Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in vision-language understanding, yet how they internally integrate visual and textual information remains poorly understood. To bridge this gap, we perform a systematic layer-wise masking analysis across multiple architectures, revealing how visual-text fusion evolves within MLLMs. The results show that fusion emerges at several specific layers rather than being uniformly distributed across the network, and certain models exhibit a late-stage "review" phenomenon where visual signals are reactivated before output generation. Besides, we further analyze layer-wise attention evolution and observe persistent high-attention noise on irrelevant regions, along with gradually increasing attention on text-aligned areas. Guided by these insights, we introduce a training-free contrastive attention framework that models the transformation between early fusion and final layers to highlight meaningful attention shifts. Extensive experiments across various MLLMs and benchmarks validate our analysis and demonstrate that the proposed approach improves multimodal reasoning performance.Code will be released.

Diffusion models face a fundamental trade-off between generation quality and computational efficiency. Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) offer an efficient solution but suffer from potential information loss and non-end-to-end training. In contrast, existing pixel space models bypass VAEs but are computationally prohibitive for high-resolution synthesis. To resolve this dilemma, we propose DiP, an efficient pixel space diffusion framework. DiP decouples generation into a global and a local stage: a Diffusion Transformer (DiT) backbone operates on large patches for efficient global structure construction, while a co-trained lightweight Patch Detailer Head leverages contextual features to restore fine-grained local details. This synergistic design achieves computational efficiency comparable to LDMs without relying on a VAE. DiP is accomplished with up to 10xfaster inference speeds than previous method while increasing the total number of parameters by only 0.3%, and achieves an 1.79 FID score on ImageNet 256x256.

Modern autonomous vehicle perception systems are often constrained by occlusions, blind spots, and limited sensing range. While existing cooperative perception paradigms, such as Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), have demonstrated their effectiveness in mitigating these challenges, they remain limited to ground-level collaboration and cannot fully address large-scale occlusions or long-range perception in complex environments. To advance research in cross-view cooperative perception, we present V2U4Real, the first large-scale real-world multi-modal dataset for Vehicle-to-UAV (V2U) cooperative object perception. V2U4Real is collected by a ground vehicle and a UAV equipped with multi-view LiDARs and RGB cameras. The dataset covers urban streets, university campuses, and rural roads under diverse traffic scenarios, comprising over 56K LiDAR frames, 56K multi-view camera images, and 700K annotated 3D bounding boxes across four classes. To support a wide range of research tasks, we establish benchmarks for single-agent 3D object detection, cooperative 3D object detection, and object tracking. Comprehensive evaluations of several state-of-the-art models demonstrate the effectiveness of V2U cooperation in enhancing perception robustness and long-range awareness.

Multi-modal image fusion integrates complementary information from different modalities into a unified representation. Current methods predominantly optimize statistical correlations between modalities, often capturing dataset-induced spurious associations that degrade under distribution shifts. In this paper, we propose an intervention-based framework inspired by causal principles to identify robust cross-modal dependencies. Drawing insights from Pearl's causal hierarchy, we design three principled intervention strategies to probe different aspects of modal relationships: i) complementary masking with spatially disjoint perturbations tests whether modalities can genuinely compensate for each other's missing information, ii) random masking of identical regions identifies feature subsets that remain informative under partial observability, and iii) modality dropout evaluates the irreplaceable contribution of each modality. Based on these interventions, we introduce a Causal Feature Integrator (CFI) that learns to identify and prioritize intervention-stable features maintaining importance across different perturbation patterns through adaptive invariance gating, thereby capturing robust modal dependencies rather than spurious correlations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves SOTA performance on both public benchmarks and downstream high-level vision tasks. The Code can be available.

