Evidence-Backed Video Question Answering
Shijie Wang, Honglu Zhou, Ziyang Wang +5
Current Video Large Language Models (Video LLMs) excel in question answering (QA) but largely operate as black boxes, providing textual answers without verifiable visual grounding.…
Future Optical Flow Prediction Improves Robot Control & Video Generation
Kanchana Ranasinghe, Honglu Zhou, Yu Fang +7
Future motion representations, such as optical flow, offer immense value for control and generative tasks. However, forecasting generalizable spatially dense motion representations…
Robotic VLA Benefits from Joint Learning with Motion Image Diffusion
Yu Fang, Kanchana Ranasinghe, Le Xue +10
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have achieved remarkable progress in robotic manipulation by mapping multimodal observations and instructions directly to actions. However, they…
Active Video Perception: Iterative Evidence Seeking for Agentic Long Video Understanding
Ziyang Wang, Honglu Zhou, Shijie Wang +6
Long video understanding (LVU) is challenging because answering real-world queries often depends on sparse, temporally dispersed cues buried in hours of mostly redundant and irrele…
SMILE: A Composite Lexical-Semantic Metric for Question-Answering Evaluation
Shrikant Kendre, Austin Xu, Honglu Zhou +3
Traditional evaluation metrics for textual and visual question answering, like ROUGE, METEOR, and Exact Match (EM), focus heavily on n-gram based lexical similarity, often missing…
BLIP3o-NEXT: Next Frontier of Native Image Generation
Jiuhai Chen, Le Xue, Zhiyang Xu +12
We present BLIP3o-NEXT, a fully open-source foundation model in the BLIP3 series that advances the next frontier of native image generation. BLIP3o-NEXT unifies text-to-image gener…
Strefer: Empowering Video LLMs with Space-Time Referring and Reasoning via Synthetic Instruction Data
Honglu Zhou, Xiangyu Peng, Shrikant Kendre +4
Next-generation AI companions must go beyond general video understanding to resolve spatial and temporal references in dynamic, real-world environments. Existing Video Large Langua…
Contra4: Evaluating Contrastive Cross-Modal Reasoning in Audio, Video, Image, and 3D
Artemis Panagopoulou, Le Xue, Honglu Zhou +6
Real-world decision-making often begins with identifying which modality contains the most relevant information for a given query. While recent multimodal models have made impressiv…
Unifying Specialized Visual Encoders for Video Language Models
Jihoon Chung, Tyler Zhu, Max Gonzalez Saez-Diez +3
The recent advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) has ushered sophisticated reasoning capabilities into the realm of video through Video Large Language Models (VideoLLMs). However,…
ViUniT: Visual Unit Tests for More Robust Visual Programming
Artemis Panagopoulou, Honglu Zhou, Silvio Savarese +4
Programming based approaches to reasoning tasks have substantially expanded the types of questions models can answer about visual scenes. Yet on benchmark visual reasoning data, wh…
xGen-MM-Vid (BLIP-3-Video): You Only Need 32 Tokens to Represent a Video Even in VLMs
Michael S. Ryoo, Honglu Zhou, Shrikant Kendre +9
We present xGen-MM-Vid (BLIP-3-Video): a multimodal language model for videos, particularly designed to efficiently capture temporal information over multiple frames. BLIP-3-Video…
xGen-VideoSyn-1: High-fidelity Text-to-Video Synthesis with Compressed Representations
Can Qin, Congying Xia, Krithika Ramakrishnan +16
We present xGen-VideoSyn-1, a text-to-video (T2V) generation model capable of producing realistic scenes from textual descriptions. Building on recent advancements, such as OpenAI'…
xGen-MM (BLIP-3): A Family of Open Large Multimodal Models
Le Xue, Manli Shu, Anas Awadalla +30
This paper introduces BLIP-3, an open framework for developing Large Multimodal Models (LMMs). The framework comprises meticulously curated datasets, a training recipe, model archi…
