AutoDrive-R²: Incentivizing Reasoning and Self-Reflection Capacity for VLA Model in Autonomous Driving

ICLR 2026poster

Vision–Language–Action (VLA) models in autonomous driving systems have recently demonstrated transformative potential by integrating multimodal perception with decision-making capabilities. However, the interpretability and coherence of the decision process and the plausibility of action sequences r…

Reasoning-VLA: An Efficient and Spatial-Guided General Vision-Language-Action Reasoning Model for Autonomous Driving

ICML 2026poster

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have recently shown strong decision-making capabilities in autonomous driving. However, existing VLAs often struggle with achieving efficient inference and generalizing to novel autonomous vehicle configurations and driving scenarios. In this paper, we propose Rea…

Video-STAR: Reinforcing Open-Vocabulary Action Recognition with Tools

ICLR 2026poster

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable potential in bridging visual and textual reasoning, yet their reliance on text-centric priors often limits their ability to disentangle semantically similar actions in open-vocabulary scenarios. To address this, we propose Video-S…

CoC-VLA: Delving into Adversarial Domain Transfer for Explainable Autonomous Driving via Chain-of-Causality Visual-Language-Action Model

NeurIPS 2025poster

Autonomous driving represents a prominent application of artificial intelligence. Recent approaches have shifted from focusing solely on common scenarios to addressing complex, long-tail situations such as subtle human behaviors, traffic accidents, and non-compliant driving patterns. Given the demon…

EFSA: Towards Event-Level Financial Sentiment Analysis

ACL 2024long

In this paper, we extend financial sentiment analysis (FSA) to event-level since events usually serve as the subject of the sentiment in financial text. Though extracting events from the financial text may be conducive to accurate sentiment predictions, it has specialized challenges due to the lengt…
