Reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved great success in dexterous grasping, significantly improving grasp performance and generalization from simulation to the real world. However, fine-grained functional grasping, which is essential for downstream manipulation tasks, remains underexplored and faces several challenges: the complexity of specifying goals and reward functions for functional grasps across diverse objects, the difficulty of multi-task RL exploration, and the challenge of sim-to-real transfer. In this work, we propose DemoFunGrasp for universal dexterous functional grasping. We factorize functional grasping conditions into two complementary components -- grasping style and affordance -- and integrate them into an RL framework that can learn to grasp any object with any functional grasping condition. To address the multi-task optimization challenge, we leverage a single grasping demonstration and reformulate the RL problem as one-step demonstration editing, substantially enhancing sample efficiency and performance.Experimental results in both simulation and the real world show that DemoFunGrasp generalizes to unseen combinations of objects, affordances, and grasping styles, outperforming baselines in both success rate and functional grasping accuracy. In addition to strong sim-to-real capability, by incorporating a vision-language model (VLM) for planning, our system achieves autonomous instruction-following grasp execution.

The task of video geolocalization aims to determine the precise GPS coordinates of a video's origin and map its trajectory; with applications in forensics, social media, and exploration. Existing classification-based approaches operate at a coarse city-level granularity and fail to capture fine-grained details, while image retrieval methods are impractical on a global scale due to the need for extensive image galleries which are infeasible to compile. Comparatively, constructing a gallery of GPS coordinates is straightforward and inexpensive. We propose VidTAG, a dual-encoder framework that performs frame-to-GPS retrieval using both self-supervised and language-aligned features. To address temporal inconsistencies in video predictions, we introduce the TempGeo module, which aligns frame embeddings, and the GeoRefiner module, an encoder-decoder architecture that refines GPS features using said aligned frame embeddings. Evaluations on Mapillary (MSLS) and GAMa datasets demonstrate our model's ability to generate temporally consistent trajectories and outperform baselines, achieving a 20% improvement at the 1 km threshold over GeoCLIP. We also beat current State-of-the-Art by 25% on global coarse grained video geolocalization (CityGuessr68k). Our approach enables fine-grained video geolocalization and lays a strong foundation for future research. More details on the project webpage: parthpk.github.io/vidtag webpage.

Self-supervised learning on images seeks to extract meaningful visual representations from unlabeled data. When scaled to large datasets, this paradigm has achieved state-of-the-art performance and the resulting trained models such as DINOv3 have seen widespread adoption. However, most prior efforts are optimized for semantic understanding rather than geometric reasoning. One important exception is Cross-View Completion, CroCo, which is a form of masked autoencoding (MAE) tailored for 3D understanding. In this work, we continue on the path proposed by CroCo and focus on learning features tailored for 3D vision. In a nutshell, we extend MAE to arbitrarily many views of the same scene. By uniformly masking all views and employing a lightweight decoder with inter-frame attention, our approach is inherently simpler and more scalable than CroCo. We evaluate the resulting model, MuM, extensively on downstream tasks including feedforward reconstruction, dense image matching and relative pose estimation, finding that it outperforms the state-of-the-art visual encoders DINOv3 and CroCo v2.

Current advancements in human motion understanding are strongly reliant on video data. Nevertheless, privacy regulations and operational constraints increasingly restrict the use of visual data in real-world scenarios. Inferring posture through wearable sensors, such as instrumented insoles measuring plantar activation, presents itself as a promising alternative. However, the absence of large-scale multimodal datasets hinders the rigorous benchmarking of these methodologies. We introduce HUMAPS-4D, a novel multimodal dataset designed for human motion analysis, effectively bridging computer vision and biomechanics. This dataset integrates synchronized motion capture, multi-view video, IMUs, plantar pressure signals, sEMG activation patterns, and high-level semantic annotations. The data was collected from 32 subjects performing 30 actions over a total duration of 14 hours. Participants demonstrate substantial anthropometric variability (age, body proportions, and morphology), which supports robust generalization across diverse body types. Distinct from existing resources, this collection offers a unique pairing of low-level physiological signals and high-level human motor descriptors. This capability enables the development of generative and inference models conditioned by both physical and semantic constraints, while simultaneously reducing the reliance on personally identifiable visual data. We establish benchmark tasks specifically targeting posture reconstruction from plantar pressure, semantic motion segmentation, physics-informed motricity analysis, and multimodal fusion under privacy-preserving conditions. The dataset, along with its associated annotation tools and visualization utilities, is scheduled for online release soon.

