Weakly supervised video anomaly detection (WS-VAD) aims to localize frame-level anomalies using only video-level labels. This task is typically formulated within a multiple instance learning (MIL) paradigm, where each video is treated as a bag of snippets, achieving robust performance without requiring additional information.However, existing methods often struggle with noisy supervision signals. Normal snippets within abnormal bags are frequently misclassified as anomalies due to inaccurate anomaly scores. These misclassified instances act as noisy samples, introducing false supervision that hinders the learning of true anomaly patterns.In this work, we introduce D^ 2 MIL, a Denoising-Debiasing framework within the Multiple Instance Learning paradigm designed to suppress noise and improve anomaly discrimination. Our approach integrates two key components:(1) Denoising Module: We introduce a dynamic drop rate to adaptively filter out suspected noisy samples during training, based on the observation that noisy samples incur higher training losses. (2) Debiasing Module: We leverage a vision-language model to re-evaluate the discarded samples. This recovers potentially valuable abnormal instances that were mistakenly removed, as they are similar to noisy samples but difficult for the model to recognize. D^ 2 MIL is a general purpose denoising strategy that can be integrated into any MIL-based method. Our extensive experiments on the three benchmark datasets (ShanghaiTech, UCF-Crime, and MSAD) demonstrate that D^ 2 MIL is compatible with diverse MIL frameworks and consistently enhances their performance.

Zero-Shot 3D Visual Grounding (Zero-Shot 3DVG) aims to localize target objects in 3D scenes from natural language descriptions without relying on instance-wise description annotations. Existing methods rely on extra 2D images during inference and/or require multi-turn interactions with large language models (LLMs) or vision-language models (VLMs), which increase latency, computational cost, and deployment complexity. To overcome these limitations, we propose Unaided Zero-shot 3D Visual Grounding with generated language conditions (UZ3DVG), which is fed with 3D point clouds and textual descriptions only during inference and does not depend on external models. This is a new training paradigm: a VLM is employed solely to produce object-wise descriptions (pseudo labels) and reasoning chains for training a lightweight 3DVG model with robust spatial reasoning. Specifically, the introduced Open-Vocabulary Multi-Source Spatial Annotation and Reasoning Chain Generator processes RGB-D images or 3D-projected 2D images from open-world scenes to generate spatial pseudo-labels and reasoning chains for training. Then, we propose Reasoning Chain Distillation, which transfers reasoning knowledge extracted by a large teacher network to a lightweight student network. To represent both global and local geometric relationships, the Geometry-Aware Spatial Modeling (GeoSM) module is introduced to align textual reasoning with 3D spatial structures. Experiments show that UZ3DVG achieves SOTA zero-shot performance on ScanRefer and NR3D, with inference speeds up to 7.69 \mathrm FPS , approximately 38 times faster than SOTA methods. The code is available at https://github.com/tanwb/UZ3DVG.

We introduce CADFS, a data-centric framework that enables large vision-language models to generate complex CAD design histories. Existing generative CAD systems are restricted to sketch-extrude operations due to simplified representations and limited datasets. We address this by introducing a FeatureScript-based representation and constructing a dataset of 450k real-world CAD models spanning 15 modeling operations. We obtain the dataset via a new pipeline that reconstructs clean, executable FeatureScript programs and provides multimodal annotations. Fine-tuning a VLM on this representation yields state-of-the-art results in text-conditioned CAD generation and image-based reconstruction, producing more accurate, diverse, and feature-rich designs than prior frameworks. Ablations show that each individual component of our framework, i.e., the FeatureScript representation, the extended operation set, and representation-aligned textual descriptions, significantly improves performance. Our framework substantially broadens the complexity and realism achievable in generative CAD. The CADFS framework and the new dataset are available at https://voyleg.github.io/cadfs/.

Visually imperceptible surface deformations encode rich information about a scene, from the mechanical properties of an object to the acoustic vibrations present in the surrounding environment. Optical interferometric techniques can reveal these subtle changes, typically by capturing a sequence of measurements to perform temporal phase shifting. In this paper, we introduce Computational Speckle Pattern Interferometry (CSPI), a novel single-shot approach to estimating per-pixel displacement and motion. Our key insight is that the image formation model for speckle pattern interferometry can be decomposed into spatial and temporal factors, each represented as a vector. After calibrating for the spatial term, we recover the scene dynamics using a reconstruction algorithm modeled after the classic Horn-Schunck method for estimating optical flow. Unlike traditional interferometric methods, CSPI requires no precision instrumentation to perform phase stepping. We demonstrate its effectiveness by measuring per-pixel displacements and motions at sub-micrometer scales, visualizing high-frequency vibrations of a tuning fork and a Chladni plate, and recovering sound indirectly from these vibrations.

