In edge-cloud environments, efficiency of speculative decoding is heavily constrained by uplink transmission and cloud-side verification. In this work, we identify a phenomenon we term credit inertia, where acceptance rates of adjacent token windows exhibit strong temporal consistency. Tokens following recently well-performing windows are likely to pass verification, whereas tokens following poorly performing windows are likely to fail. Motivated by this observation, we propose E^2-SCI, an elastic edge-cloud speculative decoding framework that dynamically adjusts draft token verification thresholds based on recent historical performance. This adaptive mechanism allows system to be more permissive for windows with strong historical performance and stricter for windows with weak performance, effectively leveraging temporal consistency to reduce overall latency. We further introduce Progressive Lookahead Concurrency (PLC), which pipelines draft generation and verification asynchronously to hide latency. Experiments across multiple benchmarks show that E^2-SCI achieves over 9.4 tokens/s on DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen (1.5B/32B), delivering an 88.5% speed improvement over FSD baseline while maintaining accuracy. Notably, E^2-SCI integrates seamlessly with existing frameworks, demonstrating broad applicability and superior efficiency-quality trade-offs.

Leveraging 3D information within Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) has recently shown significant advantages for indoor scene understanding. However, existing methods, including those using explicit ground-truth 3D positional encoding and those grafting external 3D foundation models for implicit geometry, struggle with the trade-off in 2D-3D representation fusion, leading to suboptimal deployment. To this end, we propose 3D-Implicit Depth Emergence, a method that reframes 3D perception as an emergent property derived from geometric self-supervision rather than explicit encoding. Our core insight is the Implicit Geometric Emergence Principle: by strategically leveraging privileged geometric supervision through mechanisms like a fine-grained geometry validator and global representation constraints, we construct an information bottleneck. This bottleneck forces the model to maximize the mutual information between visual features and 3D structures, allowing 3D awareness to emerge naturally within a unified visual representation. Unlike existing approaches, our method enables 3D perception to emerge implicitly, disentangling features in dense regions and, crucially, eliminating depth and pose dependencies during inference with zero latency overhead. This paradigm shift from external grafting to implicit emergence represents a fundamental rethinking of 3D knowledge integration in visual-language models. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method surpasses SOTA on multiple 3D scene understanding benchmarks. Our approach achieves a 55% reduction in inference latency while maintaining strong performance across diverse downstream tasks, underscoring the effectiveness of meticulously designed auxiliary objectives for dependency-free 3D understanding.

Smart glass is emerging as an useful device since it provides plenty of insights under hands-busy, eyes-on-task situations. To understand the context of the wearer, 6D object pose estimation in egocentric view is becoming essential. However, existing 6D object pose estimation benchmarks fail to capture the challenges of real-world egocentric applications, which are often dominated by severe motion blur, dynamic illumination, and visual obstructions. This discrepancy creates a significant gap between controlled lab data and chaotic real-world application. To bridge this gap, we introduce EgoXtreme, a new large-scale 6D pose estimation dataset captured entirely from an egocentric perspective. EgoXtreme features three challenging scenarios--industrial maintenance, sports, and emergency rescue--designed to introduce severe perceptual ambiguities through extreme lighting, heavy motion blur, and smoke. Evaluations of state-of-the-art generalizable pose estimators on EgoXtreme indicate that their generalization fails to hold in extreme conditions, especially under low light. We further demonstrate that simply applying image restoration (e.g., deblurring) offers no positive improvement for extreme conditions. While performance gain has appeared in tracking-based approach, implying using temporal information in fast-motion scenarios is meaningful. We conclude that EgoXtreme is an essential resource for developing and evaluating the next generation of pose estimation models robust enough for real-world egocentric vision. The dataset and code are available at https://taegyoun88.github.io/EgoXtreme/

We introduce a test-time framework for multiview Transformers (MVTs) that incorporates priors (e.g., camera poses, intrinsics, and depth) to improve 3D tasks without retraining or modifying pre-trained image-only networks. Rather than feeding priors into the architecture, we cast them as constraints on the predictions and optimize the network at inference time. The optimization loss consists of a self-supervised objective and prior penalty terms. The self-supervised objective captures the compatibility among multi-view predictions and is implemented using photometric or geometric loss between renderings from other views and each view itself. Any available priors are converted into penalty terms on the corresponding output modalities. Across a series of 3D vision benchmarks, including point map estimation and camera pose estimation, our method consistently improves performance over base MVTs by a large margin. On the ETH3D, 7-Scenes, and NRGBD datasets, our method reduces the point-map distance error by more than half compared with the base image-only models. Our method also outperforms retrained prior-aware feed-forward methods, demonstrating the effectiveness of our test-time constrained optimization (TCO) framework for incorporating priors into 3D vision tasks. The code is available at https://github.com/cvlab-stonybrook/TCO.