Accurate and interpretable medical image segmentation remains a major challenge, as existing deep learning models primarily optimize pixel-level accuracy while overlooking positional reasoning--an essential component for automated report generation and clinical interpretability. We introduce CG-Reasoner, a novel centroid-guided cross-modal framework that jointly performs medical image segmentation and positional reasoning. CG-Reasoner integrates a multimodal large language model (LLM), a newly designed light-weight encoder-decoder architecture, and a Text2Centroid module that predicts lesion centroids from reasoning embeddings--enabling the model to produce both accurate segmentation masks and spatially coherent, clinically meaningful reasoning explanations. Furthermore, we propose PRScore (Positional-Reasoning Score), a robust evaluation metric that jointly measures the spatial and semantic alignment between generated reasoning text and segmentation masks. Experiments on six medical datasets across different imaging modalities demonstrate that CG-Reasoner achieves state-of-the-art performance, offering precise segmentation, spatially coherent reasoning, and clinically interpretable visual-textual explanations within a unified framework.

Despite their impressive performance in multi-label classification of chest X-ray images (CXR), deep learning models are widely plagued by two types of spurious correlations: feature confounding arising from pathological co-occurrence and shortcut learning triggered by non-pathological visual confounders. These non-causal dependencies severely undermine the interpretability and robustness of models in real-world clinical settings. To address these challenges, we propose the Dual Adjustment Reasoning with Counterfactuals for Trustworthy Chest X-ray Classification (DARC) framework, the first to synergistically decouple both types of confounding sources from a causal mechanism perspective. At the data level, we construct CheXconf, the first pixel-level annotation dataset of non-pathological visual confounders in CXR, comprising 40,213 annotated instances across 11 categories. This provides a solid foundation for accurately modeling these confounders. At the methodological level, we design a novel dual-stream causal learning architecture. Its Global Stream leverages the back-door adjustment criterion with CheXconf to explicitly block spurious paths from non-pathological confounders. Concurrently, the Local Stream employs counterfactual reasoning, constrained by anatomical priors, to disentangle the visual coupling of co-occurring pathologies. Experiments on large-scale public benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves significant improvements in task performance, interpretability, and robustness.

Recent advances in vision-language models (VLMs) have revealed both the promise and the rigidity of large-scale pretraining. Despite their impressive zero-shot generalization, existing adaptation paradigms--whether prompt-tuning, adapter injection, or fine-tuning--remain class-specific, modality-biased, and structure-agnostic. However, these design choices limit reasoning-level transfer across tasks. To this end, we rethink adaptation as a shared conceptual structure rather than a per-class specialization. We propose CASPA (Concept-Anchored Semantic Prompt Adapter), a dual-anchor semantic adapter that jointly learns shared text and image anchors as a bidirectional conceptual interface between modalities. Each class learns a soft association distribution over these anchors, producing compositional representations which enable parameter sharing and semantic reuse. To further align visual and textual reasoning spaces, CASPA employs Semantic Cross-Consistency Regularization (S-XCR), enforcing geometric and semantic agreement between text- and image-conditioned anchor mixtures. CASPA, therefore, provides a structurally constrained alternative to class-conditional prompt parameterization while keeping the CLIP backbone frozen. Evaluated across four regimes, Base-to-Novel setup, cross-data transfer, few-shot, and backbone-agnostic evaluations, on eleven diverse visual recognition datasets, CASPA matches or outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

Test-Time Training (TTT) has recently emerged as a promising direction for efficient sequence modeling. TTT reformulates attention operation as an online learning problem, constructing a compact inner model from key-value pairs at test time. This reformulation opens a rich and flexible design space while achieving linear computational complexity. However, crafting a powerful visual TTT design remains challenging: fundamental choices for the inner module and inner training lack comprehensive understanding and practical guidelines. To bridge this critical gap, in this paper, we present a systematic empirical study of TTT designs for visual sequence modeling. From a series of experiments and analyses, we distill six practical insights that establish design principles for effective visual TTT and illuminate paths for future improvement. These findings culminate in the Vision Test-Time Training (ViT^3) model, a pure TTT architecture that achieves linear complexity and parallelizable computation. We evaluate ViT^3 across diverse visual tasks, including image classification, image generation, object detection, and semantic segmentation. Results show that ViT^3 consistently matches or outperforms advanced linear-complexity models (e.g., Mamba and linear attention variants) and effectively narrows the gap to highly optimized vision Transformers. We hope this study and the ViT^3 baseline can facilitate future work on visual TTT models. Code: github.com/LeapLabTHU/ViTTT.

