WorldBagel: Uncovering the Power of Unified Multimodal Models for Vision-Language-Action-World Modeling

arXiv:2607. 03461v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World models aim to capture environment dynamics in ways that support perception, reasoning, and action, and have recently become a central direction in Vision-Language-Action-World (VLAW) modeling.

ProPS: Prompted Profile Synthesis for Natural Language-Conditioned Speaker Embedding Distributions

arXiv:2607. 05276v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speaker embeddings, or x-vectors, are widely used to represent speaker identity and speaker-related attributes, but existing embedding extractors are typically descriptive rather than generative: they map an observed speech segment to an x-vector, which is then used for downstream applications.

OmniFocus: Query-Guided Modality-Balanced Token Compression for Omni-Modal Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 03050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Omni modal large language models (OmniLLMs) have attracted wide attention for their ability to jointly process audio and video, but they generate large token sequences under audio-visual inputs, leading to substantial inference cost.
