We study the task of establishing object-level visual correspondence across different viewpoints in videos, focusing on the challenging egocentric-to-exocentric and exocentric-to-egocentric scenarios. We propose a simple yet effective framework based on conditional binary segmentation, where an object query mask is encoded into a latent representation to guide the localization of the corresponding object in a target video. To encourage robust, view-invariant representations, we introduce a cycle-consistency training objective: the predicted mask in the target view is projected back to the source view to reconstruct the original query mask. This bidirectional constraint provides a strong self-supervisory signal without requiring ground-truth annotations and enables test-time training (TTT) at inference. Experiments on the Ego-Exo4D and HANDAL-X benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of our optimization objective and TTT strategy, achieving state-of-the-art performance.

Modern deep learning faces significant challenges with noisy labels, class ambiguity, as well as the need to robustly reject out-of-distribution or corrupted samples. In this work, we propose a unified framework based on the concept of a "drainage node" which we add at the output of the network. The node serves to reallocate probability mass toward uncertainty, while preserving desirable properties such as end-to-end training and differentiability. This mechanism provides a natural escape route for highly ambiguous, anomalous, or noisy samples, particularly relevant for instance-dependent and asymmetric label noise. In systematic experiments involving the addition of varying proportions of instance-dependent noise or asymmetric noise to CIFAR-10/100 labels, our drainage formulation achieves an accuracy increase of up to 10% over existing approaches in the high-noise regime. Our results on real-world datasets, such as mini-WebVision, mini-ImageNet and Clothing-1M, match or surpass existing state-of-the-art methods. Qualitative analysis reveals a denoising effect, where the drainage neuron consistently absorbs corrupt, mislabeled, or outlier data, leading to more stable decision boundaries. Furthermore, our drainage formulation enables applications well beyond classification, with immediate benefits for web-scale, semi-supervised dataset cleaning, and open-set applications.

Three-dimensional molecular representation learning has shown great promise in modeling chemical structures and their properties. However, most existing approaches implicitly assume molecules are at or near equilibrium states. This assumption breaks down for non-equilibrium structures--ubiquitous in molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories--where standard coordinate denoising techniques fail because the direct equivalence between denoising scores and atomic forces no longer holds. To bridge this gap, we propose Node Denoising on non-Equilibrium Molecules (NDeM), a novel auxiliary task grounded in a second-order finite difference approximation of the potential energy surface. By explicitly accounting for the non-zero inherent forces in non-equilibrium states, NDeM provides a theoretically sound denoising objective applicable to arbitrary molecular conformations. Crucially, our method is designed as a lightweight, architecture-agnostic plugin that requires no pre-training and can be seamlessly integrated into various supervised learning pipelines. Extensive experiments across diverse benchmarks, including MD17, QM9, and the large-scale OC20 dataset, demonstrate that NDeM consistently improves baseline models, yielding highly competitive performance and validating its robustness across both equilibrium and non-equilibrium regimes.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have significantly advanced vision-language understanding. However, even state-of-the-art models struggle with geometric reasoning, revealing a critical bottleneck: the extreme scarcity of high-quality image-text pairs. Human annotation is prohibitively expensive, while automated methods fail to ensure both fidelity and training effectiveness. Existing approaches either passively adapt to available images or employ inefficient random exploration with post-hoc filtering, decoupling generation from learning needs. We propose Socratic-Geo, a fully autonomous framework that dynamically couples data synthesis with model learning through multi-agent interaction. The Teacher agent generates parameterized Python scripts with reflective feedback (Reflect for solvability, RePI for visual validity), ensuring image-text pair purity. The Solver agent optimizes reasoning through preference learning, with failure paths guiding Teacher's targeted augmentation. Independently, the Generator learns image generation capabilities on accumulated "image-code-instruction" triplets, distilling programmatic drawing intelligence into visual generation. Starting from only 108 seed problems, Socratic-Solver achieves 49.11 on six geometric benchmarks using one-quarter of baseline data, surpassing strong baselines by 2.43 points. Socratic-Generator achieves 42.4% on GenExam, establishing new state-of-the-art for open-source models, surpassing Seedream-4.0 (39.8%) and approaching Gemini-2.5-Flash-Image (43.1%).

