Scaling vision foundation models is constrained by the quadratic complexity of self-attention. Although subquadratic attention alternatives like linear attention variants and state-space models successfully reduce the model complexity, they typically serialize images into 1D token sequences, compromising spatial coherence and efficiency. Generalized Spatial Propagation Networks (GSPN) offer a linear-time alternative that propagates context directly on the 2D grid via line-scan propagation and removes positional embeddings, yet the original design hits GPU-scaling limits: growing batch/channels saturate SM concurrency, serializing scans, and spiking latency. We introduce Compact GSPN (C-GSPN), a ViT block that compresses the propagation space to preserve accuracy while cutting propagation latency by nearly 10x. We further improve efficiency with lightweight projections and fused CUDA kernels. To enable large-scale pretraining, we adopta two-stage cross-operator distillation strategy that combines layer-wise supervision with end-to-end alignment. In a representative 1K configuration (batch 32, C=1152), C-GSPN achieves up to 2x speedup, maintains competitive zero-shot accuracy, and improves segmentation by +2.1%. Extensive experiments and ablations show that the proposed compression and two-stage distillation are criticalfor strong transfer while substantially reducing compute, enabling the first extension of a subquadratic operator to foundation-scale (CLIP-style) vision pretraining.

A fundamental challenge in embodied AI is verifying if agents build internal models of spatial structure or merely learn to mimic task-specific expert trajectories. This is critical as foundational approaches rooted in action-centric tasks (e.g., VLN) and reasoning-centric tasks (e.g., EQA) often share a common limitation: they lack a learning signal that forces them to encode fine-grained spatial relationships (like topology or distance) over long-range, fragmented experiences. To address this, we first propose LASAR, an architecture featuring a dual-memory system designed to maintain both episodic experiences and a semantic cognitive map. We then introduce Spatio-temporal Contextual Representation Learning (ST-CRL), a contrastive objective designed to train this architecture. ST-CRL leverages spatio-temporal cues from cognitive queries generated through annotated spatio-temporal context in simulation to build sample pairs, thereby forming the internal cognitive map from the agent's experiences. Experiments demonstrate that our method achieves 2%-3.5% gains in both zero-shot generalization on standard VLN-CE and VSI-Bench benchmarks. We also demonstrate that our proposed cognitive map has high self-consistency.

Instance-level object segmentation across disparate egocentric and exocentric views is a fundamental challenge in visual understanding, critical for applications in embodied AI and remote collaboration. This task is exceptionally difficult due to severe changes in scale, perspective, and occlusion, which destabilize direct pixel-level matching. While recent geometry-aware models like VGGT provide a strong foundation for feature alignment, we find they often fail at dense prediction tasks due to significant pixel-level projection drift, even when their internal object-level attention remains consistent. To bridge this gap, we introduce VGGT-Segmentor (VGGT-S), a framework that unifies robust geometric modeling with pixel-accurate semantic segmentation. VGGT-S leverages VGGT's powerful cross-view feature representation and introduces a novel Union Segmentation Head. This head operates in three stages: mask prompt fusion, point-guided prediction, and iterative mask refinement, effectively translating high-level feature alignment into a precise segmentation mask. Furthermore, we propose a single-image self-supervised training strategy that eliminates the need for paired annotations and enables strong generalization. On the Ego-Exo4D benchmark, VGGT-S sets a new state-of-the-art, achieving 67.7% and 68.0% average IoU for Ego-Exo and Exo-Ego tasks, respectively, significantly outperforming prior methods. Notably, our correspondence-free pretrained model surpasses most fully-supervised baselines, demonstrating the effectiveness and scalability of our approach.

Semantic correspondence is essential for handling diverse in-the-wild images lacking explicit correspondence annotations. While recent 2D foundation models offer powerful features, adapting them for unsupervised learning via nearest-neighbor pseudo-labels has key limitations: it operates locally, ignoring structural relationships, and consequently its reliance on 2D appearance fails to resolve geometric ambiguities arising from symmetries or repetitive features. In this work, we address this by reformulating pseudo-label generation as a Fused Gromov-Wasserstein (FGW) problem, which jointly optimizes inter-feature similarity and intra-structural consistency. Our framework, Shape-of-You (SoY), leverages a 3D foundation model to define this intra-structure in the geometric space, resolving abovementioned ambiguity. However, since FGW is a computationally prohibitive quadratic problem, we approximate it through anchor-based linearization. The resulting probabilistic transport plan provides a structurally consistent but noisy supervisory signal. Thus, we introduce a soft-target loss dynamically blending guidance from this plan with network predictions to build a learning framework robust to this noise. SoY achieves state-of-the-art performance on SPair-71k and AP-10k datasets, establishing a new benchmark in semantic correspondence without explicit geometric annotations. Code is available at Shape-of-You.

