3DAlign-DAER: Dynamic Attention Policy and Efficient Retrieval Strategy for Fine-grained 3D-Text Alignment at Scale

AAAI 2026technical

Despite recent advancements in 3D-text cross-modal alignment, existing state-of-the-art methods still struggle to align fine-grained textual semantics with detailed geometric structures, and their alignment performance degrades significantly when scaling to large-scale 3D databases. To overcome this

Dynamics-Aware Preference Optimization for Vision-Language Models

CVPR 2026

Preference-based finetuning of vision-language models (VLMs) is notoriously unstable, as trivially wrong negatives inject uninformative gradients that distort optimization and degrade calibration. This work revisits this issue through the lens of learning dynamics and identifies a core pathology, th

Failure-Driven Workflow Refinement

ICML 2026spotlight

Workflow optimization for tool-using LLM agents is often cast as global search over candidate graphs, scored by a scalar metric. This collapses rich, multi-step failure traces into binary outcomes, obscuring recurring failure structure and making refinement inefficient. We reframe optimization as \e…

Hybrid Token Compression for Vision-Language Models

CVPR 2026

Vision-language models (VLMs) have transformed multimodal reasoning, but feeding hundreds of visual patch tokens to LLMs incurs quadratic computational costs, straining memory and context windows. Traditional approaches face a trade-off: continuous compression dilutes high-level semantics like objec

LLM-CAS: Dynamic Neuron Perturbation for Real-Time Hallucination Correction

AAAI 2026technical

Large language models (LLMs) often generate hallucinated content lacking factual or contextual grounding, hindering their reliability in critical applications. Traditional methods like supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning from human feedback are data-intensive and computationally expens

RaCoT: Plug-and-Play Contrastive Example Generation Mechanism for Enhanced LLM Reasoning Reliability

AAAI 2026technical

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) faces a core bottleneck with knowledge-sparse and semantically ambiguous long-tail queries, where retrieval noise distorts reasoning and necessitates costly post-processing. To tackle this, we propose RaCoT (Retrieval-aware Contrastive-of-Thought), a novel framew

Top-Down Semantic Refinement for Image Captioning

AAAI 2026technical

Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) face an inherent contradiction in image captioning: their powerful single-step generation capabilities often lead to a myopic decision-making process. This makes it difficult to maintain global narrative coherence while capturing rich details, a limitation that is

Why Keep Your Doubts to Yourself? Trading Visual Uncertainties in Multi-Agent Bandit Systems

ICLR 2026poster

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) enable powerful multi-agent systems, but scaling them is economically unsustainable: coordinating heterogeneous agents under information asymmetry often spirals costs. Existing paradigms, such as Mixture-of-Agents and knowledge-based routers, rely on heuristic proxies t…

CCG: Rare-Label Prediction via Neural SEM–Driven Causal Game

EMNLP 2025

Multi-label classification (MLC) faces persistent challenges from label imbalance, spurious correlations, and distribution shifts, especially in rare label prediction. We propose the Causal Cooperative Game (CCG) framework, which models MLC as a multi-player cooperative process. CCG integrates expli
