Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) has attracted significant attention due to its flexible multimodal query method, yet its development is severely constrained by the Noisy Triplet Correspondence (NTC) problem. Most existing robust learning methods rely on the "small loss hypothesis", but the unique semantic ambiguity in NTC, such as "partial matching", invalidates this assumption, leading to unreliable noise identification. This entraps the model in a self dependent vicious cycle where the learner is intertwined with the arbiter, ultimately causing catastrophic "representation pollution". To address this critical challenge, we propose a novel "Expert-Proxy-Diversion" decoupling paradigm, named Air-Know (ArbIteR calibrated Knowledge iNternalizing rObust netWork). Air-Know incorporates three core modules: (1) The External Prior Arbitration (EPA) module, which utilizes Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) as an offline expert to construct a high precision anchor dataset; (2) Expert Knowledge Internalization (EKI) module, which efficiently guides a lightweight proxy "arbiter" to internalize the expert's discriminative logic; (3) Dual Stream Reconciliation (DSR) module, which leverages the EKI's matching confidence to divert the training data, achieving a clean alignment stream and a representation feedback reconciliation stream. Extensive experiments on multiple CIR benchmark datasets demonstrate that Air-Know significantly outperforms existing SOTA methods under the NTC setting, while also showing strong competitiveness in traditional CIR.

Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is a key requirement for reliable deployment in open-world environments, where a model must recognize inputs that fall outside the semantic scope of known concepts. While recent advances in vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved strong results in image-level OOD detection, most methods still assume that each image contains a single dominant object. This assumption severely limits their applicability to real-world settings where scenes are naturally composed of multiple objects that each demand independent OOD assessment. Existing object-level approaches, including the current SOTA method RUNA, remain constrained by coarse global representations and insufficient modeling of contextual dependencies between objects and their backgrounds. We propose UNI-OOD, a unified framework that performs both object- and image-level OOD detection within a single VLM, without requiring prior knowledge of which task is being addressed at inference time. The key idea is to leverage cross-context attentive modeling that captures complementary visual and textual semantics. UNI-OOD learns to attend to fine-grained spatial details within each object, aligns visual and linguistic embeddings to strengthen semantic correspondence, and models interactions between target objects and their surrounding context. By jointly reasoning over object-centric and background cues, the framework disentangles informative visual evidence from spurious correlations and enables a consistent OOD scoring mechanism across different visual granularities. Extensive experiments on object- and image-level benchmarks demonstrate that UNI-OOD achieves substantial and consistent improvements over previous approaches, establishing new SOTA performance in both object-level and image-level OOD detection.

Human-Object Interaction (HOI) detection aims to localize human-object pairs and classify their interactions from a single image, a task that demands strong visual understanding and nuanced contextual reasoning. Recent approaches have leveraged Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to introduce semantic priors, significantly improving HOI detection performance. However, existing methods often fail to fully capitalize on the diverse contextual cues distributed across the entire scene. To overcome these limitations, we propose the Instance-centric Context Mining Network (InCoM-Net)--a novel framework that effectively integrates rich semantic knowledge extracted from VLMs with instance-specific features produced by an object detector. This design enables deeper interaction reasoning by modeling relationships not only within each detected instance but also across instances and their surrounding scene context. InCoM-Net comprises two core components: Instance-centric Context Refinement (ICR), which separately extracts intra-instance, inter-instance, and global contextual cues from VLM-derived features, and Progressive Context Aggregation (ProCA), which iteratively fuses these multi-context features with instance-level detector features to support high-level HOI reasoning. Extensive experiments on the HICO-DET and V-COCO benchmarks show that InCoM-Net achieves state-of-the-art performance, surpassing previous HOI detection methods. Code is available at https://github.com/nowuss/InCoM-Net.

