APIVOT: Adaptive Planning with Interleaved Vision-Language Thoughts

Emily Jin, Joy Hsu, Yiqing Xu +3

Long-horizon robot planning requires jointly reasoning over semantic task structure and geometric feasibility. To successfully execute a task, a robot must decompose goals, select…

Neuro-Symbolic Decoding of Neural Activity

Yanchen Wang, Joy Hsu, Ehsan Adeli +1

We propose NEURONA, a neuro-symbolic framework for fMRI decoding and concept grounding in neural activity. Leveraging image- and video-based fMRI question-answering datasets, NEURO…

SAW-Bench: Learning Situated Awareness in the Real World

Chuhan Li, Rilyn Han, Joy Hsu +5

A core aspect of human perception is situated awareness, the ability to relate ourselves to the surrounding physical environment and reason over possible actions in context. Howeve…

A Tool Bottleneck Framework for Clinically-Informed and Interpretable Medical Image Understanding

Christina Liu, Alan Q. Wang, Joy Hsu +2

Recent tool-use frameworks powered by vision-language models (VLMs) improve image understanding by grounding model predictions with specialized tools. Broadly, these frameworks lev…

A Matter of Interest: Understanding Interestingness of Math Problems in Humans and Language Models

Shubhra Mishra, Yuka Machino, Gabriel Poesia +9

The evolution of mathematics is shaped importantly by interestingness: researchers choose which problems to pursue, and students choose which problems to engage with, based on expe…

From Programs to Poses: Factored Real-World Scene Generation via Learned Program Libraries

Joy Hsu, Emily Jin, Jiajun Wu +1

Real-world scenes, such as those in ScanNet, are difficult to capture, with highly limited data available. Generating realistic scenes with varied object poses remains an open and…

Explain Before You Answer: A Survey on Compositional Visual Reasoning

Fucai Ke, Joy Hsu, Zhixi Cai +10

Compositional visual reasoning has emerged as a key research frontier in multimodal AI, aiming to endow machines with the human-like ability to decompose visual scenes, ground inte…

Predicate Hierarchies Improve Few-Shot State Classification

Emily Jin, Joy Hsu, Jiajun Wu

State classification of objects and their relations is core to many long-horizon tasks, particularly in robot planning and manipulation. However, the combinatorial explosion of pos…

What Makes a Maze Look Like a Maze?

Joy Hsu, Jiayuan Mao, Joshua B. Tenenbaum +2

A unique aspect of human visual understanding is the ability to flexibly interpret abstract concepts: acquiring lifted rules explaining what they symbolize, grounding them across f…

Composable Part-Based Manipulation

Weiyu Liu, Jiayuan Mao, Joy Hsu +3

In this paper, we propose composable part-based manipulation (CPM), a novel approach that leverages object-part decomposition and part-part correspondences to improve learning and…

Learning Planning Abstractions from Language

Weiyu Liu, Geng Chen, Joy Hsu +2

This paper presents a framework for learning state and action abstractions in sequential decision-making domains. Our framework, planning abstraction from language (PARL), utilizes…

Naturally Supervised 3D Visual Grounding with Language-Regularized Concept Learners

Chun Feng, Joy Hsu, Weiyu Liu +1

3D visual grounding is a challenging task that often requires direct and dense supervision, notably the semantic label for each object in the scene. In this paper, we instead study…

Visually Descriptive Language Model for Vector Graphics Reasoning

Zhenhailong Wang, Joy Hsu, Xingyao Wang +4

Despite significant advancements, large multimodal models (LMMs) still struggle to bridge the gap between low-level visual perception -- focusing on shapes, sizes, and layouts -- a…
