BabyVLM-V2: Toward Developmentally Grounded Pretraining and Benchmarking of Vision Foundation Models

CVPR 2026

Early children's developmental trajectories set up a natural goal for sample-efficient pretraining of vision foundation models. We introduce BabyVLM-V2, a developmentally grounded framework for infant-inspired vision-language modeling that extensively improves upon BabyVLM-V1 through a longitudinal,

Symmetry Reveals the In-Context Classifier: Transformers Implement Mean-Shift Dynamics

ICML 2026spotlight

Transformers can perform in-context classification from a few labeled examples, yet the inference-time algorithm remains opaque. We study multi-class linear classification in the hard no-margin regime and make the computation identifiable by enforcing feature- and label-permutation equivariance at e…

BabyVLM: Data-Efficient Pretraining of VLMs Inspired by Infant Learning

ICCV 2025poster

Human infants rapidly develop visual reasoning skills from minimal input, suggesting that developmentally inspired pretraining could significantly enhance the efficiency of vision-language models (VLMs). Although recent efforts have leveraged infant-inspired datasets like SAYCam, existing evaluation…

Rewind and Render: Towards Factually Accurate Text-to-Video Generation with Distilled Knowledge Retrieval

AAAI 2025technical

Text-to-Video (T2V) models, despite recent advancements, struggle with factual accuracy, especially for knowledge-dense content. We introduce FACT-V (Factual Accuracy in Content Translation to Video), a system integrating multi-source knowledge retrieval into T2V pipelines. FACT-V offers two key ben…