Floorplan localization aims to estimate the camera pose of a query image with respect to a 2D floorplan, providing a lightweight and long-term stable alternative to localization based on 3D maps or large image databases for indoor robotics and AR. Recent methods frame the problem as ray-based matching, representing the image as a set of rays annotated with depth or semantic labels and aligning them with the floorplan. However, they still face challenges in addressing the complexity of indoor environments, which can be decomposed into environmental, geometric, and semantic ambiguities.To address these ambiguities, we propose a floorplan-aware probabilistic fusion framework that models both depth and semantic information within a unified architecture. Our framework also combines a distribution-based ray confidence estimator, which down-weights uncertain geometric hypotheses, with a probabilistic semantic matching scheme based on Jensen-Shannon divergence (JSD), which preserves and leverages informative semantic ambiguity instead of collapsing it into hard labels. Experiments on challenging benchmarks demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms prior methods in both robustness and accuracy.

We present PhysInOne, a large-scale synthetic dataset addressing the critical scarcity of physically-grounded training data for AI systems. Unlike existing datasets limited to merely hundreds or thousands of examples, PhysInOne provides 2 million videos across 153,810 dynamic 3D scenes, covering 71 basic physical phenomena in mechanics, optics, fluid dynamics, and magnetism. Distinct from previous works, our scenes feature multiobject interactions against complex backgrounds, with comprehensive ground-truth annotations including 3D geometry, semantics, dynamic motion, physical properties, and text descriptions. We demonstrate PhysInOne's efficacy across four emerging applications: physics-aware video generation, long-/short-term future frame prediction, physical property estimation, and motion transfer. Experiments show that fine-tuning foundation models on PhysInOne significantly enhances physical plausibility, while also exposing critical gaps in modeling complex physical dynamics and estimating intrinsic properties. As the largest dataset of its kind, orders of magnitude beyond prior works, PhysInOne establishes a new benchmark for advancing physics-grounded world models in generation, simulation, and embodied AI.

We present UniSH, a unified, feed-forward framework for joint metric-scale 3D scene and human reconstruction. A key challenge in this domain is the scarcity of large-scale, annotated real-world data, forcing a reliance on synthetic datasets. This reliance introduces a significant sim-to-real domain gap, leading to poor generalization, low-fidelity human geometry, and poor alignment on in-the-wild videos. To address this, we propose an innovative training paradigm that effectively leverages unlabeled in-the-wild data. Our framework bridges strong, disparate priors from scene reconstruction and HMR, and is trained with two core components: (1) a robust distillation strategy to refine human surface details by distilling high-frequency details from an expert depth model, and (2) a two-stage supervision scheme, which first learns coarse localization on synthetic data, then fine-tunes on real data by directly optimizing the geometric correspondence between the SMPL mesh and the human point cloud. This approach enables our feed-forward model to jointly recover high-fidelity scene geometry, human point clouds, camera parameters, and coherent, metric-scale SMPL bodies, all in a single forward pass. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance on human-centric scene reconstruction and delivers highly competitive results on global human motion estimation, comparing favorably against both optimization-based frameworks and HMR-only methods.

Streaming video understanding often involves time-sensitive scenarios where models need to answer exactly when the supporting visual evidence appears: answering before the evidence reflects speculation, answering after it has passed reduces real-time utility. To capture this behavior, we introduce a readiness-aware formulation of streaming video understanding with the **Answer Readiness Score (ARS)**, a timing-aware objective with asymmetric early and late penalties. When combined with correctness, ARS defines an effective accuracy that measures not just whether a model is right, but whether it answers at the appropriate moment. Building on this formulation, we introduce **StreamReady**, a framework to unify temporal reasoning with on-time answering through a lightweight readiness mechanism that decides if sufficient evidence has been observed before responding. To evaluate this capability, we further introduce **ProReady-QA**, a benchmark with annotated answer evidence windows and proactive multi-turn questions across local and global contexts. StreamReady achieves superior performance on ProReady-QA, and consistently outperforms prior methods across eight additional streaming and offline long-video benchmarks, demonstrating robust and broadly generalizable video understanding capability.

