We contend that embodied learning is fundamentally a lifecycle problem rather than a single-stage optimization. Systems that optimize only one link (data collection, simulation, learning, or deployment) rarely sustain improvement or generalize beyond narrow settings. We introduce Arcadia, a closed-loop framework that operationalizes embodied lifelong learning by tightly coupling four stages: (1) Self-evolving exploration and grounding for autonomous data acquisition in physical environments, (2) Generative scene reconstruction and augmentation for realistic and extensible scene creation, (3) a Shared embodied representation architecture that unifies navigation and manipulation within a single multimodal backbone, and (4) Sim-from-real evaluation and evolution that closes the feedback loop through simulation-based adaptation. This coupling is non-decomposable: removing any stage breaks the improvement loop and reverts to one-shot training. Arcadia delivers consistent gains on navigation and manipulation benchmarks and transfers robustly to physical robots, indicating that a tightly coupled lifecycle: continuous real-world data acquisition, generative simulation update, and shared-representation learning, supports lifelong improvement and end-to-end generalization. We release standardized interfaces enabling reproducible evaluation and cross-model comparison in reusable environments, positioning Arcadia as a scalable foundation for general-purpose embodied agents.

Temporally consistent surface reconstruction of dynamic 3D objects from unstructured point cloud data remains challenging, especially for very long sequences. Existing methods either optimize deformations incrementally, risking drift and requiring long runtimes, or rely on complex learned models that demand category-specific training. We present Neu-PiG, a fast deformation optimization method based on a novel preconditioned latent-grid encoding that distributes spatial features parameterized on the position and normal direction of a keyframe surface. Our method encodes entire deformations across all time steps at various spatial scales into a multi-resolution latent grid, parameterized by the position and normal direction of a reference surface from a single keyframe. This latent representation is then augmented for time modulation and decoded into per-frame 6-DoF deformations via a lightweight multi-layer perceptron (MLP). To achieve high-fidelity, drift-free surface reconstructions in seconds, we employ Sobolev preconditioning during gradient-based training of the latent space, completely avoiding the need for any explicit correspondences or further priors. Experiments across diverse human and animal datasets demonstrate that Neu-PiG outperforms state-the-art approaches, offering both superior accuracy and scalability to long sequences while running at least 60x faster than existing training-free methods and achieving inference speeds on the same order as heavy pre-trained models.

Text-to-image (T2I) models are increasingly used for synthetic dataset generation, but generating synthetic training data to improve fine-grained classification performance remains challenging. Fine-tuning the T2I model with a few real examples can help generate more appropriate synthetic training data; however, this fine-tuning may also introduce overfitting and reduce diversity in the generated samples. We propose a fine-tuning strategy BOB (Beyond OBjects) for mitigating these concerns. Given a small set of real examples, we first describe them using class-agnostic attributes such as scene background and object pose. We then explicitly condition on these attributes during fine-tuning of the T2I model and marginalize them out during generation. This design mitigates overfitting, thus preserving the T2I model's generative prior and reducing estimation errors, and further minimizes unintended inter-class associations. Extensive experiments across multiple T2I models, backbones, and datasets demonstrate state-of-the-art performance in low-shot fine-grained classification when augmented with synthetic data. Concretely, BOB outperforms DataDream by 7.4% on the Aircraft dataset (from 50.0% to 57.4% when fine-tuning a CLIP classifier with 5 real images augmented with 100 synthetic images). Additionally, in three of the four datasets, the fine-tuning downstream models with synthetic data generated from BOB and five real images achieves better performance than fine-tuning with 10 real images. Collectively, BOB outperforms prior art in 18 of 24 experimental settings, with over 2% accuracy improvements in 14 of these settings.

