ManifoldGD: Training-Free Hierarchical Manifold Guidance for Diffusion-Based Dataset Distillation

Ayush Roy, Wei-Yang Alex Lee, Rudrasis Chakraborty, Vishnu Suresh Lokhande

展开摘要

In recent times, large datasets hinder efficient model training while also containing redundant concepts. Dataset distillation aims to synthesize compact datasets that preserve the knowledge of large-scale training sets while drastically reducing storage and computation. Recent advances in diffusion models have enabled training-free distillation by leveraging pre-trained generative priors; however, existing guidance strategies remain limited. Current score-based methods either perform unguided denoising or rely on simple mode-based guidance toward instance prototype centroids (IPC centroids), which often are rudimentary and suboptimal. We propose Manifold-Guided Distillation (ManifoldGD), a training-free diffusion-based framework that integrates manifold consistent guidance at every denoising timestep. Our method employs IPCs computed via a hierarchical, divisive clustering of VAE latent features--yielding a multi-scale coreset of IPCs that captures both coarse semantic modes and fine intra-class variability. Using a local neighborhood of the extracted IPC centroids, we create the latent manifold for each diffusion denoising timestep. At each denoising step, we project the mode-alignment vector onto the local tangent space of the estimated latent manifold, thus constraining the generation trajectory to remain manifold-faithful while preserving semantic consistency. This formulation improves representativeness, diversity, and image fidelity without requiring any model retraining. Empirical results demonstrate consistent gains over existing training-free and training-based baselines in terms of FID, l_2 distance among real and synthetic dataset embeddings, and classification accuracy, establishing ManifoldGD as the first geometry-aware training-free data distillation framework.

HiFi-BRep: High-Fidelity Latent Representation for Robust B-Rep Generation

Junhao Hou, Chenqi Luo, Pufan Wang, Jiaying Lu, Yusheng Liu, Feiwei Qin, Meie Fang, Kun Zhou

展开摘要

Boundary representation (B-Rep) generation is a fundamental task in computer-aided design, yet the direct synthesis of high-fidelity and structurally valid B-Reps remains a major challenge. Existing deep generative methods suffer from two forms of brittleness: representation brittleness, caused by padding noise and feature contamination in the latent space, and generation brittleness, stemming from sequential error propagation and a train-inference mismatch due to non-differentiable validity enforcement. We propose HiFi-BRep, a novel framework that addresses these limitations through two synergistic contributions. First, a topology-aware encoder constructs a high-fidelity latent representation by eliminating padding via learnable queries and preventing feature contamination with topology-guided attention. Second, a single-stage decoder jointly predicts geometry and topology in parallel, embedding core manifold constraints as a differentiable learning objective. This design ensures mutual guidance between geometry and topology while avoiding cascaded errors. Extensive experiments show that HiFi-BRep significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both structural validity and geometric fidelity, providing a robust solution for high-quality B-Rep synthesis. Code and models are publicly available at https://github.com/1nnoh/HiFi-BRep.

Towards Decompositional Human Motion Generation with Energy-Based Diffusion Models

Jianrong Zhang, Hehe Fan, Yi Yang

展开摘要

Human motions are compositional: complex behaviors can be described as combinations of simpler primitives. However, existing approaches primarily focus on forward modeling, e.g., learning holistic mappings from text to motion or composing a complex motion from a set of motion concepts. In this paper, we consider the inverse perspective: decomposing a holistic motion into semantically meaningful sub-components. We propose DeMoGen, a compositional training paradigm for decompositional learning that employs an energy-based diffusion model. This energy formulation directly captures the composed distribution of multiple motion concepts, enabling the model to discover them without relying on ground-truth motions for individual concepts. Within this paradigm, we introduce three training variants to encourage a decompositional understanding of motion: 1. DeMoGen-Exp explicitly trains on decomposed text prompts; 2. DeMoGen-OSS performs orthogonal self-supervised decomposition; 3. DeMoGen-SC enforces semantic consistency between original and decomposed text embeddings. These variants enable our approach to disentangle reusable motion primitives from complex motion sequences. We also demonstrate that the decomposed motion concepts can be flexibly recombined to generate diverse and novel motions, generalizing beyond the training distribution. Additionally, we construct a text-decomposed dataset to support compositional training, serving as an extended resource to facilitate text-to-motion generation and motion composition.

