When video reasoning requires external knowledge, many systems with large multimodal models (LMMs) adopt retrieval augmentation to supply the missing context. Appending textual or multi-clip evidence, however, forces heterogeneous signals into a single attention space. We observe diluted attention a
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress, yet the object hallucination remains a critical challenge for reliable deployment. In this paper, we present an in-depth analysis of instruction token embeddings and reveal that they implicitly encode visual information whil…
Video reasoning has advanced with large multimodal models (LMMs), yet their inference is often a single pass that returns an answer without verifying whether the reasoning is evidence-aligned. We introduce **Reinforce to Learn, Elect to Reason (RLER)**, a dual paradigm that decouples learning to pro
To tackle complex tasks in real-world scenarios, more researchers are focusing on Omni-MLLMs, which aim to achieve omni-modal understanding and generation. Beyond the constraints of any specific non-linguistic modality, Omni-MLLMs map various non-linguistic modalities into the embedding space of LLM…
Entity alignment (EA), critical for knowledge graph (KG) integration, identifies equivalent entities across different KGs. Traditional methods often face challenges in semantic understanding and scalability. The rise of language models (LMs), particularly large language models (LLMs), has provided p
Talking head synthesis with arbitrary speech audio is a crucial challenge in the field of digital humans. Recently, methods based on radiance fields have received increasing attention due to their ability to synthesize high-fidelity and identity-consistent talking heads from just a few minutes of tr…
Pose-controlled human video generation is of significant interest and finds extensive applications in areas such as automated advertising and content creation on social media platforms. While existing methods employing pose sequences and reference images for human image animation have exhibited nota…
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have shown exceptional performance in multimodal tasks, but their effectiveness in complex visual reasoning is still constrained, especially when employing Chain-of-Thought prompting techniques. In this paper, we propose VReST, a novel training-free approach that…
Retrieval-augmented generation integrates the capabilities of large language models with relevant information retrieved from an extensive corpus, yet encounters challenges when confronted with real-world noisy data. One recent solution is to train a filter module to find relevant content but only ac…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong reasoning capabilities.Nevertheless, they still suffer from factual errors when tackling knowledge-intensive tasks.Retrieval-augmented reasoning represents a promising approach.However, significant challenges still persist, including inaccurate a…
Despite the impressive performance on information-seeking tasks, large language models (LLMs) still struggle with hallucinations. Attributed LLMs, which augment generated text with in-line citations, demonstrate potential in mitigating hallucinations and improving verifiability. However, current app…
Reasoning, a fundamental cognitive process integral to human intelligence, has garnered substantial interest within artificial intelligence.Notably, recent studies have revealed that chain-of-thought prompting significantly enhances LLM’s reasoning capabilities, which attracts widespread attention f…
Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) aims to identify a mix of known and novel categories within unlabeled data sets providing a more realistic setting for image recognition. Essentially GCD needs to remember existing patterns thoroughly to recognize novel categories. Recent state-of-the-art method…
Grasping the concept of time is a fundamental facet of human cognition, indispensable for truly comprehending the intricacies of the world.Previous studies typically focus on specific aspects of time, lacking a comprehensive temporal reasoning benchmark.To address this, we propose TimeBench, a compr…
Driving 3D characters to dance following a piece of music is highly challenging due to the spatial constraints applied to poses by choreography norms. In addition, the generated dance sequence also needs to maintain temporal coherency with different music genres. To tackle these challenges, we propo…
In the animation industry, cartoon videos are usually produced at low frame rate since hand drawing of such frames is costly and time-consuming. Therefore, it is desirable to develop computational models that can automatically interpolate the in-between animation frames. However, existing video inte…
The recent algorithms for math word problems (MWP) neglect to use outside knowledge not present in the problems. Most of them only capture the word-level relationship and ignore to build hierarchical reasoning like the human being for mining the contextual structure between words and sentences. In t…
Recent advances in the video question answering (i.e., VideoQA) task have achieved strong success by following the paradigm of fine-tuning each clip-text pair independently on the pretrained transformer-based model via supervised learning. Intuitively, multiple samples (i.e., clips) should be interd…
Visual commonsense reasoning task aims at leading the research field into solving cognition-level reasoning with the ability to predict correct answers and meanwhile providing convincing reasoning paths, resulting in three sub-tasks i.e., Q->A, QA->R and Q->AR. It poses great challenges over the pro…
Detecting dense landmarks for diverse clothes, as a fundamental technique for clothes analysis, has attracted increasing research attention due to its huge application potential. However, due to the lack of modeling underlying semantic layout constraints among landmarks, prior works often detect amb…