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have rapidly advanced, yet their adoption in medicine remains limited by gaps in domain coverage, modality alignment, and grounded reasoning. In this work, we introduce MedMO, a medical foundation model built upon a generalized MLLM architecture and trained exclusively on large-scale, domain-specific data. MedMO follows a multi-stage training recipe: (i) cross-modal pretraining to align heterogeneous visual encoders with a medical language backbone; (ii) instruction tuning on multi-task supervision that spans captioning, VQA, report generation, retrieval, and grounded disease localization with bounding boxes; and (iii) reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards that combine factuality checks with a box-level GIoU reward to strengthen spatial grounding and reasoning in complex clinical scenarios. MedMO consistently outperforms strong open-source medical MLLMs across multiple modalities and tasks. On VQA benchmarks, MedMO achieves an average accuracy improvement of +21.3% over the baseline and performs within 0.6% of the SOTA Fleming-VL. For text-based QA, it attains +7.9% over the baseline and +15.6% over Fleming-VL. In medical report generation, MedMO delivers significant gains in both semantic and clinical accuracy. Moreover, it exhibits strong grounding capability, achieving an IoU improvement of +40.4 over the baseline and +37.0% over Fleming-VL, underscoring its robust spatial reasoning and localization performance. Evaluations across radiology, ophthalmology, pathology, and emergency care confirm MedMO's broad cross-modality generalization and reliable spatial reasoning.

Visual anomaly detection is vital for quality control applications by identifying deviations from normal patterns. Previous structural or logical anomaly detection methods mainly focus on pixel-level deviations like texture defects and reconstruction errors, ignoring the object-level structural and contextual inconsistencies. These overlooked layout anomalies remain critical yet underexplored, e.g., factually defective hallucinations appeared in generative text-to-image models. Based on the above observation, in this paper, we introduce scene layout anomaly detection, a new task that predicts an object-level anomaly map from the input image to reveal the semantic plausibility and geometric consistency of each object in the scene. Specifically, we propose LayoutAD, an unsupervised learning framework that constructs semantic and geometric graphs to jointly reason over semantic-geometric misalignment among objects. Under this formulation, we are able to detect diverse layout deviations, including object attribute implausibilities and relationship mismatches. Extensive experiments show that LayoutAD outperforms baselines qualitatively and quantitatively across various scenarios, benefiting scene understanding and generation applications like video anomaly detection and self-corrected image generation.

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable success on diverse visual-language tasks. However, fixed-resolution models face challenges in perceiving fine-grained visual details, particularly due to *distracted attention* and *blurry vision*. To address these issues, we propose **SLoFo**, a training-free and self-guided inference framework that mimics the human "**S**can-**Lo**cate-**Fo**cus" process. SLoFo first adopts a dual-branch mechanism to identify critical image regions: the Semantic branch constructs a gradient-based semantic relevance map, and the Structure branch estimates visual token uniqueness offering complementary and robust evidence. By combining both branches, SLoFo perceives and explicitly crop critical regions. During inference, with additional cropped sub-image, SLoFo applies a progressive visual token pruning strategy to improve attention focus on key areas while reducing computational overhead. Experiments on detail-sensitive and general-purpose benchmarks show that SLoFo consistently improves accuracy (+4.79% on TextVQA, +2.58% on GQA) and robustness (+4.60% on POPE-MSCOCO adversarial) without training or external modules.

Recent vision-language model (VLM)-based approaches have achieved impressive results on SVG generation. However, because they generate only text and lack visual signals during decoding, they often struggle with complex semantics and fail to produce visually appealing or geometrically coherent SVGs. We introduce DuetSVG, a unified multimodal model that jointly generates image tokens and corresponding SVG tokens in an end-to-end manner. DuetSVG is trained on both image and SVG datasets. At inference, we apply a novel test-time scaling strategy that leverages the model's native visual predictions as guidance to improve SVG decoding quality. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms existing methods, producing visually faithful, semantically aligned, and syntactically clean SVGs across a wide range of applications.

Multimodal intent recognition (MIR) is hindered by substantial redundancy and noise originating from text, speech, and visual inputs, which weakens feature distinctiveness and ultimately harms recognition performance. Although recent approaches based on the information bottleneck (IB) principle mitigate this issue via feature compression and reconstruction to obtain compact and noise-reduced representations, they still encounter two major drawbacks. First, conventional IB employs a fixed bottleneck dimension, making it unable to accommodate sample-dependent variations in redundancy and noise. Second, simultaneously handling redundancy and noise within a single compression process leads to incomplete feature purification. In this paper, we propose a novel framework named SeD-UD, which incorporates influence-driven input-adaptive bottleneck (IDAB) modules following a hierarchically-decoupled IB structure. Given a redundancy/noise influence factor, IDAB dynamically adjusts dimensions and selects the optimal parameters for compression and reconstruction, thereby achieving the best trade-off between information preservation and interference suppression. The IB structure performs hierarchically-decoupled processing of redundancy and noise via separated de-redundancy and unified denoising based on IDAB modules. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets show SeD-UD outperforms current state-of-the-art models.

