UnSAMv2: Self-Supervised Learning Enables Segment Anything at Any Granularity

Junwei Yu, Trevor Darrell, XuDong Wang

The Segment Anything Model (SAM) family has become a widely adopted vision foundation model, but its ability to control segmentation granularity remains limited. Users often need t…

Chain-of-Visual-Thought: Teaching VLMs to See and Think Better with Continuous Visual Tokens

Yiming Qin, Bomin Wei, Jiaxin Ge +4

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) excel at reasoning in linguistic space but struggle with perceptual understanding that requires dense visual perception, e.g., spatial reasoning and g…

Reconstruction Alignment Improves Unified Multimodal Models

Ji Xie, Trevor Darrell, Luke Zettlemoyer +1

Unified multimodal models (UMMs) unify visual understanding and generation within a single architecture. However, conventional training relies on image-text pairs (or sequences) wh…

Describe Anything: Detailed Localized Image and Video Captioning

Long Lian, Yifan Ding, Yunhao Ge +8

Generating detailed and accurate descriptions for specific regions in images and videos remains a fundamental challenge for vision-language models. We introduce the Describe Anythi…

Atlas: Multi-Scale Attention Improves Long Context Image Modeling

Kumar Krishna Agrawal, Long Lian, Longchao Liu +6

Efficiently modeling massive images is a long-standing challenge in machine learning. To this end, we introduce Multi-Scale Attention (MSA). MSA relies on two key ideas, (i) multi-…