This paper presents GeoAgent, a model capable of reasoning closely with humans and deriving fine-grained address conclusions. Previous RL-based methods have achieved breakthroughs in performance and interpretability but still remain concerns because of their reliance on AI-generated chain-of-thought (CoT) data and training strategies, which conflict with geographic characteristics. To address these issues, we first introduce GeoSeek, a new geolocation dataset comprising CoT data annotated by geographic experts and professional players. We further thoroughly explore the inherent characteristics of geographic tasks and propose a geo-similarity reward and a consistency reward assessed by a consistency agent to assist training. This encourages the model to converge towards correct answers from a geographic perspective while ensuring the integrity and consistency of its reasoning process. Experimental results show that GeoAgent outperforms existing methods and a series of general VLLMs across multiple grains, while generating reasoning that closely aligns with humans. Pretrained model and data will be openly available.

Novel view synthesis of dynamic scenes is fundamental to achieving photorealistic 4D reconstruction and immersive visual experiences. Recent progress in Gaussian-based representations has significantly improved real-time rendering quality, yet existing methods still struggle to maintain a balance between long-term static and short-term dynamic regions in both representation and optimization. To address this, we present SharpTimeGS, a lifespan-aware 4D Gaussian framework that achieves temporally adaptive modeling of both static and dynamic regions under a unified representation. Specifically, we introduce a learnable lifespan parameter that reformulates temporal visibility from a Gaussian-shaped decay into a flat-top profile, allowing primitives to remain consistently active over their intended duration and avoiding redundant densification. In addition, the learned lifespan modulates each primitive's motion, reducing drift in long-lived static points while retaining unrestricted motion for short-lived dynamic ones. This effectively decouples motion magnitude from temporal duration, improving long-term stability without compromising dynamic fidelity. Moreover, we design a lifespan-velocity-aware densification strategy that mitigates optimization imbalance between static and dynamic regions by allocating more capacity to regions with pronounced motion while keeping static areas compact and stable. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance while supporting real-time rendering up to 4K resolution at 100 FPS on one RTX 4090.

Multimodal Web Search Agents demonstrate a practically valuable capability by fusing information from diverse modalities (e.g., text and vision), retrieved iteratively from the internet, to address complex user queries. However, the visual modality is prone to information overload, and the noise contained within it--such as irrelevant background details or complex structures--can disrupt the model's attention, misdirecting its operational focus toward an erroneous path. To address the aforementioned challenge, we propose ReFAct (Reasoning, Focusing, and Acting), a novel framework that empowers the agent to actively manage its cross-modal context. This allows the agent to adjust its operational focus, thereby mitigating the impact of noise on multimodal Web Search Agents. Specifically, ReFAct employs a Grounding tool for active visual perception to dynamically filter information. We also design external memory-based Defocus/Refocus operations for selective information retention, further modulating information density within the multimodal context. Ultimately, this ensures the agent maintains focus during problem-solving. To evaluate and enhance agent capabilities in complex and noisy multimodal contexts, we first propose a pipeline for constructing datasets with flexible complexity. We introduce a new open-source benchmark: GroundedVQA. Finally, we experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method on GroundedVQA and other widely-used benchmarks.

Visual grouping--operationalized through tasks such as instance segmentation, visual grounding, and object detection--enables applications ranging from robotic perception to photo editing. These fundamental problems in computer vision are powered by large-scale, painstakingly annotated datasets. Despite their impact, these datasets are costly to build, biased in coverage, and difficult to scale. Synthetic datasets offer a promising alternative but struggle with flexibility, accuracy, and compositional diversity. We introduce SOC, an accurate and scalable data synthesis pipeline via a novel object-centric composition strategy. It composes high-quality synthetic object segments into new images using 3D geometric layout augmentation and camera configuration augmentation with generative harmonization and mask-area-weighted blending, yielding accurate and diverse masks, boxes, and referring expressions. Models trained on just 100K of our synthetic images outperform those trained on larger real datasets (GRIT 20M, V3Det 200K) and synthetic pipelines (Copy-Paste, X-Paste, SynGround, SegGen by +24-36%)--achieving +10.9 AP on LVIS and +8.4 NAcc on gRefCOCO. SOC also enables controllable dataset construction for different use cases and boosts performance in both low-data and closed-vocabulary scenarios. Augmenting LVIS and COCO with synthetic object segments delivers strong performance across different real data scales and yields even greater improvements when real data is extremely limited (+6.59 AP on 1% COCO data). Furthermore, this controllability enables targeted data generation for intra-class referring, a diagnostic grounding task we propose that requires fine-grained attribute discrimination.

