Despite the advancements in diffusion-based image style transfer, existing methods are commonly limited by 1) semantic gap: the style reference could miss proper content semantics, causing uncontrollable stylization; 2) reliance on extra constraints (e.g., semantic masks) restricting applicability; 3) rigid feature associations lacking adaptive global-local alignment, failing to balance fine-grained stylization and global content preservation. These limitations, particularly the inability to flexibly leverage style inputs, fundamentally restrict style transfer in terms of personalization, accuracy, and adaptability.To address these, we propose StyleGallery, a training-free and semantic-aware framework that supports arbitrary reference images as input and enables effective personalized customization.It comprises three core stages: semantic region segmentation (adaptive clustering on latent diffusion features to divide regions without extra inputs); clustered region matching (block filtering on extracted features for precise alignment); and style transfer optimization (energy function-guided diffusion sampling with regional style loss to optimize stylization).Experiments on our introduced benchmark demonstrate that StyleGallery outperforms state-of-the-art methods in content structure preservation, regional stylization, interpretability, and personalized customization, particularly when leveraging multiple style references. The source code and dataset are available at https://github.com/iiiiiiiword/StyleGallery.

The advent of multimodal agents facilitates effective interaction within graphical user interface (GUI), especially in ubiquitous GUI control. However, their inability to reliably execute toggle control instructions remains a key bottleneck. To investigate this, we construct a state control benchmark with binary toggle instructions derived from public datasets. Evaluation results of existing agents demonstrate their notable unreliability, particularly when the current toggle state already matches the desired state. To address the challenge, we propose State-aware Reasoning (StaR), a multimodal reasoning method that enables agents to perceive the current toggle state, infer the desired state from the instruction, and act accordingly. Experiments on four multimodal agents demonstrate that StaR can improve toggle instruction execution accuracy by over 30%. Further evaluations on three public agentic benchmarks show that StaR also enhances general agentic task performance. Finally, evaluations on a dynamic environment highlight the potential of StaR for real-world applications. Code and benchmark: https://github.com/ZrW00/StaR.

The surge of highly realistic synthetic videos produced by contemporary generative systems has significantly increased the risk of malicious use, challenging both humans and existing detectors. Against this backdrop, we take a generator-side view and observe that internal cross-attention mechanisms in these models encode fine-grained speech-motion alignment, offering useful correspondence cues for forgery detection. Building on this insight, we propose X-AVDT, a robust and generalizable deepfake detector that probes generator-internal audio-visual signals accessed via DDIM inversion to expose these cues. X-AVDT extracts two complementary signals: (i) a video composite capturing inversion-induced discrepancies, and (ii) audio-visual cross-attention feature reflecting modality alignment enforced during generation. To enable faithful, cross-generator evaluation, we further introduce MMDF, a new multi-modal deepfake dataset spanning diverse manipulation types and rapidly evolving synthesis paradigms, including GANs, diffusion, and flow-matching. Extensive experiments demonstrate that X-AVDT achieves leading performance on MMDF and generalizes strongly to external benchmarks and unseen generators, outperforming existing methods with accuracy improved by +13.1%. Our findings highlight the importance of leveraging internal audio-visual consistency cues for robustness to future generators in deepfake detection. The code and dataset will soon be available.

Self-supervised monocular depth estimation has achieved remarkable progress in recent years, yet frequency aliasing and the lack of fine-grained cross-frame motion modeling still lead to blurred depth boundaries and suboptimal camera motion estimation.To address these challenges, we propose a progressive self-supervised framework that integrates a Frequency-Guided Depth Network (FGDepth) and a PoseQuery Network (PQNet). FGDepth incorporates a plug-and-play Frequency-Guided Sampling module that explicitly enhances high-frequency details and suppresses aliasing artifacts, producing depth maps with sharper boundaries. PQNet employs channel-aligned attention to model fine-grained cross-frame motion features, enabling more accurate and robust camera motion estimation. Furthermore, we design a progressive three-stage decoupled training strategy that effectively leverages the complementarity between depth and pose estimation, further improving overall performance.Extensive experiments on the KITTI benchmark demonstrate state-of-the-art performance, achieving a 4.1% reduction in Sq Rel over strong baselines, and our method also exhibits excellent cross-dataset generalization on Make3D. Ablation studies further validate the effectiveness of each proposed component.