Rare diseases often manifest with distinctive facial phenotypes in children, offering valuable diagnostic cues for clinicians and AI-assisted screening systems. However, progress in this field is severely limited by the scarcity of curated, ethically sourced facial data and the high similarity among phenotypes across different conditions. To address these challenges, we introduce RDFace, a curated benchmark dataset comprising 456 pediatric facial images spanning 103 rare genetic conditions (average 4.4 samples per condition). Each ethically verified image is paired with standardized metadata. RDFace enables the development and evaluation of data-efficient AI models for rare disease diagnosis under real-world low-data constraints. We benchmark multiple pretrained vision backbones using cross-validation and explore synthetic augmentation with DreamBooth and FastGAN. Generated images are filtered via facial landmark similarity to maintain phenotype fidelity and merged with real data, improving diagnostic accuracy by up to 13.7% in ultra-low-data regimes. To assess semantic validity, phenotype descriptions generated by a vision-language model from real and synthetic images achieve a report similarity score of 0.84. RDFace establishes a transparent, benchmark-ready dataset for equitable rare disease AI research and presents a scalable framework for evaluating both diagnostic performance and the integrity of synthetic medical imagery.

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) is essential for deploying medical segmentation models across diverse clinical environments. Existing methods are fundamentally limited, suffering from semantically unaware feature alignment that results in poor distributional fidelity and from pseudo-label validation that disregards global anatomical constraints, thus failing to prevent the formation of globally implausible structures. To address these issues, we propose SHAPE (Structure-aware Hierarchical Unsupervised Domain Adaptation with Plausibility Evaluation), a framework that reframes adaptation towards global anatomical plausibility. Built on a DINOv3 foundation, its Hierarchical Feature Modulation (HFM) module first generates features with both high fidelity and class-awareness. This shifts the core challenge to robustly validating pseudo-labels. To augment conventional pixel-level validation, we introduce Hypergraph Plausibility Estimation (HPE), which leverages hypergraphs to assess the global anatomical plausibility that standard graphs cannot capture.This is complemented by Structural Anomaly Pruning (SAP) to purge remaining artifacts via cross-view stability.SHAPE significantly outperforms prior methods on cardiac and abdominal cross-modality benchmarks, achieving state-of-the-art average Dice scores of 90.08% (MRI - CT) and 78.51% (CT - MRI) on cardiac data, and 87.48% (MRI - CT) and 86.89% (CT - MRI) on abdominal data.

This paper presents a generalizable CoSOD framework via mixed content-style modulation, termed CoMCS, to enhance the robustness of the model to unseen domains. The CoMCS, consisting of a mixed content modulator (MCM), a mixed style modulator (MSM), and a collaborative semantic contrast module (SCM), effectively extracts scene structure priors as well as augments the source domain styles to bridge the domain gap between the source and the unseen domains. Specifically, the CoMCS first utilizes the CLIP model to extract conceptual knowledge associated with the semantic classes in the whole scene, resulting in multi-class semantic embeddings that are domain-invariant. Subsequently, the MCM models the semantic relationships between the prototypes of co-salient objects and the multi-class semantic embeddings through the cross-attention mechanism, effectively capturing domain-invariant scene structure priors that aid in reducing scene distribution shift in unseen domains. Meanwhile, to alleviate domain perturbations encountered during testing, the MSM addresses the uncertainty associated with domain shifts by synthesizing feature statistics, such as mean and standard deviation, during training to simulate new stylistic characteristics, thus achieving data augmentation within the source domain. Finally, to reduce the ambiguity of the co-salient object representations within test data from unseen domains, the SCM employs a uniform loss function to ensure that the learned prototypes are uniformly distributed within the hyperspherical space, further enhancing the domain generalization capabilities of the framework. Besides, to further verify the generalization ability of the CoMCS to unseen domains, we construct an unseen-domain benchmark dataset (UND) that selects a variety of image groups with unseen classes from CoCA, CoSOD3k, CoSal2015. Extensive evaluations on the four benchmark datasets demonstrate favorable performance of our CoMCS to a variety of state-of-the-art methods.

