arXiv:2607. 03591v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent studies on multimodal traffic accident understanding have mainly relied on infrastructure-camera footage, satellite imagery, or structured crash records.
arXiv:2606. 12047v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we address the problem of zero-shot understanding of accidents from surveillance videos by identifying when an impact event occurs, what type of impact it is, and where in the frame it occurs using natural language.
Multi-query vehicle ReID aims to leverage complementary information from diverse views for robust feature learning. However, current methods suffer from simplistic feature fusion and thus easily ignores some important view information and cross-view relationships.
AccidentSim is a framework that generates physically realistic vehicle collision videos by extracting physical clues from real-world accident reports. It uses a reliable physical simulator to replicate post-collision trajectories, builds a trajectory dataset, fine‑tunes a language model to predict consistent trajectories from user prompts, and finally renders high‑quality videos with Neural Radiance Fields. The resulting videos show strong visual and physical authenticity compared to existing methods.
arXiv:2608. 19380v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While modern autonomous driving systems excel at perception tasks such as object detection and trajectory prediction, they lack the high-level causal reasoning required to interpret traffic accidents.

arXiv:2606. 24759v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for autonomous driving scene understanding, yet existing methods still face a fundamental trade-off between temporal reasoning and spatial precision.
arXiv:2606. 11190v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cross-modal alignment (CA) and cross-modal prediction (CP) are the dominant paradigms for multimodal representation learning, yet there is no systematic understanding of when each succeeds, when each fails, and when cross-modal training helps at all -- a gap that leaves practitioners, especially in scientific domains like biomedicine or astrophysics, with heterogeneous instruments and multiple levels of organization and measurement, unable to diagnose why standard methods underperform the best single modality.
arXiv:2608. 04776v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The ability to accurately assess and anticipate risks in safety-critical scenarios is crucial for autonomous driving systems.
Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for autonomous driving scene understanding, yet existing methods still face a fundamental trade-off between temporal reasoning and spatial precision. Models that rely on single-frame or low-resolution inputs often miss small, distant, or partially occluded hazards, while language-centric driving models frequently provide limited grounded evidence for their explanations.
Cross-modal alignment (CA) and cross-modal prediction (CP) are the dominant paradigms for multimodal representation learning, yet there is no systematic understanding of when each succeeds, when each fails, and when cross-modal training helps at all -- a gap that leaves practitioners, especially in scientific domains like biomedicine or astrophysics, with heterogeneous instruments and multiple levels of organization and measurement, unable to diagnose why standard methods underperform the best single modality. We develop a unified linear framework that addresses both questions.
arXiv:2606. 25002v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traffic accident reconstruction is a forensic inverse problem that requires recovering physically consistent motion from sparse and heterogeneous evidence.