DuoMo: Dual Motion Diffusion for World-Space Human Reconstruction

Yufu Wang, Evonne Ng, Soyong Shin, Rawal Khirodkar, Yuan Dong, Zhaoen Su, Jinhyung Park, Kris Kitani, Alexander Richard, Fabian Prada, Michael Zollhofer

展开摘要

We present DuoMo, a generative method that recovers human motion in world-space coordinates from unconstrained videos with noisy or incomplete observations. Reconstructing such motion requires solving a fundamental trade-off: generalizing from diverse and noisy video inputs while maintaining global motion consistency. Our approach addresses this problem by factorizing motion learning into two diffusion models. The camera-space model first estimates motion from videos in camera coordinates. The world-space model then lifts this initial estimate into world coordinates and refines it to be globally consistent. Together, the two models can reconstruct motion across diverse scenes and trajectories, even from highly noisy or incomplete observations. Moreover, our formulation is general, generating the motion of mesh vertices directly (bypassing parametric models). DuoMo achieves state-of-the-art performance. On EMDB, our method obtains a 16% reduction in world-space MPJPE error while maintaining low foot skating. On RICH, it obtains a 30% reduction in world-space MPJPE error.

Learning to Control Physically-simulated 3D Characters via Generating and Mimicking 2D Motions

Jianan Li, Xiao Chen, Tao Huang, Tien-Tsin Wong

展开摘要

Video data is more cost-effective than motion capture data for learning 3D character controllers, yet using it to generate realistic and physically plausible motions remains challenging. Previous approaches typically rely on off-the-shelf motion reconstruction techniques to extract 3D kinematic trajectories for physics-based imitation. However, these approaches are fundamentally limited by the physical implausibility of the estimated motions and lack a unified framework for handling non-human subjects and complex human-object interactions (HOI). We tackle this challenge by introducing Mimic2DM, a novel motion imitation framework that learns the control policy directly and solely from 2D motions extracted from videos. By formulating a 2D motion tracking objective, we train a general single-view tracking policy capable of imitating arbitrary reference motions in a physics simulation using exclusively 2D data. Furthermore, by training on 2D motions from diverse viewpoints, our view-agnostic policy implicitly learns 3D motion structures, allowing it to perform full 3D motion tracking simply by aggregating multiple views. To extend this capability, we integrate the tracking policy with an autoregressive transformer-based 2D motion generator, constructing a hierarchical control framework capable of long-horizon motion synthesis and interactive control. We show that the proposed approach is versatile and effectively synthesizes physically plausible and diverse motions across a range of domains, including dancing, soccer dribbling, and animal locomotion, without any reliance on explicit 3D motion data.

Neural Collapse in Test-Time Adaptation

Xiao Chen, Zhongjing Du, Jiazhen Huang, Xu Jiang, Li Lu, Jingyan Jiang, Zhi Wang

展开摘要

Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) enhances model robustness to out-of-distribution (OOD) data by updating the model online during inference, yet existing methods lack theoretical insights into the fundamental causes of performance degradation under domain shifts. Recently, Neural Collapse (NC) has been proposed as an emergent geometric property of deep neural networks (DNNs), providing valuable insights for TTA. In this work, we extend NC to the sample-wise level and discover a novel phenomenon termed Sample-wise Alignment Collapse (NC3+), demonstrating that a sample's feature embedding, obtained by a trained model, aligns closely with the corresponding classifier weight. Building on NC3+, we identify that the performance degradation stems from sample-wise misalignment in adaptation which exacerbates under larger distribution shifts. This indicates the necessity of realigning the feature embeddings with their corresponding classifier weights. However, the misalignment makes pseudo-labels unreliable under domain shifts. To address this challenge, we propose NCTTA, a novel feature-classifier alignment method with hybrid targets to mitigate the impact of unreliable pseudo-labels, which blends geometric proximity with predictive confidence. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of NCTTA in enhancing robustness to domain shifts. For example, NCTTA outperforms Tent by 14.52% on ImageNet-C.