Medical Visual Question Answering (Med-VQA) holds significant promise for clinical decision support, yet faces challenges due to limited annotated data and the high computational demands of existing large vision-language models. We propose MedFG-VQA, a lightweight framework that leverages a memory bank to augment DCT-based low-frequency features and employs graph-enhanced cross-attention for effective visual-textual alignment. Specifically, our approach features two key components: Frequency-Memory Fusion (FMF), which enhances low-frequency features by retrieving from a learnable memory bank built on DCT decomposition, and Graph-Aware Cross-Attention (GACA), which aligns visual-textual features via cross-attention and refines them through graph-convolutional aggregation. To address data scarcity, we construct SynMed-VQA, a large-scale synthetic dataset comprising over 2 million question-answer pairs across 9 imaging modalities and 10 major organs, generated with GPT-4o. Extensive experiments on SynMed-VQA and three other standard biomedical VQA benchmarks demonstrate that MedFG-VQA achieves competitive or superior performance compared to much larger models while maintaining significantly lower computational costs, highlighting its efficiency and potential for clinical deployment.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown impressive capabilities in jointly understanding text, images, and videos, often evaluated via Visual Question Answering (VQA). However, even state-of-the-art MLLMs struggle with domain-specific or knowledge-intensive queries, where relevant information is underrepresented in pre-training data. Knowledge-based VQA (KB-VQA) addresses this by retrieving external documents to condition answer generation, but current retrieval-augmented approaches suffer from low precision, noisy passages, and limited reasoning. To address this, we propose ReAG, a novel Reasoning-Augmented Multimodal RAG approach that combines coarse- and fine-grained retrieval with a critic model that filters irrelevant passages, ensuring high-quality additional context. The model follows a multi-stage training strategy leveraging reinforcement learning to enhance reasoning over retrieved content, while supervised fine-tuning serves only as a cold start. Extensive experiments on Encyclopedic-VQA and InfoSeek demonstrate that ReAG significantly outperforms prior methods, improving answer accuracy and providing interpretable reasoning grounded in retrieved evidence.

Synthesizing realistic human motion from natural language holds transformative potential for animation, robotics, and virtual reality. Recent methods handle single-action sequences and simple textual instructions, yet multi-action compositions and precise editing remain elusive due to limited data diversity, inadequate representations, and fragmented pipelines. Critically, most existing methods train motion generation models from scratch, failing to exploithe rich action semantics and long-horizon reasoning already encoded in pretrained Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Here we show that finetuning a pretrained MLLM with large-scale motion data yields strong zero-shot generalization across diverse text-guided motion generation and editing tasks. We present MotionMaster, a unified framework built on three components: MotionGB, a 10,000-hour dataset expanded from 400 hours of verified motion capture via spatial-temporal augmentation; an FSQ-based tokenizer that preserves both local joint accuracy and global trajectory coherence; and a finetuned MLLM with motion and language tokens in a shared embedding space. MotionMaster outperforms prior methods by 41.6% in multi-action semantic consistency and 20.8% in body-part composition. These results demonstrate that pretraining knowledge from MLLMs transfers effectively to motion understanding, opening a viable path toward general-purpose motion intelligence.

Recent advances in self-supervised learning (SSL) for point clouds have substantially improved 3D scene understanding without human annotations. Existing approaches emphasize semantic awareness by enforcing feature consistency across augmented views or by masked scene modeling. However, the resulting representations transfer poorly to instance localization, and often require full finetuning for strong performance. Instance awareness is a fundamental component of 3D perception, thus bridging this gap is crucial for progressing toward true 3D foundation models that support all downstream tasks on 3D data. In this work, we introduce PointINS, an instance-oriented self-supervised framework that enriches point cloud representations through geometry-aware learning.PointINS employs an orthogonal offset branch to jointly learn high-level semantic understanding and geometric reasoning, yielding instance awareness. We identify two consistent properties essential for robust instance localization and formulate them as complementary regularization strategies, Offset Distribution Regularization (ODR), which aligns predicted offsets with empirically observed geometric priors, and Spatial Clustering Regularization (SCR), which enforces local coherence by regularizing offsets with pseudo-instance masks. Through extensive experiments across five datasets, PointINS achieves on average +3.5% mAP improvement for indoor instance segmentation and +4.1% PQ gain for outdoor panoptic segmentation, paving the way for scalable 3D foundation models.