With the rapid advancement of deepfake technology, malicious face manipulations pose a significant threat to personal privacy and social security. However, existing proactive forensics methods typically treat deepfake detection, tampering localization, and source tracing as independent tasks, lacking a unified framework to address them jointly. To bridge this gap, we propose a unified proactive forensics framework that jointly addresses these three core tasks. Our core framework adopts an innovative 152-dimensional landmark-identity watermark termed LIDMark, which structurally interweaves facial landmarks with a unique source identifier. To robustly extract the LIDMark, we design a novel Factorized-Head Decoder (FHD). Its architecture factorizes the shared backbone features into two specialized heads (i.e., regression and classification), robustly reconstructing the embedded landmarks and identifier, respectively, even when subjected to severe distortion or tampering. This design realizes an "all-in-one" trifunctional forensic solution: the regression head underlies an "intrinsic-extrinsic" consistency check for detection and localization, while the classification head robustly decodes the source identifier for tracing. Extensive experiments show that the proposed LIDMark framework provides a unified, robust, and imperceptible solution for the detection, localization, and tracing of deepfake content. The code is available at https://github.com/vpsg-research/LIDMark.

Fine-tuning large-scale text-to-video diffusion models to add new generative controls, such as those over physical camera parameters (e.g., shutter speed or aperture), typically requires vast, high-fidelity datasets that are difficult to acquire. In this work, we propose a data-efficient fine-tuning strategy that learns these controls from sparse, low-quality synthetic data. We show that not only does fine-tuning on such simple data enable the desired controls, it actually yields superior results to models fine-tuned on photorealistic "real" data. Beyond demonstrating these results, we provide a framework that justifies this phenomenon both intuitively and quantitatively.

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) project visual tokens into the embedding space of language models, yet the internal structuring and processing of visual semantics remain poorly understood. In this work, we introduce a two-fold analytical framework featuring a novel probing tool, EmbedLens, to conduct a fine-grained analysis. We uncover a pronounced semantic sparsity at the input level: visual tokens consistently partition into sink, dead, and alive categories. Remarkably, only the alive tokens, comprising ~60% of the total input, carry image-specific meaning. Furthermore, using a targeted patch-compression benchmark, we demonstrate that these alive tokens already encode rich, fine-grained cues (e.g., objects, colors, and OCR) prior to entering the LLM. Internal visual computations (such as visual attention and feed-forward networks) are redundant for most standard tasks. For the small subset of highly vision-centric tasks that actually benefit from internal processing, we reveal that alive tokens naturally align with intermediate LLM layers rather than the initial embedding space, indicating that shallow-layer processing is unnecessary and that direct mid-layer injection is both sufficient. Ultimately, our findings provide a unified mechanistic view of visual token processing, paving the way for more efficient and interpretable MLLM architectures through selective token pruning, minimized visual computation, and mid-layer injection.

Federated Learning (FL) is a decentralized framework that not only enables collaborative training with different clients but also ensures their local data privacy. However, when deletion requests arise under privacy regulations, efficiently removing specific client data contributions from target clients can be challenging. Existing unlearning methods face significant limitations under Non-IID (Non-Independent and Identically Distributed) data distributions when attempting to unlearn specific target clients in FL. Models in sharp optimization regions can suffer catastrophic knowledge loss from minor parameter changes, exacerbating this forgetting due to conflicting parameter updates across clients caused by Non-IID data distributions in FL. Empirically, we observe that conflicting updates under Non-IID settings generate misaligned task vectors that fail to isolate target knowledge. Therefore, we exploit the loss landscape geometry in unlearning specific target clients. We demonstrate that migrating models to flat regions can enhance unlearning robustness in Non-IID FL. Correspondingly, we introduce GDFA, a framework that initially transitions the global model to a flat loss domain. Subsequently, relevant clients generate unlearning task vectors, which GDFA filters to retain only directionally consistent components. This process isolates shared knowledge attributes before precise removal through reverse vector aggregation, maximizing knowledge retention. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GDFA outperforms state-of-the-art methods in unlearning efficacy and efficiency across diverse datasets and architectures, with minimal accuracy loss on retained tasks.

