Vision-language models, speech and cross-modal systems that read, look and listen in the same forward pass.
Vision-language-action (VLA) models commonly adopt an LLM-centric $V \to L \to A$ pathway, where visual observations are projected into the representation space of a large language model before being decoded into robot actions. Although effective, this design incurs substantial computation and memory overhead at every policy invocation.
As Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed in decision-critical pipelines such as robotics, embodied AI, and safety monitoring, the opacity of their spatial judgments limits operator trust and auditability. MLLMs demonstrate strong reasoning but often struggle with fine-grained spatial understanding and object hallucination.
Scientific images are the core elements of presenting experimental conclusions, elaborating system architecture, and supporting comparative arguments in scientific papers. However, existing image quality assessment (IQA) methods are predominantly designed for natural photographs or AI-generated content, which cannot be directly applied to scientific papers.
Energy-Based Models (EBMs) provide an interpretable framework for generative modeling of scientific data, but poor Markov Chain Monte Carlo mixing often limits their reliability. We introduce a training algorithm based on Parallel Trajectory Tempering (PTT), which exploits the continuity of the optimization path to maintain equilibrium sampling throughout learning.
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as an effective representation for novel view synthesis and 3D scene reconstruction, creating an increasing demand for reliable quality assessment. Unlike conventional image quality assessment (IQA), the quality of a 3DGS scene depends not only on the perceptual fidelity of rendered views, but also on scene-level factors such as spatial structure and cross-view consistency.
World models offer a promising route toward robot planning by enabling agents to imagine and verify the consequences of actions before execution. However, current video-based world models often struggle to capture the physical constraints that govern manipulation, particularly contact.
Integrating 3D medical images with vision-language models (VLMs) holds substantial promise for computer-aided diagnosis. However, volumetric images generate prohibitively long visual-token sequences with considerable spatial and inter-slice redundancy.
Multimodal Large Language Models have sparked significant interest due to their potential for social intelligence; however, their ability to perform sequential motivation reasoning remains insufficiently studied. Existing evaluations predominantly examine static text or isolated visual snapshots, which do not reflect the cumulative nature of real-world behavioral drivers.
World models must learn the joint dynamics of states, actions, events, and observations, yet existing video, robotics, and simulation datasets usually capture only part of this structure. We introduce CG-World, a large-scale world-state dataset and protocol derived from industrial computer graphics production pipelines.
