Since LLMs emerged, more attention has been paid to abstractive long-form summarization, where longer input sequences indicate more information contained. Nevertheless, the automatic evaluation of such summaries remains underexplored. The current evaluation metrics for long-form summarization either…
Unsupervised Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (URLVR) offers a pathway for Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve without human supervision. Particularly, many works use model intrinsic information as rewards for URLVR, showing promising improvements, yet their potential and limitatio…
Long-Form Question Answering (LFQA) involves generating comprehensive, paragraph-level responses to open-ended questions, which poses a significant challenge for evaluation due to the richness of information and flexible response format. Existing LFQA-evaluation benchmarks often lack reference answe…
We present MARTI (Multi-Agent Reinforced Training and Inference), an open-source framework designed to facilitate scalable and efficient learning of multi-agent LLM systems. MARTI supports centralized multi-agent interactions and distributed policy training, with the added capability of multi-turn a…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a powerful paradigm for robotic manipulation. Despite substantial progress enabled by large-scale pretraining and supervised fine-tuning (SFT), these models face two fundamental challenges: (i) the scarcity and high cost of large-scale robotic traj…
We introduce WorldGen, a method for generating large, fully formed, navigable 3D worlds from a single text prompt. Existing approaches to 3D scene generation often trade off scene diversity, completeness, and correctness in different ways. We push this envelope by producing large scenes explicitly d
We present a novel approach to mesh shape editing, building on recent progress in 3D reconstruction from multi-view images. We formulate shape editing as a conditional reconstruction problem, where the model must reconstruct the input shape with the exception of a specified 3D region, in which the g…
Extending the context length of Language Models (LMs) by improving Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) has become a trend. While prior works mainly address RoPE's limitations within attention, this paper uncovers the adverse effects on length generalization from nearly all parts of LMs. Using *Discrete…
Recent sparse multi-view scene reconstruction advances like DUSt3R and MASt3R no longer require camera calibration and camera pose estimation. However, they only process a pair of views at a time to infer pixel-aligned pointmaps. When dealing with more than two views, a combinatorial number of error…
Alignment, endowing a pre-trained Large language model (LLM) with the ability to follow instructions, is crucial for its real-world applications. Conventional supervised fine-tuning (SFT) methods formalize it as causal language modeling typically with a cross-entropy objective, requiring a large am…
Modern Large Language Models (LLMs) have showcased remarkable prowess in various tasks necessitating sophisticated cognitive behaviors. Nevertheless, a paradoxical performance discrepancy is observed, where these models underperform in seemingly elementary tasks like relation extraction and event ex…
"This paper presents a neural architecture for 3D object reconstruction that synthesizes dense and high-resolution views of an object given one or a few images without camera poses. achieves superior flexibility and scalability with two surprisingly simple ideas: 1) A “pose-free architecture” where…
"While recent years have witnessed great progress on using diffusion models for video generation, most of them are simple extensions of image generation frameworks, which fail to explicitly consider one of the key differences between videos and images, , motion. In this paper, we propose a novel mot…
3D reconstruction from a single-view is challenging because of the ambiguity from monocular cues and lack of information about occluded regions. Neural radiance fields (NeRF) while popular for view synthesis and 3D reconstruction are typically reliant on multi-view images. Existing methods for singl…
Providing knowledge documents for large language models (LLMs) has emerged as a promising solution to update the static knowledge inherent in their parameters. However, knowledge in the document may conflict with the memory of LLMs due to outdated or incorrect knowledge in the LLMs’ parameters. This…
"While style transfer techniques have been well-developed for 2D image stylization, the extension of these methods to 3D scenes remains relatively unexplored. Existing approaches demonstrate proficiency in transferring colors and textures but often struggle with replicating the geometry of the scene…
The aim of this paper is to propose a mechanism to efficiently and explicitly model image hierarchies in the global, regional, and local range for image restoration. To achieve that, we start by analyzing two important properties of natural images including cross-scale similarity and anisotropic ima…
Video restoration aims at restoring multiple high-quality frames from multiple low-quality frames. Existing video restoration methods generally fall into two extreme cases, i.e., they either restore all frames in parallel or restore the video frame by frame in a recurrent way, which would result in…
Both non-local (NL) operation and sparse representation are crucial for Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR). In this paper, we investigate their combinations and propose a novel Non-Local Sparse Attention (NLSA) with dynamic sparse attention pattern. NLSA is designed to retain long-range modeling c…
Deep convolution-based single image super-resolution (SISR) networks embrace the benefits of learning from large-scale external image resources for local recovery, yet most existing works have ignored the long-range feature-wise similarities in natural images. Some recent works have successfully lev…
Inspired by the robustness and efficiency of sparse representation in sparse coding based image restoration models, we investigate the sparsity of neurons in deep networks. Our method structurally enforces sparsity constraints upon hidden neurons. The sparsity constraints are favorable for gradient-…
In this paper we present a new computer vision task, named video instance segmentation. The goal of this new task is simultaneous detection, segmentation and tracking of instances in videos. In words, it is the first time that the image instance segmentation problem is extended to the video domain.…
Many classic methods have shown non-local self-similarity in natural images to be an effective prior for image restoration. However, it remains unclear and challenging to make use of this intrinsic property via deep networks. In this paper, we propose a non-local recurrent network (NLRN) as the firs…
Learning long-term spatial-temporal features are critical for many video analysis tasks. However, existing video segmentation methods predominantly rely on static image segmentation techniques, and methods capturing temporal dependency for segmentation have to depend on pretrained optical flow model…
Video super-resolution (SR) aims to generate a high-resolution (HR) frame from multiple low-resolution (LR) frames. The inter-frame temporal relation is as crucial as the intra-frame spatial relation for tackling this problem. However, how to utilize temporal information efficiently and effectively…
We have successfully proposed to use multi-speaker modelling in DNN-based TTS synthesis for improved voice quality with limited available data from a speaker. In this paper, we propose a new speaker and language factorized DNN, where speaker-specific layers are used for multi-speaker modelling, and…
Multi-speaker TTS trained with a general DNN has outperformed individually modelled baseline [1]. Multi-speaker DNN takes advantages of larger amount of training data from multiple speakers to find robust transformations in the hidden layers and covers more speaker variability in the output regressi…
In DNN-based TTS synthesis, DNNs hidden layers can be viewed as deep transformation for linguistic features and the output layers as representation of acoustic space to regress the transformed linguistic features to acoustic parameters. The deep-layered architectures of DNN can not only represent hi…