3D layout generation and editing play a crucial role in Embodied AI and immersive VR interaction. However, manual creation requires tedious labor, while data-driven generation often lacks diversity. The emergence of large models introduces new possibilities for 3D scene synthesis. We present HOG-Layout that enables text-driven hierarchical scene generation, optimization and real-time scene editing with large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs). HOG-Layout improves scene semantic consistency and plausibility through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technology, incorporates an optimization module to enhance physical consistency, and adopts a hierarchical representation to enhance inference and optimization, achieving real-time editing. Experimental results demonstrate that HOG-Layout produces more reasonable environments compared with existing baselines, while supporting fast and intuitive scene editing.

Ensuring the authenticity and ownership of digital images is increasingly challenging as modern editing tools enable highly realistic forgeries. Existing image protection systems mainly rely on digital watermarking, which is susceptible to sophisticated digital attacks. To address this limitation, we propose a hybrid optical-digital framework that incorporates physical authentication cues during image formation and preserves them through a learned reconstruction process. At the optical level, a phase mask in the camera aperture produces a Null-space Optical Watermark (NOWA) that lies in the Null Space of the imaging operator and therefore remains invisible in the captured image. Then, a Null-Space Network (NSN) performs measurement-consistent reconstruction that delivers high-quality protected images while preserving the NOWA signature. The proposed design enables tamper localization by projecting the image onto the camera's null space and detecting pixel-level inconsistencies. Our design preserves perceptual quality, resists common degradations such as compression, and establishes a structural security asymmetry: without access to the optical or NSN parameters, adversaries cannot forge the NOWA signature. Experiments with simulations and a prototype camera demonstrate competitive performance in terms of image quality preservation and tamper localization accuracy compared to state-of-the-art digital watermarking and learning-based authentication methods.

Recent advances in multimodal large language models (LLMs) have enabled unified reasoning across images, audio, and video, but extending such capability to brain imaging remains largely unexplored. Bridging this gap is essential to link neural activity with semantic cognition and to develop cross-modal brain representations. To this end, we present fMRI-LM, a foundational model that bridges functional MRI (fMRI) and language through a three-stage framework. In Stage 1, we learn a neural tokenizer that maps fMRI into discrete tokens embedded in a language-consistent space. In Stage 2, a pretrained LLM is adapted to jointly model fMRI tokens and text, treating brain activity as a sequence that can be temporally predicted and linguistically described. To overcome the lack of natural fMRI-text pairs, we construct a large descriptive corpus that translates diverse imaging-based features into structured textual descriptors, capturing the low-level organization of fMRI signals. In Stage 3, we perform multi-task, multi-paradigm instruction tuning to endow fMRI-LM with high-level semantic understanding, supporting diverse downstream applications. Across various benchmarks, fMRI-LM achieves strong zero-shot and few-shot performance, and adapts efficiently with parameter-efficient tuning (LoRA), establishing a scalable pathway toward a language-aligned, universal model for structural and semantic understanding of fMRI.

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

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

Drone-based building defect segmentation remains challenging due to complex surface textures and illumination variations. We propose TPSegformer, a topology-preserving segmentation framework that mitigates mis-segmentation in such scenarios. Its decoder incorporates a Hilbert curve-based topology-preserving mechanism to maintain spatial continuity and boundary precision during category layer computation. A lightweight multi-scale fusion module enhances semantic representation, while global context modeling strengthens holistic perception. Experiments on the building defect dataset show that TPSegformer outperforms existing segmentation methods, achieving 80.77% mIoU and 90.22% Acc. On the Dacl10k dataset, it maintains strong generalization, reaching 44.27% mIoU and 60.32% Acc across diverse materials and defect types. The code is available at : https://github.com/mumu-k/TPSegformer

The dense, temporal nature of video presents a profound challenge for automated analysis. Despite the use of powerful Vision-Language Models, prevailing methods for video understanding are limited by the inherent disconnect between reasoning and perception: they rely on static, pre-processed information and cannot actively seek raw evidence from video as their understanding evolves. To address this, we introduce LensWalk, a flexible agentic framework that empowers a Large Language Model reasoner to control its own visual observation actively. LensWalk establishes a tight reason-plan-observe loop where the agent dynamically specifies, at each step, the temporal scope and sampling density of the video it observes. Using a suite of versatile, Vision-Language Model based tools parameterized by these specifications, the agent can perform broad scans for cues, focus on specific segments for fact extraction, and stitch evidence from multiple moments for holistic verification. This design allows for progressive, on-demand evidence gathering that directly serves the agent's evolving chain of thought. Without requiring any model fine-tuning, LensWalk delivers substantial, plug-and-play performance gains on multiple model recipes, boosting their accuracy by over 5% on challenging long-video benchmarks like LVBench and Video-MME. Our analysis reveals that enabling an agent to control how it sees is key to unlocking more accurate, robust, and interpretable video reasoning.