Open-vocabulary change detection (OVCD) seeks to recognize arbitrary changes of interest by enabling generalization beyond a fixed set of predefined classes. We reformulate OVCD as a two-stage pipeline: first generate class-agnostic change proposals using visual foundation models (VFMs) such as SAM and DINOv2, and then perform category identification with vision-language models (VLMs) such as CLIP. We reveal that category identification errors are the primary bottleneck of OVCD, mainly due to the limited ability of VLMs based on image-text matching to represent fine-grained land-cover categories. To address this, we propose OpenDPR, a training-free vision-centric diffusion-guided prototype retrieval framework. OpenDPR leverages diffusion models to construct diverse prototypes for target categories offline, and to perform similarity retrieval with change proposals in the visual space during inference. The secondary bottleneck lies in change localization, due to the inherent lack of change priors in VFMs. To bridge this gap, we design a spatial-to-change weakly supervised change detection module named S2C to adapt their strong spatial modeling capabilities for change localization. Integrating the pretrained S2C into OpenDPR leads to an optional weakly supervised variant named OpenDPR-W, which further improves OVCD with minimal supervision. Experimental results on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed methods achieve state-of-the-art performance under both supervision modes. Code is available at https://github.com/guoqi2002/OpenDPR.

Recent work in 3D scene understanding is moving beyond purely spatial analysis toward functional scene understanding. However, existing methods often consider functional relationships between object pairs in isolation, failing to capture the scene-wide interdependence that humans use to resolve ambiguity. We introduce FunFact, a framework for constructing probabilistic open-vocabulary functional 3D scene graphs from posed RGB-D images. FunFact first builds an object- and part-centric 3D map and uses foundation models to propose semantically plausible functional relations. These candidates are converted into factor graph variables and constrained by both LLM-derived common-sense priors and geometric priors. This formulation enables joint probabilistic inference over all functional edges and their marginals, yielding substantially better calibrated confidence scores. To benchmark this setting, we introduce FunThor, a synthetic dataset based on AI2-THOR with part-level geometry and rule-based functional annotations. Experiments on SceneFun3D, FunGraph3D, and FunThor show that FunFact improves node and relation discovery recall and significantly reduces calibration error for ambiguous relations, highlighting the benefits of holistic probabilistic modeling for functional scene understanding.

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) still lack robustness in spatial intelligence, demonstrating poor performance on spatial understanding and reasoning tasks. We attribute this gap to the absence of a visual geometry learning process capable of reconstructing 3D space from 2D images. We present G^2VLM, a geometry grounded vision-language model that bridges two fundamental aspects of spatial intelligence: spatial 3D reconstruction and spatial understanding. G^2VLM natively leverages learned 3D visual geometry features to directly predict 3D attributes and enhance spatial reasoning tasks via in-context learning and interleaved reasoning. Our unified design is highly scalable for spatial understanding: it trains on abundant multi-view image and video data, while simultaneously leveraging the benefits of 3D visual priors that are typically only derived from hard-to-collect annotations.Experimental results demonstrate G^2VLM is proficient in both tasks, achieving comparable results to state-of-the-art feed-forward 3D reconstruction models and achieving better or competitive results across spatial understanding and reasoning tasks.By unifying a semantically strong VLM with low-level 3D vision tasks, we hope G^2VLM can serve as a strong baseline for the community and unlock more future applications, such as 3D scene editing.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated promising advancements in augmenting the capabilities of LLMs to comprehend visual input. However, modality misalignment between vision and text remains a key challenge in MLLM, which can be attributed to two aspects: misalignment of modality-specific representations and depletion of modality-specific details. To address the issue of modality misalignment, we propose DeepAlign, a novel multimodal alignment framework to mitigate modality conflict, which employs representation intervention and structure-induced knowledge distillation to prevent the misalignment and depletion of modality-specific information. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DeepAlign significantly mitigates modality conflicts, leading to substantial performance improvements compared to backbone models across multiple vision-language tasks. It also stimulates some emergent abilities in MLLMs, such as multimodal in-context learning on interleaved text-image sequences.

