In large-scale industrial documents with scanned images, complex layouts, and multiple pages, the effectiveness of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is highly dependent on chunking quality. However, existing text-centric chunkers overlook the visual and structural cues present in real-world documents, leading to redundant or ambiguous chunks that impair retrieval and answer accuracy. To address this problem, we propose \ours which integrates (i) SharedDet for normalizing document parsing and OCR outputs into a document-level frame, (ii) Multi-modal block embeddings with boundary-aware SoftROI, (iii) global document-tree reconstruction via biaffine scoring, and (iv) structure-aware dependency chunking that preserves boundaries and reduces redundancy. \ours achieves consistent gains across both Document Hierarchical Parsing (DHP) and corpus-level RAG evaluations, improving STEDS by +28.5--39.6%, retrieval nDCG by +1.1--15.3%, and QA ANLS by +4.5--15.3%. These results demonstrate that modeling document-level dependencies with Multi-modal, structure-aware chunking improves RAG performance on long, multi-page industrial documents.

Reconstructing dynamic visual experiences from brain activity provides a compelling avenue for exploring the neural mechanisms of human visual perception. While recent progress in fMRI-based image reconstruction has been notable, extending this success to video reconstruction remains a significant challenge. Current fMRI-to-video reconstruction approaches consistently encounter two major shortcomings: (i) inconsistent visual representations of salient objects across frames, leading to appearance mismatches; (ii) poor temporal coherence, resulting in motion misalignment or abrupt frame transitions.To address these limitations, we introduce SemVideo, a novel fMRI-to-video reconstruction framework guided by hierarchical semantic information. At the core of SemVideo is SemMiner, a hierarchical guidance module that constructs three levels of semantic cues from the original video stimulus: static anchor descriptions, motion-oriented narratives, and holistic summaries. Leveraging this semantic guidance, SemVideo comprises three key components: a Semantic Alignment Decoder that aligns fMRI signals with CLIP-style embeddings derived from SemMiner, a Motion Adaptation Decoder that reconstructs dynamic motion patterns using a novel tripartite attention fusion architecture, and a Conditional Video Render that leverages hierarchical semantic guidance for video reconstruction. Experiments conducted on the CC2017 and HCP datasets demonstrate that SemVideo achieves superior performance in both semantic alignment and temporal consistency, setting a new state-of-the-art in fMRI-to-video reconstruction.

Recent advances in point cloud In-Context Learning (ICL) have demonstrated strong multitask capabilities. Existing approaches typically adopt a Masked Point Modeling (MPM)-based paradigm for point cloud ICL. However, MPM-based methods directly predict the target point cloud from masked tokens without leveraging geometric priors, requiring the model to infer spatial structure and geometric details solely from token-level correlations via transformers. Additionally, these methods suffer from a training-inference objective mismatch, as the model learns to predict the target point cloud using target-side information that is unavailable at inference time. To address these challenges, we propose DeformPIC, a deformation-based framework for point cloud ICL. Unlike existing approaches that rely on masked reconstruction, DeformPIC learns to deform the query point cloud under task-specific guidance from prompts, enabling explicit geometric reasoning and consistent objectives. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DeformPIC consistently outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods, achieving reductions of 1.6, 1.8, and 4.7 points in average Chamfer Distance on reconstruction, denoising, and registration tasks, respectively. Furthermore, we introduce a new out-of-domain benchmark to evaluate generalization across unseen data distributions, where DeformPIC achieves state-of-the-art performance.

While spatial transcriptomics (ST) has advanced our understanding of gene expression in tissue context, its high experimental cost limits its large-scale application. Predicting ST from pathology images is a promising, cost-effective alternative, but existing methods struggle to capture complex cross-slide spatial relationships. To address the challenge, we propose SpaHGC, a multi-modal heterogeneous graph-based model that captures both intra-slice and inter-slice spot-spot relationships from histology images. It integrates local spatial context within the target slide and cross-slide similarities computed from image embeddings extracted by a pathology foundation model. These embeddings enable inter-slice knowledge transfer, and SpaHGC further incorporates Masked Graph Contrastive Learning to enhance feature representation and transfer spatial gene expression knowledge from reference to target slides, enabling it to model complex spatial dependencies and significantly improve prediction accuracy.We conducted comprehensive benchmarking on seven matched histology-ST datasets from different platforms, tissues, and cancer subtypes. The results demonstrate that SpaHGC significantly outperforms the existing nine state-of-the-art methods across all evaluation metrics. Additionally, the predictions are significantly enriched in multiple cancer-related pathways, thereby highlighting its strong biological relevance and application potential. Code and data are available at https://github.com/wenwenmin/SpaHGC.

