Vision-Language Models (VLMs) often struggle with robust 3D spatial reasoning. Prevailing methods that rely on fine-tuning with 3D visual question-answering (VQA) datasets may overfit dataset-specific biases, while integrating specialized 3D visual encoders is often inflexible and cumbersome. In thi
Recent diffusion-based image editing methods have made great strides in text-guided tasks but often struggle with complex, indirect instructions. Additionally, current models frequently exhibit poor identity preservation, unintended edits, or rely on manual masks. To overcome these limitations, we i
Multi-view understanding, the ability to reconcile visual information across diverse viewpoints for effective navigation, manipulation, and 3D scene comprehension, is a fundamental challenge in Multi-Modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to be used as embodied agents. While recent MLLMs have shown im
Large-scale vision-language models (VLM) have shown impressive results for language-guided search applications. While these models allow category-level queries, they currently struggle with personalized searches for moments in a video where a specific object instance such as "My dog Biscuit" appears…
"Contrastive learning (CL) is one of the most successful paradigms for self-supervised learning (SSL). In a principled way, it considers two augmented views of the same image as positive to be pulled closer, and all other images negative to be pushed further apart. However, behind the impressive suc…
Self-supervised training that elegantly couples contrastive learning with a wide spectrum of data augmentation techniques has been shown to be a successful paradigm for representation learning. However, current methods implicitly maximize the agreement between differently augmented views of the same…
