Neural video compression (NVC) technologies have advanced rapidly in recent years, yielding state-of-the-art schemes such as DCVC-RT that offer superior compression efficiency to H.266/VVC and real-time encoding/decoding capabilities. Nonetheless, existing NVC schemes have several limitations, including inefficiency in dealing with disocclusion and new content, interframe error propagation and accumulation, among others. To eliminate these limitations, we borrow the idea from classic video coding schemes, which allow intra coding within inter-coded frames. With the intra coding tool enabled, disocclusion and new content are properly handled, and interframe error propagation is naturally intercepted without the need for manual refresh mechanisms. We present an NVC framework with unified intra and inter coding, where every frame is processed by a single model that is trained to perform intra/inter coding adaptively. Moreover, we propose a simultaneous two-frame compression design to exploit interframe redundancy not only forwardly but also backwardly. Experimental results show that our scheme outperforms DCVC-RT by an average of 12.1% BD-rate reduction, delivers more stable bitrate and quality per frame, and retains real-time encoding/decoding performances. Code and models will be released.

This paper provides a simplification on OpenVision's architecture and loss design for enhancing its training efficiency. Following the prior vision-language pretraining works CapPa and AIMv2, as well as modern multimodal designs like LLaVA, our changes are straightforward: we remove the text encoder (and therefore the contrastive loss), retaining only the captioning loss as a purely generative training signal. We name this new version OpenVision 2. The initial results are promising: despite this simplification, OpenVision 2 competitively matches the original model's performance on a broad set of multimodal benchmarks while substantially cutting both training time and memory consumption. For example, with ViT-L/14, it reduces training time by about 1.5x (from 83h to 57h), and memory usage by about 1.8x (from 24.5GB to 13.8GB, equivalently allowing the maximum batch size to grow from 2k to 8k). This superior training efficiency also allows us to scale far beyond the largest vision encoder used in OpenVision, reaching more than 1 billion parameters. We hold a strong belief that this lightweight, generative-only paradigm is compelling for future vision encoder development in multimodal foundation models.

Long-sequence streaming 3D reconstruction remains a significant open challenge. Existing autoregressive models often fail when processing long sequences because they anchor poses to the first frame, leading to attention decay, scale drift, and extrapolation errors. We introduce LongStream, a novel gauge-decoupled streaming visual geometry model for metric-scale scene reconstruction across thousands of frames under a strictly online, future-invisible setting. Our approach is threefold. First, we discard the first-frame anchor and predict keyframe-relative poses. This reformulates long-range extrapolation into a constant-difficulty local task. Second, we introduce orthogonal scale learning. This method fully disentangles geometry from scale estimation to suppress drift. Finally, we identify attention bias issues in Transformers, including attention-sink reliance and long-term KV-cache saturation. We propose cache-consistent training combined with periodic cache refresh. This approach suppresses attention biases and contamination over ultra-long sequences and reduces the gap between training and inference. Experiments show that LongStream achieves state-of-the-art performance, enabling stable, metric-scale reconstruction over kilometer-scale sequences at 18 FPS.

Existing video frame interpolation (VFI) methods often adopt a frame-centric approach, processing videos as independent short segments (e.g., triplets), which leads to temporal inconsistencies and motion artifacts. To overcome this, we propose a holistic, video-centric paradigm named Local Diffusion Forcing for Video Frame Interpolation (LDF-VFI). Our framework is built upon an auto-regressive diffusion transformer that models the entire video sequence to ensure long-range temporal coherence. To mitigate error accumulation inherent in auto-regressive generation, we introduce a novel skip-concatenate sampling strategy that effectively maintains temporal stability. Furthermore, LDF-VFI incorporates sparse, local attention and tiled VAE encoding, a combination that not only enables efficient processing of long sequences but also allows generalization to arbitrary spatial resolutions (e.g., 4K) at inference without retraining. An enhanced conditional VAE decoder, which leverages multi-scale features from the input video, further improves reconstruction fidelity. Empirically, LDF-VFI achieves state-of-the-art performance on challenging VFI benchmarks, demonstrating superior per-frame quality and temporal consistency, especially in scenes with large motion.