AeroGS: Scale-Aware Gaussian Splatting for Pose-Free Dynamic UAV Scene Reconstruction

Tingyun Li, Xinyi Liu, Yongjun Zhang, Yi Wan, Xiaoan Liu, Weiwei Fan, Jiahao Liu

展开摘要

Monocular UAV videos pose a fundamental challenge for 3D reconstruction: dynamic scene modeling requires accurate camera poses, yet recovering poses from long UAV trajectories often fails in texture-sparse regions and in the presence of moving objects. Existing approaches typically handle either pose-free static reconstruction or dynamic reconstruction with known poses, but jointly solving both from casual aerial footage remains difficult due to motion coupling and severe scale variation. We introduce AeroGS, a scale-aware Gaussian splatting framework that jointly recovers camera trajectories and reconstructs dynamic scenes from pose-free monocular videos. Central to our method are scale-aware spatio-temporal anchors (S2A-Anchors), which enable a unified optimization via three key decoupling mechanisms: (i) separating ego-motion from object motion, (ii) isolating static geometry from temporal deformation, and (iii) adapting to scale variation between distant terrain and nearby objects. This design effectively stabilizes optimization under large motion and scale imbalance. Extensive experiments on UAV and driving benchmarks show that AeroGS achieves state-of-the-art rendering quality (PSNR/LPIPS), precise trajectory recovery (ATE/RPE), and faithful motion reconstruction, consistently surpassing recent pose-free baselines.

Unified Customized Generation by Disentangled Reward Modeling

Shaojin Wu, Mengqi Huang, Yufeng Cheng, Wenxu Wu, Jiahe Tian, Yiming Luo, Fei Ding, Qian HE

展开摘要

Existing literature typically treats various customized generation tasks (e.g., subject-customized generation, style-customized generation) as distinct and disjoint problems, with each task focusing solely on customizing a specific aspect of the reference image. However, we argue that the objectives of these different customization tasks are inherently complementary and can be mutually enhanced within a unified framework, as they fundamentally involve the disentanglement of multiple feature aspects from the reference image. To this end, we introduce USO, a Unified Simultaneous Optimization framework to simultaneously unify different customized tasks (i.e., subject and style). Specifically, USO introduces a cyclical data-model framework that connects these two tasks by a subject-for-style data curation pipeline and a style-for-subject model training pipeline. The subject-for-style data curation pipeline leverages a state-of-the-art subject-customized model to generate high-quality triplet data comprising content images, style images, and their corresponding stylized content images. Building on this foundation, the style-for-subject model training pipeline introduces an auxiliary style reward to simultaneously align style and content features, thereby reinforcing the model's ability to extract the desired style or content features from the reference image. Extensive experiments demonstrate that USO achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source models, excelling in both subject consistency and style similarity.

