Beyond Next-Token Alignment: Distilling Multimodal Large Language Models via Token Interactions

ICML 2026poster

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate impressive cross-modal capabilities, yet their substantial size poses significant deployment challenges. Knowledge distillation (KD) is a promising solution for compressing these models, but existing methods primarily rely on static next-token ali…

GuardTrace-VL: Detecting Unsafe Multimodel Reasoning via Iterative Safety Supervision

CVPR 2026

Multimodal large reasoning models (MLRMs) are increasingly deployed for vision-language tasks that produce explicit intermediate rationales. However, reasoning traces can contain unsafe content even when the final answer is non-harmful, creating deployment risks. Existing multimodal safety guards pr

ViRC: Enhancing Visual Interleaved Mathematical CoT with Reason Chunking

CVPR 2026

CoT has significantly enhanced the reasoning ability of LLMs while it faces challenges when extended to multimodal domains, particularly in mathematical tasks.Existing MLLMs typically perform textual reasoning solely from a single static mathematical image, overlooking dynamic visual acquisition dur

Parameter-free and Accessible Prompt Learning to Enhance Adversarial Robustness for Pre-trained Vision-Language Models

NAACL 2025long

Large pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have revolutionized both computer vision and natural language processing. Despite their success, adversarial examples can still mislead VLMs into producing incorrect results. This work focuses on boosting the adversarial robustness of VLMs by searching…

UIA-ViT: Unsupervised Inconsistency-Aware Method Based on Vision Transformer for Face Forgery Detection

ECCV 2022poster

"Intra-frame inconsistency has been proved to be effective for the generalization of face forgery detection. However, learning to focus on these inconsistency requires extra pixel-level forged location annotations. Acquiring such annotations is non-trivial. Some existing methods generate large-scale…