Despite recent advances in multimodal reasoning, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) still struggle on complex tasks where initial visual perceptions can be misleading. This performance gap stems from a critical reasoning flaw we term Visual Inertia: while MLLMs excel at iterative reflection in textual contexts, they tend to uncritically commit to their initial visual interpretations and rarely revise them. To overcome this limitation, we introduce GThinker, an MLLM equipped with a novel adaptive visual rethinking capability. GThinker leverages Cue-Rethinking, a flexible reasoning pattern that not only grounds reasoning in visual cues but also strategically triggers a re-examination of these cues to resolve inconsistencies. To instill this capability, we introduce a novel two-stage training framework. It begins with a pattern-guided cold start, enhanced by a judge-guided selective mechanism to learn from failure cases, followed by incentive reinforcement learning. We further curate the GThinker-11K dataset to power the training with an iterative multimodal annotation pipeline. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GThinker significantly mitigates visual inertia during reasoning, achieving a leading 81.5% on the M3CoT benchmark, which is rich in such challenges, surpassing the powerful o4-mini model. Furthermore, GThinker shows consistent improvements across a range of multimodal reasoning benchmarks with an average gain of 2.1%, showcasing the broad benefits of equipping MLLMs with the ability to rethink both what they see and how they think. Data, model, and code are available at https://github.com/jefferyZhan/GThinker.

Masked visual modeling is a self-supervised learning task that does not use visual annotations. It aims to learn discriminative representations via a mask-reconstruction task. A single mask ratio in reconstruction may fail to capture complex semantics, which motivates dynamic masking strategies. In this work, we propose Progressive Mask Distillation (PMD), which utilizes dynamic mask ratios to facilitate progressive semantic learning from easy to hard. PMD integrates three key components: a progressive student distiller, a difficulty-aware region enhancer, and a cross-layer feature aligner. First, to capture dynamic visual semantics, we design a progressive student distiller that trains multiple student models with progressively increasing mask ratios. The early-phase student (with a low mask ratio) learns easy, low-level semantics from more visible tokens. This learned knowledge then guides the next-phase student (with a higher mask ratio) to capture hard, high-level semantics from fewer visible tokens. This progressive distillation mechanism enhances detail reconstruction at a high mask ratio. Second, to alleviate insufficient learning of semantic regions, we design a difficulty-aware region enhancer. We first smooth the region reconstruction loss to reduce large fluctuations across training epochs. The smoothed loss is then used to learn region-level weights, prioritizing accurate learning of regions with large reconstruction losses. Third, to further bridge the semantic gap across network layers, we design cross-layer feature alignment. This module aligns features across shallow, middle, and deep encoder layers, ensuring that shallow-layer features incorporate semantic information from deeper layers. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on the Something-Something V2, Kinetics-400, UCF-101, and HMDB-51 datasets.

Flicker artifacts, arising from unstable illumination and row-wise exposure inconsistencies, pose a significant challenge in short-exposure photography, severely degrading image quality. Unlike typical artifacts, e.g., noise and low-light, flicker is a structured degradation with specific spatial-temporal patterns, which are not accounted for in current generic restoration frameworks, leading to suboptimal flicker suppression and ghosting artifacts. In this work, we reveal that flicker artifacts exhibit two intrinsic characteristics, periodicity and directionality, and propose Flickerformer, a transformer-based architecture that effectively removes flicker without introducing ghosting. Specifically, Flickerformer comprises three key components: a phase-based fusion module (PFM), an autocorrelation feed-forward network (AFFN), and a wavelet-based directional attention module (WDAM). Based on the periodicity, PFM performs inter-frame phase correlation to adaptively aggregate burst features, while AFFN exploits intra-frame structural regularities through autocorrelation, jointly enhancing the network's ability to perceive spatially recurring patterns. Moreover, motivated by the directionality of flicker artifacts, WDAM leverages high-frequency variations in the wavelet domain to guide the restoration of low-frequency dark regions, yielding precise localization of flicker artifacts. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Flickerformer outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in both quantitative metrics and visual quality.