Edge-based representations are fundamental cues for visual understanding, a principle rooted in early vision research and still central today. We extend this principle to vision-language alignment, showing that isolating and aligning structural cues across modalities can greatly benefit fine-tuning on long, detail-rich captions, with a specific focus on improving cross modal retrieval. We introduce StructXLIP, a fine-tuning alignment paradigm that extracts edge maps (e.g., Canny), treating them as proxies for the visual structure of an image, and filters the corresponding captions to emphasize structural cues, making them "structure-centric". Fine-tuning augments the standard alignment loss with three structure-centric losses: (i) aligning edge maps with structural text, (ii) matching local edge regions to textual chunks, and (iii) connecting edge maps to color images to prevent representation drift. From a theoretical standpoint, while standard CLIP maximizes the mutual information between visual and textual embeddings, StructXLIP additionally maximizes the mutual information between multimodal structural representations. This auxiliary optimization is intrinsically harder, guiding the model toward more robust and semantically stable minima, enhancing vision-language alignment. Beyond outperforming current competitors on cross-modal retrieval on both general and specialized domains, our method serves as a general boosting recipe that can be integrated into future approaches in a plug-and-play manner. Code and pretrained models are available at: https://github.com/intelligolabs/StructXLIP.

Video diffusion models achieve impressive visual fidelity but remain computationally prohibitive for real-time or interactive generation due to their sequential denoising process. Recent caching methods accelerate inference by reusing outputs across timesteps, typically estimating each new output from the first-order residual, which is the difference between adjacent model predictions.To mitigate the accumulated error in caching methods, we propose D2Cache, a training-free method that leverages the smoothness of second-order residual delta, which is temporal differences between consecutive first-order residuals, to predict future timesteps more accurately. We theoretically show that this second-order correction improves prediction accuracy and effectively suppresses cumulative errors. Moreover, D2Cache adaptively scales second-order deltas using error estimates derived from timestep embeddings, maintaining accuracy across varying cache intervals.Empirically, D2Cache outperforms the state-of-the-art TeaCache across four video diffusion models (Latte, Open-Sora, LTX-video, and Wan2.1) at comparable acceleration rates, showing even larger gains under higher acceleration settings.

Recent advances in multimodal models have demonstrated remarkable text-guided image editing capabilities, with systems like GPT-4o and Nano-Banana setting new benchmarks. However, the research community's progress remains constrained by the absence of large-scale, high-quality, and openly accessible datasets built from real images. We introduce Pico-Banana-400K, a comprehensive 400K-image dataset for instruction-based image editing. Our dataset is constructed by leveraging Nano-Banana to generate diverse edit pairs from real photographs in the OpenImages collection. What distinguishes Pico-Banana-400K from previous synthetic datasets is our systematic approach to quality and diversity. We employ a fine-grained image editing taxonomy to ensure comprehensive coverage of edit types while maintaining precise content preservation and instruction faithfulness through MLLM-based quality scoring and careful curation. Beyond single turn editing, Pico-Banana-400K enables research into complex editing scenarios. The dataset includes three specialized subsets: (1) a 72K-example multi-turn collection for studying sequential editing, reasoning, and planning across consecutive modifications; (2) a 56K-example preference subset for alignment research and reward model training; and (3) paired long-short editing instructions for developing instruction rewriting and summarization capabilities. By providing this large-scale, high-quality, and task-rich resource, Pico-Banana-400K establishes a robust foundation for training and benchmarking the next generation of text-guided image editing models.

Incremental Object Detection (IOD) aims to equip detectors with the ability to handle dynamic environments and emerging object categories, and the rise of vision-language models has substantially advanced this goal. However, existing studies often oversimplify real-world scenarios by assuming the incremental tasks come from a single general domain. To better investigate vision-language models under IOD, it is necessary to explore more generalized scenarios that encompass both novel categories and domains. To this end, we propose Cross-Domain Incremental Object Detection (CDIOD), a new benchmark that assesses the ability to continuously adapt to diverse object detection tasks across domains. CDIOD reveals that existing methods struggle to balance between adaptivity and stability under substantial domain shifts. To tackle this challenge, we propose Dynamic Group Subspace (DGS), a novel framework that dynamically groups tasks by distribution to promote knowledge sharing and prevent task collisions; progressively consolidates adapters to build shared subspaces and control parameter growth; and implements a dynamic training pipeline to maintain a proper stability-adaptivity balance. DGS enables vision-language models to effectively handle task streams of various distribution shifts. Extensive experiments across three benchmarks demonstrate that DGS achieves SOTA performance, highlighting its robustness in diverse incremental learning scenarios. Code is available at https://github.com/Never-wx/dgs.

