Next-Embedding Prediction Makes Strong Vision Learners
Sihan Xu, Ziqiao Ma, Wenhao Chai +5
Inspired by the success of generative pretraining in natural language, we ask whether the same principles can yield strong self-supervised visual learners. Instead of training mode…
ROVER: Benchmarking Reciprocal Cross-Modal Reasoning for Omnimodal Generation
Yongyuan Liang, Wei Chow, Feng Li +7
Unified multimodal models (UMMs) have emerged as a powerful paradigm for seamlessly unifying text and image understanding and generation. However, prevailing evaluations treat thes…
Communication and Verification in LLM Agents towards Collaboration under Information Asymmetry
Run Peng, Ziqiao Ma, Amy Pang +5
While Large Language Model (LLM) agents are often approached from the angle of action planning/generation to accomplish a goal (e.g., given by language descriptions), their abiliti…
From Behavioral Performance to Internal Competence: Interpreting Vision-Language Models with VLM-Lens
Hala Sheta, Eric Huang, Shuyu Wu +9
We introduce VLM-Lens, a toolkit designed to enable systematic benchmarking, analysis, and interpretation of vision-language models (VLMs) by supporting the extraction of intermedi…
The Mechanistic Emergence of Symbol Grounding in Language Models
Shuyu Wu, Ziqiao Ma, Xiaoxi Luo +4
Symbol grounding (Harnad, 1990) describes how symbols such as words acquire their meanings by connecting to real-world sensorimotor experiences. Recent work has shown preliminary e…
AimBot: A Simple Auxiliary Visual Cue to Enhance Spatial Awareness of Visuomotor Policies
Yinpei Dai, Jayjun Lee, Yichi Zhang +6
In this paper, we propose AimBot, a lightweight visual augmentation technique that provides explicit spatial cues to improve visuomotor policy learning in robotic manipulation. Aim…
Do Vision-Language Models Have Internal World Models? Towards an Atomic Evaluation
Qiyue Gao, Xinyu Pi, Kevin Liu +21
Internal world models (WMs) enable agents to understand the world's state and predict transitions, serving as the basis for advanced deliberative reasoning. Recent large Vision-Lan…
4D-LRM: Large Space-Time Reconstruction Model From and To Any View at Any Time
Ziqiao Ma, Xuweiyi Chen, Shoubin Yu +10
Can we scale 4D pretraining to learn general space-time representations that reconstruct an object from a few views at some times to any view at any time? We provide an affirmative…
Vision-Language Models Mistake Head Orientation for Gaze Direction: Nonverbal Conversation Cues
Zory Zhang, Pinyuan Feng, Bingyang Wang +7
Where someone looks is a nonverbal communication cue that children and adults readily use. How well can Vision-Language Models (VLMs) infer gaze targets? To construct evaluation st…
Vision-Language Models Are Not Pragmatically Competent in Referring Expression Generation
Ziqiao Ma, Jing Ding, Xuejun Zhang +6
Referring Expression Generation (REG) is a core task for evaluating the pragmatic competence of vision-language systems, requiring not only accurate semantic grounding but also adh…
VEGGIE: Instructional Editing and Reasoning Video Concepts with Grounded Generation
Shoubin Yu, Difan Liu, Ziqiao Ma +5
Recent video diffusion models have enhanced video editing, but it remains challenging to handle instructional editing and diverse tasks (e.g., adding, removing, changing) within a…
Training Turn-by-Turn Verifiers for Dialogue Tutoring Agents: The Curious Case of LLMs as Your Coding Tutors
Jian Wang, Yinpei Dai, Yichi Zhang +3
Intelligent tutoring agents powered by large language models (LLMs) have been increasingly explored to deliver personalized knowledge in areas such as language learning and science…
Humanity's Last Exam
Long Phan, Alice Gatti, Ziwen Han +1168
Benchmarks are important tools for tracking the rapid advancements in large language model (LLM) capabilities. However, benchmarks are not keeping pace in difficulty: LLMs now achi…
