ACTIVE-o3 : Empowering MLLMs with Active Perception via Pure Reinforcement Learning

ICML 2026poster

Active vision, also known as active perception, refers to actively selecting where and how to look in order to gather task-relevant information. It is a critical component of efficient perception and decision-making in humans and advanced embodied agents. With the rise of Multimodal Large Language M…

Alleviating Sparse Rewards by Modeling Step-Wise and Long-Term Sampling Effects in Flow-Based GRPO

ICML 2026poster

Deploying GRPO on Flow Matching models has proven effective for text-to-image generation. However, existing paradigms typically propagate an outcome-based reward to all preceding denoising steps without distinguishing the local effect of each step. Moreover, current group-wise ranking mainly compare…

GAE: Unleashing Physical Potential of VLM with Generalizable Action Expert

ICML 2026poster

Vision-language models demonstrate strong reasoning and planning abilities, yet grounding these predictions into precise robot actions remains a central challenge. Existing Vision-Language-Action methods typically entangle reasoning and action generation, leading to limited generalization and costly…

StaMo: Unsupervised Learning of Generalizable Robot Motion from Compact State Representation

CVPR 2026

A fundamental challenge in embodied intelligence is developing expressive and compact state representations for efficient world modeling and decision making. However, existing methods often fail to achieve this balance, yielding representations that are either overly redundant or lacking in task-cri

TINKER: Diffusion's Gift to 3D--Multi-View Consistent Editing From Sparse Inputs without Per-Scene Optimization

ICLR 2026poster

We introduce TINKER, a novel framework for high-fidelity 3D editing without any per-scene finetuning, where only a single edited image (one-shot) or a few edited images (few-shot) are required as input. Unlike prior techniques that demand extensive per-scene optimization to ensure multi-view consist…

DICEPTION: A Generalist Diffusion Model for Visual Perceptual Tasks

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

This paper's primary objective is to develop a robust generalist perception model capable of addressing multiple tasks under constraints of computational resources and limited training data. We leverage text-to-image diffusion models pre-trained on billions of images and successfully introduce our D…

MovieDreamer: Hierarchical Generation for Coherent Long Visual Sequences

ICLR 2025poster

Recent advancements in video generation have primarily leveraged diffusion models for short-duration content. However, these approaches often fall short in modeling complex narratives and maintaining character consistency over extended periods, which is essential for long-form video production like…

Omni-R1: Reinforcement Learning for Omnimodal Reasoning via Two-System Collaboration

NeurIPS 2025poster

Long-horizon video-audio reasoning and fine-grained pixel understanding impose conflicting requirements on omnimodal models: dense temporal coverage demands many low-resolution frames, whereas precise grounding calls for high-resolution inputs. We tackle this trade-off with a two-system architecture…

FreeCustom: Tuning-Free Customized Image Generation for Multi-Concept Composition

CVPR 2024poster

Benefiting from large-scale pre-trained text-to-image (T2I) generative models impressive progress has been achieved in customized image generation which aims to generate user-specified concepts. Existing approaches have extensively focused on single-concept customization and still encounter challeng…
