arXiv:2607. 11919v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human memory is reconstructive, not a faithful recording.
arXiv:2606. 27499v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Research on agent memory has matured rapidly, but almost entirely on the text side: few existing benchmarks ask, in an interactive environment, when an agent genuinely needs to remember what it saw rather than what it could write down.
arXiv:2511. 20196v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can inadvertently memorize privacy-sensitive information during training.
External memory effectively grounds large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs)-based question answering (QA) in relevant multimodal evidence. However, existing memory paradigms represent each memory item in raw text and image forms, so retrieval-based systems must pass the retrieved text or images to the generation LLMs/VLMs, resulting in high token consumption and storage pressure, making it unaffordable for resource-constrained applications.
arXiv:2608. 08676v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semantic vision encoders have become a central visual interface for multimodal understanding and semantic conditioning in image generation.
arXiv:2509. 07295v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Unified multimodal models (UMMs) unify visual understanding and generation within a single architecture.
arXiv:2607. 25527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unifying visual understanding and generation in one model holds immense promise, but remains challenging and expensive due to heavy compute and data demands and conflicts between the visual features needed for these two capabilities.
arXiv:2606. 10572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: External memory effectively grounds large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs)-based question answering (QA) in relevant multimodal evidence.
arXiv:2608. 17564v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified multimodal models (UMMs) are motivated by the hope that understanding and generation reinforce each other but controlled ablations repeatedly find that adding a generation objective leaves understanding flat.
arXiv:2606. 29788v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When a multimodal AI agent is asked to forget a fact, current memory systems usually delete the text entry and report success.
arXiv:2606. 00909v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work presents MLLM-Microscope, a novel system designed for analyzing the hidden representations within Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs).
arXiv:2506. 01850v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable success in instruction-following tasks by integrating pretrained visual encoders with large language models (LLMs).
