The “thinking with images” paradigm has led multimodal large language models to generate intermediate visual steps—such as cropping, annotation, spatial localization, and sketches—to enhance high-resolution perception and complex reasoning. However, existing multimodal Process Reward Models (PRMs) e…
We present SWIM (See What I Mean), a novel training strategy that aligns vision and language representations to enable fine-grained object understanding solely from textual prompts. Unlike existing approaches that require explicit visual prompts, such as masks or points, SWIM leverages mask supervis
Recent advances in scene understanding benefit a lot from depth maps because of the 3D geometry information, especially in complex conditions (e.g., low light and overexposed). Existing approaches encode depth maps along with RGB images and perform feature fusion between them to enable more robust p…
In this paper, we explore how to develop salient object detection models using adder neural networks (ANNs), which are more energy efficient than convolutional neural networks (CNNs), especially for real-world applications. Based on our empirical studies, we show that directly replacing the convolut…
Recent research on representation learning has proved the merits of multi-modal clues for robust semantic segmentation. Nevertheless, a flexible pretrain-and-finetune pipeline for multiple visual modalities remains unexplored. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-modal learning framework, termed…
Recent progress in the text-driven 3D stylization of a single object has been considerably promoted by CLIP-based methods. However the stylization of multi-object 3D scenes is still impeded in that the image-text pairs used for pre-training CLIP mostly consist of an object. Meanwhile the local detai…