Incremental open-vocabulary 3D instance-semantic mapping is essential for autonomous agents operating in complex everyday environments. However, it remains challenging due to the need for robust instance segmentation, real-time processing, and flexible open-set reasoning. Existing methods often rely on the closed-set assumption or dense per-pixel language fusion, which limits scalability and temporal consistency. We introduce OVI-MAP that decouples instance reconstruction from semantic inference. We propose to build a class-agnostic 3D instance map that is incrementally constructed from RGB-D input, while semantic features are extracted only from a small set of automatically selected views using vision-language models. This design enables stable instance tracking and zero-shot semantic labeling throughout online exploration. Our system operates in real time and outperforms state-of-the-art open-vocabulary mapping baselines on standard benchmarks.

Advanced autonomous systems rely on multi-sensor fusion for safer and more robust perception. To enable effective fusion, calibrating directly from natural driving scenes (i.e., target-free) with high accuracy is crucial for precise multi-sensor alignment. Existing learning-based calibration methods are typically designed for only a single pair of sensor modalities (i.e., a bi-modal setup). Unlike these methods, we propose LiREC-Net, a target-free, learning-based calibration network that jointly calibrates multiple sensor modality pairs, including LiDAR, RGB, and event data, within a unified framework. To reduce redundant computation and improve efficiency, we introduce a shared LiDAR representation that leverages features from both its 3D nature and projected depth map, ensuring better consistency across modalities. Trained and evaluated on established datasets, such as KITTI and DSEC, our LiREC-Net achieves competitive performance to bi-modal models and sets a new strong baseline for the tri-modal use case.

Video Temporal Grounding (VTG) aims to localize the video segment that corresponds to a natural language query, which requires a comprehensive understanding of complex temporal dynamics. Existing Vision-LMMs typically perceive temporal dynamics via positional encoding, text-based timestamps, or visual frame numbering. However, these approaches exhibit notable limitations: assigning each frame a text-based timestamp token introduces additional computational overhead and leads to sparsity in visual attention, positional encoding struggles to capture absolute temporal information, and visual frame numbering often compromises spatial detail. To address these issues, we propose Temporal to Spatial Gridification (T2SGrid), a novel framework that reformulates video temporal understanding as a spatial understanding task. The core idea of T2SGrid is to process video content in clips rather than individual frames. we employ a overlapping sliding windows mechanism to segment the video into temporal clips. Within each window, frames are arranged chronologically in a row-major order into a composite grid image, effectively transforming temporal sequences into structured 2D layouts. The gridification not only encodes temporal information but also enhances local attention within each grid. Furthermore, T2SGrid enables the use of composite text timestamps to establish global temporal awareness. Experiments on standard VTG benchmarks demonstrate that T2SGrid achieves superior performance.

Stereo image compression is essential for a wide range of 3D vision. Recent methods have demonstrated strong capabilities in eliminating inter-view redundancy and enabling compact entropy coding via spatial-domain stereo transformation and advanced autoregressive entropy models. However, these approaches often suffer from high-frequency information loss and incur considerable coding latency. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel frequency stereo context transfer (FSCT) module. Unlike spatial-domain methods, the FSCT module separately captures inter-view redundancy in high- and low-frequency components and dynamically balances their contributions to preserve reconstruction quality. In addition, we replace the conventional autoregressive framework with a checkerboard strategy and integrate the FSCT module to model inter-view priors, enabling faster and more efficient entropy coding. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art rate-distortion performance among existing stereo image compression approaches, while also attaining the lowest coding latency.

