Theory of Mind (ToM) is a must-acquire skill for modern foundation model systems to operate effectively and safely in the real world. Recent works have explored honing ToM via post-training; however, we show that such progress is confounded by a pervasive “shortcut” issue: tasks can reach up to 99% …
This paper presents the first-ever study of adapting compressed image latents to suit the needs of downstream vision tasks that adopt Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). MLLMs have extended the success of large language models to modalities (e.g. images) beyond text, but their billion scale hi…
Visual instruction tuning (VIT) for large vision-language models (LVLMs) requires training on expansive datasets of image-instruction pairs, which can be costly. Recent efforts in VIT data selection aim to select a small subset of high-quality image-instruction pairs, reducing VIT runtime while main…
Theory-of-mind (ToM) enables humans to infer mental states—such as beliefs, desires, and intentions—forming the foundation of social cognition. Existing computational ToM methods rely on structured workflows with ToM-specific priors or deep model fine-tuning but struggle with scalability in multimod…
Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection (ZSAD) is an emerging AD paradigm. Unlike the traditional unsupervised AD setting that requires a large number of normal samples to train a model, ZSAD is more practical for handling data-restricted real-world scenarios. Recently, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs)…
We introduce PlausiVL a large video-language model for anticipating action sequences that are plausible in the real-world. While significant efforts have been made towards anticipating future actions prior approaches do not take into account the aspect of plausibility in an action sequence. To addre…
Human action anticipation aims at predicting what people will do in the future based on past observations. In this paper we introduce Uncertainty-aware Action Decoupling Transformer (UADT) for action anticipation. Unlike existing methods that directly predict action in a verb-noun pair format we dec…
Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) of semantic segmentation transfers labeled source knowledge to an unlabeled target domain by relying on accessing both the source and target data. However, the access to source data is often restricted or infeasible in real-world scenarios. Under the source data…
Monocular depth estimation (MDE) has attracted intense study due to its low cost and critical functions for robotic tasks such as localization, mapping and obstacle detection. Supervised approaches have led to great success with the advance of deep learning, but they rely on large quantities of grou…
