Tuna-2: Pixel Embeddings Beat Vision Encoders for Multimodal Understanding and Generation
Zhiheng Liu, Weiming Ren, Xiaoke Huang +12
Unified multimodal models typically rely on pretrained vision encoders and use separate visual representations for understanding and generation, creating misalignment between the t…
VecGlypher: Unified Vector Glyph Generation with Language Models
Xiaoke Huang, Bhavul Gauri, Kam Woh Ng +12
Vector glyphs are the atomic units of digital typography, yet most learning-based pipelines still depend on carefully curated exemplar sheets and raster-to-vector postprocessing, w…
Synthesizing High-Quality Visual Question Answering from Medical Documents with Generator-Verifier LMMs
Xiaoke Huang, Ningsen Wang, Hui Liu +2
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) are increasingly capable of answering medical questions that require joint reasoning over images and text, yet training general medical VQA systems i…
MedVLThinker: Simple Baselines for Multimodal Medical Reasoning
Xiaoke Huang, Juncheng Wu, Hui Liu +2
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have introduced a new paradigm in AI by enabling models to ``think before responding" via chain-of-thought reasoning. However, the absence of open and…
m1: Unleash the Potential of Test-Time Scaling for Medical Reasoning with Large Language Models
Xiaoke Huang, Juncheng Wu, Hui Liu +2
Test-time scaling has emerged as a powerful technique for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models. However, its effectiveness in medical reasoning remains unc…
Story-Iter: A Training-free Iterative Paradigm for Long Story Visualization
Jiawei Mao, Xiaoke Huang, Yunfei Xie +7
This paper introduces Story-Iter, a new training-free iterative paradigm to enhance long-story generation. Unlike existing methods that rely on fixed reference images to construct…