Existing fine-grained image retrieval (FGIR) methods learn discriminative embeddings by adopting semantically sparse one-hot labels derived from category names as supervision. While effective on seen classes, such supervision overlooks the rich semantics encoded in category names, hindering the modeling of comparability among cross-category details and, in turn, limiting generalization to unseen categories. To tackle this, we introduce LaFG, a Language-driven framework for Fine-Grained Retrieval that converts class names into attribute-level supervision using large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs). Treating each name as a semantic anchor, LaFG prompts an LLM to generate detailed, attribute-oriented descriptions. To mitigate attribute omission in these descriptions, it leverages a frozen VLM to project them into a vision-aligned space, clustering them into a dataset-wide attribute vocabulary while harvesting complementary attributes from related categories. Leveraging this vocabulary, a global prompt template selects category-relevant attributes, which are aggregated into category-specific linguistic prototypes. These prototypes supervise the retrieval model to steer it toward pinpointing visual details consistent with linguistic descriptions, thus modeling comparability among object details. Extensive evaluations show that LaFG achieves impressive performance on both fine- and coarse-grained benchmarks and generalizes well to unseen categories.

We present the first systematic analysis of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) in personalized question-answering requiring ego-grounding - the ability to understand the camera-wearer in egocentric videos. To this end, we introduce MyEgo, the first egocentric VideoQA dataset designed to evaluate MLLMs' ability to understand, remember, and reason about the camera wearer. MyEgo comprises 541 long videos and 5K personalized questions asking about "my things", "my activities", and "my past". Benchmarking reveals that competitive MLLMs across variants, including open-source vs. proprietary, thinking vs. non-thinking, small vs. large scales all struggle on MyEgo. Top closed- and open-source models (e.g., GPT-5 and Qwen3-VL) achieve only 46% and 36% accuracy, trailing human performance by near 40% and 50% respectively. Surprisingly, neither explicit reasoning nor model scaling yield consistent improvements. Models improve when relevant evidence is explicitly provided, but gains drop over time, indicating limitations in tracking and remembering "me" and "my past". These findings collectively highlight the crucial role of ego-grounding and long-range memory in enabling personalized QA in egocentric videos. We hope MyEgo and our analyses catalyze further progress in these areas for egocentric personalized assistance.

We present Ego-1K, a large-scale, time-synchronized collection of egocentric multiview videos designed to advance neural 3D video synthesis, dynamic scene understanding, and embodied perception. The dataset contains nearly 1,000 short egocentric videos taken with a custom rig with 12 synchronous cameras surrounding a VR headset worn by the user. Scene content focuses on hand motions and hand-object interactions in different settings. We describe rig design, data processing, and calibration. Our dataset enables new ways to benchmark egocentric scene reconstruction methods. We believe this is an important area of research as smart glasses with multiple cameras become omnipresent. Our experiments demonstrate that our dataset presents unique challenges for existing 3D and 4D novel view synthesis methods due to high disparities and image motion caused by close dynamic objects and rig egomotion. Our dataset supports future research in this challenging domain, enabling 4D world creation and sharing.

We introduce Particulate, a feed-forward model that, given a 3D mesh of an object, infers its articulations, including its 3D parts, their kinematic structure, and the motion constraints. The model is based on a transformer network, the Part Articulation Transformer, which predicts all these parameters for all joints. We train the network end-to-end on a diverse collection of articulated 3D assets from public datasets. During inference, Particulate maps the output of the network back to the input mesh, yielding a fully articulated 3D model in seconds, much faster than prior approaches that require per-object optimization. Particulate also works on AI-generated 3D assets, enabling the generation of articulated 3D objects from a single (real or synthetic) image when combined with an off-the-shelf image-to-3D model. We further introduce a new challenging benchmark for 3D articulation estimation curated from high-quality public 3D assets, and redesign the evaluation protocol to be more consistent with human preferences. Empirically, Particulate significantly outperforms state-of-the-art approaches.

