Traceable Evidence Enhanced Visual Grounded Reasoning: Evaluation and Method

ICLR 2026poster

Models like OpenAI-o3 pioneer visual grounded reasoning by dynamically ref- erencing visual regions, just like human “thinking with images”. However, no benchmark exists to evaluate these capabilities holistically. To bridge this gap, we propose TreeBench (Traceable Evidence Evaluation Benchmark), a…

Scalable Vision Language Model Training via High Quality Data Curation

ACL 2025long

In this paper, we introduce SAIL-VL ( ScAlable Vision Language Model TraIning via High QuaLity Data Curation), an open-source vision language model (VLM) series achieving state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in 2B and 8B parameters. The following three key improvements contribute to SAIL-VL’s leading…

Toward Accurate Camera-based 3D Object Detection via Cascade Depth Estimation and Calibration

ICRA 2024poster

Recent camera-based 3D object detection is limited by the precision of transforming from image to 3D feature spaces, as well as the accuracy of object localization within the 3D space. This paper aims to address such a fundamental problem of camera-based 3D object detection: How to effectively learn…

SupFusion: Supervised LiDAR-Camera Fusion for 3D Object Detection

ICCV 2023poster

LiDAR-Camera fusion-based 3D detection is a critical task for automatic driving. In recent years, many LiDAR-Camera fusion approaches sprung up and gained promising performances compared with single-modal detectors, but always lack carefully designed and effective supervision for the fusion process.…

LGD: Label-Guided Self-Distillation for Object Detection

AAAI 2022technical

In this paper, we propose the first self-distillation framework for general object detection, termed LGD (Label-Guided self-Distillation). Previous studies rely on a strong pretrained teacher to provide instructive knowledge that could be unavailable in real-world scenarios. Instead, we generate an…

Instance-Conditional Knowledge Distillation for Object Detection

NeurIPS 2021poster

Knowledge distillation has shown great success in classification, however, it is still challenging for detection. In a typical image for detection, representations from different locations may have different contributions to detection targets, making the distillation hard to balance. In this paper,…
