While modern visual generation models excel at creating aesthetically pleasing natural images, they struggle with producing or editing structured visuals like charts, diagrams, and mathematical figures, which demand composition planning, text rendering, and multimodal reasoning for factual fidelity.…
Diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in generative modeling, yet how to effectively adapting large pretrained models to new tasks remains challenging. We revisit the reconstruction behavior of diffusion models during denoising to unveil the underlying frequency–energy mechanism governin…
We introduce Genie Envisioner (GE), a unified world foundation platform for robotic manipulation that jointly learns visual representations and action policies within a single video-generative framework. At its core, GE-Base is a large-scale instruction-conditioned video diffusion model that capture…
Multi-Agent System (MAS) powered by Visual Language Models (VLMs) enables challenging tasks but suffers from a novel failure term, multi-agent visual hallucination snowballing, where hallucinations are seeded in a single agent and amplified by following ones due to the over-reliance on textual flow…
Machine learning has been widely applied in industrial intelligent manufacturing. However, significant domain differences in data across factories make it difficult for models trained on a single factory dataset to achieve cross-factory reuse. Unsupervised Domain Adaptation is a method to address th
We introduce EnerVerse, a generative robotics foundation model that constructs and interprets embodied spaces. EnerVerse employs a chunk-wise autoregressive video diffusion framework to predict future embodied spaces from instructions, enhanced by a sparse context memory for long-term reasoning. To…
Recent text-to-image diffusion models achieve impressive visual quality through extensive scaling of training data and model parameters, yet they often struggle with complex scenes and fine-grained details. Inspired by the self-reflection capabilities emergent in large language models, we propose Re…
Preference alignment has emerged as an effective strategy to enhance the performance of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) following supervised fine-tuning. While existing preference alignment methods predominantly target hallucination factors, they overlook the factors essential for multi-mod…
We introduce LLaVA-MoD, a novel framework designed to enable the efficient training of small-scale Multimodal Language Models ($s$-MLLM) distilling knowledge from large-scale MLLM ($l$-MLLM). Our approach tackles two fundamental challenges in MLLM distillation. First, we optimize the network structu…
Mixture-of-Experts large language models (MoE-LLMs) marks a significant step forward of language models, however, they encounter two critical challenges in practice: 1) expert parameters lead to considerable memory consumption and loading latency; and 2) the current activated experts are redundant,…
A major problem of kernel-based methods (e.g., least squares support vector machines, LS-SVMs) for solving linear/nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is the prohibitive $O(an^3)$ ($a=1$ for linear ODEs and 27 for nonlinear ODEs) part of their computational complexity with increasing tem…
Recent advances in vision-language models (VLMs) have enabled instruction-conditioned robotic systems with improved generalization. However, most existing work focuses on reactive System 1 policies, underutilizing VLMs’ strengths in semantic reasoning and long-horizon planning. These System 2 capabi…
Developing agents capable of navigating to a target location based on language instructions and visual information, known as vision-language navigation (VLN), has attracted widespread interest. Most research has focused on ground-based agents, while UAV-based VLN remains relatively underexplored. Re…
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are evolving into language-interactive platforms, enabling more intuitive forms of human-drone interaction. While prior works have primarily focused on high-level planning and long-horizon navigation, we shift attention to language-guided fine-grained trajectory contr…
The advancement of Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) has significantly improved multimodal understanding, yet challenges remain in video reasoning tasks due to the scarcity of high-quality, large-scale datasets. Existing video question-answering (VideoQA) datasets often rely on costly manual anno…
"Existing methods enhance open-vocabulary object detection by leveraging the robust open-vocabulary recognition capabilities of Vision-Language Models (VLMs), such as CLIP. However, two main challenges emerge: (1) A deficiency in concept representation, where the category names in CLIP’s text space…
Open-vocabulary object detection aims to provide object detectors trained on a fixed set of object categories with the generalizability to detect objects described by arbitrary text queries. Previous methods adopt knowledge distillation to extract knowledge from Pretrained Vision-and-Language Models…
Music is essential when editing videos, but selecting music manually is difficult and time-consuming. Thus, we seek to automatically generate background music tracks given video input. This is a challenging task since it requires music-video datasets, efficient architectures for video-to-music gener…
The task of Human-Object Interaction (HOI) detection could be divided into two core problems, i.e., human-object association and interaction understanding. In this paper, we reveal and address the disadvantages of the conventional query-driven HOI detectors from the two aspects. For the association,…
"Conventional knowledge distillation (KD) methods for object detection mainly concentrate on homogeneous teacher-student detectors. However, the design of a lightweight detector for deployment is often significantly different from a high-capacity detector. Thus, we investigate KD among heterogeneous…
Two-stage methods have dominated Human-Object Interaction~(HOI) detection for several years. Recently, one-stage HOI detection methods have become popular. In this paper, we aim to explore the essential pros and cons of two-stage and one-stage methods. With this as the goal, we find that conventiona…
Determining which image regions to concentrate is critical for Human-Object Interaction (HOI) detection. Conventional HOI detectors focus on either detected human and object pairs or pre-defined interaction locations, which limits learning of the effective features. In this paper, we reformulate HOI…
Referring expression comprehension aims to localize the object instance described by a natural language expression. Current referring expression methods have achieved good performance. However, none of them is able to achieve real-time inference without accuracy drop. The reason for the relatively s…
Keypoint-based detectors have achieved pretty-well performance. However, incorrect keypoint matching is still widespread and greatly affects the performance of the detector. In this paper, we propose CentripetalNet which uses centripetal shift to pair corner keypoints from the same instance. Centrip…
Sufficient knowledge extraction from the teacher network plays a critical role in the knowledge distillation task to improve the performance of the student network.
