Staying VIGILant: Mitigating Visual Laziness via Counterfactual Visual Alignment in MLLMs

Xi Xiao, Chen Liu, Chih-Ting Liao +9

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) extend large language models (LLMs) with visual perception, enabling joint reasoning over images and text. Despite inheriting strong reason…

Self-Augmenting Retrieval for Diffusion Language Models

Paul Jünger, Justin Lovelace, Linxi Zhao +2

Discrete diffusion language models generate text by iteratively denoising an entire response in parallel. At each step, they predict tentative tokens for every masked position, com…

Flash-WAM: Modality-Aware Distillation for World Action Models

Arman Akbari, Ci Zhang, Arash Akbari +6

World-action models (WAMs) jointly generate future video and robot actions through iterative diffusion, achieving strong performance on manipulation benchmarks but requiring tens o…

OmniMem: Scalable and Adaptive Memory Retrieval for Long Video Generation

Lin Zhao, Yushu Wu, Yifan Gong +2

Autoregressive (AR) video generation extends videos by producing latent chunks sequentially, but scaling to long videos requires repeated access to a growing historical KV cache. E…

Not All Directions Matter: Towards Structured and Task-Aware Low-Rank Model Adaptation

Xi Xiao, Chenrui Ma, Yunbei Zhang +7

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has become a cornerstone of parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT). Yet, its efficacy is hampered by two fundamental limitations: semantic drift, by trea…

Mitigating Object Hallucination in Large Vision-Language Models via Image-Grounded Guidance

Linxi Zhao, Yihe Deng, Weitong Zhang +1

The advancement of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) has increasingly highlighted the critical issue of their tendency to hallucinate non-existing objects in the images. To addr…