We present Sketch2Colab, which turns storyboard-style 2D sketches into coherent, object-aware 3D multi-human motion with fine-grained control over agents, joints, timing, and contacts. Diffusion-based motion generators offer strong realism but often rely on costly guidance for multi-entity control and degrade under strong conditioning. Sketch2Colab instead learns a sketch-conditioned diffusion prior and distills it into a rectified-flow student in latent space for fast, stable sampling. To make motion follow storyboards closely, we guide the student with differentiable objectives that enforce keyframes, paths, contacts, and physical consistency. Collaborative motion naturally involves discrete changes in interaction, such as converging, forming contact, cooperative transport, or disengaging, and a continuous flow alone struggles to sequence these shifts cleanly. We address this with a lightweight continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) planner that tracks the active interaction regime and modulates the flow to produce clearer, synchronized coordination in human-object-human motion. Experiments on CORE4D and InterHuman show that Sketch2Colab outperforms baselines in constraint adherence and perceptual quality while sampling substantially faster than diffusion-only alternatives.

Pose-guided human image animation aims to synthesize realistic videos of a reference character driven by a sequence of poses. While diffusion-based methods have achieved remarkable success, most existing approaches are limited to single-character animation. We observe that naively extending these methods to multi-character scenarios often leads to identity confusion and implausible occlusions between characters. To address these challenges, in this paper, we propose an extensible multi-character image animation framework built upon modern Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) for video generation. At its core, our framework introduces two novel components--Identifier Assigner and Identifier Adapter--which collaboratively capture per-person positional cues and inter-person spatial relationships. This mask-driven scheme, along with a scalable training strategy, not only enhances flexibility but also enables generalization to scenarios with more characters than those seen during training. Remarkably, trained on only a two-character dataset, our model generalizes to multi-character animation while maintaining compatibility with single-character cases. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in multi-character image animation, surpassing existing diffusion-based baselines. Codes will be released.

Earth observation data presents a unique challenge: it is spatial like images, sequential like video or text, and highly multimodal. We present Helios: a multimodal, spatio-temporal foundation model that employs a novel self-supervised learning formulation, masking strategy, and loss all designed for the Earth observation domain. Helios achieves state-of-the-art performance compared to 12 other foundation models across a variety of research benchmarks and real-world tasks from external partners. When evaluating embeddings Helios achieves the best performance on 15 out of 24 tasks, and with full fine-tuning it is the best on 19 of 29 tasks. We deploy Helios as the backbone of an end-to-end platform for data collection, labeling, training, and inference of Earth observation models. The Helios platform puts frontier foundation models and powerful data management tools into the hands of non-profits and NGOs working to solve the world's biggest problems. Helios source code, training data, and pre-trained weights are available at REDACTED.

Recently, the community has witnessed significant progress in human modeling from single or multi-view inputs. However, these approaches often rely on guessing the occluded regions through either generative models or template fitting. In this work, we address these challenges by exploring optimal fusion strategies using only sparse multi-view inputs. We propose SMVRT, an end-to-end implicit 3D reconstruction framework for sparse multi-view human modeling. Our key contribution lies in the fusion blocks at three stages of the network. First, local and global features alternative fusion modules are designed to enhance 2D features. Second, attentional fusion is performed on warped multi-view and multi-level 2D features to form 3D feature grid. The feature grid aggregates spatially coherent multi-view features by 3D regularization. Third, attentional 2D-3D feature aggregation generates the enhanced latent embeddings for query points to decode occupancies. Experiments on the THUman 2.0/2.1, MultiGarment and MultiHuman datasets demonstrate that our system significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods both qualitatively and quantitatively.