The issue of algorithmic biases in deep learning has led to the development of various debiasing techniques, many of which perform complex training procedures or dataset manipulation. However, an intriguing question arises: is it possible to extract fair and bias-agnostic subnetworks from standard vanilla-trained models without relying on additional data, such as unbiased training set? In this work, we introduce Bias-Invariant Subnetwork Extraction (BISE), a learning strategy that identifies and isolates "bias-free" subnetworks that already exist within conventionally trained models, without retraining or finetuning the original parameters. Our approach demonstrates that such subnetworks can be extracted via pruning and can operate without modification, effectively relying less on biased features and maintaining robust performance. Our findings contribute towards efficient bias mitigation through structural adaptation of pre-trained neural networks via parameter removal, as opposed to costly strategies that are either data-centric or involve (re)training all model parameters. Extensive experiments on common benchmarks show the advantages of our approach in terms of the performance and computational efficiency of the resulting debiased model.

Recent advances in generative modeling can create remarkably realistic synthetic videos, making it increasingly difficult for humans to distinguish them from real ones and necessitating reliable detection methods. However, two key limitations hinder the development of this field.**From the dataset perspective**, existing datasets are often limited in scale and constructed using outdated or narrowly scoped generative models, making it difficult to capture the diversity and rapid evolution of modern generative techniques. Moreover, the dataset construction process frequently prioritizes quantity over quality, neglecting essential aspects such as semantic diversity, scenario coverage, and technological representativeness. **From the benchmark perspective**, current benchmarks largely remain at the stage of dataset creation, leaving many fundamental issues and in-depth analysis yet to be systematically explored.Addressing this gap, we propose AIGVDBench, a benchmark designed to be comprehensive and representative, covering **31** state-of-the-art generation models and over **440,000** videos. By executing more than **1,500** evaluations on **33** existing detectors belonging to four distinct categories. This work presents **8 in-depth analyses** from multiple perspectives and identifying **4 novel findings** that offer valuable insights for the field. We hope this work provides a solid foundation for advancing the field of AI-generated video detection.

Weakly supervised video anomaly detection (WS-VAD) aims to localize frame-level anomalies using only video-level labels. This task is typically formulated within a multiple instance learning (MIL) paradigm, where each video is treated as a bag of snippets, achieving robust performance without requiring additional information.However, existing methods often struggle with noisy supervision signals. Normal snippets within abnormal bags are frequently misclassified as anomalies due to inaccurate anomaly scores. These misclassified instances act as noisy samples, introducing false supervision that hinders the learning of true anomaly patterns.In this work, we introduce D^ 2 MIL, a Denoising-Debiasing framework within the Multiple Instance Learning paradigm designed to suppress noise and improve anomaly discrimination. Our approach integrates two key components:(1) Denoising Module: We introduce a dynamic drop rate to adaptively filter out suspected noisy samples during training, based on the observation that noisy samples incur higher training losses. (2) Debiasing Module: We leverage a vision-language model to re-evaluate the discarded samples. This recovers potentially valuable abnormal instances that were mistakenly removed, as they are similar to noisy samples but difficult for the model to recognize. D^ 2 MIL is a general purpose denoising strategy that can be integrated into any MIL-based method. Our extensive experiments on the three benchmark datasets (ShanghaiTech, UCF-Crime, and MSAD) demonstrate that D^ 2 MIL is compatible with diverse MIL frameworks and consistently enhances their performance.

Despite recent advances in multimodal reasoning, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) still struggle on complex tasks where initial visual perceptions can be misleading. This performance gap stems from a critical reasoning flaw we term Visual Inertia: while MLLMs excel at iterative reflection in textual contexts, they tend to uncritically commit to their initial visual interpretations and rarely revise them. To overcome this limitation, we introduce GThinker, an MLLM equipped with a novel adaptive visual rethinking capability. GThinker leverages Cue-Rethinking, a flexible reasoning pattern that not only grounds reasoning in visual cues but also strategically triggers a re-examination of these cues to resolve inconsistencies. To instill this capability, we introduce a novel two-stage training framework. It begins with a pattern-guided cold start, enhanced by a judge-guided selective mechanism to learn from failure cases, followed by incentive reinforcement learning. We further curate the GThinker-11K dataset to power the training with an iterative multimodal annotation pipeline. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GThinker significantly mitigates visual inertia during reasoning, achieving a leading 81.5% on the M3CoT benchmark, which is rich in such challenges, surpassing the powerful o4-mini model. Furthermore, GThinker shows consistent improvements across a range of multimodal reasoning benchmarks with an average gain of 2.1%, showcasing the broad benefits of equipping MLLMs with the ability to rethink both what they see and how they think. Data, model, and code are available at https://github.com/jefferyZhan/GThinker.