The proliferation of neural radiance field (NeRF) research requires significant efforts to reimplement papers before building upon them. We introduce NERFIFY, a multi-agent framework that reliably converts NeRF research papers into trainable Nerfstudio plugins, in contrast to generic paper-to-code methods and frontier models like GPT-5 that usually fail to produce runnable code. NERFIFY achieves domain-specific executability through six key innovations: (1) Context-free grammar (CFG): LLM synthesis is constrained by Nerfstudio formalized as a CFG, ensuring generated code satisfies architectural invariants. (2) Graph-of-Thought code synthesis: Specialized multi-file-agents generate repositories in topological dependency order, validating contracts and errors at each node. (3) Compositional citation recovery: Agents automatically retrieve and integrate components (samplers, encoders, proposal networks) from citation graphs of references. (4) Visual feedback: Artifacts are diagnosed through PSNR-minima ROI analysis, cross-view geometric validation, and VLM-guided patching to iteratively improve quality. (5) Knowledge enhancement: Beyond reproduction, methods can be improved with novel regularizers or architectural optimizations. (6) Benchmarking: An evaluation framework is designed for NeRF paper-to-code synthesis across 30 diverse papers. On papers without public implementations, NERFIFY achieves visual quality matching expert human code (+-0.5 dB PSNR, +-0.2 SSIM) while reducing implementation time from weeks to minutes. NERFIFY demonstrates that a domain-aware design enables code translation for complex vision papers, potentiating accelerated and democratized reproducible research. Code, data and implementations are publicly available at https://seemandhar.github.io/NERFIFY/.

Long-form video reasoning remains a major challenge for Video Large Language Models (Video LLMs), as static uniform frame sampling leads to information dilution and obscures critical evidence. Furthermore, existing pixel-space video reasoning agents, which are designed to actively interact with the video to acquire new visual information, remain suboptimal due to their lack of rigorous reward mechanisms to enforce evidence purity and their inability to perform temporal information supplementation beyond pre-sampled frames. To address this critical gap, we propose a novel evidence-prioritized adaptive framework built upon our core philosophy: "Select Less, Reason More." Our core contribution is the evidence-aware reinforcement learning (EARL) framework, which transforms the model into an active interrogator of evidence. EARL is precisely engineered to dynamically select the most relevant frames and, crucially, to perform localized re-sampling around the selected key frames to access fine-grained temporal detail. Extensive experiments on five demanding video reasoning benchmarks demonstrate that our EARL-trained model achieves new state-of-the-art among open-source Video LLMs, simultaneously learning an effective and high-purity visual evidence selection policy. Impressively, our 7B model achieves 59.8% on LongVideoBench, 69.0% on MVBench and 64.9% on VideoMME. These results highlight the importance of prioritizing evidence purity and the effectiveness of our framework.

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have enabled notable progress in general-purpose robotic manipulation, yet their learned policies often exhibit variable execution quality. We attribute this variability to the mixed-quality nature of human demonstrations, where the implicit principles that govern how actions should be carried out are only partially satisfied. To address this challenge, we introduce the LIBERO-Elegant benchmark with explicit criteria for evaluating execution quality. Using these criteria, we develop a decoupled refinement framework that improves execution quality without modifying or retraining the base VLA policy. We formalize Elegant Execution as the satisfaction of Implicit Task Constraints (ITCs) and train an Elegance Critic via offline Calibrated Q-Learning to estimate the expected quality of candidate actions. At inference time, a Just-in-Time Intervention (JITI) mechanism monitors critic confidence and intervenes only at decision-critical moments, providing selective, on-demand refinement. Experiments on LIBERO-Elegant and real-world manipulation tasks show that the learned Elegance Critic substantially improves execution quality, even on unseen tasks. The proposed model enables robotic control that values not only whether tasks succeed, but also how they are performed.

The rapid advancement of AIGC-based video generation has underscored the critical need for comprehensive evaluation frameworks that go beyond traditional generation quality metrics to encompass aesthetic appeal. However, existing benchmarks remain largely focused on technical fidelity, leaving a significant gap in holistic assessment--particularly with respect to perceptual and artistic qualities. To address this limitation, we introduce VGA-Bench, a unified benchmark for joint evaluation of video generation quality and aesthetic quality. VGA-Bench is built upon a principled three-tier taxonomy: Aesthetic Quality, Aesthetic Tagging, and Generation Quality, each decomposed into multiple fine-grained sub-dimensions to enable systematic assessment. Guided by this taxonomy, we design 1,016 diverse prompts and generate a large-scale dataset of over 60,000 videos using 12 video generation models, ensuring broad coverage across content, style, and artifacts. To enable scalable and automated evaluation, we annotate a subset of the dataset via human labeling and develop three dedicated multi-task neural assessors: VAQA-Net for aesthetic quality prediction, VTag-Net for automatic aesthetic tagging, and VGQA-Net for generation and basic quality attributes. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our models achieve reliable alignment with human judgments, offering both accuracy and efficiency. We release VGA-Bench as a public benchmark to foster research in AIGC evaluation, with applications in content moderation, model debugging, and generative model optimization.

