Joint audio-video generation models have shown that unified generation yields stronger cross-modal coherence than cascaded approaches. However, existing models couple modalities throughout denoising via pervasive attention, treating high-level semantics and low-level details in a fully entangled manner. This is suboptimal for talking head synthesis: while audio and facial motion are semantically correlated, their low-level realizations (acoustic signals and visual textures) follow distinct rendering processes. Enforcing joint modeling across all levels causes unnecessary entanglement and reduces efficiency. We propose Talker-T2AV, an autoregressive diffusion framework where high-level cross-modal modeling occurs in a shared backbone, while low-level refinement uses modality-specific decoders. A shared autoregressive language model jointly reasons over audio and video in a unified patch-level token space. Two lightweight diffusion transformer heads decode the hidden states into frame-le

Foresight: 행동 조건부 월드 모델 잠재값으로 장기 로봇 조작 실패 감지

Long-horizon tasks are common in real-world robotic deployments, yet failure detection for such tasks remains underexplored. Detecting failures in long-horizon robotic tasks is particularly challenging because failure onset is often ambiguous and dense temporal annotations are typically unavailable. We present Foresight, a failure detection framework that monitors manipulation trajectories using latent representations from an action-conditioned world model. Foresight is trained using only final task-level success or failure labels. By leveraging predictive world-model embeddings, our method provides a unified framework for failure detection across different policies. We further use functional conformal prediction (FCP) to calibrate detection thresholds adaptively. We evaluate Foresight with state-of-the-art vision-language-action policies in simulation on LIBERO-Long, ManiSkill-Long, and BEHAVIOR-1K, compare it against state-of-the-artfailure detection methods, and validate it on real

Autoregressive video diffusion is emerging as a promising paradigm for streaming video synthesis, with step distillation serving as the primary means of accelerating inference. Whether speculative decoding, the dominant acceleration strategy for large language models, can be effectively adapted to autoregressive video generation remains an open question, because video blocks are continuous spatiotemporal tensors with no token-level distribution for exact rejection sampling. We introduce SDVG, which brings speculative decoding to block-based autoregressive video diffusion by replacing token verification with an image-quality router. A 1.3B drafter proposes candidate blocks via four denoising steps; each block is VAE-decoded and scored by ImageReward using worst-frame aggregation--taking the minimum per-frame reward to catch single-frame artifacts that averaging would mask. Blocks scoring above a fixed threshold tau are accepted into the 14B target's KV cache; the rest are regenerated by

장기 과제 LLM 에이전트를 위한 메타인지 메모리 정책 최적화

Memory-augmented LLM agents tackle complex long-horizon tasks by recursively summarizing interaction trajectories into compact memory. However, existing approaches typically train these memory policies using outcome-based reinforcement learning, failing to localize where intermediate memory quality degrades. As interactions unfold, ambiguous recursive summaries progressively discard task-relevant information and introduce semantic noise. This exacerbates belief deviation, obscuring the agent's estimate of the latent task state and ultimately derailing long-horizon reasoning. We therefore argue that memory optimization should focus not merely on trajectory-level success, but on the clarity of the belief induced by intermediate summaries. To this end, we introduce Belief Entropy, a self-supervised proxy that probes how uncertain the model remains about the latent task state given its current memory. Based on this proxy, we propose Metacognitive Memory Policy Optimization (MMPO). Instead

진짜 다국어 ASR로: 미지의 언어 조합까지 확장하는 코드 스위칭 음성인식

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has become a key technology for human--AI interaction. However, code-switching ASR (CS-ASR) remains particularly challenging due to the severe scarcity of multilingual CS speech resources across diverse language pairs. Existing approaches primarily improve CS-ASR performance through synthetic CS speech generation or pair-specific fine-tuning on limited bilingual datasets. Nevertheless, these approaches face an inherent scalability limitation, as support for CS must be developed separately for language pairs whose number grows combinatorially with the number of supported languages. In this work, we investigate whether CS capabilities learned from a limited set of seen language pairs can generalize to unseen language pairs through model merging and domain generalization methods. Our experiments show that merged bilingual CS-ASR models modestly generalize to unseen language pairs, suggesting limited transfer of bilingual CS capabilities across language p

AdaCodec: 비디오 MLLM을 위한 예측형 비주얼 코드

Video is temporally redundant: adjacent frames usually share most objects, background, and layout. Yet existing video multimodal large language models (video MLLMs) usually encode each sampled frame as an independent RGB image, causing visual tokens to repeat content already present in earlier frames. This suggests a more direct video interface: send a full reference frame only when the scene cannot be predicted well from prior context, and otherwise transmit a compact description of inter-frame changes. We call this interface a predictive visual code, and instantiate it for video MLLMs as AdaCodec. AdaCodec spends full visual tokens on a reference frame only when its conditional predictive cost is high; otherwise, it encodes inter-frame changes, including motion and prediction residuals, as compact P-tokens. Across all eleven benchmarks, AdaCodec improves over the Qwen3-VL-8B per-frame RGB baseline at a matched visual-token budget. Even at 1/7 the budget, AdaCodec with 32k tokens surp

