Causal-JEPA: Learning World Models through Object-Level Latent Interventions

ICML 2026poster

World models require robust relational understanding to support prediction, reasoning, and control. While object-centric representations provide a useful abstraction, they are not sufficient to capture interaction-dependent dynamics. We therefore propose C-JEPA, a simple and flexible object-centric …

VAGUE: Visual Contexts Clarify Ambiguous Expressions

ICCV 2025poster

Human communication often relies on visual cues to resolve ambiguity. While humans can intuitively integrate these cues, AI systems often find it challenging to engage in sophisticated multimodal reasoning. We introduce VAGUE, a benchmark evaluating multimodal AI systems' ability to integrate visual…

Compact and De-Biased Negative Instance Embedding for Multi-Instance Learning on Whole-Slide Image Classification

ICASSP 2024accepted

Whole-slide image (WSI) classification is a challenging task because 1) patches from WSI lack annotation, and 2) WSI possesses unnecessary variability, e.g., stain protocol. Recently, Multiple-Instance Learning (MIL) has made significant progress, allowing for classification based on slide-level, ra…