Source-free domain adaptation (SFDA) adapts a pre-trained source model to an unlabeled target domain using only the model itself, typically relying on pseudo labeling augmented with auxiliary knowledge and consistency regularization (CR) mechanisms to alleviate noise in the generated pseudo labels. However, existing approaches overlook the geometric structure of the target embedding manifold when assigning pseudo labels, resulting in unreliable distance measurements and consequently severe mislabeling. Moreover, existing CR is applied solely to output logits, making it insensitive to feature-level reliability. To solve these issues, we propose a novel pseudo labeling scheme based on Feature universe, which is an expanded embedding space that models class-wise target distributions and Gravity consistency (GV) regularization, which modulates consistency strength according to feature-level similarity. Our pseudo labeling strategy first models the embedding space with virtual features to construct a feature universe. On this space, pseudo labels are generated through feature traversal, which propagates labels only from statistically reliable regions. In addition, GV jointly encourages logit- and feature-level consistency, aligning predictions for augmented images while preserving the geometric structure of the embedding space. It further modulates the strength of CR for each sample, preventing the confirmation of noisy pseudo labels through a gravity-based force defined between two input embeddings. Experiments on Office-Home, DomainNet-126, and VisDA-C demonstrate consistent improvements over prior SFDA methods, and incorporating GV into baselines yields additional gains.

Visual attention serves as the primary mechanism through which MLLMs interpret visual information; however, its limited localization capability often leads to hallucinations. We observe that although MLLMs can accurately extract visual semantics from visual tokens, they fail to fully leverage this advantage during subsequent inference. To address this limitation, we propose Vision-Guided Attention (VGA), a training-free method that first constructs precise visual grounding by exploiting the semantic content of visual tokens, and then uses this grounding to guide the model's focus toward relevant visual regions. In image captioning, VGA further refines this guidance dynamically during generation by suppressing regions that have already been described. In VGA, each token undergoes only a single forward pass, introducing a negligible latency overhead. In addition, VGA is fully compatible with efficient attention implementations such as FlashAttention. Extensive experiments across diverse MLLMs and multiple hallucination benchmarks demonstrate that VGA achieves state-of-the-art dehallucination performance. Further analysis confirms that explicit visual guidance plays a crucial role in enhancing the visual understanding capabilities of MLLMs.

Achieving accurate garment grasping under dynamically changing illumination is crucial for all-day operation of service robots. However, the reduced illumination in low-light scenes severely degrades garment structural features, leading to a significant drop in grasping robustness. Existing methods typically enhance RGB features by exploiting the illumination-invariant properties of non-RGB modalities, yet they overlook the varying dependence on non-RGB features under varying lighting conditions, which can introduce misaligned non-RGB cues and thereby weaken the model's adaptability to illumination changes when utilizing multimodal information. To address this problem, we propose GraspALL, an illumination-structure interactive compensation model. The innovation of GraspALL lies in encoding continuous illumination changes into quantitative references to guide adaptive feature fusion between RGB and non-RGB modalities according to varying lighting intensities, thereby generating illumination-consistent grasping representations. Experiments on the self-built garment grasping dataset demonstrate that GraspALL improves grasping accuracy by 32-44% over baselines under diverse illumination conditions.

Controlling both camera motion and object dynamics is essential for coherent and expressive video generation, yet current methods typically handle only one motion type or rely on ambiguous 2D cues that entangle camera-induced parallax with true object movement. We present SymphoMotion, a unified motion-control framework that jointly governs camera trajectories and object dynamics within a single model. SymphoMotion features a Camera Trajectory Control mechanism that integrates explicit camera paths with geometry-aware cues to ensure stable, structurally consistent viewpoint transitions, and an Object Dynamics Control mechanism that combines 2D visual guidance with 3D trajectory embeddings to enable depth-aware, spatially coherent object manipulation. To support large-scale training and evaluation, we further construct RealCOD-25K, a comprehensive real-world dataset containing paired camera poses and object-level 3D trajectories across diverse indoor and outdoor scenes, addressing a key data gap in unified motion control. Extensive experiments and user studies show that SymphoMotion significantly outperforms existing methods in visual fidelity, camera controllability, and object-motion accuracy, establishing a new benchmark for unified motion control in video generation.

