Hyper-RED introduces a scalable image-to-event pretraining framework that transfers high‑order semantic structures via hypergraphs, avoiding rigid pixel‑wise alignment. By constructing image, event, and cross‑modal hypergraphs and applying a hypergraph relational distillation loss, the method preserves local relational consistency and event‑specific characteristics while inheriting image‑derived semantic organization. Experiments across five event datasets show consistent scaling from ViT‑S to ViT‑L and state‑of‑the‑art performance.

VIVAS is a new Vision‑Language Model pre‑training framework that addresses the lack of fine‑grained visual perception in existing VLMs. It introduces a unified token space and a dense‑structural‑semantic vision tokenizer that expands the textual vocabulary with visual tokens, enabling vision‑language unified autoregressive supervision over both visual details and linguistic content. Trained on 12.4 T tokens, VIVAS achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on 7 tasks and 39 multimodal benchmarks.

HMGCLIP is a unified multimodal embedding framework that uses a heterogeneous hypergraph to capture both fine‑grained and coarse‑grained product attributes. By mining structure‑aware hard negatives and aligning multi‑granular semantics at relation and hyperedge levels, it enables a dual‑granularity inference mechanism that dynamically fuses attribute evidence. Experiments on a new fine‑grained e‑commerce dataset and the public MAVE benchmark show that HMGCLIP outperforms strong multimodal encoders, MLLMs, and e‑commerce baselines.

UVU is a vision-language unified autoregressive framework that integrates visual supervision directly into the pre-training stage of multimodal large language models. By using continuous visual encoding and a large-scale iterative hierarchical clustering algorithm to build a pixel-level visual codebook, UVU enables lossless representation of visual inputs and autoregressive generation of pixel-level image tokens alongside textual tokens. This approach synergizes pixel-level visual perception with semantic-level visual understanding, allowing models to internalize visual reconstruction capabilities and improve multimodal understanding performance.
