ReflectWorld-MM: An Entity-Oriented Multimodal Memory System for Open-Ended Video Streams

arXiv:2607. 09759v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Building assistants that can continually watch the world, remember what they see, and reason over their accumulated experience is a long-standing goal, and recently multimodal agents equipped with long-term memory over video streams have attracted increasing interest.

Continual Learning with Elastic Regularization and Synthetic Replay for Federated MLLM Fine-Tuning

arXiv:2607. 12112v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated fine-tuning of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) across distributed networks enables privacy-sensitive adaptation to evolving data streams, yet a fundamental obstacle prevents robust deployment in dynamic environments: catastrophic forgetting, wherein sequential task updates erase previously acquired knowledge across visual, linguistic, and cross-modal representations.

An Omnilingual-ASR-Based Speech-LLM System for the 2nd MLC-SLM Challenge

arXiv:2607. 12468v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe our submission to Task 1 of the 2nd MLCSLM Challenge: a cascaded diarization-then-recognition system that combines DiariZen-Large-s80 (WavLM-Large) segmentation, CAM++ embedding-based two-speaker clustering, and a LoRA-adapted omniASR LLM 7B v2 recognizer, with no oracle segmentation or speaker labels at test time.
