3D-VCD: Hallucination Mitigation in 3D-LLM Embodied Agents through Visual Contrastive Decoding

CVPR 2026

Large Language Models are increasingly integrated as the cognitive core of 3D embodied agents to enable complex environmental reasoning. However, these agents tend to inherit the critical flaw of hallucination, often failing to ground their responses to their 3D view. While Visual Contrastive Decodi

Best of Both Worlds: Multimodal Reasoning and Generation via Unified Discrete Flow Matching

ICML 2026poster

We propose UniDFlow, a unified discrete flow-matching framework for multimodal understanding, generation, and editing. It decouples understanding and generation via task-specific low-rank adapters, avoiding objective interference and representation entanglement, while a novel reference-based multimo…

FASA: FREQUENCY-AWARE SPARSE ATTENTION

ICLR 2026poster

The deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) faces a critical bottleneck when handling lengthy inputs: the prohibitive memory footprint of the Key Value (KV) cache. To address this bottleneck, the token pruning paradigm leverages attention sparsity to selectively retain a small, critical subset of…

PHANTOM: Physics-Infused Video Generation via Joint Modeling of Visual and Latent Physical Dynamics

CVPR 2026

Recent advances in generative video modeling, driven by large-scale datasets and powerful architectures, have yielded remarkable visual realism. However, emerging evidence suggests that simply scaling data and model size does not endow these systems with an understanding of the underlying physical l

PyraTok: Language-Aligned Pyramidal Tokenizer for Video Understanding and Generation

CVPR 2026

Discrete video VAEs underpin modern text-to-video generation and video understanding systems, yet existing tokenizers typically learn visual codebooks at a single scale with limited vocabularies and shallow language supervision, leading to poor cross-modal alignment and zero-shot transfer. We introd
