LayoutVLM: Differentiable Optimization of 3D Layout via Vision-Language Models

CVPR 2025poster

Spatial reasoning is a fundamental aspect of human cognition, enabling intuitive understanding and manipulation of objects in three-dimensional space. While foundation models demonstrate remarkable performance on some benchmarks, they still struggle with 3D reasoning tasks like arranging objects in…

ResearchCodeBench: Benchmarking LLMs on Implementing Novel Machine Learning Research Code

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in transforming machine learning research, yet their capability to faithfully implement genuinely novel ideas from recent research papers—ideas unseen during pretraining—remains unclear. We introduce ResearchCodeBench, a benchmark that evaluates LLMs’…

Symmetrical Visual Contrastive Optimization: Aligning Vision-Language Models with Minimal Contrastive Images

ACL 2025long

Recent studies have shown that Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) tend to neglect image content and over-rely on language-model priors, resulting in errors in visually grounded tasks and hallucinations. We hypothesize that this issue arises because existing VLMs are not explicitly trained to genera…

FactorSim: Generative Simulation via Factorized Representation

NeurIPS 2024poster

Generating simulations to train intelligent agents in game-playing and robotics from natural language input, user input, or task documentation remains an open-ended challenge. Existing approaches focus on parts of this challenge, such as generating reward functions or task hyperparameters. Unlike pr…

Holodeck: Language Guided Generation of 3D Embodied AI Environments

CVPR 2024poster

3D simulated environments play a critical role in Embodied AI but their creation requires expertise and extensive manual effort restricting their diversity and scope. To mitigate this limitation we present Holodeck a system that generates 3D environments to match a user-supplied prompt fully automat…

Task Arithmetic can Mitigate Synthetic-to-Real Gap in Automatic Speech Recognition

EMNLP 2024main

Synthetic data is widely used in speech recognition due to the availability of text-to-speech models, which facilitate adapting models to previously unseen text domains. However, existing methods suffer in performance when they fine-tune an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model on synthetic data…

Interaction Modeling with Multiplex Attention

NeurIPS 2022accept

Modeling multi-agent systems requires understanding how agents interact. Such systems are often difficult to model because they can involve a variety of types of interactions that layer together to drive rich social behavioral dynamics. Here we introduce a method for accurately modeling multi-agent…

Physion: Evaluating Physical Prediction from Vision in Humans and Machines

NeurIPS 2021poster

While current vision algorithms excel at many challenging tasks, it is unclear how well they understand the physical dynamics of real-world environments. Here we introduce Physion, a dataset and benchmark for rigorously evaluating the ability to predict how physical scenarios will evolve over time.…

Put Chatbot into Its Interlocutor’s Shoes: New Framework to Learn Chatbot Responding with Intention

NAACL 2021long

Most chatbot literature that focuses on improving the fluency and coherence of a chatbot, is dedicated to making chatbots more human-like. However, very little work delves into what really separates humans from chatbots – humans intrinsically understand the effect their responses have on the interlo…

InfoGraph: Unsupervised and Semi-supervised Graph-Level Representation Learning via Mutual Information Maximization

ICLR 2020spotlight

This paper studies learning the representations of whole graphs in both unsupervised and semi-supervised scenarios. Graph-level representations are critical in a variety of real-world applications such as predicting the properties of molecules and community analysis in social networks. Traditional g…

vGraph: A Generative Model for Joint Community Detection and Node Representation Learning

NeurIPS 2019poster

This paper focuses on two fundamental tasks of graph analysis: community detection and node representation learning, which capture the global and local structures of graphs respectively. In existing literature, these two tasks are usually independently studied while they are actually highly correlat…