Generative AI is widely used to create commercial posters. However, rapid advances in generation have outpaced automated quality assessment. Existing models emphasize generic esthetics or low level distortions and lack the functional criteria required for e-commerce design. It is especially challenging for Chinese content, where complex characters often produce subtle but critical textual artifacts that are overlooked by existing methods. To address this, we introduce E-comIQ-ZH, a framework for evaluating Chinese e-commerce posters. We build the first dataset E-comIQ-18k to feature multi dimensional scores and expert calibrated Chain of Thought (CoT) rationales. Using this dataset, we train E-comIQ-M, a specialized evaluation model that aligns with human expert judgment. Our framework enables E-comIQ-Bench, the first automated and scalable benchmark for the generation of Chinese e-commerce posters. Extensive experiments show our E-comIQ-M aligns more closely with expert standards and enables scalable automated assessment of e-commerce posters. All datasets, models, and evaluation tools will be released to support future research in this area.

The rapid advancement of AIGC-based video generation has underscored the critical need for comprehensive evaluation frameworks that go beyond traditional generation quality metrics to encompass aesthetic appeal. However, existing benchmarks remain largely focused on technical fidelity, leaving a significant gap in holistic assessment--particularly with respect to perceptual and artistic qualities. To address this limitation, we introduce VGA-Bench, a unified benchmark for joint evaluation of video generation quality and aesthetic quality. VGA-Bench is built upon a principled three-tier taxonomy: Aesthetic Quality, Aesthetic Tagging, and Generation Quality, each decomposed into multiple fine-grained sub-dimensions to enable systematic assessment. Guided by this taxonomy, we design 1,016 diverse prompts and generate a large-scale dataset of over 60,000 videos using 12 video generation models, ensuring broad coverage across content, style, and artifacts. To enable scalable and automated evaluation, we annotate a subset of the dataset via human labeling and develop three dedicated multi-task neural assessors: VAQA-Net for aesthetic quality prediction, VTag-Net for automatic aesthetic tagging, and VGQA-Net for generation and basic quality attributes. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our models achieve reliable alignment with human judgments, offering both accuracy and efficiency. We release VGA-Bench as a public benchmark to foster research in AIGC evaluation, with applications in content moderation, model debugging, and generative model optimization.

High-quality and carefully curated data is a cornerstone of training medical large language models, as it directly impacts both generalization and robustness to unseen clinical tasks. We investigate strategies for training and data curation to develop a robust multimodal reasoning model in the medical domain. Our work focuses on supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and explores data recipes that leverage structured reasoning traces. Using our proposed data recipe, we scale experiments to a dataset of over 8 million examples and 6.8 billion response tokens, achieving state-of-the-art performance among open-source models across diverse out-of-distribution medical benchmark tasks. Our results further indicate that curating a high-quality, diverse training dataset with varying structured reasoning trace lengths enables the fine-tuned model to self-calibrate its reasoning trajectory lengths based on the downstream task, without explicit supervision. We present key insights, describe the data curation strategy, and outline next steps toward developing robust medical vision-language reasoning systems.

Frequent and precise land surface monitoring is critical for numerous applications, yet existing satellites struggle to achieve both simultaneously. Spatiotemporal fusion (STF) tackles this challenge by integrating multiple satellite images to generate data with improved temporal and spatial resolution, enabling more frequent and precise land surface observations. However, current methods often fail to recover dynamic landscape changes due to significant scale discrepancies among multi-source images. To address these challenges, we propose a semantic-adaptive diffusion framework for dynamic spatiotemporal fusion (SA-STF), which constrains the solution space using low-resolution and high-frequency features decoupled via a Taylor-inspired decoder. By incorporating temporal feature alignment and semantic-adaptive fusion modules, SA-STF projects multimodal images with temporal dynamics into a unified latent space, and adaptively enhances spatial details while maintaining the spectral consistency of the reconstructed images. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that SA-STF outperforms existing methods in both quantitative and qualitative evaluations, particularly in complex and dynamic scenes.