Ultra-low bitrate image compression (below 0.05 bits per pixel) is increasingly critical for bandwidth-constrained and computation-limited encoding scenarios such as edge devices. Existing frameworks typically rely on large pretrained encoders (e.g., VAEs or tokenizer-based models) and perform transform coding within their generative latent space. While these approaches achieve impressive perceptual fidelity, their reliance on heavy encoder networks makes them unsuitable for deployment on weak sender devices. In this work, we explore the feasibility of applying shallow encoders for ultra-low bitrate compression and propose a novel Asymmetric Extreme Image Compression (AEIC) framework that pursues simultaneously encoding simplicity and decoding quality. Specifically, AEIC employs moderate or even shallow encoder networks, while leveraging an one-step diffusion decoder to maintain high-fidelity and high-realism reconstructions under extreme bitrates. To further enhance the efficiency of shallow encoders, we design a dual-side feature distillation scheme that transfers knowledge from AEIC with moderate encoders to its shallow encoder variants. Experiments show that AEIC not only outperforms existing methods on rate-distortion-perception performance at ultra-low bitrates, but also delivers exceptional encoding efficiency for 35.8 FPS on 1080P images, while maintaining competitive decoding speed compared to existing methods. Code is available at https://github.com/LuizScarlet/AEIC.

Humans develop visual intelligence through perceiving and interacting with their environment--a self-supervised learning process grounded in egocentric experience. Inspired by this, we ask how can artificial systems learn stable object representations from continuous, uncurated first-person videos without relying on manual annotations. This setting poses challenges of separating, recognizing, and persistently tracking objects amid clutter, occlusion, and ego-motion. We propose EgoViT, a unified vision Transformer framework designed to learn stable object representations from unlabeled egocentric video. EgoViT bootstraps this learning process by jointly discovering and stabilizing "proto-objects" through three synergistic mechanisms: (1) Proto-object Learning, which uses intra-frame distillation to form discriminative representations; (2) Depth Regularization, which grounds these representations in geometric structure; and (3) Teacher-Filtered Temporal Consistency, which enforces identity over time. This creates a virtuous cycle where initial object hypotheses are progressively refined into stable, persistent representations. The framework is trained end-to-end on unlabeled first-person videos and exhibits robustness to geometric priors of varied origin and quality. On standard benchmarks, EgoViT achieves +8.0% CorLoc improvement in unsupervised object discovery and +4.8% mIoU improvement in semantic segmentation, demonstrating its potential to lay a foundation for robust visual abstraction in embodied intelligence.

Vision-language models (VLMs) such as CLIP exhibit strong Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection capabilities by aligning visual and textual representations. Recent CLIP-based test-time adaptation methods further improve detection performance by incorporating external OOD labels. However, such labels are finite and fixed, while the real OOD semantic space is inherently open-ended. Consequently, fixed labels fail to represent the diverse and evolving OOD semantics encountered in test streams.To address this limitation, we introduce Test-time Textual Learning (TTL), a framework that dynamically learns OOD textual semantics from unlabeled test streams, without relying on external OOD labels.TTL updates learnable prompts using pseudo-labeled test samples to capture emerging OOD knowledge. To suppress noise introduced by pseudo-labels, we introduce an OOD knowledge purification strategy that selects reliable OOD samples for adaptation while suppressing noise. In addition, TTL maintains an OOD Textual Knowledge Bank that stores high-quality textual features, providing stable score calibration across batches. Extensive experiments on two standard benchmarks with nine OOD datasets demonstrate that TTL consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance, highlighting the value of textual adaptation for robust test-time OOD detection. Our code is available at https://github.com/figec/TTL.