This paper addresses the task of large-scale 3D scene reconstruction from long video sequences. Recent feed-forward reconstruction models have shown promising results by directly regressing 3D geometry from RGB images without explicit 3D priors or geometric constraints. However, these methods often struggle to maintain reconstruction accuracy and consistency over long sequences due to limited memory capacity and the inability to effectively capture global contextual cues. In contrast, humans can naturally exploit the global understanding of the scene to inform local perception. Motivated by this, we propose a novel neural global context representation that efficiently compresses and retains long-range scene information, enabling the model to leverage extensive contextual cues for enhanced reconstruction accuracy and consistency. The context representation is realized through a set of lightweight neural sub-networks that are rapidly adapted during test time via self-supervised objectives, which substantially increases memory capacity without incurring significant computational overhead. The experiments on multiple large-scale benchmarks, including the KITTI Odometry [??] and Oxford Spires [??] datasets, demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in handling ultra-large scenes, achieving leading pose accuracy and state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction accuracy while maintaining efficiency. Code will be available at https://zju3dv.github.io/scal3r.

Open-vocabulary object detection (OVOD) enables models to detect any object category, including unseen ones. Benefiting from large-scale pre-training, existing OVOD methods achieve strong detection performance on general scenarios (e.g., OV-COCO) but suffer severe performance drops when transferred to downstream tasks with substantial domain shifts. This degradation stems from the scarcity and weak semantics of category labels in domain-specific task, as well as the inability of existing models to capture auxiliary semantics beyond coarse-grained category label. To address these issues, we propose HSA-DINO, a parameter-efficient semantic augmentation framework for enhancing open-vocabulary object detection. Specifically, we propose a multi-scale prompt bank that leverages image feature pyramids to capture hierarchical semantics and select domain-specific local semantic prompts, progressively enriching textual representations from coarse to fine-grained levels. Furthermore, we introduce a semantic-aware router that dynamically selects the appropriate semantic augmentation strategy during inference, thereby preventing parameter updates from degrading the generalization ability of the pre-trained OVOD model. We evaluate HSA-DINO on OV-COCO, several vertical domain datasets, and modified benchmark settings. The results show that HSA-DINO performs favorably against previous state-of-the-art methods, achieving a superior trade-off between domain adaptability and open-vocabulary generalization.

The dense, temporal nature of video presents a profound challenge for automated analysis. Despite the use of powerful Vision-Language Models, prevailing methods for video understanding are limited by the inherent disconnect between reasoning and perception: they rely on static, pre-processed information and cannot actively seek raw evidence from video as their understanding evolves. To address this, we introduce LensWalk, a flexible agentic framework that empowers a Large Language Model reasoner to control its own visual observation actively. LensWalk establishes a tight reason-plan-observe loop where the agent dynamically specifies, at each step, the temporal scope and sampling density of the video it observes. Using a suite of versatile, Vision-Language Model based tools parameterized by these specifications, the agent can perform broad scans for cues, focus on specific segments for fact extraction, and stitch evidence from multiple moments for holistic verification. This design allows for progressive, on-demand evidence gathering that directly serves the agent's evolving chain of thought. Without requiring any model fine-tuning, LensWalk delivers substantial, plug-and-play performance gains on multiple model recipes, boosting their accuracy by over 5% on challenging long-video benchmarks like LVBench and Video-MME. Our analysis reveals that enabling an agent to control how it sees is key to unlocking more accurate, robust, and interpretable video reasoning.

Text-conditioned human motion in-betweening leverages keyframes for spatio-temporal control, with text providing high-level semantic guidance for the transitions. However, existing methods are unable to establish a coherent alignment between textual semantics and the spatio-temporal constraints provided by keyframes, often resulting in insufficiently constrained motions with unintended behavior. Moreover, they struggle with precise spatial control, often generating motions that deviate from keyframe constraints. To address these issues, we propose a multi-level diffusion framework that integrates textual semantics with implicit cues from keyframe sequences to modulate global motion dynamics, while leveraging individual keyframes to guide local transitions around them. During inference, to ensure strict keyframe adherence, we propose a novel trajectory refinement strategy that adjusts the root positions of the generated motion, followed by diffusion imputation to refine the poses of the generated keyframes. Additionally, our framework enables semantics-preserving motion editing, allowing for plausible modifications while retaining the original motion semantics. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method generates high-quality motions that strictly satisfy keyframe constraints while achieving precise semantic alignment.

Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) set the state of the art in visual generation, yet their quadratic self-attention cost fundamentally limits scaling to long token sequences. Recent Top-K sparse attention approaches reduce the computation of DiTs by compressing tokens into block-wise representation and selecting a small set of relevant key blocks, but still suffer from (i) quadratic selection cost on compressed tokens and (ii) increasing K required to maintain model quality as sequences grow. We identify that their inefficiency is due to the single-level design, as a single coarse level is insufficient to represent the global structure.In this paper, we introduce Log-linear Sparse Attention (LLSA), a trainable sparse attention mechanism for extremely long token sequences that reduces both selection and attention costs from quadratic to log-linear complexity by utilizing a hierarchical structure. LLSA performs hierarchical Top-K selection, progressively adopting sparse Top-K selection with the indices found at the previous level,and introduces a Hierarchical KV Enrichment mechanism that preserves global context while using fewer tokens of different granularity during attention computation. To support efficient training, we develop a high-performance GPU implementation that uses only sparse indices for both the forward and backward passes, eliminating the need for dense attention masks.We evaluate LLSA on high-resolution pixel-space image generation without using patchification and VAE encoding. LLSA accelerates attention inference by 28.27 xand DiT training by 6.09 xon 256 x256 pixel token sequences, while maintaining generation quality. The results demonstrate that LLSA offers a promising direction for training long-sequence DiTs efficiently.

Vision-language models (VLMs) struggle with 3D-related tasks such as spatial cognition and physical understanding, which are crucial for real-world applications like robotics and embodied agents. We attribute this to a modality gap between the 3D tasks and the 2D training of VLM, which led to inefficient retrieval of 3D information from 2D input. To bridge this gap, we introduce SandboxVLM, a simple yet effective framework that leverages abstract bounding boxes to encode geometric structure for VLMs. Specifically, we design a 3D Sandbox reconstruction and perception pipeline comprising four stages: generating multi-view priors with abstract control, proxy elevation, multi-view voting and clustering, and 3D-aware reasoning. Evaluated in zero-shot settings across multiple benchmarks and VLM backbones, our approach consistently improves spatial intelligence, achieving an 8.3% gain on SAT Real compared with baseline methods for instance. These results demonstrate that presenting VLMs with 3D abstractions substantially enhances their 3D reasoning ability without additional training, suggesting new possibilities for general-purpose embodied intelligence.

Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have shown remarkable success in visual understanding tasks. LMMs encode visual and textual inputs into tokens, which are then processed by Large Language Models (LLMs). However, the large number of visual tokens poses a major bottleneck for inference efficiency and memory usage. Reducing visual tokens is a promising training-free solution, but existing methods remain limited. Importance-based approaches suffer from poor generalization, are incompatible with kernel-level inference optimizations, and only consider information from a single modality. Diversity-based strategies typically focus on pairwise token redundancy and treat all tokens as equally important. Recent attempts to sequentially combine importance and diversity criteria still fail to address the intrinsic drawbacks of their underlying metrics. To address these limitations, we reformulate visual token reduction as an optimal subset selection problem jointly guided by two complementary objectives: informativeness and coverage. Informativeness is quantified through per-token intrinsic saliency and visual-textual alignment, while coverage is enforced via a volume-based subset selection criterion that ensures global representativeness in the visual feature space. This joint formulation effectively integrates visual saliency, cross-modal alignment, and global coverage in an end-to-end token selection process, yielding a computationally efficient, model-agnostic framework compatible with modern inference accelerators. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CoIn substantially reduces computation and memory cost while maintaining strong task performance.

