Forest-Based Graph Learning for Semi-Supervised Node Classification

ICLR 2026poster

Existing Graph Neural Networks usually learn long-distance knowledge via stacked layers or global attention, but struggle to balance cost-effectiveness and global receptive field. In this work, we break the dilemma by proposing a novel forest-based graph learning (FGL) paradigm that enables efficien…

LongVT: Incentivizing "Thinking with Long Videos" via Native Tool Calling

CVPR 2026

Large multimodal models (LMMs) have shown great potential for video reasoning with textual Chain-of-Thought. However, they remain vulnerable to hallucinations, especially when processing long-form videos where evidence is sparse and temporally dispersed. Inspired by how humans comprehend long videos

UniME-V2: MLLM-as-a-Judge for Universal Multimodal Embedding Learning

AAAI 2026technical

Universal multimodal embedding models are essential in various tasks. Existing approaches typically use in-batch mining to identify hard negatives by measuring the similarity of query-candidate pairs. However, these methods often struggle to capture subtle semantic differences among candidates and l

LMMs-Eval: Reality Check on the Evaluation of Large Multimodal Models

NAACL 2025findings

The advances of large foundation models necessitate wide-coverage, low-cost, and zero-contamination benchmarks. Despite continuous exploration of language model evaluations, comprehensive studies on the evaluation of Large Multi-modal Models (LMMs) remain limited. In this work, we introduce LMMS-EVA…

Robust Reward Placement under Uncertainty

IJCAI 2024poster

We consider a problem of placing generators of rewards to be collected by randomly moving agents in a network. In many settings, the precise mobility pattern may be one of several possible, based on parameters outside our control, such as weather conditions. The placement should be robust to this un…
