Remote sensing change detection for real-world monitoring often relies on imperfect heterogeneous observations, where pre- and post-event images may be asynchronous, cross-sensor, or affected by illumination, seasonal, and modality shifts. This setting is especially challenging for EO-SAR disaster mapping, where nuisance variation can resemble structural damage.
Enabling Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to perform spatial reasoning remains challenging. Existing approaches treat VLMs as passive observers, which is difficult for real-world applications.
The joint optimization of image-based (I2I) and text-based (T2I) person re-identification (ReID) is hindered by modality discrepancies and conflicting training objectives, leading to suboptimal shared representations. While I2I ReID focuses on identity-level invariance across images of the same person, T2I ReID is driven by instance-specific textual descriptions tied to unique visual traits.
Building capable visual web agents requires long-horizon reasoning, precise grounding, and robust interaction with dynamic real-world websites. Despite rapid progress, the strongest systems remain largely proprietary, while open agents still depend heavily on supervised post-training over large collections of curated web trajectories.
Recent breakthroughs in instruction-based image editing have captured significant attention, as models are now capable of handling real-world editing demands with the practicality required by everyday users. However, editing models trained primarily for single-turn edits often break down in multi-turn editing--the natural interactive setting where a user iteratively refines an image based on the model's own previous outputs.
WALL-WM is a World Action Model that shifts video-action learning from chunk-centric optimization to event-grounded Vision-Language-Action pretraining, using semantically coherent action events as the atomic unit of learning. Existing WAMs commonly initialize from multimodal or video foundation models and then optimize fixed-length action chunks conditioned directly on the current observation and instruction.
Diffusion-based Vision-Language-Action policies achieve remarkable success in robotic manipulation, yet commit a fundamental geometric error we term the $\textbf{Euclidean Fallacy}$: representing SE(3) poses as flat $\mathbb{R}^{12}$ vectors. This approximation induces (1) manifold drift violating SO(3) constraints, (2) broken equivariance under coordinate transformations, and (3) non-geodesic trajectories with excessive kinematic cost.
