All Roads Lead to Rome: Incentivizing Divergent Thinking in Vision-Language Models

Xinyu Tian, Shu Zou, Zhaoyuan Yang +3

Recent studies have demonstrated that Reinforcement Learning (RL), notably Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), can intrinsically elicit and enhance the reasoning capabilitie…

More Thought, Less Accuracy? On the Dual Nature of Reasoning in Vision-Language Models

Xinyu Tian, Shu Zou, Zhaoyuan Yang +5

Reasoning has emerged as a pivotal capability in Large Language Models (LLMs). Through Reinforcement Learning (RL), typically Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), these model…

Probability Density Geodesics in Image Diffusion Latent Space

Qingtao Yu, Jaskirat Singh, Zhaoyuan Yang +5

Diffusion models indirectly estimate the probability density over a data space, which can be used to study its structure. In this work, we show that geodesics can be computed in di…

IMPUS: Image Morphing with Perceptually-Uniform Sampling Using Diffusion Models

Zhaoyuan Yang, Zhengyang Yu, Zhiwei Xu +5

We present a diffusion-based image morphing approach with perceptually-uniform sampling (IMPUS) that produces smooth, direct and realistic interpolations given an image pair. The e…

Grounded Language Acquisition From Object and Action Imagery

James Robert Kubricht, Zhaoyuan Yang, Jianwei Qiu +1

Deep learning approaches to natural language processing have made great strides in recent years. While these models produce symbols that convey vast amounts of diverse knowledge, i…

Probabilistic and Semantic Descriptions of Image Manifolds and Their Applications

Peter Tu, Zhaoyuan Yang, Richard Hartley +6

This paper begins with a description of methods for estimating image probability density functions that reflects the observation that such data is usually constrained to lie in res…

Understanding the Unforeseen via the Intentional Stance

Stephanie Stacy, Alfredo Gabaldon, John Karigiannis +2

We present an architecture and system for understanding novel behaviors of an observed agent. The two main features of our approach are the adoption of Dennett's intentional stance…

Adversarial Purification with the Manifold Hypothesis

Zhaoyuan Yang, Zhiwei Xu, Jing Zhang +2

In this work, we formulate a novel framework for adversarial robustness using the manifold hypothesis. This framework provides sufficient conditions for defending against adversari…