Accurate robot segmentation is a fundamental capability for robotic perception. It enables precise visual servoing for VLA systems, scalable robot-centric data augmentation, accurate real-to-sim transfer, and reliable safety monitoring in dynamic human-robot environments. Despite the strong capabilities of modern segmentation models, surprisingly it remains challenging to segment robots. This is due to robot embodiment diversity, appearance ambiguity, structural complexity, and rapid shape changes. Embracing these challenges, we introduce RobotSeg, a foundation model for robot segmentation in image and video. RobotSeg is built upon the versatile SAM 2 foundation model but addresses its three limitations for robot segmentation, namely the lack of adaptation to articulated robots, reliance on manual prompts, and the need for per-frame training mask annotations, by introducing a structure-enhanced memory associator, a robot prompt generator, and a label-efficient training strategy. These innovations collectively enable a structure-aware, automatic, and label-efficient solution. We further construct the video robot segmentation (VRS) dataset comprising over 2.8k videos (138k frames) with diverse robot embodiments and environments. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RobotSeg achieves state-of-the-art performance on both images and videos, establishing a strong foundation for future advances in robot perception.

Recent large vision-language models (LVLMs) have been applied to diverse VQA tasks. However, achieving practical performance typically requires task-specific fine-tuning with large numbers of image-text pairs, which are costly to collect. In this work, we study text-centric training, a setting where only textual descriptions are available and no real images are provided, as a paradigm for low-cost data scaling. Unlike images, whose collection is often restricted by privacy constraints and scarcity in niche domains, text is widely available. Moreover, text is easily editable, enabling automatic diversification and expansion with LLMs at minimal human effort. While this offers clear advantages over image collection in terms of scalability and cost, training on raw text without images still yields limited gains on VQA tasks because of the image-text modality gap. To address this issue, we propose a Text-Printed Image (TPI), which generates synthetic images by directly rendering the given textual description on a plain white canvas. This simple rendering projects text into the image modality and can be integrated into many existing LVLM training pipelines at low cost. Moreover, TPI preserves the semantics of the text, whereas text-to-image models often fail to do. Across four models and seven benchmarks, our systematic experiments show that TPI enables more effective text-centric training than synthetic images generated by a diffusion model. We further explore TPI as a low-cost data-augmentation strategy and demonstrate its practical utility. Overall, our findings highlight the significant potential of text-centric training and, more broadly, chart a path toward fully automated data generation for LVLMs.

As recent AI models have successfully generated high-resolution photorealistic images, it has also been socially important to detect whether an image is generated by AI. Since training data for the detection task is often not available due to the diversity of generative models, training-free detection approaches have been practically considered. A common approach is to utilize the image-level reconstruction error from the latent diffusion model (LDM). However, we find this score suffers from instance-specific biases, particularly in images with simple backgrounds. To this end, we propose a novel image-level debiasing score function that cancels out background contribution by normalizing the reconstruction error on the augmented images with similar background information. To be specific, we show that rotation and low-pass filtering are effective augmentation strategies. To promote generalization to broader generative models, we newly explore latent-level reconstruction error as an additional training-free signal. However, we observe that the latent-level score also suffers to latent-specific bias. To mitigate this, we introduce a rotation-based latent-level debiasing score based on the normalization of the rotated latent. We unify the aforementioned scores into a single unified debiasing score, RDD, which achieves state-of-the-art training-free detection performance across diverse generative models. Furthermore, our framework can be robust to corruption of the examined images.

