Towards Physics of Multimodal Pretraining: Knowledge Flow, Modality Synergy, Early Unification, and Recipes
Junlin Han, Shengbang Tong, David Fan +4
Vision offers a critical axis for advancing foundation models, driving a shift towards natively unified multimodal pretraining. Despite this momentum, the design space and the fund…
Small Vision-Language Models are Smart Compressors for Long Video Understanding
Junjie Fei, Jun Chen, Zechun Liu +13
Adapting Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) for hour-long videos is bottlenecked by context limits. Dense visual streams saturate token budgets and exacerbate the lost-in-the…
Beyond Language Modeling: An Exploration of Multimodal Pretraining
Shengbang Tong, David Fan, John Nguyen +18
The visual world offers a critical axis for advancing foundation models beyond language. Despite growing interest in this direction, the design space for native multimodal models r…
From Pixels to Feelings: Aligning MLLMs with Human Cognitive Perception of Images
Yiming Chen, Junlin Han, Tianyi Bai +3
While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are adept at answering what is in an image-identifying objects and describing scenes-they often lack the ability to understand how an…
Scaling Sequence-to-Sequence Generative Neural Rendering
Shikun Liu, Kam Woh Ng, Wonbong Jang +9
We present Kaleido, a family of generative models designed for photorealistic, unified object- and scene-level neural rendering. Kaleido operates on the principle that 3D can be re…
Learning to See Before Seeing: Demystifying LLM Visual Priors from Language Pre-training
Junlin Han, Shengbang Tong, David Fan +4
Large Language Models (LLMs), despite being trained on text alone, surprisingly develop rich visual priors. These priors allow latent visual capabilities to be unlocked for vision…
Hallucination at a Glance: Controlled Visual Edits and Fine-Grained Multimodal Learning
Tianyi Bai, Yuxuan Fan, Jiantao Qiu +7
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved strong performance on vision-language tasks but still struggle with fine-grained visual differences, leading to hallucination…
AuralSAM2: Enabling SAM2 Hear Through Pyramid Audio-Visual Feature Prompting
Yuyuan Liu, Yuanhong Chen, Chong Wang +6
Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) exhibits strong generalisation for promptable segmentation in video clips; however, its integration with the audio modality remains underexplored. E…
Learning-based Multi-View Stereo: A Survey
Fangjinhua Wang, Qingtian Zhu, Di Chang +5
3D reconstruction aims to recover the dense 3D structure of a scene. It plays an essential role in various applications such as Augmented/Virtual Reality (AR/VR), autonomous drivin…