We present GRaF, Generalizable Radio-Frequency (RF) Radiance Fields, a framework that models RF signal propagation to synthesize spatial spectra at arbitrary transmitter or receiver locations, where each spectrum measures signal power across all surrounding directions at the receiver. Unlike state-of-the-art methods that adapt vanilla Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) to the RF domain with scene-specific training, GRaF generalizes across scenes to synthesize spectra. To enable this, we prove an interpolation theory in the RF domain: the spatial spectrum from a transmitter can be approximated using spectra from geographically proximate transmitters. Building on this theory, GRaF comprises two components: (i) a geometry-aware Transformer encoder that captures spatial correlations from neighboring transmitters to learn a scene-independent latent RF radiance field, and (ii) a neural ray tracing algorithm that estimates spectrum reception at the receiver. Experimental results demonstrate that GRaF outperforms existing methods on single-scene benchmarks and achieves state-of-the-art performance on unseen scene layouts.

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in aligning visual inputs with natural language outputs. Yet, the extent to which generated tokens depend on visual modalities remains poorly understood, limiting interpretability and reliability. In this work, we present EAGLE, a lightweight black-box framework for explaining autoregressive token generation in MLLMs. EAGLE attributes any selected tokens to compact perceptual regions while quantifying the relative influence of language priors and perceptual evidence. The framework introduces an objective function that unifies sufficiency (insight score) and indispensability (necessity score), optimized via greedy search over sparsified image regions for faithful and efficient attribution. Beyond spatial attribution, EAGLE performs modality-aware analysis that disentangles what tokens rely on, providing fine-grained interpretability of model decisions. Extensive experiments across open-source MLLMs show that EAGLE consistently outperforms existing methods in faithfulness, localization, and hallucination diagnosis, while requiring substantially less GPU memory. These results highlight its effectiveness and practicality for advancing the interpretability of MLLMs.

Recent Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have shown impressive capabilities in multimodal understanding and generation. Despite this progress, they remain prone to *hallucination*, where model outputs conflict with the visual input due to an over-reliance on textual priors. Existing inference-time mitigation approaches frequently depend on multi-pass or contrastive decoding, which increases latency and limits their applicability in real-time settings. To address this limitation, we propose **CausalLens**, a training-free and single-pass intervention that directly adjusts the decoder hidden states to strengthen visual grounding. By decomposing attention heads into visual, textual, and system prompt pathways, CausalLens identifies visually reliable heads using a sensitivity measure and selectively adjusts their mid-layer hidden-state contributions. A projection-aligned correction further stabilizes these adjusted states after multi-head fusion, ensuring that the enhanced visual information is preserved throughout decoding. Extensive experiments across multiple hallucination benchmarks and LVLM architectures demonstrate that CausalLens consistently improves visual fidelity while adding negligible computational overhead. The method requires no fine-tuning or architectural changes, making it well-suited for practical, latency-sensitive applications.

Existing anomaly detection methods often treat the modality and class as independent factors. Although this paradigm has enriched the development of AD research branches and produced many specialized models, it has also led to fragmented solutions and excessive memory overhead. Moreover, reconstruction-based multi-class approaches typically rely on shared decoding paths, which struggle to handle large variations across domains, resulting in distorted normality boundaries, domain interference, and high false alarm rates.To address these limitations, we propose UniMMAD, a unified framework for multi-modal and multi-class anomaly detection. At the core of UniMMAD is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE)-driven feature decompression mechanism, which enables adaptive and disentangled reconstruction tailored to specific domains.This process is guided by a "general - specific" paradigm. In the encoding stage, multi-modal inputs of varying combinations are compressed into compact, general-purpose features. The encoder incorporates a feature compression module to suppress latent anomalies, encourage cross-modal interaction, and avoid shortcut learning.In the decoding stage, the general features are decompressed into modality-specific and class-specific forms via a sparsely-gated cross MoE, which dynamically selects expert pathways based on input modality and class. To further improve efficiency, we design a grouped dynamic filtering mechanism and an MoE-in-MoE structure, reducing MoE parameter usage by approximately 75% while maintaining sparse activation and fast inference. UniMMAD achieves state-of-the-art performance on 9 anomaly detection datasets, spanning 3 fields, 12 modalities, and 66 classes. Code is publicly available at https://github.com/yuanzhao-CVLAB/UniMMAD.

