GenAlign: Towards Unified Alignment Framework of MLLMs via Generative Reward Model

ICML 2026poster

Aligning Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) with human preferences remains a fundamental challenge. While Generative Reward Models (GRMs) offer a promising reasoning-based alternative to scalar models, they are often hindered by severe position bias and prohibitively high computational overhea…

Segment Anything Model Meets Image Harmonization

ICASSP 2024accepted

Image harmonization is a crucial technique in image composition that aims to seamlessly match the background by adjusting the foreground of composite images. Current methods adopt either global-level or pixel-level feature matching. Global-level feature matching ignores the proximity prior, treating…

Mobile User Interface Element Detection via Adaptively Prompt Tuning

CVPR 2023poster

Recent object detection approaches rely on pretrained vision-language models for image-text alignment. However, they fail to detect the Mobile User Interface (MUI) element since it contains additional OCR information, which describes its content and function but is often ignored. In this paper, we d…