Single-step Diffusion-based Video Coding with Semantic-Temporal Guidance

Naifu Xue, Zhaoyang Jia, Jiahao Li, Bin Li, Zihan Zheng, Yuan Zhang, Yan Lu

展开摘要

While traditional and neural video codecs (NVCs) have achieved remarkable rate-distortion performance, improving perceptual quality at low bitrates remains challenging. Some NVCs incorporate perceptual or adversarial objectives but still suffer from artifacts due to limited generation capacity, whereas others leverage pretrained diffusion models to improve quality at the cost of high sampling complexity. To overcome these challenges, we propose S2VC, a Single Step diffusion-based Video Codec that integrates a conditional coding framework with an efficient single-step diffusion generator, enabling realistic reconstruction at low bitrates with reduced sampling cost. Recognizing the importance of semantic conditioning in single-step diffusion, we introduce Contextual Semantic Guidance to extract frame-adaptive semantics from buffered features. This guidance replaces text captions with efficient, fine-grained conditioning, thereby improving generation realism. In addition, Temporal Consistency Guidance is incorporated into the diffusion U-Net to enforce temporal coherence across frames and ensure stable generation. Extensive experiments show that S2VC delivers state-of-the-art perceptual quality with an average bitrate saving of 51.62% over prior perceptual method, underscoring the promise of single-step diffusion for efficient, high-quality video compression.

StyleTextGen: Style-Conditioned Multilingual Scene Text Generation

Zeyu Chen, Fangmin Zhao, Yan Shu, Yichao Liu, Liu Yu, Yu Zhou

展开摘要

Style-conditioned scene text generation faces unique challenges in extracting precise text styles from complex backgrounds and maintaining fine-grained style consistency across characters, especially for multilingual scripts. We propose StyleTextGen, a novel framework that learns to perceive and replicate visual text styles across different languages and writing systems. Our approach features three key contributions: First, we introduce a dual-branch style encoder dedicated to style modeling, yielding robust multilingual text style representations in complex real-world scenes. Second, we design a text style consistency loss that enhances style coherence and improves overall visual quality. Third, we develop a mask-guided inference strategy that ensures precise style alignment between generated and reference text. To facilitate systematic evaluation, we construct StyleText-CE, a bilingual scene text style benchmark covering both monolingual and cross-lingual settings. Extensive experiments demonstrate that StyleTextGen significantly outperforms existing methods in style consistency and cross-lingual generalization, establishing new state-of-the-art performance in multilingual style-conditioned text generation.

SimScale: Learning to Drive via Real-World Simulation at Scale

Haochen Tian, Tianyu Li, Haochen Liu, Jiazhi Yang, Yihang Qiu, Guang Li, Junli Wang, Yinfeng Gao, Zhang Zhang, Liang Wang, Hangjun Ye, Long Chen, Hongyang Li

展开摘要

Achieving fully autonomous driving systems requires learning rational decisions in a wide span of scenarios, including safety-critical and out-of-distribution ones. However, such cases are underrepresented in real-world corpus collected by human experts. To complement for the lack of data diversity, we introduce a novel and scalable simulation framework capable of synthesizing massive unseen states upon existing driving logs. Our pipeline utilizes advanced neural rendering with a reactive environment to generate high-fidelity multi-view observations controlled by the perturbed ego trajectory. Furthermore, we develop a pseudo-expert trajectory generation mechanism for these newly simulated states to provide action supervision. Upon the synthesized data, we find that a simple co-training strategy on both real-world and simulated samples can lead to significant improvements in both robustness and generalization for various planning methods on challenging real-world benchmarks, up to +8.6 EPDMS on navhard and +2.9 on navtest. More importantly, such policy improvement scales smoothly by increasing simulation data only, even without extra real-world data streaming in. We further reveal several crucial findings of such a sim-real learning system, which we term SimScale, including the design of pseudo-experts and the scaling properties for different policy architectures. Simulation data and code have been released at https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/SimScale.

