Beyond Layer-Wise Merging: Chain-of-Merging for Vision-Language Models

CVPR 2026

While model merging has demonstrated remarkable success for large language models (LLMs), its application to vision-language models (VLMs) remains largely underexplored. Recent methods attempt to enhance VLM reasoning capabilities by integrating specialized LLM parameters through layer-wise merging.

An Experimental Study on Joint Modeling for Sound Event Localization and Detection with Source Distance Estimation

ICASSP 2025accepted

In traditional sound event localization and detection (SELD) tasks, the focus is typically on sound event detection (SED) and direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation, but they fall short of providing full spatial information about the sound source. The 3D SELD task addresses this limitation by integra…

CoFFT: Chain of Foresight-Focus Thought for Visual Language Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Despite significant advances in Vision Language Models (VLMs), they remain constrained by the complexity and redundancy of visual input. When images contain large amounts of irrelevant information, VLMs are susceptible to interference, thus generating excessive task-irrelevant reasoning processes or…

PhysReason: A Comprehensive Benchmark towards Physics-Based Reasoning

ACL 2025long

Large language models demonstrate remarkable capabilities across various domains, especially mathematics and logic reasoning. However, current evaluations overlook physics-based reasoning - a complex task requiring physics theorems and constraints. We present PhysReason, a 1,200-problem benchmark co…

SNaRe: Domain-aware Data Generation for Low-Resource Event Detection

EMNLP 2025

Event Detection (ED) – the task of identifying event mentions from natural language text – is critical for enabling reasoning in highly specialized domains such as biomedicine, law, and epidemiology. Data generation has proven to be effective in broadening its utility to wider applications without r

Event Detection from Social Media for Epidemic Prediction

NAACL 2024long

Social media is an easy-to-access platform providing timely updates about societal trends and events. Discussions regarding epidemic-related events such as infections, symptoms, and social interactions can be crucial for informing policymaking during epidemic outbreaks. In our work, we pioneer explo…