Despite advances in Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs), their ability to reason over 3D structures and temporal dynamics remains limited, constrained by weak 4D perception and temporal understanding. Existing 3D and 4D Video Question Answering (VQA) benchmarks also emphasize static scenes and lack region-level prompting.We tackle these issues by introducing:(a) 4D-RGPT, a specialized MLLM designed to capture 4D representations from video inputs with enhanced temporal perception;(b) Perceptual 4D Distillation (P4D), a training framework that transfers 4D representations from a frozen expert model into 4D-RGPT for comprehensive 4D perception; and(c) R4D-Bench, a benchmark for depth-aware dynamic scenes with region-level prompting, built via a hybrid automated and human-verified pipeline.Our 4D-RGPT achieves notable improvements on both existing 4D VQA benchmarks and the proposed R4D-Bench benchmark.

Multimodal large language models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in 2D vision, motivating their extension to 3D scene understanding. Recent studies represent 3D scenes as 3D spatial videos composed of image sequences with depth and camera pose information, enabling pre-trained video-language models to perform 3D reasoning tasks. However, the large number of visual tokens in spatial videos remains a major bottleneck for efficient inference. Existing pruning methods overlook the view consistency of spatial videos and the spatial diversity of the remaining tokens, which prevents them from effectively removing inter-frame redundancy and preserving scene completeness. In this paper, we propose Geo3DPruner, a Geometry-Guided 3D Visual Token Pruning framework. Geo3DPruner first models cross-frame relevance through geometry-aware global attention, and then performs a two-stage pruning process. The intra-voxel stage selects representative multi-view features within each voxel, while the inter-voxel stage preserves spatial diversity by selecting a globally distributed subset of voxels. Extensive experiments on multiple 3D scene understanding benchmarks demonstrate that Geo3DPruner retains over 90% of the original performance while pruning 90% of visual tokens, significantly outperforming existing text-guided and vision-guided pruning methods.

Scene-level point cloud understanding remains challenging due to diverse geometries, imbalanced category distributions, and highly varied spatial layouts. Existing methods improve object-level performance but rely on static network parameters during inference, limiting their adaptability to dynamic scene data. We propose PointTPA, a Test-time Parameter Adaptation framework that generates input-aware network parameters for scene-level point clouds. PointTPA adopts a Serialization-based Neighborhood Grouping (SNG) to form locally coherent patches and a Dynamic Parameter Projector (DPP) to produce patch-wise adaptive weights, enabling the backbone to adjust its behavior according to scene-specific variations while maintaining a low parameter overhead. Integrated into the PTv3 structure, PointTPA demonstrates strong parameter efficiency by introducing two lightweight modules of less than 2% of the backbone's parameters. Despite this minimal parameter overhead, PointTPA achieves 78.4% mIoU on ScanNet validation, surpassing existing parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods across multiple benchmarks, highlighting the efficacy of our test-time dynamic network parameter adaptation mechanism in enhancing 3D scene understanding. The code is available at https://github.com/H-EmbodVis/PointTPA.

Vision-Language-Action models have emerged as essential generalist robot policies for diverse manipulation tasks, conventionally relying on directly translating multimodal inputs into actions via Vision-Language Model embeddings. Recent advancements have introduced explicit intermediary reasoning--such as sub-task prediction (language) or goal image synthesis (vision)--to guide action generation. However, these intermediate reasoning are often indirect and inherently limited in their capacity to convey the full, granular information required for precise action execution. Instead, we posit that the most effective form of reasoning is one that deliberates directly in the action space. We introduce Action Chain-of-Thought (ACoT), a paradigm where the reasoning process itself is formulated as a structured sequence of coarse action intents that guide the final policy. In this paper, we propose ACoT-VLA, a novel architecture that materializes the ACoT paradigm. Specifically, we introduce two complementary components: an Explicit Action Reasoner (EAR) and Implicit Action Reasoner (IAR). The former proposes coarse reference trajectories as explicit action-level reasoning steps, while the latter extracts latent action priors from internal representations of multimodal input, co-forming an ACoT that conditions the downstream action head to enable grounded policy learning. Extensive experiments in real-world and simulation environments demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method. Code is available at: https://github.com/AgibotTech/ACoT-VLA.