Humanoid robots have achieved significant progress in motion generation and control, exhibiting movements that appear increasingly natural and human-like. Inspired by the Turing Test, we propose the Motion Turing Test, a framework that evaluates whether human observers can discriminate between humanoid robot and human poses using only kinematic information. To facilitate this evaluation, we present the Human-Humanoid Motion (HHMotion) dataset, which consists of 1,000 motion sequences spanning 15 action categories, performed by 11 humanoid models and 10 human subjects. All motion sequences are converted into SMPL-X representations to eliminate the influence of visual appearance. We recruited 30 annotators to rate the human-likeness of each pose on a 0-5 scale, resulting in over 500 hours of annotation. Analysis of the collected data reveals that humanoid motions still exhibit noticeable deviations from human movements, particularly in dynamic actions such as jumping, boxing, and running. Building on HHMotion, we formulate a human-likeness evaluation task that aims to automatically predict human-likeness scores from motion data. Despite recent progress in multimodal large language models, we find that they remain inadequate for assessing motion human-likeness. To address this, we propose a simple baseline model and demonstrate that it outperforms several contemporary LLM-based methods. The dataset, code, and benchmark release publicly at http://www.lidarhumanmotion.net/mtt/

Recent advances in multimodal reward modeling have been largely driven by a paradigm shift from discriminative to generative approaches. Building on this progress, recent studies have further employed reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) to enhance multimodal reward models (MRMs). Despite their success, RLVR-based training typically depends on labeled multimodal preference data, which are costly and labor-intensive to obtain, making it difficult to scale the training of MRMs. To overcome this limitation, we propose a Multi-Stage Reinforcement Learning (MSRL) approach, which can achieve scalable reinforcement learning for MRMs with limited multimodal data. MSRL redefines the conventional RLVR-based training paradigm by first learning a generalizable reward reasoning capability from large-scale textual preference data and then progressively transferring this capability to multimodal tasks through caption-based and fully multimodal reinforcement learning stages. Furthermore, we introduce a cross-modal knowledge distillation approach to improve preference generalization within MSRL. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MSRL effectively scales the RLVR-based training of generative MRMs and substantially improves their performance across both visual understanding and visual generation tasks (e.g., 68.5%-74.8% on VLReward Bench, 69.2%-75.4% on GenAI-Bench), without requiring additional multimodal preference annotations.

Brain imaging analysis is crucial for diagnosing and treating brain disorders, and multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly supporting it. However, current brain imaging visual question-answering (VQA) benchmarks either cover a limited number of imaging modalities or are restricted to coarse-grained pathological descriptions, hindering a comprehensive assessment of MLLMs across the full clinical continuum. To address these, we introduce OmniBrainBench, the first comprehensive multimodal VQA benchmark specifically designed to assess the multimodal comprehension capabilities of MLLMs in brain imaging analysis with closed- and open-ended evaluations. OmniBrainBench comprises 15 distinct brain imaging modalities collected from 30 verified medical sources, yielding 9,527 validated VQA pairs and 31,706 images. It simulates clinical workflows and encompasses 15 multi-stage clinical tasks rigorously validated by a professional radiologist. Evaluations of 24 state-of-the-art models, including open-source general-purpose, medical, and proprietary MLLMs, highlight the substantial challenges posed by OmniBrainBench. Experiments reveal that proprietary MLLMs like Gemini-2.5-Pro (66.58%) outperform open-source and medical MLLMs yet lag far behind physicians (91.35%), while medical MLLMs show wide variance in closed- and open-ended VQA. Open-source general-purpose MLLMs generally trail but excel in specific tasks, and all MLLMs fall short in complex preoperative reasoning, revealing a critical visual-to-clinical gap. OmniBrainBench establishes a new standard to assess MLLMs in brain imaging analysis, highlighting the gaps against physicians. We publicly release our benchmark and code at link.

Text-to-motion generation is a fundamental task in computer vision, aiming to synthesize 3D human motion sequences from natural language descriptions. However, due to the limited scale and diversity of existing datasets, models trained to directly map raw text to motion often struggle to generalize to out-of-domain textual inputs. We observe that although high-level motion semantics vary widely, many motions share a common set of underlying atomic motions--that is, simple, reusable body-part movements. Building on this insight, we introduce an **Atomic Motion Decomposition and Recomposition** framework for open-vocabulary text-to-motion generation. Our approach consists of two key components: a **Textual Decomposition** module that parses out-of-domain descriptions into atomic motion units, and an **Atomic Recomposition** module that integrates these units to produce the final motion sequence. Our model achieves a competitive performance on the in-domain HumanML3D dataset, and extensive experiments on two out-of-domain datasets (IDEA400 and Mixamo) demonstrate that our method substantially outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in open-vocabulary motion generation.