Prompt learning has emerged as an effective technique for fine-tuning large-scale foundation models for downstream tasks. However, conventional prompt learning methods are prone to overfitting and can struggle with out-of-distribution generalization. To address these limitations, Bayesian prompt learning has been proposed, which frames prompt optimization as a Bayesian inference problem to enhance robustness. This paper introduces Repulsive Bayesian Prompt Learning (ReBaPL), a novel method for Bayesian prompt learning, designed to efficiently explore the complex and often multimodal posterior landscape of prompts. Our method integrates a cyclical step-size schedule with a stochastic gradient Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (SGHMC) algorithm, enabling alternating phases of exploration to discover new modes, and exploitation to refine existing modes. Furthermore, we introduce a repulsive force derived from a potential function over probability metrics (including Maximum Mean Discrepancy and Wasserstein distance) computed on the distributions of representations produced by different prompts. This representation-space repulsion diversifies exploration and prevents premature collapse to a single mode. Our approach allows for a more comprehensive characterization of the prompt posterior distribution, leading to improved generalization. In contrast to prior Bayesian prompt learning methods, our method provides a modular plug-and-play Bayesian extension of any existing prompt learning method based on maximum likelihood estimation. We demonstrate the efficacy of ReBaPL on several benchmark datasets, showing superior performance over state-of-the-art prompt learning methods.

Brain visual decoding aims to recognize and reconstruct perceptual visual content from brain activity, providing a promising potential for the development of brain-computer interfaces and brain-inspired intelligence. However, this task faces a fundamental challenge of information asymmetry: while natural images contain complex visual scenes with objects and backgrounds, the corresponding brain signals reflect focused attention on central objects while being contaminated by various neural noise. Previous methods that directly align visual and brain representations often overlook this inherent asymmetry, resulting in suboptimal decoding performance. To address this, we propose linguistic-prior-guided visual decoupling method, which introduces object-oriented textual descriptions as semantic guidance to explicitly decouple foreground objects from complex backgrounds in natural images. This design enables the model to automatically focus on task-relevant visual concepts while effectively filtering out irrelevant neural noise in brain signals, achieving a transition from asymmetric vision-brain alignment to semantic symmetric alignment. Extensive experiments on the THINGS-EEG and THINGS-MEG datasets demonstrate that our method achieves new state-of-the-art performance in the zero-shot brain-to-image retrieval task. The source code is available at https://github.com/TKQXX/BVSA.

Recent work has shown that eliciting Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate reasoning traces in natural language before answering the user's request can significantly improve their performance across tasks. This approach has been extended to multimodal LLMs, where the models can produce chains-of-thoughts (CoT) about the content of input images and videos. For video inputs, prior works use complex multi-step pipelines that extract and include relevant frames from videos in the CoT, or produce simpler single-stage reasoning traces at the expense of poor temporal grounding. Here, we propose the first video LLMs with single-stage reasoning that includes explicit references to relevant frames, thereby reducing temporal inconsistencies in the reasoning process. Our approach is simple, unified, and self-contained, employing a single-stage inference to handle complex video understanding tasks without relying on auxiliary modules for frame selection or caption generation. For this, we first create CoF-Data, a large dataset of diverse questions, answers, and corresponding frame-grounded reasoning traces from both natural and synthetic videos, spanning various topics and tasks. Our models, obtained by fine-tuning video LLMs on this chain-of-frames (CoF) data, generate reasoning traces that accurately identify key frames to answer given questions. In turn, this consistently improves performance across multiple video understanding benchmarks. Surprisingly, we find that synthetic data alone, despite being out-of-distribution with respect to these real-world benchmarks, provides a significant boost in model accuracy.

