VLM-3R: Vision-Language Models Augmented with Instruction-Aligned 3D Reconstruction

CVPR 2026

The rapid advancement of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) for 2D images and videos has sparked interest in extending these models to 3D scenes, with the goal of human-like visual-spatial intelligence. However, achieving deep spatial understanding comparable to human capabilities remains challenging fo

Extracting and Understanding the Superficial Knowledge in Alignment

NAACL 2025long

Alignment of large language models (LLMs) with human values and preferences, often achieved through fine-tuning based on human feedback, is essential for ensuring safe and responsible AI behaviors. However, the process typically requires substantial data and computation resources. Recent studies hav…

From Low Rank Gradient Subspace Stabilization to Low-Rank Weights: Observations, Theories, and Applications

ICML 2025poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) matrices can often be expressed in low-rank format with potential to relax memory and compute resource requirements. Unlike previous works which pivot around developing novel matrix decomposition algorithms, in this work we focus to study the emerging non-uniform low-ran…

Learning Along the Arrow of Time: Hyperbolic Geometry for Backward-Compatible Representation Learning

ICML 2025poster

Backward compatible representation learning enables updated models to integrate seamlessly with existing ones, avoiding to reprocess stored data. Despite recent advances, existing compatibility approaches in Euclidean space neglect the uncertainty in the old embedding models and force the new model…

Found in the Middle: How Language Models Use Long Contexts Better via Plug-and-Play Positional Encoding

NeurIPS 2024poster

This paper aims to overcome the ``lost-in-the-middle'' challenge of large language models (LLMs). While recent advancements have successfully enabled LLMs to perform stable language modeling with up to 4 million tokens, the persistent difficulty faced by most LLMs in identifying relevant information…

Towards a Deep and Unified Understanding of Deep Neural Models in NLP

ICML 2019oral

We define a unified information-based measure to provide quantitative explanations on how intermediate layers of deep Natural Language Processing (NLP) models leverage information of input words. Our method advances existing explanation methods by addressing issues in coherency and generality. Expla…
