APEX: A Decoupled Memory-based Explorer for Asynchronous Aerial Object Goal Navigation

CVPR 2026

The Aerial Object Goal Navigation, a challenging frontier in Embodied AI, requires an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) agent to autonomously explore, reason, and identify a specific target using only visual perception and language description. However, existing methods struggle with the memorization of

Beyond Geometry: Artistic Disparity Synthesis for Immersive 2D-to-3D

CVPR 2026

Current 2D-to-3D conversion methods achieve geometric accuracy but are artistically deficient, failing to replicate the immersive and emotionally resonant experience of professional 3D cinema. This is because "geometric reconstruction" paradigms mistake deliberate artistic intent--such as strategic

HiMo-CLIP: Modeling Semantic Hierarchy and Monotonicity in Vision-Language Alignment

AAAI 2026technical

Contrastive vision-language models like CLIP have achieved impressive results in image-text retrieval by aligning image and text representations in a shared embedding space. However, these models often treat text as flat sequences, limiting their ability to handle complex, compositional, and long-fo

IdentityGuard: Context-Aware Restriction and Provenance for Personalized Synthesis

ICASSP 2026poster

The nature of personalized text-to-image models poses a unique safety challenge that generic context-blind methods are ill-equipped to handle. Such global filters create a dilemma: to prevent misuse, they are forced to damage the model's broader utility by erasing concepts entirely, causing unaccept…

Mitigating Object Hallucinations in Large Vision-Language Models with Assembly of Global and Local Attention

CVPR 2025poster

Despite great success across various multimodal tasks, Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) often encounter object hallucinations with generated textual responses being inconsistent with the actual objects in images. We examine different LVLMs and pinpoint that one root cause of object hallucination…