While the most fundamental pretraining paradigm typically trains modality-specific models on their respective datasets, the Platonic Representation Hypothesis that representations eventually align across modalities as data and model scale suggests an intriguing possibility: large language models (LLMs) could be pretrained on visual corpora to reach parity with text-pretrained models, thereby expanding data sources to break the text-scaling bottlenecks, and leveraging richer visual cues for more comprehensive corpus understanding. This paper makes the first attempt to demonstrate the feasibility of this implication by introducing Masked Autoregressive Pretraining for Learning language intelligencE (MAPLE), a novel visual pretraining paradigm for LLMs that leverages raw document images to improve language intelligence. MAPLE is universal to integrate masked auto-regressive models with various LLM backbones, where the LLMs are incentivized to generate latent hypotheses for the masked regions based on the unmasked regions. We verify MAPLE in the domain of math reasoning with multiple LLM backbones and show that MAPLE consistently surpasses text-only pretraining relatively by at most 40.2% on average accuracy across four math reasoning benchmarks. Further analyses show that visually pretrained LLMs learn a shared latent space that aligns document visuals with text and exploits layout and structural cues, supporting visual pretraining as a feasible and scalable route to stronger language models.

Despite remarkable advancements in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), their fine-grained visual understanding is constrained by a primary reliance on sparse textual supervision. Existing efforts to introduce visual supervision typically do so during post-training, when visual representations have already been largely fixed, causing such signals to act mainly as auxiliary constraints rather than as a primary force for shaping perceptual features. In this paper, we aim to fundamentally reshape the model's perceptual backbone by incorporating vision supervision directly into the pre-training stage. We observe that pixel-level image patches and textual tokens naturally coexist in a shared, raw high-dimensional space characterized by an inherent input symmetry. Leveraging this insight, we propose UVU, a novel vision-language unified autoregressive framework that eschews vector quantization. It uniquely employs continuous visual encoding for lossless representation of visual inputs and proposes a large-scale iterative hierarchical clustering algorithm to construct a pixel-level visual codebook, thereby extending the vocabulary for unified supervision and enabling autoregressive generation of pixel-level image tokens alongside textual tokens. UVU effectively synergizes pixel-level visual perception with semantic-level visual understanding, internalizing visual reconstruction capabilities and unlocking the facilitative role of visual supervision in enhancing understanding in the pre-training stage. Extensive experiments across multiple tasks demonstrate that MLLMs are capable of achieving superior multimodal understanding performance under the supervised learning paradigm of UVU.

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) often over-rely on linguistic priors even when images are provided, leading to object hallucinations. We revisit object-wise hallucination from the perspective of how visual evidence shapes the model's uncertainty. For each input, we measure decision uncertainty with and without the image, and define a Visual Evidence Sensitivity (VES) signal as the image-attributable change in entropy. Building on this signal, we introduce Visual Evidence Sensitivity Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (VES-RFT), a training-time reinforcement fine-tuning method that explicitly rewards reliance on correct visual evidence. We pair this continuous, annotation-free signal with a verifiable reward that enforces factual object correctness by automatically checking generated object mentions against the image, yielding a computable objective without human annotations. We optimize the dual objective using critic-free GRPO with KL regularization, requiring only parallel image and no-image passes during training while preserving single-pass inference. Across multiple VLM families and benchmarks, VES-RFT consistently suppresses object hallucinations and improves robustness under ambiguity. Specifically, on LLaVA-7B, VES-RFT reduces 12.8 and 1.8 on CHAIR_S/CHAIR_I of MS-COCO, and increases POPE accuracy by 4.92%. Extensive experiments indicate that turning uncertainty into a learnable reward, paired with verifiable correctness signals, provides a scalable mechanism for training-time hallucination mitigation and stronger visual grounding.

Image quality assessment (IQA) and image restoration are fundamental problems in low-level vision. Although IQA and restoration are closely connected conceptually, most existing work treats them in isolation. Recent advances in unified multimodal understanding-generation models demonstrate promising results and indicate that stronger understanding can improve generative performance. This motivates a single model that unifies IQA and restoration and explicitly studies how IQA can guide restoration, a setting that remains largely underexplored yet highly valuable. In this paper, we propose UARE, to our knowledge the first Unified vision-language model for image quality Assessment, Restoration, and Enhancement. Built on pretrained unified understanding and generation models, we introduce a two-stage training framework. First, a progressive, easy-to-hard schedule expands from single-type distortions to higher-order mixed degradations, enabling UARE to handle multiple degradations. Second, we perform unified fine-tuning of quality understanding and restoration with interleaved text-image data, aligning IQA signals with restoration objectives. Through multi-task co-training, UARE leverages IQA to boost restoration and enhancement performance. Extensive experiments across IQA, restoration, and enhancement tasks demonstrate the effectiveness of UARE. The code and models will be made available.
