Agent-based editing models have substantially advanced interactive experiences, processing quality, and creative flexibility. However, two critical challenges persist: (1) instruction hallucination--text-only chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning cannot fully prevent factual errors due to inherent information bottlenecks; (2) reward hacking--dynamic policy optimization against static reward models allows agents to exploit flaws in reward functions. To address these issues, we propose JarvisEvo, a unified image editing agent that emulates an expert human designer by iteratively editing, selecting appropriate tools, evaluating results, and reflecting on its own decisions to refine outcomes. JarvisEvo offers three key advantages: (1) an interleaved multimodal chain-of-thought (iMCoT) reasoning mechanism that enhances instruction following and editing quality; (2) a synergistic editor-evaluator policy optimization (SEPO) framework that enables self-improvement without external rewards, effectively mitigating reward hacking; and (3) support for both preservative and generative editing through seamless integration of Adobe Lightroom and Qwen-Image-Edit tools. On ArtEdit-Bench, JarvisEvo outperforms Nano-Banana by an average of 18.95% on preservative editing metrics, including a substantial 44.96% improvement in pixel-level content fidelity, while maintaining competitive performance in generative editing tasks.

Robust cross-view geo-localization (CVGL) remains challenging despite the surge in recent progress. Existing methods still rely on field-of-view (FoV)-specific training paradigms, where models are optimized under a fixed FoV but collapse when tested on unseen FoVs and unknown orientations. This limitation necessitates deploying multiple models to cover diverse variations. Although studies have explored dynamic FoV training by simply randomizing FoVs, they failed to achieve robustness across diverse conditions---implicitly assuming all FoVs are equally difficult. To address this gap, we present SinGeo, a simple yet powerful framework that enables a single model to realize robust cross-view geo-localization without additional modules or explicit transformations. SinGeo employs a dual discriminative learning architecture that enhances intra-view discriminability within both ground and satellite branches, and is the first to introduce a curriculum learning strategy to achieve robust CVGL. Extensive evaluations on four benchmark datasets reveal that SinGeo sets state-of-the-art (SOTA) results under diverse conditions, and notably outperforms methods specifically trained for extreme FoVs. Beyond superior performance, SinGeo also exhibits cross-architecture transferability. Furthermore, we propose a consistency evaluation method to objectively assess model stability under varying views, providing an objective perspective for understanding and advancing robustness in future CVGL research.

Vocabulary-free fine-grained image recognition aims to distinguish visually similar categories within a meta-class without a fixed, human-defined label set. Existing solutions for this problem remain limited by either the usage of a large and rigid list of vocabularies or by the dependency on complex pipelines with fragile heuristics where errors propagate across stages. Meanwhile, the ability of recent large multi-modal models (LMMs) equipped with explicit or implicit reasoning to comprehend visual-language data, decompose problems, retrieve latent knowledge, and self-correct suggests a more principled and effective alternative. Building on these capabilities, we propose FiNDR (Fine-grained Name Discovery via Reasoning), the first reasoning-augmented LMM-based framework for vocabulary-free fine-grained recognition. The system oper- ates in three automated steps: (i) a reasoning-enabled LMM generates descriptive candidate labels for each image; (ii) a vision-language model filters and ranks these candidates to form a coherent class set; and (iii) the verified names instantiate a lightweight multi-modal classifier used at inference time. Extensive experiments on popular fine-grained classification benchmarks demonstrate state-of-the-art per- formance under the vocabulary-free setting, with a significant relative margin of up to 18.8% over previous ap- proaches. Remarkably, the proposed method surpasses zero-shot baselines that exploit pre-defined ground-truth names, challenging the assumption that human-curated vo- cabularies define an upper bound. Ablations further confirm that advanced prompting techniques and built-in rea- soning mechanisms significantly enhance naming quality. Additionally, we show that carefully engineered prompts enable open-source LMMs to match proprietary counter- parts. These findings establish reasoning-augmented LMMs as an effective foundation for scalable, fully automated, open-world fine-grained visual recognition. The source code and relevant prompting guidelines will be released.

