physics-grounded, and motion-controllable baselines.

Recent research demonstrates that pretrained large language models (LLMs) require minimal but carefully curated data for instruction-tuning. Building on LLMs, multi-modal models further contend with far larger data volumes, heterogeneous sources, and cross-modal alignment, amplifying both the necessity and the complexity of data selection. However, existing methods rely on deeply extracted embeddings, gradients or narrow quality scores that are time-consuming to compute and limited in expressiveness, frequently failing to surpass a simple random-sampling baseline. To overcome these limitations, we step back from complex embedding spaces and target the fundamental objective of instruction tuning: how and what knowledge should be elicited from the pretrained model and exposed to users. We leverage interaction \underline{S}tyles as a proxy for structural diversity, and decompose data quality into capability-specific \underline{S}cores, yielding an explicit yet \underline{R}ich (SSR) profile for each sample. We further cast the selection as submodular coverage maximization over the capability--style grid, providing an approximation guarantee. SSR consistently delivers superior performance across two distinct architecture stacks, LLaVA-1.5 (Vicuna + CLIP) and LLaVA-OneVision (Qwen2 + SigLIP), two large-scale data pools, six data budget settings, and 14 multi-modal benchmarks. To our knowledge, SSR is the first data selection method validated at million-scale, achieving 99.1% of full-data performance using only 30% of a 2.6M pool. Furthermore, the SSR profile models and selected subsets transfer training-free across data pools and model architectures with capability extensibility.
