Language Does Matter for Cross-Domain Few-Shot Visual Feature Enhancement

CVPR 2026

Cross-domain few-shot image interpretation (CD-FSII) has been significantly advanced by fine-tuning pre-trained visual feature models using limited labeled samples in target domains. However, profound cross-domain distribution discrepancies, along with inherent conflicts between extensive object vis

Demystifying Small Language Models for Edge Deployment

ACL 2025long

Small language models (SLMs) have emerged as a promising solution for deploying resource-constrained devices, such as smartphones and Web of Things. This work presents the first comprehensive study of over 60 SLMs such as Microsoft Phi and Google Gemma that are publicly accessible. Our findings show…

Diving into Self-Evolving Training for Multimodal Reasoning

ICML 2025poster

Self-evolving training—where models iteratively learn from their own outputs—has emerged as a key approach for complex reasoning tasks, addressing the scarcity of high-quality chain-of-thought data. However, its effectiveness in multimodal reasoning, a domain more intricate than text-only reasoning,…

On the Perception Bottleneck of VLMs for Chart Understanding

EMNLP 2025

Chart understanding requires models to effectively analyze and reason about numerical data, textual elements, and complex visual components. Our observations reveal that the perception capabilities of existing large vision-language models (LVLMs) constitute a critical bottleneck in this process. In

DART-Math: Difficulty-Aware Rejection Tuning for Mathematical Problem-Solving

NeurIPS 2024poster

Solving mathematical problems requires advanced reasoning abilities and presents notable challenges for large language models. Previous works usually synthesize data from proprietary models to augment existing datasets, followed by instruction tuning to achieve top-tier results. However, our analysi…

InstaFlow: One Step is Enough for High-Quality Diffusion-Based Text-to-Image Generation

ICLR 2024poster

Diffusion models have revolutionized text-to-image generation with its exceptional quality and creativity. However, its multi-step sampling process is known to be slow, often requiring tens of inference steps to obtain satisfactory results. Previous attempts to improve its sampling speed and reduce…