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

Fine-tuning Vision-Language Models (VLMs) trained on large-scale datasets of natural image-text pairs has demonstrated impressive performance for various downstream tasks. However, their fine-tuning for remote sensing (RS) tasks faces dual barriers: (1) Data-level barrier caused by the fundamental modality gap between natural imagery and RS data, and (2) Task-level barrier stemming from the requirement for multi-source interaction modeling capabilities. This paper proposes a Cross-modal Fusion Interactive Prompt Tuning (CF-IPT) method to fine-tune CLIP for multi-source RS image classification tasks. It aims to leverage the prompt learning framework to transfer the alignment target of the text branch shifts from natural images to multi-source RS images. Specifically, we design a Multi-source Interactive Fusion-guided Spectral-Spatial Prompt Generation (MFPG) module, which enables cross-modal feature interaction to generate a prompt matrix that preserves the original spectral and spatial information while performing adaptive multi-scale fusion to address the multi-source image adaptation problem. Subsequently, a Spectral-Spatial Prompt-guided Visual-Text Prompt Interaction (V-TPI) Strategy is proposed, which leverages spectral-spatial prompt matrices to guide visual-textual prompt interaction and inject RS-specific information into both branches of CLIP, ultimately enabling multi-source RS image-text representation alignment. The proposed approach performs the downstream task of multi-source RS image classification with merely 0.76% of CLIP's parameters. It is evaluated on several widely used datasets, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Autoregressive (AR) models have achieved remarkable success in image synthesis, yet their sequential nature imposes significant latency constraints. Speculative Decoding offers a promising avenue for acceleration, but existing approaches are limited by token-level ambiguity and lack of spatial awareness. In this work, we introduce Multi-Scale Local Speculative Decoding (MuLo-SD), a novel framework that combines multi-resolution drafting with spatially informed verification to accelerate AR image generation. Our method leverages a low-resolution drafter paired with an up-sampling step to propose candidate image tokens, which are then verified in parallel by a high-resolution target model. Crucially, we incorporate a local rejection and resampling mechanism, enabling efficient correction of draft errors by focusing on spatial neighborhoods rather than raster-scan resampling after the first rejection. When integrated with parallel decoding resampling, \methodname achieves substantial speedups -- up to 5x -- outperforming both speculative decoding and parallel decoding baselines in terms of acceleration, while maintaining comparable semantic alignment and perceptual quality. These results are validated using GenEval, DPG-Bench, and FID/HPSv2 on the MS-COCO 5k validation split. Extensive ablations highlight the impact of up-sampling design, probability pooling, and local rejection and resampling with neighborhood expansion. Our approach sets a new state-of-the-art in speculative decoding for image synthesis, bridging the gap between efficiency and fidelity.

Due to sensor failures and occlusions during data acquisition, multi-view data often suffer from partial missing samples, thereby producing incomplete multi-view data. Recently, Incomplete Multi-View Classification (IMVC) has become one of the research hot topics, where numerous IMVC methods have been proposed. Although these methods have achieved promising performance by exploiting internal semantic information from partially observed data, they primarily rely on limited internal supervision for view completion. Clearly, this largely constrains their performance ceiling. To overcome this limitation, we propose an EXternal visiOn-driven incomplete mulTi-vIew Classification (EXOTIC) paradigm that incorporates external vision knowledge as semantic guidance, thereby assisting in imputing incomplete views. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first work that leverages external vision knowledge as supervision signals, thereby guiding missing-view completion. Specifically, we first introduce an external vision knowledge library based on a pre-trained vision-language model. Then, we design a Knowledge Filtering module to adaptively select task-relevant knowledge. Afterwards, we present a Knowledge Purification module to align external knowledge with internal representations. Finally, we propose External Completion that leverages the refined knowledge to impute missing views, thereby enhancing the classification decision ability. Extensive experiments on multiple incomplete multi-view datasets demonstrate that the proposed EXOTIC consistently outperforms existing methods, especially under high missing rates.