LiDAR relocalization has attracted increasing attention as it can deliver accurate 6-DoF pose estimation in complex 3D environments. Recent learning-based regression methods offer efficient solutions by directly predicting global poses without the need for explicit map storage. However, these methods often struggle in challenging scenes due to their equal treatment of all predicted points, which is vulnerable to noise and outliers. In this paper, we propose LEADER, a robust LiDAR-based relocalization framework enhanced by a simple, yet effective geometric encoder. Specifically, a Robust Projection-based Geometric Encoder architecture which captures multi-scale geometric features is first presented to enhance descriptiveness in geometric representation. A Truncated Relative Reliability loss is then formulated to model point-wise ambiguity and mitigate the influence of unreliable predictions. Extensive experiments on the Oxford RobotCar and NCLT datasets demonstrate that LEADER outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving 24.1% and 73.9% relative reductions in position error over existing techniques, respectively. The source code is released on https://github.com/JiansW/LEADER.

LiDAR semantic segmentation must remain robust under various sensor and environmental corruptions to be reliable in safety-critical applications. Existing test-time adaptation methods, including approaches based on pseudo-labels and normalization statistics, have shown promising results but can still struggle under severe distribution shifts. To complement these approaches, we propose a geometry-aware test-time training framework that leverages an auxiliary self-supervised objective. Our method is based on geometric inlier discrimination (GeoID), which injects synthetic off-manifold points into the input and trains the model to distinguish geometry-consistent inliers from synthetically displaced outliers, enabling adaptation on unlabeled test data. To further stabilize this process under real corruptions, we introduce bidirectional unreliable point filtering (BiUPF), which uses inlier scores from the source-trained model to filter out unreliable regions on both original and synthetic points, focusing updates on high-confidence samples. Experiments on two large-scale corruption benchmarks, SemanticKITTI-C and nuScenes-C, show that our method consistently outperforms strong test-time adaptation baselines and improves robustness across diverse LiDAR corruptions. Our code is available at https://github.com/hskim617/GeoID.

Masked Discrete Diffusion Models (MDMs) have achieved strong performance across a wide range of multimodal tasks, including image understanding, generation, and editing. However, their inference speed remains suboptimal due to the need to repeatedly process redundant masked tokens at every sampling step. In this work, we propose Sparse-LaViDa, a novel modeling framework that dynamically truncates unnecessary masked tokens at each inference step to accelerate MDM sampling. To preserve generation quality, we introduce specialized register tokens that serve as sparse representations for the truncated tokens. Furthermore, to ensure consistency between training and inference, we design a specialized attention mask that faithfully matches the truncated sampling procedure during training. Built upon the state-of-the-art unified MDM LaViDa-O, Sparse-LaViDa achieves up to a 2xspeedup across diverse tasks including text-to-image generation, image editing, and mathematical reasoning, while maintaining generation quality.

Unifying multimodal understanding, generation and reconstruction representation in a single tokenizer remains a key challenge in building unified models. Previous research predominantly attempts to address this in a dual encoder paradigm, e.g., utilizing the separate encoders for understanding and generation respectively or balancing semantic representations and low-level features with contrastive loss. In this paper, we propose VQRAE, a Vector Quantization version of Representation AutoEncoders, which pioneers the first exploration in unified representation to produce Continuous semantic features for image understanding and Discrete tokens for visual generation within a unified tokenizer. Specifically, we build upon pretrained vision foundation models with a symmetric ViT decoder and adopt a two-stage training strategy: first, it freezes the encoder and learns a high-dimensional semantic VQ codebook with pixel reconstruction objective; then jointly optimizes the encoder with self-distillation constraints. This design enables negligible semantic information for maintaining the ability of multimodal understanding, discrete tokens that are compatible for generation and fine-grained reconstruction. Besides, we identify the intriguing property in quantizing semantic encoders that rely on high-dimensional codebook in contrast to the previous common practice of low-dimensional codebook in image reconstruction. The semantic VQ codebook can achieve a 100% utilization ratio at a dimension of 1536. VQRAE presents competitive performance on several benchmarks of visual understanding, generation and reconstruction with promising scaling property in the autoregressive paradigm for its discrete merits.

