Is Your World Simulator a Good Story Presenter? A Consecutive Events-Based Benchmark for Future Long Video Generation

CVPR 2025poster

The current state-of-the-art video generative models can produce commercial-grade videos with highly realistic details. However, they still struggle to coherently present multiple sequential events in specific short stories, which is foreseeable an essential capability for future long video generati…

MMWorld: Towards Multi-discipline Multi-faceted World Model Evaluation in Videos

ICLR 2025poster

Multimodal Language Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate the emerging abilities of "world models"---interpreting and reasoning about complex real-world dynamics. To assess these abilities, we posit videos are the ideal medium, as they encapsulate rich representations of real-world dynamics and causal…

Reinforcement Learning for Reasoning in Large Language Models with One Training Example

NeurIPS 2025poster

We show that reinforcement learning with verifiable reward using one training example (1-shot RLVR) is effective in incentivizing the math reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Applying RLVR to the base model Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B, we identify a single example that elevates model perfo…

Soft Thinking: Unlocking the Reasoning Potential of LLMs in Continuous Concept Space

NeurIPS 2025poster

Human cognition typically involves thinking through abstract, fluid concepts rather than strictly using discrete linguistic tokens. Current Large Language Models (LLMs), however, are constrained to reasoning within the boundaries of human language, processing discrete token embeddings that represent…

VLM4D: Towards Spatiotemporal Awareness in Vision Language Models

ICCV 2025poster

Vision language models (VLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in integrating linguistic and visual reasoning but remain fundamentally limited in understanding dynamic spatiotemporal interactions. Humans effortlessly track and reason about object movements, rotations, and perspective shifts--abili…

Worse than Random? An Embarrassingly Simple Probing Evaluation of Large Multimodal Models in Medical VQA

ACL 2025finding

Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have demonstrated impressive performance on existing medical Visual Question Answering (Med-VQA) benchmarks. However, high reported accuracy does not necessarily reflect their true diagnostic reliability in clinical settings. This study reveals that state-of-the-art mo…

ComCLIP: Training-Free Compositional Image and Text Matching

NAACL 2024long

Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) has demonstrated great zero-shot performance for matching images and text. However, it is still challenging to adapt vision-language pretrained models like CLIP to compositional image and text matching — a more challenging image and text matching task re…

Mastering Robot Manipulation with Multimodal Prompts through Pretraining and Multi-task Fine-tuning

ICML 2024poster

Prompt-based learning has been demonstrated as a compelling paradigm contributing to large language models' tremendous success (LLMs). Inspired by their success in language tasks, existing research has leveraged LLMs in embodied instruction following and task planning. In this work, we tackle the pr…

LayoutGPT: Compositional Visual Planning and Generation with Large Language Models

NeurIPS 2023poster

Attaining a high degree of user controllability in visual generation often requires intricate, fine-grained inputs like layouts. However, such inputs impose a substantial burden on users when compared to simple text inputs. To address the issue, we study how Large Language Models (LLMs) can serve as…

Parameter-Efficient Model Adaptation for Vision Transformers

AAAI 2023technical

In computer vision, it has achieved great transfer learning performance via adapting large-scale pretrained vision models (e.g., vision transformers) to downstream tasks. Common approaches for model adaptation either update all model parameters or leverage linear probes. In this paper, we aim to stu…

Training-Free Structured Diffusion Guidance for Compositional Text-to-Image Synthesis

ICLR 2023poster

Large-scale diffusion models have achieved state-of-the-art results on text-to-image synthesis (T2I) tasks. Despite their ability to generate high-quality yet creative images, we observe that attribution-binding and compositional capabilities are still considered major challenging issues, especially…

CPL: Counterfactual Prompt Learning for Vision and Language Models

EMNLP 2022main

Prompt tuning is a new few-shot transfer learning technique that only tunes the learnable prompt for pre-trained vision and language models such as CLIP. However, existing prompt tuning methods tend to learn spurious or entangled representations, which leads to poor generalization to unseen concepts…
