Caption Anything in Video: Fine-grained Object-centric Captioning via Spatiotemporal Multimodal Prompting

AAAI 2026technical

In this work, we introduce CAT-V (Caption Anything in Video), a training-free framework for fine-grained object-centric video captioning of user-selected instances. CAT-V combines (i) a SAMURAI-based Segmenter for precise object masks across frames, (ii) a TRACE-Uni Temporal Analyzer for event bound

MultiBreak: A Scalable and Diverse Multi-turn Jailbreak Benchmark for Evaluating LLM Safety

ICML 2026poster

We present MultiBreak, a scalable and diverse multi-turn jailbreak benchmark to evaluate large language model (LLM) safety. Multi-turn jailbreaks mimic natural conversational settings, making them easier to bypass safety-aligned LLM than single-turn jailbreaks. Existing multi-turn benchmarks are lim…

SEMA: Simple yet Effective Learning for Multi-Turn Jailbreak Attacks

ICLR 2026poster

Multi-turn jailbreaks capture the real threat model for safety-aligned chatbots, where single-turn attacks are merely a special case. Yet existing approaches break under exploration complexity and intent drift. We propose SEMA, a simple yet effective framework that trains a multi-turn attacker witho…

Empowering LLMs with Pseudo-Untrimmed Videos for Audio-Visual Temporal Understanding

AAAI 2025technical

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in natural language and multimodal domains. By fine-tuning multimodal LLMs with temporal annotations from well-annotated datasets, e.g., dense video captioning datasets, their temporal understanding capacity in video-language tas…

FLOPS: Forward Learning with OPtimal Sampling

ICLR 2025poster

Given the limitations of backpropagation, perturbation-based gradient computation methods have recently gained focus for learning with only forward passes, also referred to as queries. Conventional forward learning consumes enormous queries on each data point for accurate gradient estimation through…

MMPerspective: Do MLLMs Understand Perspective? A Comprehensive Benchmark for Perspective Perception, Reasoning, and Robustness

NeurIPS 2025poster

Understanding perspective is fundamental to human visual perception, yet the extent to which multimodal large language models (MLLMs) internalize perspective geometry remains unclear. We introduce MMPerspective, the first benchmark specifically designed to systematically evaluate MLLMs' understandin…

VidComposition: Can MLLMs Analyze Compositions in Compiled Videos?

CVPR 2025poster

The advancement of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) has enabled significant progress in multimodal understanding, expanding their capacity to analyze video content. However, existing evaluation benchmarks for MLLMs primarily focus on abstract video comprehension, lacking a detailed assessmen…

Discover and Mitigate Multiple Biased Subgroups in Image Classifiers

CVPR 2024poster

Machine learning models can perform well on in-distribution data but often fail on biased subgroups that are underrepresented in the training data hindering the robustness of models for reliable applications. Such subgroups are typically unknown due to the absence of subgroup labels. Discovering bia…