We introduce the problem of material-aware part grouping in untextured meshes.Many real-world shapes, such as scales of pinecones or windows of buildings, contain repeated structures that share the same material but exhibit geometric variations.When assigning materials to such meshes, these repeated parts often require piece-by-piece manual identification and selection, which is tedious and time-consuming.To address this, we propose Material Magic Wand, a tool that allows artists to select part groups based on their estimated material properties -- when one part is selected, our algorithm automatically retrieves all other parts likely to share the same material. The key component of our approach is a part encoder that generates a material-aware embedding for each 3D part, accounting for both local geometry and global context.We train our model with a supervised contrastive loss that brings embeddings of material-consistent parts closer while separating those of different materials;therefore, part grouping can be achieved by retrieving embeddings that are close to the embedding of the selected part.To benchmark this task, we introduce a curated dataset of 100 shapes with 241 part-level queries.We verify the effectiveness of our method through extensive experiments and demonstrate its practical value in an interactive material assignment application.

Generalizable Neural Radiance Fields (GeNeRF) enable high-quality scene reconstruction from a limited number of views and can generalize to unseen scenes. However, in real-world environments, transient distractors disrupt structural consistency across views, leading to deviated supervision signals and degraded reconstruction quality. Existing distractor-free NeRF methods rely on per-scene optimization and they estimate uncertainty from per-view reconstruction errors to remove distractors, but this is unreliable to GeNeRF, because it may misjudge inconsistent static structures from source views as distractors. To address this issue, we propose MUGeNeRF: a multi-view uncertainty-guided distractor-aware GeNeRF method, aim to effectively alleviate GeNeRF's robust modeling challenges in dynamic scenes with transient distractions. We explicitly decompose distractor awareness into two complementary uncertainty modeling tasks: Source-view uncertainty, serving as a transferable prior during the feed-forward process, captures structural inconsistencies across source views caused by viewpoint changes or dynamic factors; Target-view uncertainty focuses on observation anomalies caused by transient changes to infer distractor spatial distribution. These two uncertainties are integrated into a heteroscedastic reconstruction loss that guides adaptive supervision weighting, boosting the model's capability to detect and suppress distractors, and enabling more robust geometric modeling. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method not only outperforms existing GeNeRF approaches but also rivals the performance of scene-specific distractor-free NeRFs.

Domain Adaptive Object Detection (DAOD) aims to transfer detectors from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain.Existing DAOD methods employ multi-granularity feature alignment to learn domain-invariant representations.However, the local connectivity of their CNN-based backbone and detection head restricts alignment to local regions, failing to extract global domain-invariant features.Although transformer-based DAOD methods capture global dependencies via attention mechanisms, their quadratic computational cost hinders practical deployment. To solve this, we propose DA-Mamba, a hybrid CNN-State Space Models (SSMs) architecture that combines the efficiency of CNNs with the linear-time long-range modeling capability of State Space Models (SSMs) to capture both global and local domain-invariant features.Specifically, we introduce two novel modules: Image-Aware SSM (IA-SSM) and Object-Aware SSM (OA-SSM).IA-SSM is integrated into the backbone to enhance global domain awareness, enabling image-level global and local alignment.OA-SSM is inserted into the detection head to model spatial and semantic dependencies among objects, enhancing instance-level alignment.Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can efficiently improve the cross-domain performance of the object detector.

Visual place recognition (VPR) faces critical challenges in handling extreme environmental variations while meeting the computational constraints of practical applications. Current methods predominantly address these challenges by either scaling up model capacity or employing computationally intensive reranking stages, creating a significant efficiency bottleneck. To overcome this limitation, we propose EfficientVPR, a lightweight one-stage framework that achieves speed-accuracy trade-offs through two key innovations: i) a scene-aware visual prompt tuning method which adapts pretrained features with less parameters while dynamically adjusting to sample-specific characteristics, and ii) an instance-dependent key local feature enhancement module that further reinforces discriminative regions. Comprehensive evaluations on Pitts250k, MSLS, Eynsham, AmsterTime and SVOX demonstrate that our method establishes a new SOTA for DINOv2-small models by outperforming all same-scale competitors, and delivers a 73x speedup with 60% lower-dimensional features while maintaining competitive (within 2.5% average R@1 gap) against the SOTA DINOv2-large-based two-stage method. Our code will be available at https://github.com/WiniTang/EfficientVPR.