Diffusion transformers (DiTs) offer excellent scalability for high-fidelity generation, but their computational overhead poses a great challenge for practical deployment. Existing acceleration methods primarily exploit the temporal dimension, whereas spatial acceleration remains underexplored. In this work, we investigate spatial acceleration for DiTs via latent upsampling. We found that naive latent upsampling for spatial acceleration introduces artifacts, primarily due to aliasing in high-frequency edge regions and mismatching from noise-timestep discrepancies. Then, based on these findings and analyses, we propose a training-free spatial acceleration framework, dubbed Region-Adaptive Latent Upsampling (RALU), to mitigate those artifacts while achieving spatial acceleration of DiTs by our mixed-resolution latent upsampling. RALU achieves artifact-free, efficient acceleration with early upsampling only on artifact-prone edge regions and noise-timestep matching for different latent resolutions, leading to up to 7.0xspeedup on FLUX-1.dev and 3.0xon Stable Diffusion 3 with negligible quality degradation. Furthermore, our RALU is complementarily applicable to existing temporal acceleration methods and timestep-distilled models, leading to up to 15.9xspeedup.

Existing hand-object interactions (HOI) methods are largely limited to rigid objects, while 4D reconstruction methods of articulated objects generally require pre-scanning the object or even multi-view videos. It remains an unexplored but significant challenge to reconstruct 4D human-articulated-object interactions from a single monocular RGB video. Fortunately, recent advancements in foundation models present a new opportunity to address this highly ill-posed problem. To this end, we introduce ArtHOI, an optimization-based framework that integrates and refines priors from multiple foundation models. Our key contribution is a suite of novel methodologies designed to resolve the inherent inaccuracies and physical unreality of these priors. In particular, we introduce an Adaptive Sampling Refinement (ASR) method to optimize object's metric scale and pose for grounding its normalized mesh in world space. Furthermore, we propose a Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) guided hand-object alignment method, utilizing contact reasoning information as constraints of hand-object mesh composition optimization. To facilitate a comprehensive evaluation, we also contribute two new datasets, ArtHOI-RGBD and ArtHOI-Wild. Extensive experiments validate the robustness and effectiveness of our ArtHOI across diverse objects and interactions. Project: https://arthoi-reconstruction.github.io.

We present FlowFixer, a refinement framework for subject-driven generation (SDG) that restores fine details lost during generation caused by changes in scale and perspective of a subject. FlowFixer proposes direct image-to-image translation from visual references, avoiding ambiguities in language prompts. To enable image-to-image training, we introduce a one-step denoising scheme to generate self-supervised training data, which automatically removes high-frequency details while preserving global structure, effectively simulating real-world SDG errors. We further propose a keypoint matching-based metric to properly assess fidelity in details beyond semantic similarities usually measured by CLIP or DINO. Experimental results demonstrate that FlowFixer outperforms state-of-the-art SDG methods in both qualitative and quantitative evaluations, setting a new benchmark for high-fidelity subject-driven generation.

Zero-shot (ZS) 3D anomaly detection is crucial for reliable industrial inspection, as it enables detecting and localizing defects without requiring any target-category training data. Existing approaches render 3D point clouds into 2D images and leverage pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for anomaly detection. However, such strategies inevitably discard geometric details and exhibit limited sensitivity to local anomalies. In this paper, we revisit intrinsic 3D representations and explore the potential of pre-trained Point-Language Models (PLMs) for ZS 3D anomaly detection. We propose BTP (Back To Point), a novel framework that effectively aligns 3D point cloud and textual embeddings. Specifically, BTP aligns multi-granularity patch features with textual representations for localized anomaly detection, while incorporating geometric descriptors to enhance sensitivity to structural anomalies. Furthermore, we introduce a joint representation learning strategy that leverages auxiliary point cloud data to improve robustness and enrich anomaly semantics. Extensive experiments on Real3D-AD and Anomaly-ShapeNet demonstrate that BTP achieves superior performance in ZS 3D anomaly detection.