This paper focuses on embodied task planning, where an agent acquires visual observations from the environment and executes atomic actions to accomplish a given task. Although recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved impressive results in multimodal understanding and reasoning, their performance remains limited when applied to embodied planning that involves multi-turn interaction, long-horizon reasoning, and extended context analysis. To bridge this gap, we propose RoboAgent, a capability-driven planning pipeline in which the model actively invokes different sub-capabilities. Each capability maintains its own context, and produces intermediate reasoning results or interacts with the environment according to the query given by a scheduler. This framework decomposes complex planning into a sequence of basic vision-language problems that VLMs can better address, enabling a more transparent and controllable reasoning process. The scheduler and all capabilities are implemented with a single VLM, without relying on external tools. To train this VLM, we adopt a multi-stage paradigm that consists of: (1) behavior cloning with expert plans, (2) DAgger training using trajectories collected by the model, and (3) reinforcement learning guided by an expert policy. Across these stages, we exploit the internal information of the environment simulator to construct high-quality supervision for each capability, and we further introduce augmented and synthetic data to enhance the model's performance in more diverse scenarios. Extensive experiments on widely used embodied task planning benchmarks validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Few-shot object detection (FSOD) is challenging due to unstable optimization and limited generalization arising from the scarcity of training samples. To address these issues, we propose a hybrid ensemble decoder that enhances generalization during fine-tuning. Inspired by ensemble learning, the decoder comprises a shared hierarchical layer followed by multiple parallel decoder branches, where each branch employs denoising queries either inherited from the shared layer or newly initialized to encourage prediction diversity. This design fully exploits pretrained weights without introducing additional parameters, and the resulting diverse predictions can be effectively ensembled to improve generalization. We further leverage a unified progressive fine-tuning framework with a plateau-aware learning rate schedule, which stabilizes optimization and achieves strong few-shot adaptation without complex data augmentations or extensive hyperparameter tuning. Extensive experiments on CD-FSOD, ODinW-13, and RF100-VL validate the effectiveness of our approach. Notably, on RF100-VL, which includes 100 datasets across diverse domains, our method achieves an average performance of 41.9 in the 10-shot setting, significantly outperforming the recent approach SAM3, which obtains 35.7. We further construct a mixed-domain test set from CD-FSOD to evaluate robustness to out-of-distribution (OOD) samples, showing that our proposed modules lead to clear improvement gains. These results highlight the effectiveness, generalization, and robustness of the proposed method. Code is available at: https://github.com/Intellindust-AI-Lab/FT-FSOD.

Vocabulary-free fine-grained image recognition aims to distinguish visually similar categories within a meta-class without a fixed, human-defined label set. Existing solutions for this problem remain limited by either the usage of a large and rigid list of vocabularies or by the dependency on complex pipelines with fragile heuristics where errors propagate across stages. Meanwhile, the ability of recent large multi-modal models (LMMs) equipped with explicit or implicit reasoning to comprehend visual-language data, decompose problems, retrieve latent knowledge, and self-correct suggests a more principled and effective alternative. Building on these capabilities, we propose FiNDR (Fine-grained Name Discovery via Reasoning), the first reasoning-augmented LMM-based framework for vocabulary-free fine-grained recognition. The system oper- ates in three automated steps: (i) a reasoning-enabled LMM generates descriptive candidate labels for each image; (ii) a vision-language model filters and ranks these candidates to form a coherent class set; and (iii) the verified names instantiate a lightweight multi-modal classifier used at inference time. Extensive experiments on popular fine-grained classification benchmarks demonstrate state-of-the-art per- formance under the vocabulary-free setting, with a significant relative margin of up to 18.8% over previous ap- proaches. Remarkably, the proposed method surpasses zero-shot baselines that exploit pre-defined ground-truth names, challenging the assumption that human-curated vo- cabularies define an upper bound. Ablations further confirm that advanced prompting techniques and built-in rea- soning mechanisms significantly enhance naming quality. Additionally, we show that carefully engineered prompts enable open-source LMMs to match proprietary counter- parts. These findings establish reasoning-augmented LMMs as an effective foundation for scalable, fully automated, open-world fine-grained visual recognition. The source code and relevant prompting guidelines will be released.

Millimeter-wave radar's all-weather capability makes it increasingly vital for autonomous perception. However, the high cost of radar data collection drives the need for data generation to augment radar datasets. Existing works mainly target partial radar representations, e.g., 2D or 3D slices, leading to information loss and limited downstream performance. To overcome these issues, we introduce the novel task of LiDAR-to-4DRadar translation, which generates complete 4D radar tensors, with three spatial and one Doppler axes, guided by LiDAR data that preserve spatial and semantic consistency. We propose a novel diffusion bridge model in an aligned LiDAR-4DRadar latent space, namely L2RLDB, to tackle this task. Specifically, first, a key-voxel-aware VAE compresses high-dimensional, noisy radar tensors into a compact latent space, while enabling precise numerical reconstruction and key-voxel identification. Second, to bridge the cross-modal gap between sparse 3D LiDAR and dense 4D radar, we develop a patch-wise contrastive learning module to align LiDAR latents with radar semantically and spatially. Finally, we formulate the translation as a diffusion bridge process between LiDAR and radar latents, enabling the synthesis of full radar tensors from Doppler-lacking LiDAR inputs. Experiments verify that L2RLDB achieves high-fidelity 4D radar generation and significantly improves downstream detection through data augmentation.