As large language models (LLMs) continue to advance, there is increasing interest in their ability to infer human mental states and demonstrate a human-like Theory of Mind (ToM). Most existing ToM evaluations, however, are centered on text-based inputs, while scenarios relying solely on visual information receive far less attention. This leaves a gap, since real-world human-AI interaction typically requires multimodal understanding. In addition, many current methods regard the model as a black box and rarely probe how its internal attention behaves in multiple-choice question answering (QA). The impact of LLM hallucinations on such tasks is also underexplored from an interpretability perspective. To address these issues, we introduce VisionToM, a vision-oriented intervention framework designed to strengthen task-aware reasoning. The core idea is to compute intervention vectors that align visual representations with the correct semantic targets, thereby steering the model's attention through different layers of visual features. This guidance reduces the model's reliance on spurious linguistic priors, leading to more reliable multimodal language model (MLLM) outputs and better QA performance. Experiments on the EgoToM benchmark--an egocentric, real-world video dataset for ToM with three multiple-choice QA settings--demonstrate that our method substantially improves the ToM abilities of MLLMs. Furthermore, results on an additional open-ended generation task show that VisionToM enables MLLMs to produce free-form explanations that more accurately capture agents' mental states, pushing machine-human collaboration toward greater alignment.

Foundation models have achieved success in computational pathology, demonstrating generalization across histopathology tasks. However, existing models overlook the heterogeneous and non-uniform organization of regions of interest (ROIs) because they rely on natural image backbones not tailored for tissue morphology. Consequently, they fail to capture the coherent tissue architecture beyond patches, limiting interpretability and clinical relevance. To address these challenges, we present Cross-modal Adaptive Region Encoder (CARE), a foundation model for pathology that partitions WSIs into several morphologically relevant regions. Specifically, CARE employs a two-stage pretraining strategy: (1) a self-supervised unimodal pretraining stage that learns morphological representations from 34,277 whole-slide images (WSIs) without segmentation annotations, and (2) a cross-modal alignment stage that leverages RNA and protein profiles to refine the construction and representation of adaptive regions. This molecular guidance enables CARE to identify biologically relevant patterns and generate irregular yet coherent tissue regions, selecting the representative area as ROI. CARE supports a broad range of pathology-related tasks, using either the ROI feature or the slide-level feature obtained by aggregating adaptive regions. Based on only one-tenth of the pretraining data typically used by mainstream foundation models, CARE achieves superior average performance across 33 downstream benchmarks, including morphological classification, molecular prediction, and survival analysis, and outperforms other foundation model baselines overall.

Aerial Vision-and-Language Navigation (Aerial VLN) enables unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to follow natural language instructions and navigate complex urban environments.While recent advances have achieved progress through large-scale memory graphs and lookahead path planning, they remain limited by shallow instruction understanding and high computational cost. In particular, existing methods rely primarily on landmark descriptions, overlooking directional cues--a key source of spatial context in human navigation.In this work, we propose LookasideVLN, a new paradigm that exploits directional cues in natural language to achieve both more accurate spatial reasoning and greater computational efficiency. LookasideVLN comprises three core components: (1) an Egocentric Lookaside Graph (ELG) that dynamically encodes instruction-relevant landmarks and their directional relationships, (2) a Spatial Landmark Knowledge Base (SLKB) that provides lightweight memory retrieval from prior navigation experiences, and (3) a Lookaside MLLM Navigation Agent that aligns multimodal information from user instructions, visual observations, and landmark-direction information from ELG for path planning.Extensive experiments show that LookasideVLN significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art CityNavAgent, even with a single-level lookahead, demonstrating that leveraging directional cues is a powerful yet efficient strategy for Aerial VLN.

In this paper, we tackle the Aerial Vision-and-Dialog Navigation (AVDN) task in the training-free setting for resource-efficient high-altitude UAV navigation.Naively applying MLLMs leads to unreliable navigation due to weak directional grounding and the lack of explicit spatial memory.To address these issues, we propose PSC-AVDN, a training-free framework that tightly couples a three-stage Parsing-Search-Confirmation reasoning pipeline with a Structured Spatial Memory (SSM).The parsing stage uses an LLM to convert ambiguous dialogue instructions into stable geometric directional and destination cues.A Search Chain-of-Thought (S-CoT) then performs stepwise target exploration under high-altitude observations, and a Confirmation Chain-of-Thought (C-CoT) conducts fine-grained verification around candidate regions to resolve visual ambiguity.Meanwhile, SSM integrates three complementary sources of spatial cues, including multi-scale visual observation, spatial visual memory, and structured geometric memory to provide global spatial context and long-horizon consistency.Extensive experiments on ANDH and ANDH-Full show that PSC-AVDN establishes new state-of-the-art performance in the training-free setting, matching or surpassing several finetuned methods.