Transformer-based approaches have recently become the dominant paradigm for 3D instance segmentation. These methods typically employ a multi-layer decoder that iteratively refines a set of learnable queries into instance mask predictions. However, we observe that multiple queries often target the same instance simultaneously, leading to fragmented masks for a single object. We define this phenomenon as inter-query competition, which slows convergence and limits segmentation accuracy. To address this problem, we present CompetitorFormer, a novel framework designed for Transformer-based methods. Our method mitigates inter-query competition by explicitly modeling the competitive relationships among queries. Specifically, we introduce a Query Competition Layer before each decoder stage to construct a dynamic competitive landscape, allowing each query to perceive its relative importance. In addition, the proposed Relative Relationship Encoding and Rank Cross-Attention modules enhance both self-attention and cross-attention by prioritizing dominant queries. Extensive experiments show that our approach converges faster and achieves superior performance on the ScanNetV2, ScanNet++V2, ScanNet200, and S3DIS datasets.

Mix-supervised image segmentation aims to effectively leverage heterogeneous annotations. Recent prompt-based advances utilize foundation models such as Segment Anything Model (SAM) to generate pseudo-masks by treating weak labels as spatial prompts. However, these methods rely heavily on sparse spatial priors, leading to suboptimal performance in ambiguous regions and overlooking the potential of unlabeled data due to the absence of promptable cues. In this paper, we propose SAMIX, a novel framework that adapts SAM2 into a semantic-aware pseudo-label generator SA-SAM2 by incorporating a lightweight semantic adapter. Beyond being guided by sparse spatial prompts, SA-SAM2 facilitates dense contextual prompts provided by valuable image-mask reference pairs with shared semantics. Another core component of SAMIX is the Selecting Policy Network (SPNet), which auto-regressively retrieves relevant and complementary reference samples for each query image. Unlike rule-based selections, SPNet is trained via reinforcement learning to actively explore reference combinations that maximize pseudo-label quality. Guided by customized and verifiable rewards associated with mask quality, the selection is directed toward semantically informative and diverse contexts. We conduct extensive experiments on two general datasets (PASCAL VOC 2012 and Cityscapes) and two specific datasets with ambiguous boundaries (camouflaged object detection and image polyp segmentation). Across diverse mix-supervision settings, SAMIX consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance. Codes are available at https://github.com/Huster-Hq/SAMIX.

Active search and tracking of arbitrary targets by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in cluttered environments remains a highly challenging problem. Existing methods either construct complex modular pipelines, leading to substantial computational costs, or adopt end-to-end controllers that often fail to generalize across different targets and scenes. Moreover, search and tracking are typically treated separately despite their strong interdependence. In this paper, we present UAST, a simple yet effective mapping-free framework that unifies active search and persistent tracking using only RGB-D observations. The proposed system couples a dual-branch perception module with a Rule-Based Point Search Policy that adaptively switches between tracking and search-based recovery. A lightweight control network generates dynamically feasible trajectories directly from fused perception and UAV states. Furthermore, we introduce a training strategy with an elaborated tracking-aware visibility loss and a tailored data construction. Extensive experiments in both simulated and real-world environments show that our approach achieves higher success rates, more stable long-term tracking, and faster target search compared with existing methods, while maintaining high efficiency.

3D medical image classification is essential to modern clinical workflows. Medical foundation models (FMs) have emerged as a promising approach for scaling to new tasks, yet current research suffers from three critical pitfalls: data-regime bias, suboptimal adaptation, and insufficient task coverage. In this paper, we address these pitfalls and introduce AnyMC3D, a scalable 3D classifier adapted from 2D FMs. It allows efficient scaling to new tasks by adding only lightweight plugins ( 1M parameters per task) to a single frozen backbone. Besides, this versatile framework also supports multi-view inputs, auxiliary pixel-level supervision, and interpretable heatmap generation. We establish a comprehensive benchmark of 12 tasks covering diverse pathologies, anatomies, and modalities and systematically evaluate state-of-the-art 3D classification techniques. Our analysis reveals several key insights: (1) effective adaptation is critical to unlock FM potential, (2) general-purpose FMs can match medical-specific FMs if properly adapted, and (3) 2D-based methods surpass 3D architectures for 3D classification. For the first time, we demonstrate the feasibility of achieving state-of-the-art performance across diverse applications using a single scalable framework (e.g., 1st place in the *** challenge), eliminating the need for separate task-specific 3D models.

