Multimodal fake news detection plays a crucial role in combating online misinformation. The inherent domain diversity of news in the real world has driven the development of cross-domain detection methods. However, these detection methods either suffer from significant performance degradation due to
Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) have become a cornerstone in mechanistic interpretability. However, current training methods inherit the Block Training paradigm from LLM pre-training. We identify this as a critical methodological oversight when applied to instruct models. Theoretically, utilizing GSNR an…
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in visual-language understanding. Despite their success, LVLMs still suffer from generating hallucinations in complex generation tasks, leading to inconsistencies between visual inputs and generated content. To address this issu
Recent advances in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) have empowered large language models (LLMs) to tackle challenging reasoning tasks such as mathematics and programming. Despite its promise, the RLVR paradigm poses significant challenges, as existing methods often suffer from s…
Reward models are crucial for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values and intentions. Existing approaches follow either Generative (GRMs) or Discriminative (DRMs) paradigms, yet both suffer from limitations: GRMs typically demand costly point-wise supervision, while DRMs produce unca…
Streaming video reasoning requires models to operate in a setting where history grows without bound while meaningful evidence remains scarce. In such a landscape, relevant signal is like an oasis -- small, critical, and easily lost in a desert of redundancy. Enlarging memory only widens the desert;
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a prevailing paradigm for enhancing reasoning in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). However, relying solely on outcome supervision risks reward hacking, where models learn spurious reasoning patterns to satisfy final answer …
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have recently demonstrated impressive performance across a range of reasoning tasks by generating intermediate thoughts. However, these models can suffer from overthinking—generating excessive tokens that contribute little to final accuracy while increasing inference co
Multimodal sentiment analysis aims to integrate diverse modalities for precise emotional interpretation. However, external factors such as sensor malfunctions or network issues may disrupt certain modalities. This may lead to missing data, which poses challenges in real-world deployment. Most existi…
Semi-supervised Federated Learning (SSFL) is a promising approach that allows clients to collaboratively train a global model in the absence of their local data labels. The key step of SSFL is the re-labeling where each client adopts two types of available models, namely global and local models, to…
Fine-grained open-vocabulary object detection (FG-OVD) aims to detect novel object categories described by attribute-rich texts. While existing open-vocabulary detectors show promise at the base-category level, they underperform in fine-grained settings due to the semantic entanglement of subjects a…
Some of the latest released Code Large Language Models (Code LLMs) have been trained on repository-level code data, enabling them to perceive repository structures and utilize cross-file code information. This capability allows us to directly concatenate the content of repository code files in promp…
Detecting and grounding multi-modal media manipulation aims to categorize the type and localize the region of manipulation for image-text pairs in both two modalities. Existing methods have not sufficiently explored the intrinsic properties of the manipulated images, which contain both forgery and c…
Multi-view object tracking (MVOT) offers promising solutions to challenges such as occlusion and target loss, which are common in traditional single-view tracking. However, progress has been limited by the lack of comprehensive multi-view datasets and effective cross-view integration methods. To ove…
Retrieval-augmented language models (RALMs) aim to incorporate external knowledge to address the issues of factual hallucination and knowledge obsolescence faced by large language models (LLMs). Inevitably, the retrieved passages based on similarity search may be irrelevant to the given question, an…
Recent advancements in omnimodal learning have significantly improved understanding and generation across images, text, and speech, yet these developments remain predominantly confined to proprietary models. The lack of high-quality omnimodal datasets and the challenges of real-time emotional speech…
Stories are central to human culture, serving to share ideas, preserve traditions, and foster connections. Automatic story generation, a key advancement in artificial intelligence (AI), offers new possibilities for creating personalized content, exploring creative ideas, and enhancing interactive ex…
We delve into pseudo-labeling for semi-supervised monocular 3D object detection (SSM3OD) and discover two primary issues: a misalignment between the prediction quality of 3D and 2D attributes and the tendency of depth supervision derived from pseudo-labels to be noisy leading to significant optimiza…