Embodied navigation stands as a foundation pillar within the pursuit of embodied intelligence. However, previous navigation research is divided into different tasks/capabilities, e.g., ObjNav, ImgNav and VLN, where they differ in task settings/objectives and modalities, making datasets and methods designed individually. In this work, we take steps toward generalist navigation, which can follow free-form instructions that include arbitrary compounds of modality and capability. To achieve this, we propose a large-scale benchmark and corresponding method, termed OctoNav-Bench and OctoNav-R1. Specifically, OctoNav-Bench is constructed via a designed automatic annotation pipeline. We thoroughly craft instruction-trajectory pairs, where instructions are diverse in free-form with arbitrary modality and capability. Also, we construct a Think-Before-Action (TBA-CoT) dataset within OctoNav-Bench to provide the thinking process behind actions. For OctoNav-R1, we build it upon MLLMs and adapt it to a VLA-type model, which can produce low-level actions solely based on 2D visual observations. Moreover, we design a Hybrid Training Paradigm (HTP) that consists of three stages, i.e., Action-/TBA-SFT, Nav-GRPO, and Online RL stages. Each stage contains designed learning policies and rewards. Specifically, inspired by the OpenAI-o1 and DeepSeek-R1, which show impressive reasoning ability via thinking-before-answer, we design TBA-SFT and Nav-GRPO to achieve thinking-before-action for embodied navigation, improving model's reasoning ability toward generalists. TBA-SFT utilizes the TBA-CoT dataset to fine-tune the model, and then we leverage Nav-GRPO to improve its thinking ability. Finally, OctoNav-R1 shows superior performance compared with the previous methods.

Despite recent advances, Vision Language Models (VLMs) still struggle to grasp the dynamics of the world. We note that the ability to reason about a 4D scene, challenging in itself, is further complicated by two factors. First, VLMs observe motion indirectly via its projection onto 2D images. Second, existing datasets fail to disentangle object and camera motion. To address these challenges, we present a QA generation pipeline that focuses on motion-related scene understanding. We take particular care of the entanglement of camera and object motion by casting tracking in both the traditional way and in a novel, fixed reference system, dubbed True-Motion Tracking, which provides an intuitive description of motion. From this pipeline, we generate a large-scale training dataset of 400K samples, 4DP-QA (4D Perception QA), and a 2.2K-sample benchmark, 4DP-QA-Bench. Training existing models on our dataset yields performance improvements on an external benchmark, validating the effectiveness of our method.

High-quality 3D garment reconstruction plays a crucial role in mitigating the sim-to-real gap in applications such as digital avatars, virtual try-on and robotic manipulation. However, existing garment reconstruction methods typically rely on unstructured representations, such as 3D Gaussian Splats, struggling to provide accurate reconstructions of garment topology and sewing structures. As a result, the reconstructed outputs are often unsuitable for high-fidelity physical simulation. We propose ReWeaver, a novel framework for topology-accurate 3D garment and sewing pattern reconstruction from sparse multi-view RGB images. Given as few as four input views, ReWeaver predicts seams and panels as well as their connectivities in both the 2D UV space and the 3D space. The predicted seams and panels align precisely with the multi-view images, yielding structured 2D-3D garment representations suitable for 3D perception, high-fidelity physical simulation, and robotic manipulation.To enable effective training, we construct a large-scale dataset GCD-TS, comprising multi-view RGB images, 3D garment geometries, textured human body meshes and annotated sewing patterns. The dataset contains over 100,000 synthetic samples covering a wide range of complex geometries and topologies. Extensive experiments show that ReWeaver consistently outperforms existing methods in terms of topology accuracy, geometry alignment and seam-panel consistency. Code and data will be available at the project sii-liming.github.io/ReWeaver.

We present GR3D, a spatial vision language model equipped with three complementary grounding capabilities--explicit 2D grounding, implicit 2D grounding, and monocular 3D grounding--within a single framework. GR3D introduces an implicit grounding mechanism that identifies entity mentions during generation and inserts the corresponding region tokens into the text stream, allowing the model to reference visual evidence on the fly when producing spatial chain-of-thought responses. In parallel, a region-prompted monocular 3D grounding design predicts 3D bounding boxes in the camera view from grounded region queries, supported by intrinsic-aware normalization and dense geometric supervision. Together, these grounding capabilities enable GR3D to decompose complex spatial understanding problems into grounded 2D perception followed by 3D inference. GR3D achieves consistent improvements across grounded and non-grounded spatial benchmarks, demonstrating grounding as an effective inductive bias for strengthening spatial understanding in VLMs. These grounding capabilities collectively enhance general spatial understanding beyond the grounding task itself.
