(1D) Ordered Tokens Enable Efficient Test-Time Search

ICML 2026poster

Tokenization is a key component of autoregressive generative models, converting raw data into more manageable units for modeling. Commonly, tokens describe local information, such as regions of pixels in images or word pieces in text, and autoregressive generation commonly predicts these tokens in a…

MODUS: Decoder-only Any-to-Any Modeling of Diverse Modalities

ICML 2026poster

Any-to-any modeling aims to flexibly relate arbitrary modalities within a single system, a requirement that arises across multimodal learning and scientific domains such as ecology and astronomy. However, existing any-to-any approaches are typically trained from scratch using encoder–decoder or diff…

SO-Bench: A Structural Output Evaluation of Multimodal LLM

CVPR 2026

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed in real-world, agentic settings where outputs must not only be correct, but also conform to pre-defined data schemas. Despite recent progress in structured generation in textual domain, there is still no benchmark that systematically

VideoFlexTok: Flexible-Length Coarse-to-Fine Video Tokenization

ICML 2026spotlight

Visual tokenizers map high-dimensional raw pixels into a compressed representation for downstream modeling, e.g., conditional video generation. Beyond compression, tokenizers define what information is preserved and how it is organized. A _de facto_ standard approach is to represent a video with a s…

Cubify Anything: Scaling Indoor 3D Object Detection

CVPR 2025highlight

We consider indoor 3D object detection with respect to a single RGB(-D) frame acquired from a commodity handheld device. We seek to significantly advance the status quo with respect to both data and modeling. First, we establish that existing datasets have significant limitations to scale, accuracy,…

FlexTok: Resampling Images into 1D Token Sequences of Flexible Length

ICML 2025poster

We introduce FlexTok, a tokenizer that projects 2D images into variable-length, ordered 1D token sequences. For example, a 256x256 image can be resampled into anywhere from 1 to 256 discrete tokens, hierarchically and semantically compressing its information. By training a rectified flow model as th…

MM-Spatial: Exploring 3D Spatial Understanding in Multimodal LLMs

ICCV 2025poster

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) excel at 2D visual understanding but remain limited in their ability to reason about 3D space. In this work, we leverage large-scale high-quality 3D scene data with open-set annotations to introduce 1) a novel supervised fine-tuning dataset and 2) a new evalu…

Rooms from Motion: Un-posed Indoor 3D Object Detection as Localization and Mapping

NeurIPS 2025poster

We revisit scene-level 3D object detection as the output of an object-centric framework capable of both localization and mapping using 3D oriented boxes as the underlying geometric primitive. While existing 3D object detection approaches operate globally and implicitly rely on the a priori existence…

4M-21: An Any-to-Any Vision Model for Tens of Tasks and Modalities

NeurIPS 2024poster

Current multimodal and multitask foundation models, like 4M or UnifiedIO, show promising results. However, their out-of-the-box abilities to accept diverse inputs and perform diverse tasks are limited by the (usually small) number of modalities and tasks they are trained on. In this paper, we develo…

4M: Massively Multimodal Masked Modeling

NeurIPS 2023spotlight

Current machine learning models for vision are often highly specialized and limited to a single modality and task. In contrast, recent large language models exhibit a wide range of capabilities, hinting at a possibility for similarly versatile models in computer vision. In this paper, we take a step…
