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.

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. The code is available at https://github.com/Zhonghaifeng6/GraspALL

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.

Continual Visual Question Answering (Continual VQA) poses unique challenges for multimodal continual learning, requiring models to incrementally acquire new knowledge while preserving visual-semantic grounding across tasks. However, existing benchmarks hinder fair and robust evaluation of such capabilities, as they allow models to exploit dataset biases rather than demonstrate genuine continual reasoning. We identify two structural flaws in current benchmark design. First, shared answer vocabularies across tasks encourage answer memorization, inflating performance and underestimating forgetting. Second, static answer priors within each task make the training and test answer distributions nearly identical, obscuring robustness under distribution shifts. To address these issues, we introduce UCo-VQA, an Unbiased benchmark suite that enforces token-level disjoint answer spaces across tasks and introduces intra-task train-test distribution shifts, enabling fairer assessment of forgetting and generalization in multimodal continual learning. We further provide a parameter-efficient baseline that mitigates forgetting and enhances grounding through question-only replay and dual-level distillation, offering a lightweight and memory-efficient framework for continual adaptation. Extensive experiments on UCo-VQA reveal that prior methods substantially overestimate performance under biased setups, while our approach achieves state-of-the-art results, improving robustness and retention by up to 4.18% and 2.21%, respectively.

Advances in generative modeling have made it increasingly easy to fabricate realistic portrayals of individuals, creating serious risks for security, communication, and public trust. Detecting such person-driven manipulations requires systems that not only distinguish altered content from authentic media but also provide clear and reliable reasoning. In this paper, we introduce TriDF, a comprehensive benchmark for interpretable DeepFake detection. TriDF contains high-quality forgeries from advanced synthesis models, covering 16 DeepFake types across image, video, and audio modalities. The benchmark evaluates three key aspects: Perception, which measures the ability of a model to identify fine-grained manipulation artifacts using human-annotated evidence; Detection, which assesses classification performance across diverse forgery families and generators; and Hallucination, which quantifies the reliability of model-generated explanations. Experiments on state-of-the-art multimodal large language models show that accurate perception is essential for reliable detection, but hallucination can severely disrupt decision-making, revealing the interdependence of these three aspects. TriDF provides a unified framework for understanding the interaction between detection accuracy, evidence identification, and explanation reliability, offering a foundation for building trustworthy systems that address real-world synthetic media threats.

Embodied Question Answering (EQA) connects perception, reasoning, and interaction within embodied environments. However, existing datasets and benchmarks remain fragmented, each focusing on a limited subset of reasoning skills such as spatial understanding or procedural reasoning, without offering a unified large-scale framework for comprehensive evaluation. We present EQA-Decision, a large-scale embodied QA dataset that systematically covers four complementary dimensions of embodied reasoning: static scene construction, spatial understanding, task dynamics reasoning, and instant decision. The dataset contains over four million question-answer pairs with hierarchical annotations across diverse embodied scenarios. In addition, we develop RoboDecision, a strong baseline model aligned with the EQA-Decision Benchmark, providing a unified framework that jointly evaluates perception, reasoning, and action-level decision-making in embodied environments. Results demonstrate that EQA-Decision effectively benchmarks and enhances VLM capabilities in spatial and interaction reasoning, providing a solid foundation for advancing embodied intelligence research.

Synthesizing text-driven 3D human motion within realistic scenes requires learning both semantic intent ("walk to the couch") and physical feasibility (e.g., avoiding collisions). Current methods use generative frameworks that simultaneously learn high-level planning and low-level contact reasoning, and rely on computationally expensive 3D scene data such as point clouds or voxel occupancy grids. We propose SceMoS, a scene-aware motion synthesis framework that shows that structured 2D scene representations can serve as a powerful alternative to full 3D supervision in physically grounded motion synthesis. SceMoS disentangles global planning from local execution using lightweight 2D cues and relying on (1) a text-conditioned autoregressive global motion planner that operates on a bird's-eye-view (BEV) image rendered from an elevated corner of the scene, encoded with DINOv2 features, as the scene representation, and (2) a geometry-grounded motion tokenizer trained via a conditional VQ-VAE, that uses 2D local scene heightmap, thus embedding surface physics directly into a discrete vocabulary. This 2D factorization reaches an efficiency-fidelity trade-off: BEV semantics capture spatial layout and affordance for global reasoning, while local heightmaps enforce fine-grained physical adherence without full 3D volumetric reasoning. SceMoS achieves state-of-the-art motion realism and contact accuracy on the TRUMANS benchmark, reducing the number of trainable parameters for scene encoding by over 50%, showing that 2D scene cues can effectively ground 3D human-scene interaction.

We study instruction-guided editing of egocentric videos for interactive AR applications. While recent AI video editors perform well on third-person footage, egocentric views present unique challenges -- including rapid egomotion, and frequent hand-object interactions -- that create a significant domain gap. Moreover, existing offline editing pipelines suffer from high latency, limiting real-time interaction.To address these issues, we present a complete ecosystem for egocentric video editing. First, we construct EgoEditData, a carefully designed and manually curated dataset specifically designed for egocentric editing scenarios, featuring rich hand-object interactions, while explicitly preserving hands. Second, we develop EgoEdit, an instruction-following egocentric video editor that supports real-time streaming inference on a single GPU. Finally, we introduce EgoEditBench, an evaluation suite targeting instruction faithfulness, hand and interaction preservation, and temporal stability under egomotion.Across both egocentric and general editing tasks, EgoEdit produces temporally stable, instruction-faithful results with interactive latency. It achieves clear gains on egocentric editing benchmarks--where existing methods struggle--while maintaining performance comparable to the strongest baselines on general editing tasks. EgoEditData and EgoEditBench will be made public for the research community.

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the clinical gold standard for assessing cardiovascular diseases, but its interpretation relies on expert experience and remains challenging, particularly for identifying rare diseases. Existing automated methods lack interpretable reasoning processes, limiting clinical adoption. Although vision-language models (VLMs) possess basic visual understanding and text generation capabilities, they still lack verifiable reasoning chains in medical diagnosis and underperform on minority classes in long-tail distributions. To address these challenges, we propose CMR-RD, to our knowledge the first VLM for interpretable diagnosis in CMR, capable of generating explicit diagnostic chains aligned with imaging evidence. We construct a CMR dataset that reflects real-world clinical distributions, comprising five disease categories (including two rare conditions) plus normal controls. Building on this, the general-purpose VLM is aligned to medical and CMR semantics using large-scale medical vision-text data, and cold-start training is used to enhance its understanding of medical concepts and basic reasoning. To enhance reasoning and performance on rare samples, we propose Group Phase Policy Optimization (GPPO), which combines online multi-stage reinforcement learning (RL) with adaptive sampling. GPPO enables the model to proactively explore rare and underperforming classes, thereby effectively mitigating long-tail bias. Experiments demonstrate that CMR-RD achieves highly competitive accuracy and reasoning-chain correctness compared with medical and general VLMs, shows stronger recognition of rare categories.