Conformal prediction (CP) is a powerful framework for uncertainty quantification, generating prediction sets with coverage guarantees. Split conformal prediction relies on labeled data in the calibration procedure. However, the labeled data is often limited in real-world scenarios, leading to unstable coverage performance in different runs. To address this issue, we extend CP to the semi-supervised setting and propose SemiCP, a new paradigm that leverages both labeled and unlabeled data for calibration. To achieve this, we introduce an unlabeled nonconformity score, Nearest Neighbor Matching (NNM) score. Specifically, NNM estimates the nonconformity scores of unlabeled samples using their most similar pseudo-labeled counterparts during calibration, while maintaining the original scores for labeled data. Theoretically, we demonstrate that the average coverage gap (i.e., the absolute difference between the empirical marginal coverage and the target coverage) of SemiCP can decrease significantly at a rate O(N-1t2) and converge to an error term, where N is the number of unlabeled data. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of SemiCP under limited labeled data, reducing the average coverage gap by up to 77% on common benchmarks with 4000 unlabeled examples, when there are only 20 labeled examples. Code is available at https://github.com/Shinning-Zhou/SemiCP.

Tensor Ring (TR) decomposition is a powerful tool for high-order data modeling, but is inherently restricted to discrete forms defined on fixed meshgrids. In this work, we propose a TR functional decomposition for both meshgrid and non-meshgrid data, where factors are parameterized by Implicit Neural Representations (INRs). However, optimizing this continuous framework to capture fine-scale details is intrinsically difficult. Through a frequency-domain analysis, we demonstrate that the spectral structure of TR factors determines the frequency composition of the reconstructed tensor and limits the high-frequency modeling capacity. To mitigate this, we propose a reparameterized TR functional decomposition, in which each TR factor is a structured combination of a learnable latent tensor and a fixed basis. This reparameterization is theoretically shown to improve the training dynamics of TR factor learning. We further derive a principled initialization scheme for the fixed basis and prove the Lipschitz continuity of our proposed model. Extensive experiments on image inpainting, denoising, super-resolution, and point cloud recovery demonstrate that our method achieves consistently superior performance over existing approaches. Code is available at https://github.com/YangyangXu2002/RepTRFD.

Photographic style preferences are deeply personal, varying across individuals in color and tonal aesthetics. We introduce Personalized Photographic Style (PPS) learning, where the goal is to capture a user's implicit preferences from comparative judgments and apply them consistently across diverse images. To establish a foundation for this problem, we present three contributions. First, we introduce PPSD, a dataset containing pairwise preference judgments from 767 users, each providing an average of 70 comparisons. To capture diverse style signals, images are sourced from professional edits, device pipelines, and generative models. Second, we explore several baseline models demonstrating the feasibility of adapting style transfer and enhancement approaches for preference learning. Third, we develop a comparative evaluation framework suited to the implicit nature of personal preferences. We will make our dataset publicly available, and hope this work serves as a foundation for advancing research in personalized photographic style learning.

Traditional speaker diarization systems have primarily focused on constrained scenarios such as meetings and interviews, where the number of speakers is limited and acoustic conditions are relatively clean. To explore open-world speaker diarization, we extend this task to the visual media domain, encompassing complex audiovisual programs such as films and TV series. This new setting introduces several challenges, including long-form video understanding, a large number of speakers, cross-modal asynchrony between audio and visual cues, and uncontrolled in-the-wild variability. To address these challenges, we propose Cinematic Speaker Registration & Diarization (CineSRD), a unified multimodal framework that leverages visual, acoustic, and linguistic cues from video, speech, and subtitles for speaker annotation. CineSRD first performs visual anchor clustering to register initial speakers and then integrates an audio language model for speaker turn detection, refining annotations and supplementing unregistered off-screen speakers. Furthermore, we construct and release a dedicated speaker diarization benchmark for visual media that includes Chinese and English programs. Experimental results demonstrate that CineSRD achieves superior performance on the proposed benchmark and competitive results on conventional datasets, validating its robustness and generalizability in open-world visual media settings.