Video highlight detection aims to identify the most engaging segments in long-form videos, supporting content editing and recommendation, especially for movies and TV dramas. However, existing methods are ill-suited to cinematic content due to its narrative complexity, while the scarcity of annotated data and the high cost of manual labeling further hinder progress. To bridge this gap, we introduce **TVHighlights**, the first large-scale dataset tailored for video highlight detection in movies and TV dramas, with 1,721 carefully curated videos covering diverse genres. Built on community-driven behaviors, it provides realistic and diverse annotations without human labeling. Based on TVHighlights, we propose **LTV-HD**: a LLM-guided, human-free collaborative training framework for video highlight detection in cinematic content. LTV-HD operates in two stages: (1) weakly supervised pre-training of a lightweight model using video-level labels, followed by (2) iterative refinement through collaboration between large language models (LLMs) and the lightweight model. LLMs generate noisy clip-level pseudo-labels, which the lightweight model learns from under a noise-robust strategy, and its high-confidence predictions are then fed back to guide the LLM in distilling genre-specific highlight patterns through a self-improving loop. Experiments demonstrate that LTV-HD achieves state-of-the-art performance on TVHighlights, validating its effectiveness in real-world, annotation-free scenarios.

Vision Transformers (ViTs) have achieved remarkable progress in visual and multimodal tasks, yet their deployment remains costly. Token-adaptive methods reduce FLOPs through dynamic depth computation, but they face two limitations: (1) Global attention overemphasizes highly similar foreground regions, causing token-adaptive modules to assign the deepest computation to semantically weak foreground tokens while prematurely exiting edge tokens rich in structural cues (as shown in Fig. 1); (2) Although token-adaption lowers FLOPs, it still relies on large parameter sets, and deep-layer weights remain underutilized due to early token exit. Parameter sharing could address redundancy but is difficult to apply in ViTs, where hierarchical abstraction typically requires diverse transformations. To address these issues, we propose Edge-RecViT, an Edge-Adaptive Dynamic Recursive Vision Transformer that integrates an edge-aware token-adaptive ranker with a recursive transformer using fully shared parameters in its hidden layers. Edge-RecViT dynamically allocates computation based on semantic richness: structurally informative edge tokens receive deeper refinement, whereas redundant low-information tokens exit early. Extensive experiments show that Edge-RecViT provides an excellent trade-off among accuracy, FLOPs, and parameter efficiency. On ImageNet-1K, it matches DeiT within 0.3% Top-1 accuracy while reducing FLOPs by 30.5% (35.1 to 24.39 GFLOPs). At the Base level, parameter drops from 86M to 23.21M with higher accuracy than ViT-Base; compared with ViT-Large, parameters are reduced by 93% while maintaining superior accuracy.

Scintillators are transparent materials that interact with high-energy particles and emit visible light as a result. They are used in state of the art methods of measuring high-energy particles and radiation sources. Most existing methods use fast single-pixel detectors to detect and time scintillation events. Cameras provide spatial resolution but can only capture an average over many events, making it difficult to image the events associated with an individual particle. Emerging single-photon avalanche diode cameras combine speed and spatial resolution to enable capturing images of individual events. This allows us to use machine vision techniques to analyze events, enabling new types of detectors. The main challenge is the very low brightness of the events. Techniques have to work with a very limited number of photons. We propose a kaleidoscopic scintillator to increase light collection in a single-photon camera while preserving the event's spatial information. The kaleidoscopic geometry creates mirror reflections of the event in known locations for a given event location that are captured by the camera. We introduce theory for imaging an event in a kaleidoscopic scintillator and an algorithm to estimate the event's 3D position. We find that the kaleidoscopic scintillator design provides sufficient light collection to perform high-resolution event measurements for advanced radiation imaging techniques using a commercial CMOS single-photon camera.

Autonomous driving heavily relies on accurate and robust spatial perception. Many failures arise from inaccuracies and instability, especially in long-tail scenarios and complex interactions. However, current vision-language models are weak at spatial grounding and understanding, and VLA systems built on them therefore show limited perception and localization ability.To address these challenges, we introduce Percept-WAM, a perception-enhanced World-Awareness-Action Model that is the first to implicitly integrate 2D/3D scene understanding abilities within a single vision-language model (VLM).Instead of relying on QA-style spatial reasoning, Percept-WAM unifies 2D/3D perception tasks into World-PV and World-BEV tokens, which encode both spatial coordinates and confidence.We propose a grid-conditioned prediction mechanism for dense object perception, incorporating IoU-aware scoring and parallel autoregressive decoding, improving stability in long-tail, far-range, and small-object scenarios. Additionally, Percept-WAM leverages pretrained VLM parameters to retain general intelligence (e.g., logical reasoning) and can output perception results and trajectory control outputs directly. Experiments show that Percept-WAM matches or surpasses classical detectors and segmenters on downstream perception benchmarks, achieving 51.7/58.9 mAP on COCO 2D detection and nuScenes BEV 3D detection. When integrated with trajectory decoders, it further improves planning performance on nuScenes and NAVSIM, e.g., surpassing DiffusionDrive by 2.1 in PMDS on NAVSIM.Qualitative results further highlight its strong open-vocabulary and long-tail generalization.

