AVI-Bench: Toward Human-like Audio-Visual Intelligence of Omni-MLLMs

ICML 2026poster

Recent advances in Omni-Multimodal Large Language Models (Omni-MLLMs) have enabled strong integration of vision, audio, and language. However, their audio-visual intelligence (AVI) remains insufficiently evaluated due to the lack of systematic and comprehensive benchmarks. We introduce AVI-Bench, a …

Balancing the Experts: Unlocking LoRA-MoE for GRPO via Mechanism-Aware Rewards

ICLR 2026poster

Parameter-efficient Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures, such as LoRA-MoE, enable strong and generalizable fine-tuning. However, a critical problem arises when fine-tuning these architectures with advanced reinforcement learning algorithms such as Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). Tradit…

CoF-T2I: Video Models as Pure Visual Reasoners for Text-to-Image Generation

ICML 2026poster

Recent video generation models have revealed the emergence of Chain-of-Frame (CoF) reasoning, enabling frame-by-frame visual inference. With this capability, video models have been successfully applied to various visual tasks (*e.g.*, maze solving, visual puzzles). However, their potential to enhanc…

GBFlow: Grouping Belief-Guided Dual Normalizing Flows for Accurate Spatial Domain Delineation

IJCAI 2026

Existing spatial domain identification methods primarily use graph neural networks to model spatial and transcriptional relationships. However, their performance is highly sensitive to noisy affinity graphs. Moreover, graph autoencoders tend to over-constrain latent representations, which limits the

Geometry-Aware Variational Information Maximization for Deep Incomplete Multi-view Clustering

AAAI 2026technical

Incomplete multi-view clustering (IMVC) aims to group data into meaningful clusters when each sample is only partially observed across multiple views. Most existing methods either rely on imputation strategies that may introduce noise and distort the underlying data distribution, or adopt cross-view

Information-Theoretic Disentangled Latent Modeling with Conditional Diffusion for Incomplete Multi-View Clustering

ICML 2026spotlight

Incomplete multi-view clustering is challenging due to view missingness and the entanglement of shared semantics with view-specific factors in latent representations. Existing methods often rely on heuristic fusion or direct completion strategies, which suffer from error propagation and unreliable g…

PharmaQA: Prompt-Based Molecular Representation Learning via Pharmacophore-Oriented Question Answering

AAAI 2026technical

Molecular representation plays a central role in computational drug discovery. Pharmacophores, functional groups responsible for molecular bioactivity, have been widely studied in cheminformatics. However, their incorporation into molecular representation learning, particularly in a context reasonin

VMonarch: Efficient Video Diffusion Transformers with Structured Attention

CVPR 2026

The quadratic complexity of the attention mechanism severely limits the context scalability of Video Diffusion Transformers (DiTs). We find that the highly sparse spatio-temporal attention patterns exhibited in Video DiTs can be naturally represented by the Monarch matrix. It is a class of structure

Disentangled Cross-Modal Representation Learning with Enhanced Mutual Supervision

NeurIPS 2025poster

Cross-modal representation learning aims to extract semantically aligned representations from heterogeneous modalities such as images and text. Existing multimodal VAE-based models often suffer from limited capability to align heterogeneous modalities or lack sufficient structural constraints to cle…

DynaPhArM: Adaptive and Physics-Constrained Modeling for Target-Drug Complexes with Drug-Specific Adaptations

NeurIPS 2025poster

Accurately modeling the target-drug complex at atom level presents a significant challenge in the computer-aided drug design. Traditional methods that rely solely on rigid transformations often fail to capture the adaptive interactions between targets and drugs, particularly during substantial confo…

Image-Enhanced Hybrid Encoding with Reinforced Contrastive Learning for Spatial Domain Identification in Spatial Transcriptomics

IJCAI 2025

Spatial transcriptomics integrates spatial, gene expression, and multichannel immunohistochemistry image data, enabling advanced insights into cellular organization. However, existing methods often struggle to effectively fuse these multimodal data, limiting their potential for accurate spatial doma