Estimating human gaze targets from images in-the-wild is an important and formidable task. Existing approaches primarily employ brittle, multi-stage pipelines that require explicit inputs, like head bounding boxes and human pose, in order to identify the subject of gaze analysis. As a result, detection errors can cascade and lead to failure. Moreover, these prior works lack the flexibility of specifying the gaze analysis task via natural language prompting, an approach which has been shown to have significant benefits in convenience and scalability for other image analysis tasks. To overcome these limitations, we introduce the Promptable Gaze Target Estimation (PGE) task, a new end-to-end, concept-driven paradigm for gaze analysis. PGE conditions gaze prediction on flexible user text or visual prompts (e.g., "the boy in the red shirt" or "person in point [0.52, 0.48]") to identify a specific subject for gaze analysis. This approach integrates subject localization with gaze estimation, and eliminates the rigid dependency on intermediate analysis stages. We develop a scalable data engine to generate Gaze-Co (Gaze Estimation with Concepts), a dataset and benchmark of 120K high-quality, prompt-annotated image pairs. We also propose GazeAnywhere, the first model designed for PGE. GazeAnywhere uses a transformer-based detector to fuse features from frozen encoders and simultaneously solves subject localization, in/out-of-frame presence, and gaze target heatmap estimation. GazeAnywhere achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple PGE benchmarks, setting a strong baseline for this new problem even on a difficult out-of-domain, real-world clinical dataset. GazeAnywhere is open-sourced in github.com/IrohXu/GazeAnywhere.

Personalized generation models for a single subject have demonstrated remarkable effectiveness, highlighting their significant potential. However, when extended to multiple subjects, existing models often exhibit degraded performance, particularly in maintaining subject consistency and adhering to textual prompts. We attribute these limitations to the absence of high-quality multi-subject datasets and refined post-training strategies. To address these challenges, we propose a scalable multi-subject data generation pipeline that leverages powerful single-subject generation models to construct diverse and high-quality multi-subject training data. Through this dataset, we first enable single-subject personalization models to acquire knowledge of synthesizing multi-image and multi-subject scenarios. Furthermore, to enhance both subject consistency and text controllability, we design a set of Pairwise Subject-Consistency Rewards and general-purpose rewards, which are incorporated into a refined reinforcement learning stage. To comprehensively evaluate multi-subject personalization, we introduce a new benchmark that assesses model performance using seven subsets across three dimensions. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in advancing multi-subject personalized image generation. Github Link: https://github.com/wang-shulei.

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) is a key technique for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of Vision Language Models (VLMs). Existing methods often employ Reinforcement Learning (RL) with external constraints to align the model's reasoning process with human cognitive patterns. However, we argue that the model's intrinsic reasoning paths may differ from human cognition, and that forcing such alignment can constrain the model's potential and even degrade its performance. To address this, we propose leveraging the model's intrinsic self-evaluation to guide its optimization. We hypothesize that a model's self-generated confidence scores are effective indicators of its reasoning quality. Based on this evaluation metric, we design two novel reward functions: (1) Sequential Confidence Rigorous Evaluation (SCRE) for challenging problems that demand strict logical reasoning, and (2) Intra-group Score Re-ranking (IGSR) for general-purpose, open-ended scenarios. We name our method Video-RAISE (Reasoning Alignment through Intrinsic Self-Evaluation). Comprehensive experiments on six video understanding benchmarks demonstrate that Video-RAISE achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance, significantly outperforming previous methods and even proprietary models, e,g. GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5 pro. For instance, on the VideoMMMU benchmark, our Video-RAISE achieves a new SOTA accuracy of 52.8%, outperforming the previous best model by a significant 3.0%. In addition, our method achieves a reasoning path consistency of 90%, which is double that of the Qwen2.5-VL-Instruct and even surpasses the performance of supervised fine-tuning.

We introduce RefTon, a flux-based person-to-person virtual try-on framework that enhances garment realism through unpaired visual references. Unlike conventional approaches that rely on complex auxiliary inputs such as body parsing and warped mask or require finely designed extract branches to process various input conditions, RefTon streamlines the process by directly generating try-on results from a source image and a target garment, without the need for structural guidance or auxiliary components to handle diverse inputs. Moreover, inspired by human clothing selection behavior, RefTon leverages additional reference images (the target garment worn on different individuals) to provide powerful guidance for refining texture alignment and maintaining the garment details. To enable this capability, we built a dataset containing unpaired reference images for training. Extensive experiments on public benchmarks demonstrate that RefTon achieves competitive or superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods, while maintaining a simple and efficient person-to-person design. \thanks Code and dataset is available at: https://github.com/360CVGroup/RefTon.