Fourier Angle Alignment for Oriented Object Detection in Remote Sensing

Changyu Gu, Linwei Chen, Lin Gu, Ying Fu

展开摘要

In remote sensing rotated object detection, mainstream methods suffer from two bottlenecks, directional incoherence at detector neck and task conflict at detecting head. Ulitising fourier rotation equivariance, we introduce Fourier Angle Alignment, which analyses angle information through frequency spectrum and aligns the main direction to a certain orientation. Then we propose two plug and play modules : FAAFusion and FAA Head. FAAFusion works at the detector neck, aligning the main direction of higher-level features to the lower-level features and then fusing them. FAA Head serves as a new detection head, which pre-aligns RoI features to a canonical angle and adds them to the original features before classification and regression. Experiments on DOTA-v1.0, DOTA-v1.5 and HRSC2016 show that our method can greatly improve previous work. Particularly, our method achieves new state-of-the-art results of 78.72% mAP on DOTA-v1.0 and 72.28% mAP on DOTA-v1.5 datasets with single scale training and testing, validating the efficacy of our approach in remote sensing object detection. The code will be public upon acceptance.

Open-Vocabulary Domain Generalization in Urban-Scene Segmentation

Dong Zhao, Qi Zang, Nan Pu, Wenjing Li, Nicu Sebe, Zhun Zhong

展开摘要

Domain Generalization in Semantic Segmentation (DG-SS) aims to enable segmentation models to perform robustly in unseen environments. However, conventional DG-SS methods are restricted to a fixed set of known categories, limiting their applicability in open-world scenarios. Recent progress in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) has advanced Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation (OV-SS) by enabling models to recognize a broader range of concepts. Yet, these models remain sensitive to domain shifts and struggle to maintain robustness when deployed in unseen environments, a challenge that is particularly severe in urban-driving scenarios. To bridge this gap, we introduce Open-Vocabulary Domain Generalization in Semantic Segmentation (OVDG-SS), a new setting that jointly addresses unseen domains and unseen categories. We introduce the first benchmark for OVDG-SS in autonomous driving, addressing a previously unexplored problem and covering both synthetic-to-real and real-to-real generalization across diverse unseen domains and unseen categories. In OVDG-SS, we observe that domain shifts often distort text-image correlations in pre-trained VLMs, which hinders the performance of OV-SS models. To tackle this challenge, we propose S^2-Corr, a state-space-driven text-image correlation refinement mechanism that can mitigate domain-induced distortions and produce a more consistent text-image correlation under distribution changes. Extensive experiments on our constructed benchmark demonstrate that the proposed method achieves superior cross-domain performance and efficiency compared to existing OV-SS approaches.

UniMERNet: A Universal Network for Real-World Mathematical Expression Recognition

Zhuangcheng Gu, Guang Liang, Bin Wang, Zhiyuan Zhao, Qintong Zhang, Weijia Li, Chao Xu, Bo Zhang, Botian Shi, Jiang Wu, Wentao Zhang, Conghui He

展开摘要

This paper introduces UniMERNet, a high-accuracy, computation-efficient algorithm for Mathematical Expression Recognition (MER) across diverse real-world scenarios. To facilitate UniMERNet's training, we constructed UniMER-1M, a million-scale dataset whose unprecedented diversity endows the model with robust generalization ability. Through in-depth analysis, we discover a distinctive raster-scan pattern (left-to-right, top-to-bottom) in the attention distribution of Transformer models for MER tasks, which closely aligns with human reading habits. Based on this key finding, we design an innovative **Raster-Scan Attention** mechanism that employs a "horizontal-first, vertical-second" sequential attention computation strategy. This approach not only successfully reduces computational complexity from \mathcal O (NH^2W^2D) to \mathcal O (NHWD(H + W)) , but also enables the model to capture long-range dependencies more efficiently, achieving recognition performance comparable to global attention. Leveraging both UniMER-1M and our innovative attention mechanism, UniMERNet achieves state-of-the-art performance across four real-world scenarios while significantly reducing computational resources compared to global attention: over **1.2x** memory savings during training, approximately **10x** memory reduction during inference, and **5x** speed with slightly improved accuracy. All resources will be publicly released to advance MER research further.