Detecting subtle visual anomalies in images remains challenging, particularly when only normal samples are available a priori. Such unsupervised anomaly detection is typically solved by measuring feature similarity of a query patch to a memory of normal patches. However, similarity alone does not reveal how strongly a query patch violates the structure of the normal feature manifold. We propose a training-free Laplacian graph energy optimization formulation, named ANoCo that scores Anomaly by the cost of Non-Conformity of a query patch to align with a fixed normal manifold. For each query patch, we construct a bipartite query to normal graph weighted by cosine affinity, explicitly removing query-query and normal-normal edges to prevent evidence dilution. We formulate anomaly scoring as a convex Laplacian energy with anchored normal nodes, and solve in closed form. In particular, we do not use the optimized features themselves--the anomaly score is the magnitude of the update required to satisfy normality constraints, reframing the graph Laplacian as a non-conformity operator rather than a smoothing prior. The proposed method introduces no learnable parameters, message passing, or sampling, and has complexity comparable to a single linear solve. Across standard benchmarks, it delivers strong image-level AUROC, stable localization maps, and improved robustness over prior methods, demonstrating the effectiveness of using optimization-induced feature drift as anomaly measure.

Major state-of-the-art unified tokenizers predominantly adopt pixel reconstruction and feature alignment as pretext tasks, they leave key domains largely unexplored such as architecture, supervised objectives and tasks interaction, potentially resulting in limited performance. We systematically investigate the critical factors of a unified visual tokenizer and propose a novel framework that strengthens synergy between understanding and generation in various aspects. Our initial analysis focus on properties of frontier vision models, confirming inherent conflict in contrastive learning style models for unifying generation and understanding, and demonstrate distinct convergence behavior of codebooks. To address the above bottleneck, we hierarchically decouple the conflicting proxy tasks, enriching the diversity of semantic features supervision to enhance thesemantic and low-level capabilities. Subsequently, we further introduce attention-prioritized mapping strategy, which guides fine-grained generation with powerful semantic prior. Our method achieves rFID of 0.33 and zero-shot accuracy of 80.9% on ImageNet at 256x256 resolution, surpassing VILA-U by 7.6% and outperforms continuous embedding of SigLIP. When applied to discrete unified MLLMs, our 7B model exceeds TokenFlow-13B by 3.1% in understanding and achieve SOTA performance in GenAI-Bench and MJHQ-30K.

Although recent 3D-native generators have made great progress in synthesizing reliable geometry, they still fall short in achieving realistic appearances. A key obstacle lies in the lack of diverse and high-quality real-world 3D assets with rich surface details, since capturing such data is intrinsically difficult due to the diverse scales of scenes, non-rigid motions of objects, and the limited precision of scanners.We introduce Photo3D, a framework for advancing photorealistic 3D generation, which is driven by the image data generated by the GPT-4o-Image model.Considering that the generated images can distort 3D structures due to their lack of multi-view consistency, we design a structure-aligned multi-view synthesis pipeline and construct a detail-enhanced multi-view dataset paired with 3D geometry. Building on it, we present a realistic detail enhancement scheme that leverages perceptual feature adaptation and semantic structure matching to enforce appearance consistency with the realistic detail priors while preserving the structural consistency with the 3D-native geometry. While our scheme is general to different 3D-native generators, we present dedicated training strategies to facilitate the optimization of geometry-texture coupled and decoupled 3D-native generation paradigms. Experiments demonstrate that Photo3D generalizes well across diverse 3D-native generation paradigms and achieves state-of-the-art photorealistic 3D generation performance.

3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a revolutionary scene representation in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) research. However, existing research on 3DGS-based SLAM fails to accurately address the appearance variations induced by camera auto-exposure in prevalent real-world scenarios, resulting in reduced localization and photorealistic mapping accuracy. To address this issue, we propose a stereo auto-exposure-robust Gaussian splatting SLAM (AERGS-SLAM), a framework robust to such variations and enables both reliable localization and exposure-controlled photorealistic mapping. Our key contributions are two fold. Firstly, we propose a camera exposure network to model the camera exposure process, which we integrate with Gaussian splatting to achieve exposure-controlled novel view synthesis. Secondly, we exploit an illumination-robust geometric feature for localization and Gaussian map initialization, enhancing localization accuracy under exposure-varying scenarios. Extensive experiments on public datasets and our self-collected real-world dataset demonstrate that AERGS-SLAM outperforms baselines in both localization performance and photorealistic mapping quality.
