Learning When to Trust via Selective Context Preference Optimization
Xian Sun, Wei Chow, Yingshuo Wang +4
Language models increasingly condition their answers on external signals, and a single misleading one can turn a correct answer wrong. The obvious remedy, training models to resist…
Data Pyramid for Embodied Manipulation: A Survey
Yifan Ye, Yankai Fu, Yaoxu Lv +26
Multimodal foundation models learned to see and to speak by consuming the whole internet. Embodied agents admit no such shortcut, since they require data that couple observations w…
AI for Auto-Research: Roadmap & User Guide
Lingdong Kong, Xian Sun, Wei Chow +17
AI-assisted research is crossing a threshold: fully automated systems can now generate research papers for as little as $15, while long-horizon agents can execute experiments, draf…
Masked Generative Transformer Is What You Need for Image Editing
Wei Chow, Linfeng Li, Xian Sun +14
Diffusion models dominate image editing, yet their global denoising mechanism entangles edited regions with surrounding context, causing modifications to propagate into areas that…
EditMGT: Unleashing Potentials of Masked Generative Transformers in Image Editing
Wei Chow, Linfeng Li, Lingdong Kong +13
Recent advances in diffusion models (DMs) have achieved exceptional visual quality in image editing tasks. However, the global denoising dynamics of DMs inherently conflate local e…
MERIT: Multilingual Semantic Retrieval with Interleaved Multi-Condition Query
Wei Chow, Yuan Gao, Linfeng Li +15
Semantic retrieval is crucial for modern applications yet remains underexplored in current research. Existing datasets are limited to single languages, single images, or singular r…