Image-goal navigation driven by generative models has recently shown strong potential owing to their ability to perform multi-modal reasoning and stable learning in continuous control spaces. Despite their promise, current methods still face several fundamental limitations. Many rely on pre-built priors and lack explicit mechanisms for trajectory evaluation, restricting generalization and goal alignment in map-free navigation. Moreover, current generative policies often face inefficiency or temporal inconsistency, resulting in temporally unstable motion. The absence of interactive, closed-loop benchmarks further limits fair and reproducible comparison. To address these issues, we propose GeniNav, a generative image-goal navigation framework that couples a VLM-driven latent subgoal imagination module for high-level semantic guidance with Multi-Segment Consistency Flow Matching (MS-CFM) for temporally smooth and dynamically coherent motion generation. A hybrid trajectory evaluation module further integrates semantic alignment and geometric feasibility to assess goal consistency. We also introduce a closed-loop simulation benchmark with a large-scale dataset spanning 176 scenes and 491.6 km for standardized training and evaluation. Extensive experiments in simulation and on real robots demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Our project page is available at: https://cyq638.github.io/geninav/.

Millimeter-wave radar's all-weather capability makes it increasingly vital for autonomous perception. However, the high cost of radar data collection drives the need for data generation to augment radar datasets. Existing works mainly target partial radar representations, e.g., 2D or 3D slices, leading to information loss and limited downstream performance. To overcome these issues, we introduce the novel task of LiDAR-to-4DRadar translation, which generates complete 4D radar tensors, with three spatial and one Doppler axes, guided by LiDAR data that preserve spatial and semantic consistency. We propose a novel diffusion bridge model in an aligned LiDAR-4DRadar latent space, namely L2RLDB, to tackle this task. Specifically, first, a key-voxel-aware VAE compresses high-dimensional, noisy radar tensors into a compact latent space, while enabling precise numerical reconstruction and key-voxel identification. Second, to bridge the cross-modal gap between sparse 3D LiDAR and dense 4D radar, we develop a patch-wise contrastive learning module to align LiDAR latents with radar semantically and spatially. Finally, we formulate the translation as a diffusion bridge process between LiDAR and radar latents, enabling the synthesis of full radar tensors from Doppler-lacking LiDAR inputs. Experiments verify that L2RLDB achieves high-fidelity 4D radar generation and significantly improves downstream detection through data augmentation.

Accurately recovering hand poses within the body context remains a major challenge in 3D whole-body pose estimation. This difficulty arises from a fundamental supervision gap: whole-body pose estimators are trained on full-body datasets with limited hand diversity, while hand-only estimators, trained on hand-centric datasets, excel at detailed finger articulation but lack global body awareness. To address this, we propose Hand4Whole++, a modular framework that leverages the strengths of both pre-trained whole-body and hand pose estimators. We introduce CHAM (Conditional Hands Modulator), a lightweight module that modulates the whole-body feature stream using hand-specific features extracted from a pre-trained hand pose estimator. This modulation enables the whole-body model to predict wrist orientations that are both accurate and coherent with the upper-body kinematic structure, without retraining the full-body model. In parallel, we directly incorporate finger articulations and hand shapes predicted by the hand pose estimator, aligning them to the full-body mesh via differentiable rigid alignment. This design allows Hand4Whole++ to combine globally consistent body reasoning with fine-grained hand detail. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Hand4Whole++ substantially improves hand accuracy and enhances overall full-body pose quality.

We introduce an unsupervised approach for segmenting multiscale subcellular objects in 3D volumetric cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) images. To this end, we address key challenges such as lack of annotated data, large data volumes, high heterogeneity of subcellular shapes and sizes, and high inter-domain variability of cellular cryo-ET images across different experiments and contexts. Our method requires users to only select a small number of slabs from a few representative tomograms in the dataset. The core of our method is extracting features for the corresponding slabs, leveraging a Stable Diffusion foundation model pretrained on mostly natural images. The feature extraction is followed by a novel heuristic-based feature aggregation strategy, and adaptive thresholding to segment the aggregated features. The resulting masks are refined with pretrained CellPose to split composite regions, and then utilized as pseudo-ground truth for training supervised deep learning models. We validated our unsupervised foundation-model based pipeline on publicly available cryo-ET benchmark datasets, demonstrating performance that closely approximates expert human annotations. This fully automated, data-driven framework enables the mining of multi-scale subcellular patterns, paving the way for accelerated biological discoveries from large-scale cellular cryo-ET datasets.
