Missing-by-Design: Certifiable Modality Deletion for Revocable Multimodal Sentiment Analysis

arXiv:2602. 16144v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As multimodal systems increasingly process sensitive personal data, the ability to selectively revoke specific data modalities has become a critical requirement for privacy compliance and user autonomy.

DINO-VPT: Hierarchical Visual Prompt Tuning for Joint Physical-Digital Face Anti-Spoofing

With the increasing diversity of spoofing attacks, there is a growing demand for unified Face Anti-Spoofing (FAS) models capable of detecting both physical and digital threats. While existing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) demonstrate high generalization in this context, they heavily rely on complex multimodal fusion and external text encoders.

Engine-Native Editable 3D World Reconstruction with Objects and Lighting

Editable 3D scene creation requires object instances and lights that can be inspected, moved, and imported into standard engines, yet existing single-image methods largely stop at room-scale geometry, baked/global illumination, or text-driven generation. We introduce Lumera (Light-aware Unified Engine-native Reconstruction and Assembly), a benchmark and reference pipeline for engine-native, light-aware 3D scene parsing from a single image.

ViSTR-Bench: Can MLLMs Reason from Continuous Visual Cues in Dynamic Scenes?

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable success across diverse expert-level tasks, but they still struggle with fundamental abilities that humans naturally develop through continuous observation of the real world, such as spatial perception and dynamic reasoning. Recent studies have recognized this gap and introduced dedicated benchmarks to evaluate the spatial-temporal capabilities of MLLMs.

Not All Patches are Equal: Sampling Matters for Visible-Infrared Pre-Training

Visible-infrared (VIS-IR) alignment is a key pre-training task for robust multi-sensor perception. Most existing methods use uniform patch-wise contrastive learning, but this can be unreliable in VIS-IR data because imaging-physics differences make some spatially paired regions inherently less comparable, and aligning them with equal strength hinders representation learning and downstream transfer.

Autonomous Collaborative Learning Among an Ensemble of Tsetlin Machines with Consensus-Based Inference

Tsetlin Machine (TM) is a rule-based machine-learning algorithm comprising collectives of two-action Tsetlin Automata (TAs) that cooperatively form conjunctive logical clauses from Boolean inputs through stochastic feedback. Although few recent studies have examined TM Federated Learning, the broader area of distributed and decentralized TM learning has not received much attention in the existing literature and warrants further exploration.

Antigen-specific Antibody Multi-modal Foundation Model for Functional Antibody Design

Antibodies are essential proteins that play a central role in immune recognition by binding specific antigen molecules. Although recent protein language models have enabled progress in single-chain protein modeling and generation, they often fall short in antigen-specific antibody design, where effective modeling requires explicit pairing between antibody and antigen, particularly at the epitope level.

Forecasting the Number of Harvest-ready Fruits of Sweet Peppers Using Multimodal Time-Series Data

Accurate yield forecasting at the individual-plant level is critical for precision agriculture and supply-chain planning, yet public datasets capturing both visual growth dynamics and per-plant measurement labels are scarce. In this paper, we introduce a novel, annotated image time-series dataset of 691 sweet pepper plants monitored over two growing seasons, comprising 4837 images with per-plant fruit counts categorized by maturity.

Current Injection Spiking Neural Network for Infrared and Visible Image Fusion

Infrared and visible image fusion (IVIF) integrates the complementary information of two modalities into a single image with richer scene content. While existing methods are largely built on artificial neural networks (ANNs), which densely compute over all activations, spiking neural networks (SNNs) communicate through sparse binary spikes and compute only where and when a spike occurs, offering a route to more energy-efficient fusion.

Memory-Augmented Multimodal Large Language Models for Small Object Understanding in Streaming Aerial Videos

Language-guided aerial perception aims to understand user-specified tiny targets in complex unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) scenes. In real UAV deployment, the UAV must respond while it flies, so such perception runs in an online streaming manner, where frames arrive sequentially and the model responds to each one without access to future frames.

VizRAG: Enhancing Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Hypergraph Visualization

Hypergraph-based RAG systems surpass traditional graph-based approaches by organizing complex n-ary atomic facts among entities, rather than relying solely on binary relationships. Despite the advancements in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) with enhanced visual capabilities, current hypergraph-based RAG frameworks predominantly restrict knowledge retrieval and reconstruction to a unimodal, text-centric paradigm.
