CARE: Covariance-Aware and Rank-Enhanced Decomposition for Enabling Multi-Head Latent Attention

ICLR 2026poster

Converting pretrained attention modules such as *grouped-query attention* (GQA) into *multi-head latent attention* (MLA) can improve expressivity without increasing KV-cache cost, making it attractive for efficient inference. However, existing conversion methods typically apply naïve singular value…

Dissecting Embodied Abilities in Multimodal Language Models through Skill-level Evaluation and Diagnosis

ICML 2026poster

Understanding the capability bottlenecks of embodied multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is crucial for improvement. However, existing embodied benchmarks fail to provide actionable insights because they focus on task-level evaluation rather than discovering capability bottlenecks. To address t…

Generalizable Hierarchical Skill Learning via Object-Centric Representation

RA-L 2026

We present Generalizable Hierarchical Skill Learning (GSL), a novel framework for hierarchical policy learning that improves policy generalization and sample efficiency in robot manipulation. One core idea of GSL is to use object-centric skills as an interface that bridges the high-level vision-lang

SimpleGVR: A Simple Baseline for Latent-Cascaded Generative Video Super-Resolution

ICLR 2026poster

Cascaded pipelines, which use a base text-to-video (T2V) model for low-resolution content and a video super-resolution (VSR) model for high-resolution details, are a prevailing strategy for efficient video synthesis. However, current works suffer from two key limitations: an inefficient pixel-space…

DiffVSR: Revealing an Effective Recipe for Taming Robust Video Super-Resolution Against Complex Degradations

ICCV 2025poster

Diffusion models have demonstrated exceptional capabilities in image restoration, yet their application to video super-resolution (VSR) faces significant challenges in balancing fidelity with temporal consistency. Our evaluation reveals a critical gap: existing approaches consistently fail on severe…

MAGE: Multimodal Alignment and Generation Enhancement via Bridging Visual and Semantic Spaces

IJCAI 2025

In the latest advancements in multimodal learning, effectively addressing the spatial and semantic losses of visual data after encoding remains a critical challenge. This is because the performance of large multimodal models is positively correlated with the coupling between visual encoders and larg

TurboFill: Adapting Few-step Text-to-image Model for Fast Image Inpainting

CVPR 2025poster

This paper introduces TurboFill, a fast image inpainting model that enhances a few-step text-to-image diffusion model with an inpainting adapter for high-quality and efficient inpainting. While standard diffusion models generate high-quality results, they incur high computational costs. We overcome…

DiffBIR: Toward Blind Image Restoration with Generative Diffusion Prior

ECCV 2024poster

"We present DiffBIR, a general restoration pipeline that could handle different blind image restoration tasks in a unified framework. DiffBIR decouples blind image restoration problem into two stages: 1) degradation removal: removing image-independent content; 2) information regeneration: generating…