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has become a prevalent backbone for large vision-language models (VLMs), yet how modality-specific signals should guide expert routing remains under-explored. Existing routing strategies are either hand-crafted or modality-agnostic, relying on idealized priors that ignore the layer-dependent modality fusion patterns in MoE-VLMs and provide little guidance for expert specialization. We propose Soft Modality-guided Expert Specialization (SMoES), which consists of dynamic soft modality scores that capture layer-dependent fusion patterns, an expert binning mechanism aligned with expert-parallel deployment, and an inter-bin mutual information regularization that encourages coherent modality specialization. Our method leverages attention-based or Gaussian-statistics modality scores to optimize mutual information regularization. Experiments across four MoE-based VLMs and 16 benchmarks demonstrate improvement on both effectiveness and efficiency: 0.9% and 4.2% average gain on multimodal and language-only tasks, 56.1% reduction in EP communication overhead, and 12.3% throughput improvement under realistic deployment. These results validate that aligning routing with modality-aware expert specialization unlocks MoE-VLM capacity and efficiency.

Accurately modeling the relationship between perturbations, transcriptional responses, and phenotypic changes is essential for building an AI Virtual Cell (AIVC). However, existing methods typically constrained to modeling direct associations, such as *Perturbation -> RNA* or *Perturbation -> Morphology*, overlook the crucial causal link from RNA to morphology. To bridge this gap, we propose TRIDENT, a cascade generative framework that synthesizes realistic cellular morphology by conditioning on both the perturbation and the corresponding gene expression profile. To train and evaluate this task, we construct MorphoGene, a new dataset pairing L1000 gene expression with Cell Painting images for 98 compounds. TRIDENT significantly outperforms state-of-the-art approaches, achieving up to 7-fold improvement with strong generalization to unseen compounds. In a case study on docetaxel, we validate that RNA-guided synthesis accurately produces the corresponding phenotype. An ablation study further confirms that this RNA conditioning is essential for the model's high fidelity. By explicitly modeling transcriptome-phenome mapping, TRIDENT provides a powerful in silico tool and moves us closer to a predictive virtual cell.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have exhibited immense potential across numerous medical specialties, yet dentistry remains underexplored, in part due to limited domain-specific data, scarce dental expert annotations, insufficient modality-specific modeling, and challenges in reliability. In this paper, we present OralGPT-Omni, the first dental-specialized MLLM designed for comprehensive and trustworthy analysis across diverse dental imaging modalities and clinical tasks. To explicitly capture dentists' diagnostic reasoning, we construct TRACE-CoT, a clinically grounded chain-of-thought dataset that mirrors dental radiologists' decision-making processes. This reasoning supervision, combined with our proposed four-stage training paradigm, substantially strengthens the model's capacity for dental image understanding and analysis. In parallel, we introduce MMOral-Uni, the first unified multimodal benchmark for dental image analysis. It comprises 2,809 open-ended question-answer pairs spanning five modalities and five tasks, offering a comprehensive evaluation suite to date for MLLMs in digital dentistry. OralGPT-Omni achieves an overall score of 51.84 on the MMOral-Uni benchmark and 45.31 on the MMOral-OPG benchmark, dramatically outperforming the scores of GPT-5. Our work promotes intelligent dentistry and paves the way for future advances in dental image analysis. All code, benchmark, and models will be made publicly available.

Recent feed-forward networks have achieved remarkable progress in sparse-view 3D reconstruction by predicting dense point maps directly from RGB images. However, they often suffer from geometric inconsistencies and limited fine-grained accuracy due to the absence of explicit multi-view constraints. We introduce the Geometry-Grounded Point Transformer (GGPT), a framework that augments feed-forward reconstruction with reliable sparse geometric guidance. We first propose an improved Structure-from-Motion pipeline based on dense feature matching and lightweight geometric optimisation to efficiently estimate accurate camera poses and partial 3D point clouds from sparse input views. We propose a geometry-guided 3D point transformer that refines dense point maps under explicit partial-geometry supervision using an optimised guidance encoding. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method provides a principled mechanism for integrating geometric priors with dense feed-forward predictions, producing reconstructions that are both geometrically consistent and spatially complete, recovering fine structures and filling gaps in textureless areas.Trained solely on ScanNet++ with VGGT predictions, GGPT generalises across architectures and datasets, substantially outperforming state-of-the-art feed-forward 3D reconstruction models in both in-domain and out-of-domain settings.

