A vision foundation model for single-cell biology via spatial gene cartography

Ridvan Yesiloglu, Sakib Mostafa, James Zou +5

Most single-cell foundation models are adapted from language models, representing each cell as a sequence of gene tokens. This discards the relationships among genes and often the…

Latent Forcing: Reordering the Diffusion Trajectory for Pixel-Space Image Generation

Alan Baade, Eric Ryan Chan, Kyle Sargent +4

Latent diffusion models excel at generating high-quality images but lose the benefits of end-to-end modeling. They discard information during image encoding, require a separately t…

VideoWeave: A Data-Centric Approach for Efficient Video Understanding

Zane Durante, Silky Singh, Arpandeep Khatua +6

Training video-language models is often prohibitively expensive due to the high cost of processing long frame sequences and the limited availability of annotated long videos. We pr…

QuantiPhy: A Quantitative Benchmark Evaluating Physical Reasoning Abilities of Vision-Language Models

Li Puyin, Tiange Xiang, Ella Mao +5

Understanding the physical world is essential for generalist AI agents. However, it remains unclear whether state-of-the-art vision perception models (e.g., large VLMs) can reason…

Repurposing 2D Diffusion Models for 3D Shape Completion

Yao He, Youngjoong Kwon, Tiange Xiang +2

We present a framework that adapts 2D diffusion models for 3D shape completion from incomplete point clouds. While text-to-image diffusion models have achieved remarkable success w…

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…

ViBES: A Conversational Agent with Behaviorally-Intelligent 3D Virtual Body

Juze Zhang, Changan Chen, Xin Chen +5

Human communication is inherently multimodal and social: words, prosody, and body language jointly carry intent. Yet most prior systems model human behavior as a translation task c…

T*: Re-thinking Temporal Search for Long-Form Video Understanding

Jinhui Ye, Zihan Wang, Haosen Sun +9

Efficiently understanding long-form videos remains a significant challenge in computer vision. In this work, we revisit temporal search paradigms for long-form video understanding…

The Language of Motion: Unifying Verbal and Non-verbal Language of 3D Human Motion

Changan Chen, Juze Zhang, Shrinidhi K. Lakshmikanth +5

Human communication is inherently multimodal, involving a combination of verbal and non-verbal cues such as speech, facial expressions, and body gestures. Modeling these behaviors…

OccFusion: Rendering Occluded Humans with Generative Diffusion Priors

Adam Sun, Tiange Xiang, Scott Delp +2

Most existing human rendering methods require every part of the human to be fully visible throughout the input video. However, this assumption does not hold in real-life settings w…