High-quality and carefully curated data is a cornerstone of training medical large language models, as it directly impacts both generalization and robustness to unseen clinical tasks. We investigate strategies for training and data curation to develop a robust multimodal reasoning model in the medical domain. Our work focuses on supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and explores data recipes that leverage structured reasoning traces. Using our proposed data recipe, we scale experiments to a dataset of over 8 million examples and 6.8 billion response tokens, achieving state-of-the-art performance among open-source models across diverse out-of-distribution medical benchmark tasks. Our results further indicate that curating a high-quality, diverse training dataset with varying structured reasoning trace lengths enables the fine-tuned model to self-calibrate its reasoning trajectory lengths based on the downstream task, without explicit supervision. We present key insights, describe the data curation strategy, and outline next steps toward developing robust medical vision-language reasoning systems.

Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) are emerging as a main paradigm for processing vision-language medical tasks due to their promising achievements. However, existing approaches exhibit two significant limitations in both retrieval and generation stage: First, during the retrieval stage, most methods typically rely on a single similarity signal to estimate document relevance, ignoring the rich information available in multimodal data, which may fail to accurately retrieve matching content. Second, in the generation stage, retrieved documents are integrated directly and uniformly into the input for LVLMs, without taking into account their varying relevance to the question, which may result in the dilution of crucial information and exacerbate the negative impact of irrelevant content. To address these limitations, we propose MR-RAG, a dual-stage RAG enhancement framework by considering multimodal relevance in both retrieval and generation phases. Specifically, a Multimodal Cooperative Retrieval (MCR) module leverages intra- and cross-modal signals for precise document alignment. Subsequently, an Importance-Aware Information Flow Augmentation (IFA) mechanism adjusts attention paths based on fused relevance to refine answer generation. By bridging retrieval and generation via multimodal signals, MR-RAG significantly improves factual accuracy. Experiments on three medical datasets show our method outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving up to a 6.4% accuracy gain.

Abstract visual reasoning benchmarks such as ARC-AGI evaluate the ability to infer generalizable transformation rules from few graphical demonstrations, a capability where current deep learning models severely underperform. Mainstream LLMs achieve only 15.8% (DeepSeek-R1) and 34.5% (o3-mini-high) accuracy. The core reason lies in their static processing of task examples: unlike humans, who iteratively refine their understanding of examples while solving problems, these models lack mechanisms for dynamically aligning understanding and solving. We address this gap with the Understanding and Solving Reasoning Loop (USRL) framework. The architecture comprises two explicitly interacting modules: an Understanding Module (UM) that encodes and refines rule representations of examples, and a Solving Module (SM) that generates a draft solution informed by these evolving rule representations. Through recurrent interaction, the model iteratively aligns its draft solution with its understanding about task examples continuously. Furthermore, we introduce an adaptive reasoning halting mechanism that autonomously terminates the reasoning loop based on the consistency between the generated draft solution and the examples. With 7M parameters, our model achieves 47.2% accuracy on ARC-AGI-1.

Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have led to remarkable progress in visual grounding, enabling fine-grained cross-modal alignment between textual queries and image regions. However, transferring such capabilities to remote sensing imagery remains challenging, as targets are often extremely small within kilometer-scale scenes, and queries typically involve intricate geospatial relations such as relative positions, spatial hierarchies, or contextual dependencies across distant objects.To address these challenges, we propose GeoViS, a Geospatially Rewarded Visual Search framework that reformulates remote sensing visual grounding as a progressive search-and-reasoning process. Rather than directly predicting the target location in a single step, GeoViS actively explores the global image through a tree-structured sequence of visual cues, integrating multimodal perception, spatial reasoning, and reward-guided exploration to refine geospatial hypotheses iteratively. This design enables the model to detect subtle small-scale targets while maintaining holistic scene awareness.Extensive experiments on five remote sensing grounding benchmarks demonstrate that GeoViS achieves precise geospatial understanding and consistently surpasses existing methods across key visual grounding metrics, highlighting its strong cross-domain generalization and interpretability.
