CodeDance: A Dynamic Tool-integrated MLLM for Executable Visual Reasoning

CVPR 2026

Recent releases such as o3 highlight human-like "thinking with images" reasoning that combines tool use with stepwise verification, yet most open-source approaches still rely on text-only chains, rigid visual schemas, or single-step pipelines, limiting flexibility, interpretability, and transferabil

Towards Effective and Efficient Context-aware Nucleus Detection in Histopathology Whole Slide Images

AAAI 2026technical

Nucleus detection in histopathology whole slide images (WSIs) is crucial for a broad spectrum of clinical applications. The gigapixel size of WSIs necessitates the use of sliding window methodology for nucleus detection. However, mainstream methods process each sliding window independently, which ov