Autonomous driving must operate reliably across diverse surfaces to enable safe mobility. However, most driving datasets are captured on well-paved flat roads. Moreover, recent driving datasets primarily provide sparse LiDAR ground truth for images, which is insufficient for assessing fine-grained geometry in depth estimation and completion. To address these gaps, we introduce CARD, a multi-modal driving dataset that delivers quasi-dense 3D ground truth across continuous sequences rich in speed bumps, potholes, irregular surfaces and off-road segments. Our sensor suite includes synchronized global-shutter stereo cameras, front and rear LiDARs, 6-DoF poses from LiDAR-inertial odometry, per-wheel motion traces, and full calibration. Notably, our multi-LiDAR fusion yields 500K valid depth pixels per frame, about 6.5x more than KITTI Depth Completion and 10x more on average than other public driving datasets. The dataset spans 110 km and 4.7 hours across Germany and Italy. In addition, CARD provides 2D bounding boxes targeting road-topography irregularities, enabling accurate benchmarking for both geometry and perception tasks. Furthermore, we introduce a standardized evaluation protocol for road surface irregularities and a stereo-guided depth completion variant that achieves leading performance on CARD. Moreover, we benchmark state-of-the-art depth estimation models to establish strong baselines. We host CARD on Hugging Face with an open source SDK and standardized splits to enable public leaderboards and reproducible evaluation. The CARD dataset is hosted on (https://huggingface.co/CARD-Data).

In text-driven 3D scene generation, object layout serves as a crucial intermediate representation that bridges high-level language instructions with detailed geometric output. It not only provides a structural blueprint for ensuring physical plausibility but also supports semantic controllability and interactive editing. However, the learning capabilities of current 3D indoor layout generation models are constrained by the limited scale, diversity, and annotation quality of existing datasets. To address this, we introduce M3DLayout, a large-scale, multi-source dataset for 3D indoor layout generation. M3DLayout comprises 21,367 layouts and over 433k object instances, integrating three distinct sources: real-world scans, professional CAD designs, and procedurally generated scenes. Each layout is paired with detailed structured text describing global scene summaries, relational placements of large furniture, and fine-grained arrangements of smaller items. This diverse and richly annotated resource enables models to learn complex spatial and semantic patterns across a wide variety of indoor environments. To assess the potential of M3DLayout, we establish a benchmark using both a text-conditioned diffusion model and a text-conditioned autoregressive model. Experimental results demonstrate that our dataset provides a solid foundation for training layout generation models. Its multi-source composition enhances diversity, notably through the Inf3DLayout subset which provides rich small-object information, enabling the generation of more complex and detailed scenes. We hope that M3DLayout can serve as a valuable resource for advancing research in text-driven 3D scene synthesis. All dataset and code will be made public upon acceptance.

Recent unified multimodal models (UMMs) have achieved remarkable progress in visual comprehension and generation. However, existing datasets and benchmarks focus predominantly on single-turn interactions, overlooking the multi-turn, context-dependent nature of real-world image creation and editing. To bridge this gap, we introduce W E A V E, the first comprehensive suite for in-context interleaved cross-modality comprehension and generation, comprising two complementary components. W E A V E-100k is a large-scale dataset of 100,000 interleaved samples spanning over 370,000 dialogue turns and 500,000 images, encompassing comprehension, editing, and generation tasks that demand reasoning over prior context. W E A V E-Bench is a human-annotated benchmark of 100 items with 480 images, equipped with a hybrid VLM judge evaluation framework that jointly leverages reference images and original-image-instruction pairs to assess multi-turn generation, visual memory, and world-knowledge reasoning across diverse domains. Experiments show that training on W E A V E-100k substantially improves vision comprehension, image editing, and comprehension-generation collaboration, while further enabling the emergence of visual-memory capabilities in UMMs. Extensive evaluations on W E A V E-Bench reveal persistent limitations of current approaches in multi-turn, context-aware image generation and editing. We hope W E A V E provides both a perspective and a foundation for advancing in-context interleaved comprehension and generation in the multimodal community.
