Do Vision and Text Cues Exhibit Evidential Coupling? UFO: A Benchmark for Compositional Multimodal Reasoning in Unified Models

ICML 2026poster

Unified Foundation Models (UFMs), which support interleaved multimodal generation and understanding, have been proposed as a promising paradigm for reasoning about dynamic world states, yet it remains unclear whether the visual content they generate functions as grounded evidence for subsequent reas…

SVAgent: Storyline-guided Long Video Understanding via Cross-Modal Multi-Agent Collaboration

CVPR 2026

Video question answering (VideoQA) is a challenging task that requires integrating spatial, temporal, and semantic information to capture the complex dynamics of video sequences. Although recent advances have introduced various approaches for video understanding, most existing methods still rely on

Evaluating Text Generation Quality Using Spectral Distances of Surprisal

EMNLP 2025

We propose a novel automatic evaluation metric for open-ended text generation, which is a substantial improvement of the recently developed method, Fourier analysis of cross-entropy (FACE), hence, FACE-2. FACE-2 is a psycholinguistically inspired metric that extracts the dynamic patterns (spectrum)

MERMAID: Multi-perspective Self-reflective Agents with Generative Augmentation for Emotion Recognition

EMNLP 2025

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated strong performance across diverse multimodal tasks, achieving promising outcomes. However, their application to emotion recognition in natural images remains underexplored. MLLMs struggle to handle ambiguous emotional expressions and implici

FACE: Evaluating Natural Language Generation with Fourier Analysis of Cross-Entropy

NeurIPS 2023poster

Measuring the distance between machine-produced and human language is a critical open problem. Inspired by empirical findings from psycholinguistics on the periodicity of entropy in language, we propose FACE, a set of metrics based on Fourier Analysis of the estimated Cross-Entropy of language, for…