Most referring object detection (ROD) models, especially the modern grounding detectors, are designed for data-rich conditions, yet many practical deployments, such as robotics, augmented reality, and other specialized domains, would face severe label scarcity. In such regimes, end-to-end grounding detectors need to learn spatial and semantic structure from scratch, wasting precious samples. We ask a simple question: Can explicit reasoning priors help models learn more efficiently when data is scarce? To explore this, we first introduce a Data-efficient Referring Object Detection (De-ROD) task, which is a benchmark protocol for measuring ROD performance in low-data and few-shot settings. We then propose the HeROD (Heuristic-inspired ROD), a lightweight, model-agnostic framework that injects explicit, heuristic-inspired spatial and semantic reasoning priors, which are interpretable signals derived based on the referring phrase, into 3 stages of a modern DETR-style pipeline: proposal ranking, prediction fusion, and Hungarian matching. By biasing both training and inference toward plausible candidates, these priors promise to improve label efficiency and convergence performance. On RefCOCO, RefCOCO+, and RefCOCOg, HeROD consistently outperforms strong grounding baselines in scarce-label regimes. More broadly, our results suggest that integrating simple, interpretable reasoning priors provides a practical and extensible path toward better data-efficient vision-language understanding.

Existing autonomous driving systems rely on onboard sensors (cameras, LiDAR, IMU, etc) for environmental perception. However, this paradigm is limited by the drive-time perception horizon and often fails under limited view scope, occlusion or extreme conditions such as darkness and rain. In contrast, human drivers are able to recall road structure even under poor visibility. To endow models with this recall ability, we propose the spatial retrieval paradigm, introducing offline retrieved geographic images as an additional input. These images are easy to obtain from offline caches (e.g., Google Maps or stored autonomous driving datasets) without requiring additional sensors, making it a plug-and-play extension for existing AD tasks. For experiments, we first extend the nuScenes dataset with geographic images retrieved via Google Maps APIs and align the new data with ego-vehicle trajectories. We establish baselines across five core autonomous driving tasks: object detection, online mapping, occupancy prediction, end-to-end planning, and generative world modeling. Extensive experiments show that the extended modality could enhance the performance of certain tasks. We will open-source dataset curation code, data, and benchmarks for further study of this new autonomous driving paradigm.

End-to-end autonomous driving (E2E-AD) demands effective processing of multi-view sensor data and robust handling of diverse and complex driving scenarios, particularly rare maneuvers such as aggressive turns. The recent success of the Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture in Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrates that expert specialization enables strong scalability. In this work, we propose DriveMoE, a novel MoE-based E2E-AD framework, with a Scene-Specialized Vision MoE and a Skill-Specialized Action MoE. First, we introduce Drive-p0, a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) baseline adapted from Embodied AI for autonomous driving, which serves as the foundation model for DriveMoE. Building on this, we strengthen perception through a carefully designed Vision MoE, where a router adaptively selects context-relevant camera views. This mechanism is inspired by human driving cognition, in which attention is directed to key visual cues rather than to all sensory inputs simultaneously. Beyond perception, we introduce an Action MoE that augments the framework by training a router to activate specialized expert modules tailored to distinct driving behaviors. Within the Action MoE, we implement two distinct styles(Token-level Router and Trajectory-level Router) and extensively explore their applicability in autonomous driving. In Bench2Drive closed-loop evaluations, DriveMoE demonstrates robust performance across diverse driving scenarios, alleviates the mode-averaging effect that limits existing models, and achieves state-of-the-art results with significant improvements over Drive-p0. We will release our code and models of DriveMoE and Drive-p0.
