PANDA: Empowering Small Language Models for Proactive Dialogue Through Agent-Based Synthesis (Student Abstract)

AAAI 2026technical

Proactive dialogue systems, which are designed to guide conversations toward predetermined goals. However, contemporary LLMs predominantly function as passive assistants, mechanically executing human instructions. A key challenge contributing to this limitation is the inherent difficulty in acquirin

UniFuture: A 4D Driving World Model for Future Generation and Perception

ICRA 2026poster

We present UniFuture, a unified 4D Driving World Model designed to simulate the dynamic evolution of the 3D physical world. Unlike existing driving world models that focus solely on 2D pixel-level video generation (lacking geometry) or static perception (lacking temporal dynamics), our approach brid…

HERMES: A Unified Self-Driving World Model for Simultaneous 3D Scene Understanding and Generation

ICCV 2025poster

Driving World Models (DWMs) have become essential for autonomous driving by enabling future scene prediction. However, existing DWMs are limited to scene generation and fail to incorporate scene understanding, which involves interpreting and reasoning about the driving environment. In this paper, we…

ORION: A Holistic End-to-End Autonomous Driving Framework by Vision-Language Instructed Action Generation

ICCV 2025poster

End-to-end (E2E) autonomous driving methods still struggle to make correct decisions in interactive closed-loop evaluation due to limited causal reasoning capability. Current methods attempt to leverage the powerful understanding and reasoning abilities of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to resolve th…

Make Your ViT-based Multi-view 3D Detectors Faster via Token Compression

ECCV 2024poster

"Slow inference speed is one of the most crucial concerns for deploying multi-view 3D detectors to tasks with high real-time requirements like autonomous driving. Although many sparse query-based methods have already attempted to improve the efficiency of 3D detectors, they neglect to consider the b…

A Simple Vision Transformer for Weakly Semi-supervised 3D Object Detection

ICCV 2023poster

Advanced 3D object detection methods usually rely on large-scale, elaborately labeled datasets to achieve good performance. However, labeling the bounding boxes for the 3D objects is difficult and expensive. Although semi-supervised (SS3D) and weakly-supervised 3D object detection (WS3D) methods can…

You Only Look Bottom-Up for Monocular 3D Object Detection

RA-L 2023

Monocular 3D Object Detection is an essential task for autonomous driving. Meanwhile, accurate 3D object detection from pure images is very challenging due to the loss of depth information. Most existing image-based methods infer objects' location in 3D space based on their 2D sizes on the image pla