High-quality benchmarks are crucial for driving progress in machine learning research. However, despite the growing interest in video generation, there is no comprehensive dataset to evaluate human synthesis. Humans can perform a wide variety of actions and interactions, but existing datasets, like TikTok, TED-Talks, and HumanVid, lack the diversity and complexity to fully capture the capabilities of video generation models. We close this gap by introducing 'What Are You Doing?' (WYD): a new benchmark for fine-grained evaluation of controllable image-to-video generation of humans. WYD consists of 1,544 captioned videos that have been meticulously collected and annotated with fine-grained categories. These allow us to systematically measure performance across 9 aspects of human generation, including actions, interactions and motion. We also propose an evaluation framework, where we adapt existing metrics for better human- and video-level assessment, as shown by human preference. Equipped with our dataset and metrics, we perform in-depth analyses of state-of-the-art open-source models in controllable image-to-video generation, showing how WYD provides novel insights about their capabilities. We release data and code to drive progress in human video generation.

Synthetic datasets are a crucial ingredient for training stereo matching networks, but the question of what makes a stereo dataset effective remains underexplored. We investigate the design space of synthetic datasets by varying the parameters of a procedural dataset generator, and report the effects on zero-shot stereo matching performance using standard benchmarks. We validate our findings by collecting the best settings and creating a large-scale dataset. Training only on this dataset achieves better performance than training on a mixture of widely used datasets, and is competitive with training on the FoundationStereo dataset, with the additional benefit of open-source generation code and an accompanying parameter analysis to enable further research. We open-source our system to enable further research on procedural stereo datasets.

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) for videos and 1D time-series data faces significant challenges due to domain shifts in terms of both temporal dynamics and feature distributions. Existing UDA approaches for time-series data often address temporal alignment and uncertainty mitigation as separate objectives, leading to unstable training, noisy pseudo-labels, and incomplete feature transfer. This disjoint treatment fails to capture inter-channel causal dependencies and also overlooks the impact of prediction uncertainty on adaptation quality. This limits the transferability of learned representations and results in suboptimal adaptation. To address the aforementioned limitations, we propose a novel UDA framework, named Causally-Regularized Optimal Transport (in short Causal-OT), that preserves domain-invariant causal mechanisms by embedding causal graph regularization into robust OT alignment process. First we estimate inter-channel causal graphs in both source and target domains and learn a transport plan that not only aligns feature distributions but also improves interpretability and minimizes the discrepancy between causal structures of the Granger graphs. However, pseudo-labeling may still prone to error propagation allowing incorrect target predictions during self-training, degrading the model stability and transfer quality across domains. To mitigate this, we further introduce a causality-aware pseudo-labeling strategy that selects high-confidence target samples based on both entropy and structural consistency with the causal graph of the source domain. This enhances robustness against pseudo-label noise.Extensive experiments on six time-series benchmarks achieving 4.5% gain in accuracy and a 3.8% improvement in F1-score. We conduct experiments on four benchmark video datasets that achieve a 2.5% gain in accuracy.

Panoptic occupancy prediction aims to jointly infer voxel-wise semantics and instance identities within a unified 3D scene representation. Nevertheless, progress in this field remains constrained by the absence of high-quality 3D mesh resources, instance-level annotations, and physically consistent occupancy datasets. Existing benchmarks typically provide incomplete and low-resolution geometry without instance-level annotations, limiting the development of models capable of achieving precise geometric reconstruction, reliable occlusion reasoning, and holistic 3D understanding. To address these challenges, this paper presents an instance-centric benchmark for the 3D panoptic occupancy prediction task. Specifically, we introduce ADMesh, the first unified 3D mesh library tailored for autonomous driving, which integrates over 15K high-quality 3D models with diverse textures and rich semantic annotations. Building upon ADMesh, we further construct CarlaOcc, a large-scale, physically consistent panoptic occupancy dataset generated using the CARLA simulator. This dataset contains over 100K frames with fine-grained, instance-level occupancy ground truth at voxel resolutions as fine as 0.05 m. Furthermore, standardized evaluation metrics are introduced to quantify the quality of existing occupancy datasets. Finally, a systematic benchmark of representative models is established on the proposed dataset, which provides a unified platform for fair comparison and reproducible research in the field of 3D panoptic perception. Code and dataset are available at https://mias.group/CarlaOcc.