With the advancement of Vision-Language Models (VLMs), employing VLM-as-a-Judge for visual evaluation has become a widely adopted metric in vision research. However, existing VLM-as-a-Judge approaches suffer from biased scoring outcomes with low discrimination and lack the capacity for unified multi-attribute compositional assessment. To address these limitations, we propose a novel training paradigm, termed JoPPO (**Jo**int **P**robabilistic **P**olicy **O**ptimization) that enables the VLMs to learn ranking under compositional assessment constraints. We evaluate the JoPPO on image aesthetics as a testbed, a task requiring nuanced understanding of multiple attributes including composition, lighting, color and geometry. Training follows two stages: (1) Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on synthetic composition dataset provided by automated data generation pipeline to instill compositional priors; and (2) Contrastive Joint Conditional Probabilistic Reinforcement Learning: building upon the GRPO algorithm, we introduce JoPPO, which compute reward based on the expected win rate of total scores derived from the conditional distribution of fine-grained attribute scores within batches, effectively enhancing the model's discriminative ability in composite evaluation. Across standard aesthetic benchmarks, our method achieves consistent improvements in ranking consistency, demonstrating strong zero-shot generalization.

Immunofluorescence (IF) images reveal detailed information about structures and functions at the subcellular level. However, unlike RGB images, IF datasets pose challenges for deep learning models due to their inconsistencies in channel count and configuration, stemming from varying staining protocols across laboratories and studies. Although existing approaches build channel-adaptive models for training, they do not perform evaluations across IF datasets with unseen channel configurations. To address this, we first introduce a biologically informed view of cellular image channels by grouping them into either context or concept, where we treat the context channels as a reference for the concept channels in the image. We leverage this view to propose Channel Conditioned Cell Representations (C3R), a framework that learns representations that transfers well to both in-distribution (ID) and out-of-distribution (OOD) datasets which contain same and different channel configurations, respectively. C3R is a two-fold framework comprising a channel-adaptive encoder architecture and a masked knowledge distillation training strategy, both built around the context-concept principle. We find that C3R outperforms existing benchmarks on both ID and OOD tasks, while yielding state-of-the-art results on frozen encoder evaluation on the CHAMMI benchmark. Our method opens a new pathway for cross-dataset generalization between IF datasets, with no need for retraining on unseen channel configurations.

Video highlight detection aims to identify the most engaging segments in long-form videos, supporting content editing and recommendation, especially for movies and TV dramas. However, existing methods are ill-suited to cinematic content due to its narrative complexity, while the scarcity of annotated data and the high cost of manual labeling further hinder progress. To bridge this gap, we introduce **TVHighlights**, the first large-scale dataset tailored for video highlight detection in movies and TV dramas, with 1,721 carefully curated videos covering diverse genres. Built on community-driven behaviors, it provides realistic and diverse annotations without human labeling. Based on TVHighlights, we propose **LTV-HD**: a LLM-guided, human-free collaborative training framework for video highlight detection in cinematic content. LTV-HD operates in two stages: (1) weakly supervised pre-training of a lightweight model using video-level labels, followed by (2) iterative refinement through collaboration between large language models (LLMs) and the lightweight model. LLMs generate noisy clip-level pseudo-labels, which the lightweight model learns from under a noise-robust strategy, and its high-confidence predictions are then fed back to guide the LLM in distilling genre-specific highlight patterns through a self-improving loop. Experiments demonstrate that LTV-HD achieves state-of-the-art performance on TVHighlights, validating its effectiveness in real-world, annotation-free scenarios.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based object detection is a critical but challenging task, when applied in dynamically changing scenarios with limited annotated training data. Layout-to-image generation approaches have proved effective in promoting detection accuracy by synthesizing labeled images based on diffusion models. However, they suffer from frequently producing artifacts, especially near layout boundaries of tiny objects, thus substantially limiting their performance. To address these issues, we propose UAVGen, a novel layout-to-image generation framework tailored for UAV-based object detection. Specifically, UAVGen designs a Visual Prototype Conditioned Diffusion Model (VPC-DM) that constructs representative instances for each class and integrates them into latent embeddings for high-fidelity object generation. Moreover, a Focal Region Enhanced Data Pipeline (FRE-DP) is introduced to emphasize object-concentrated foreground regions in synthesis, combined with a label refinement to correct missing, extra and misaligned generations. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art approaches, and consistently promotes accuracy when integrated with distinct detectors.

