Perception Before Supervision: Self-Contained Visual Distillation from Counterfactual Blind Spots

Shravan Venkatraman, Omkar Thawakar, Ritesh Thawkar +2

Self-improvement for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is typically driven by reward-based methods that provide only coarse scalar feedback. Distillation offers a richer alt…

Ask, Solve, Generate: Self-Evolving Unified Multimodal Understanding and Generation via Self-Consistency Rewards

Ritesh Thawkar, Shravan Venkatraman, Omkar Thawakar +5

Most unified large multimodal models (LMMs) that support both visual understanding and image generation still rely on curated post-training supervision, such as human annotations,…

Paying More Attention to Visual Tokens in Self-Evolving Large Multimodal Models

Shravan Venkatraman, Ritesh Thawkar, Omkar Thawakar +4

Recently, self-evolving large multimodal models (LMMs) have received attention for improving visual reasoning in a purely unsupervised setting. However, multi-role self-play and se…

PCM-NeRF: Probabilistic Camera Modeling for Neural Radiance Fields under Pose Uncertainty

Shravan Venkatraman, Rakesh Raj Madavan, Pavan Kumar Sathya Venkatesh

Neural surface reconstruction methods typically treat camera poses as fixed values, assuming perfect accuracy from Structure-from-Motion (SfM) systems. This assumption breaks down…
