Long Grounded Thoughts: Synthesizing Grounded Visual Problems and Distilling Reasoning Chains at Scale

ICML 2026poster

Despite rapid progress, multimodal reasoning still lacks a systematic approach to synthesize large-scale vision-centric datasets beyond visual math. We introduce a framework able to synthesize vision-centric problems spanning diverse levels of complexity, and the resulting dataset with over 1M high-…

Pointing at Parts: Training-Free Few-Shot Grounding in Multimodal LLMs

CVPR 2026

Part-level pointing is important for fine-grained interaction and reasoning, yet existing Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) remain limited to instance-level pointing. Part-level pointing presents unique challenges: annotation is costly, parts are long-tail distributed, and many are difficult

Can Large Vision-Language Models Correct Semantic Grounding Errors By Themselves?

CVPR 2025poster

Improving semantic grounding in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) often involves collecting domain-specific training data, refining the network architectures, or modifying the training recipes. In this work, we venture into an orthogonal direction and explore self-correction in VLMs focusing on semantic…

Reasoning Paths with Reference Objects Elicit Quantitative Spatial Reasoning in Large Vision-Language Models

EMNLP 2024main

Despite recent advances demonstrating vision- language models’ (VLMs) abilities to describe complex relationships among objects in images using natural language, their capability to quantitatively reason about object sizes and distances remains underexplored. In this work, we introduce a manually an…

Transferring Labels to Solve Annotation Mismatches Across Object Detection Datasets

ICLR 2024poster

In object detection, varying annotation protocols across datasets can result in annotation mismatches, leading to inconsistent class labels and bounding regions. Addressing these mismatches typically involves manually identifying common trends and fixing the corresponding bounding boxes and class la…

Emergent Road Rules In Multi-Agent Driving Environments

ICLR 2021poster

For autonomous vehicles to safely share the road with human drivers, autonomous vehicles must abide by specific "road rules" that human drivers have agreed to follow. "Road rules" include rules that drivers are required to follow by law – such as the requirement that vehicles stop at red lights – as…

Towards Good Practices for Efficiently Annotating Large-Scale Image Classification Datasets

CVPR 2021poster

Data is the engine of modern computer vision, which necessitates collecting large-scale datasets. This is expensive, and guaranteeing the quality of the labels is a major challenge. In this paper, we investigate efficient annotation strategies for collecting multi-class classification labels for a l…

Watch-And-Help: A Challenge for Social Perception and Human-AI Collaboration

ICLR 2021spotlight

In this paper, we introduce Watch-And-Help (WAH), a challenge for testing social intelligence in agents. In WAH, an AI agent needs to help a human-like agent perform a complex household task efficiently. To succeed, the AI agent needs to i) understand the underlying goal of the task by watching a si…

Synthesizing Environment-Aware Activities via Activity Sketches

CVPR 2019poster

In order to learn to perform activities from demonstrations or descriptions, agents need to distill what the essence of the given activity is, and how it can be adapted to new environments. In this work, we address the problem: environment-aware program generation. Given a visual demonstration or a…

Multi-view to Novel view: Synthesizing novel views with Self-Learned Confidence

ECCV 2018poster

In this paper, we address the task of multi-view novel view synthesis, where we are interested in synthesizing a target image with an arbitrary camera pose from given source images. We propose an end-to-end trainable framework that learns to exploit multiple viewpoints to synthesize a novel view wit…

Show, Adapt and Tell: Adversarial Training of Cross-Domain Image Captioner

ICCV 2017poster

Impressive image captioning results are achieved in domains with plenty of training image and sentence pairs (e.g., MSCOCO). However, transferring to a target domain with significant domain shifts but no paired training data (referred to as cross-domain image captioning) remains largely unexplored.…
