From Perception to Planning: Evolving Ego-Centric Task-Oriented Spatiotemporal Reasoning via Curriculum Learning

ICML 2026poster

Modern vision-language models achieve strong performance in static perception, but remain limited in the complex spatiotemporal reasoning required for embodied, egocentric tasks. A major source of failure is their reliance on temporal priors learned from passive video data, which often leads to spat…

One-to-All Animation: Alignment-Free Character Animation and Image Pose Transfer

CVPR 2026

Recent advances in diffusion models have greatly improved pose-driven character animation. However, existing methods are limited to spatially aligned reference-pose pairs with matched skeletal structures. Handling reference-pose misalignment remains unsolved. To address this, we present One-to-All A

SpatialLogic-Bench: A Diagnostic Benchmark for Task-Oriented Spatiotemporal Reasoning

AAAI 2026technical

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have made significant progress in static perception, but their ability to understand dynamic task-oriented reasoning remains unclear. Existing benchmarks mainly focus on static spatial relationships and lack systematic assessment of dynamic reasoning capabilities. To th

SpatialReward: Verifiable Spatial Reward Modeling for Fine-Grained Spatial Consistency in Text-to-Image Generation

CVPR 2026

Recent advances in text-to-image (T2I) generation via reinforcement learning (RL) have benefited from reward models that assess semantic alignment and visual quality. However, most existing reward models pay limited attention to fine-grained spatial relationships, often producing images that appear

TMD-Bench: A Multi-Level Evaluation Paradigm for Music–Dance Co-Generation

ICML 2026poster

Unified audio--visual generation is rapidly gaining industrial and creative relevance, enabling applications in virtual production and interactive media. However, when moving from general audio--video synthesis to music–dance co-generation, the task becomes substantially harder: musical rhythm, phra…

Towards Efficient and Robust Manipulation via Multi-Frame Vision-Language-Action Modeling

AAAI 2026technical

Recent vision-language-action (VLA) models built on pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) have demonstrated strong performance in robotic manipulation. However, these models remain constrained by the single-frame image paradigm and fail to fully leverage the temporal information offered by multi-

BrainLoc: Brain Signal-Based Object Detection with Multi-modal Alignment

EMNLP 2025

Object detection is a core challenge in computer vision. Traditional methods primarily rely on intermediate modalities such as text, speech, or visual cues to interpret user intent, leading to inefficient and potentially distorted expressions of intent. Brain signals, particularly fMRI signals, emer

CART: A Generative Cross-Modal Retrieval Framework With Coarse-To-Fine Semantic Modeling

ACL 2025long

Cross-modal retrieval aims to search for instances, which are semantically related to the query through the interaction of different modal data. Traditional solutions utilize a single-tower or dual-tower framework to explicitly compute the score between queries and candidates, which is challenged by…

Diff-Prompt: Diffusion-Driven Prompt Generator with Mask Supervision

ICLR 2025poster

Prompt learning has demonstrated promising results in fine-tuning pre-trained multimodal models. However, the performance improvement is limited when applied to more complex and fine-grained tasks. The reason is that most existing methods directly optimize the parameters involved in the prompt gener…

Rhythm Controllable and Efficient Zero-Shot Voice Conversion via Shortcut Flow Matching

ACL 2025long

Zero-Shot Voice Conversion (VC) aims to transform the source speaker’s timbre into an arbitrary unseen one while retaining speech content. Most prior work focuses on preserving the source’s prosody, while fine-grained timbre information may leak through prosody, and transferring target prosody to sy…
