VideoResearcher: Self-Improving Tool Design for Long-Video Understanding
Dingqiang Ye, Dongdi Zhao, Kaishen Wang +11
Video agents have made substantial progress in long-video understanding. Yet effective video-agent systems require costly, time-consuming manual design and trial and error. Current…
Thermal-Det: Language-Guided Cross-Modal Distillation for Open-Vocabulary Thermal Object Detection
Yasiru Ranasinghe, Elim Schenck, Florence Yellin +3
Existing open-vocabulary detectors focus on RGB images and fail to generalize to thermal imagery, where low texture and emissivity variations challenge RGB-based semantics. We pres…
On-Policy Distillation with Best-of-N Teacher Rollout Selection
Ke Zhang, Yunjie Tian, Dongdi Zhao +4
On-policy distillation (OPD), which supervises a student on its own sampled trajectories, has emerged as a data-efficient post-training method for improving reasoning while avoidin…
On the structure of categorical duality operators
Corey Jones, Xinping Yang
We systematically study categorical duality operators on spin (and anyon) chains with respect to an internal fusion category symmetry C. We parameterize duality operators on the qu…