Humans rely on the synergistic control of head (cephalomotor) and eye (oculomotor) to efficiently search for visual information in 360deg. However, prior approaches to visual search are limited to a static image, neglecting the physical embodiment and its interaction with the 3D world. How can we develop embodied visual search agents as efficient as humans while bypassing the constraints imposed by real-world hardware? To this end, we propose humanoid visual search where a humanoid agent actively rotates its head to search for objects or paths in an immersive world represented by a 360deg panoramic image. To study visual search in visually-crowded real-world scenarios, we build H* Bench, a new benchmark that moves beyond household scenes to challenging in-the-wild scenes that necessitate advanced visual-spatial reasoning capabilities, such as transportation hubs, large-scale retail spaces, urban streets, and public institutions. Our experiments first reveal that even top-tier proprietary models falter, achieving only 30% success in object and path search. We then use post-training techniques to enhance the open-source models, increasing its success rate by over threefold for both object search (14.83% - 47.38%) and path search (6.44% - 24.94%) on the smallest 3B model. Notably, the lower ceiling of path search reveals its inherent difficulty, which we attribute to the demand for sophisticated spatial commonsense. Our results not only show a promising path forward but also quantify the immense challenge that remains in building MLLM agents that can be seamlessly integrated into everyday human life.

Multi-modal fusion has emerged as a promising paradigm for accurate 3D object detection. However, performance degrades substantially when deployed in target domains different from training. In this work, focusing on dual-branch proposal-level detectors, we identify two factors that limit robust cross-domain generalization: 1) in challenging domains such as rain or nighttime, one modality may undergo severe degradation; 2) the LiDAR branch often dominates the detection process, leading to systematic underutilization of visual cues and vulnerability when point clouds are compromised. To address these challenges, we propose three components. First, Query-Decoupled Loss provides independent supervision for 2D-only, 3D-only, and fused queries, rebalancing gradient flow across modalities. Second, LiDAR-Guided Depth Prior augments 2D queries with instance-aware geometric priors through probabilistic fusion of image-predicted and LiDAR-derived depth distributions, improving their spatial initialization. Third, Complementary Cross-Modal Masking applies complementary spatial masks to the image and point cloud, encouraging queries from both modalities to compete within the fused decoder and thereby promoting adaptive fusion. Extensive experiments demonstrate substantial gains over state-of-the-art baselines while preserving source-domain performance.

Vision-Language Model (VLM) is now an important component to enable robust robot manipulation. Yet, using it to translate human instructions into an action-resolvable intermediate representation often needs a tradeoff between VLM-comprehensibility and generalizability. Inspired by context-free grammar structure, we design the Semantic Assembly representation named SEAM, by decomposing the intermediate representation into vocabulary and grammar. Doing so leads us to a concise vocabulary of semantically-rich operations and a VLM-friendly grammar for handling diverse unseen tasks. Also, we design a novel open-vocabulary segmentation paradigm with an in-context learning strategy to precisely localize fine-grained object parts for manipulation (e.g., cup handle, teapot opening) effectively with the shortest inference time over all state-of-the-art parallel works. We then formulate new metrics for action-generalizability and VLM-comprehensibility to evaluate mainstream representations, demonstrating the strong performance of SEAM on both aspects. Extensive real-world experiments further manifest the SOTA performance of SEAM under varying settings and tasks.