A Debiased Reconstruction-based Framework for Training-Free Detection of AI-Generated Images

Sungik Choi, Hankook Lee, Jaehoon Lee, Robin Kim, Stanley Jungkyu Choi, Moontae Lee

展开摘要

As recent AI models have successfully generated high-resolution photorealistic images, it has also been socially important to detect whether an image is generated by AI. Since training data for the detection task is often not available due to the diversity of generative models, training-free detection approaches have been practically considered. A common approach is to utilize the image-level reconstruction error from the latent diffusion model (LDM). However, we find this score suffers from instance-specific biases, particularly in images with simple backgrounds. To this end, we propose a novel image-level debiasing score function that cancels out background contribution by normalizing the reconstruction error on the augmented images with similar background information. To be specific, we show that rotation and low-pass filtering are effective augmentation strategies. To promote generalization to broader generative models, we newly explore latent-level reconstruction error as an additional training-free signal. However, we observe that the latent-level score also suffers to latent-specific bias. To mitigate this, we introduce a rotation-based latent-level debiasing score based on the normalization of the rotated latent. We unify the aforementioned scores into a single unified debiasing score, RDD, which achieves state-of-the-art training-free detection performance across diverse generative models. Furthermore, our framework can be robust to corruption of the examined images.

Plug-and-Play PDE Optimization for 3D Gaussian Splatting: Toward High-Quality Rendering and Reconstruction

Yifan Mo, Youcheng Cai, Ligang Liu

展开摘要

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has revolutionized radiance field reconstruction by achieving high-quality novel view synthesis with fast rendering speed, introducing 3D Gaussian primitives to represent the scene. However, 3DGS encounters blurring and floaters when applied to complex scenes, caused by the reconstruction of redundant and ambiguous geometric structures. We attribute this issue to the unstable optimization of the Gaussians. To address this limitation, we present a plug-and-play PDE-based optimization method that overcomes the optimization constraints of 3DGS-based approaches in various tasks, such as novel view synthesis and surface reconstruction. Firstly, we theoretically derive that the 3DGS optimization procedure can be modeled as a PDE, and introduce a viscous term to ensure stable optimization. Secondly, we use the Material Point Method (MPM) to obtain a stable numerical solution of the PDE, which enhances both global and local constraints. Additionally, an effective Gaussian densification strategy and particle constraints are introduced to ensure fine-grained details. Extensive qualitative and quantitative experiments confirm that our method achieves state-of-the-art rendering and reconstruction quality.

Saliency-R1: Enforcing Interpretable and Faithful Vision-language Reasoning via Saliency-map Alignment Reward

Shizhan Gong, Minda Hu, Qiyuan Zhang, Chen Ma, Qi Dou

展开摘要

Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable success across diverse tasks. However, concerns about their trustworthiness persist, particularly regarding tendencies to lean more on textual cues than visual evidence and the risk of producing ungrounded or fabricated responses. To address these issues, we propose Saliency-R1, a framework for improving the interpretability and faithfulness of VLMs reasoning. Specifically, we introduce a novel saliency map technique that efficiently highlights critical image regions contributing to generated tokens without additional computational overhead. This can further be extended to trace how visual information flows through the reasoning process to the final answers, revealing the alignment between the thinking process and the visual context. We use the overlap between the saliency maps and human-annotated bounding boxes as the reward function, and apply Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) to align the salient parts and critical regions, encouraging models to focus on relevant areas when conduct reasoning. Experiments show Saliency-R1 improves reasoning faithfulness, interpretability, and overall task performance.

Accelerating Diffusion-based Video Editing via Heterogeneous Caching: Beyond Full Computing at Sampled Denoising Timestep

Tianyi Liu, Ye Lu, Linfeng Zhang, Chen Cai, Jianjun Gao, Yi Wang, Kim-Hui Yap, Lap-Pui Chau

展开摘要

Diffusion-based video editing has emerged as an important paradigm for high-quality and flexible content generation. However, despite their generality and strong modeling capacity, Diffusion Transformers (DiT) remain computationally expensive due to the iterative denoising process, posing challenges for practical deployment. Existing video diffusion acceleration methods primarily exploit denoising timestep-level feature reuse, which mitigates the redundancy in denoising process, but overlooks the architectural redundancy within the DiT that many attention operations over spatio-temporal tokens are redundantly executed, offering little to no incremental contribution to the model's output. This work introduces HetCache, a training-free diffusion acceleration framework designed to exploit the inherent heterogeneity in diffusion-based masked video-to-video (MV2V) generation and editing. Instead of uniformly reuse or randomly sampling tokens, HetCache assesses the contextual relevance and interaction strength among various types of tokens in designated computing steps. Guided by spatial priors, it divides the spatial-temporal tokens in DiT model into context and generative tokens, and selectively caches the context tokens that exhibit the strongest correlation and most representative semantics with generative ones. This strategy reduces redundant attention operations while maintaining editing consistency and fidelity. Experiments show that HetCache achieves a noticeable acceleration, including a 2.67 xlatency speedup and FLOPs reduction over commonly used foundation models, with negligible degradation in editing quality.

KAMP: Knowledge-Anchored Multimodal Pretraining Framework for Medical Image Representation

Feiyu Huang, Jia Li, Zhao Chen, Yang Wu, Caleb Chen Cao, Lei Chen

展开摘要

Cross-modal biomedical signals such as pathology and genomics can provide richer and more robust semantic guidance for medical image representation learning. However, the availability of such guidance remains limited, as privacy constraints and acquisition costs severely restrict access to medical images paired with other biomedical data. A further challenge lies in modality discrepancy, which introduces intra-modal statistical bias and cross-modal noise, thereby degrading the quality of medical image representations. To address these challenges, we propose KAMP, a large language model (LLM)-driven multimodal pretraining framework for medical image representation learning. KAMP leverages textual priors as the semantic anchor to enhance medical image representations and align them with multimodal biomedical representations, enabling the learning of rich and robust features even when paired data are scarce. KAMP operates in three stages. First, the LLM generates personalized diagnostic knowledge from patient clinical text and imaging metadata. This knowledge is injected as a prior to enrich medical image representations and serves as a semantic anchor to reduce the representation gap between medical images and other biomedical modalities. Second, the LLM is optimized using Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), with the cross-modal aligner pretrained in the first stage serving as the reward model. Third, the refined knowledge is used to retrain the cross-modal aligner, yielding more robust medical image representations while mitigating bias and noise introduced by other modalities. Comprehensive evaluations on brain, bladder, and liver cancer datasets demonstrate that KAMP outperforms existing methods in most downstream few-shot classification tasks.

VideoITG: Multimodal Video Understanding with Instructed Temporal Grounding

Shihao Wang, Guo Chen, De-An Huang, Zhiqi Li, Minghan Li, Guilin Liu, Jan Kautz, Jose M. Alvarez, Lei Zhang, Zhiding Yu

展开摘要

While Video Large Language Models (Video-LLMs) have shown significant potential in multimodal understanding and reasoning tasks, how to efficiently select the most informative frames from videos remains a critical challenge. Existing methods attempt to optimize frame sampling by reducing inter-frame redundancy or employing unsupervised event localization. However, these approaches often fall short in handling complex instruction-following tasks and scenarios that demand precise temporal modeling, resulting in limited performance in both semantic alignment and temporal reasoning. To address the above challenges, we introduce Instructed Temporal Grounding for Videos (VideoITG), a framework aiming to adaptively customize frame sampling strategies based on user instructions. Specifically, we design the VidThinker pipeline, which automates annotation by generating instruction-conditioned captions, retrieving relevant video segments, and selecting key frames to enable efficient supervision. Using VidThinker, we build the VideoITG-40K dataset with 40K videos and 500K temporal grounding annotations. Our plug-and-play VideoITG model leverages Video-LLMs' visual-language alignment and reasoning for discriminative frame selection. VideoITG consistently boosts the performance on multiple multimodal video understanding benchmarks, demonstrating its effectiveness and potential.