We address the problem of generating a 3D-consistent, navigable environment that is spatially grounded: a simulation of a real location. Existing video generative models can produce a plausible sequence that is consistent with a text (T2V) or image (I2V) prompt. However, the capability to reconstruct the real world under arbitrary weather conditions and dynamic object configurations is essential for downstream applications including autonomous driving and robotics simulation. To this end, we present CityRAG, a video generative model that leverages large corpora of geo-registered data as context to ground generation to the physical scene, while maintaining learned priors for complex motion and appearance changes. CityRAG relies on temporally unaligned training data, which teaches the model to semantically disentangle the underlying scene from its transient attributes. Our experiments demonstrate that CityRAG can generate coherent minutes-long, physically grounded video sequences, mainta

Training stable biological foundation models requires rethinking attention mechanisms: we find that using sigmoid attention as a drop in replacement for softmax attention a) produces better learned representations: on six diverse single-cell datasets, sigmoid achieves 25% higher cell-type separation, better cell-type cohesion metrics, and lower validation loss, b) faster training, models with sigmoid attention train up to 10% faster than their softmax counterparts, and c) more stable training by eliminating inherent sources of instability in softmax attention. We establish that sigmoid attention has globally bounded derivatives (leq 0.25) as opposed to softmax, and a diagonal Jacobian structure in contrast with softmax's dense coupling, which together help alleviate training instabilities. In stress tests on 160M-parameter bidirectional attention models trained without gradient clipping on 8K-token sequences, softmax diverges catastrophically, with gradients exploding by four orders of

반복 게임에서 적응형 상대를 상대로 한 후회 최소화

In this paper, we study regret minimization in repeated games with adaptive opponents who can respond based on histories of play. The standard metric of external regret in online learning is known to fail to capture such adaptivity. To account for players' counterfactual reasoning, we introduce {\tt Repeated Policy Regret (RP-Regret)}, a game-theoretic metric that measures the difference between the realized and the best-in-hindsight accumulated utility when all players can respond to the history of play. Compared to existing regret notions in this setting, ours is native to repeated game playing, enabling stronger comparators and opponents with fewer constraints, while maintaining the possibility of finding better equilibria when all players minimize it. We first identify necessary conditions for obtaining {\tt RP-Regret} sublinear in time, on the variation of the player's comparator strategies in the regret definition and on the memories of both the comparator and opponents' strategi

Distributed blackbox consensus optimization is a fundamental problem in multi-agent systems, where agents must improve a global objective using only local objective queries and limited neighbor communication. Existing methods largely rely on handcrafted update rules and static cooperation patterns, which often struggle to balance local adaptation, global coordination, and communication efficiency in heterogeneous nonconvex environments. In this paper, we take an initial step toward trajectory-driven self-design for distributed black-box consensus optimization. We first redesign the agent-level swarm dynamics with an adaptive internal mechanism tailored to decentralized consensus settings, improving the balance between exploration, convergence, and local escape. Built on top of this adaptive execution layer, we propose Learning to Act and Cooperate (LACMAS), a trajectorydriven framework in which large language models provide sparse highlevel guidance for shaping both agentinternal actio

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) often suffer from hallucinations, generating descriptions that include visual details absent from the input image. Recent preference alignment methods typically rely on supervision distilled from stronger models such as GPT. However, this offline paradigm introduces a Supervision-Perception Mismatch: the student model is forced to align with fine-grained details beyond its perceptual capacity, learning to guess rather than to see. To obtain reliable self-supervision for online learning, we identify a Generative-Discriminative Gap within LVLMs, where models exhibit higher accuracy on discriminative verification than open-ended generation. Leveraging this capability, we propose Online Self-CAlibRation (OSCAR), a framework that integrates Monte Carlo Tree Search with a Dual-Granularity Reward Mechanism to construct preference data and iteratively refines the model via Direct Preference Optimization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that OSCAR achieves

Given the rapidly growing capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs), extending them to interactive decision-making tasks such as video games has emerged as a promising frontier. However, existing approaches either rely on large-scale supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on human trajectories or apply reinforcement learning (RL) only in relatively short-horizon settings (typically around 20--30 turns). In this work, we study RL-based training of VLMs for long-horizon decision-making in Super Mario Land, a visually grounded environment requiring 100+ turns of interaction with coordinated perception, reasoning, and action. We begin with a systematic investigation of key algorithmic components and propose an adapted variant of PPO with a lightweight turn-level critic, which substantially improves training stability and sample efficiency over critic-free methods such as GRPO and Reinforce++. We further show that pretrained VLMs provide strong action priors, significantly improving sample effici

SABER: 상태 기반 프로젝트 워크스페이스에서 LLM 코딩 에이전트의 운영 안전성 벤치마크

Large language models are increasingly deployed as coding agents, shifting safety from individual responses to action sequences. Existing benchmarks, however, primarily assess whether models refuse unsafe prompts, leaving impacts on stateful workspaces largely unexamined. We present SABER, a benchmark for environment-aware operational safety that places models in realistic agent-style projects and evaluates safety from the final environment state after a sequence of actions. Beyond binary safety-violation reports, SABER categorizes violations by cause, enabling analysis of model-specific safety profiles. Our evaluations show that even the best-performing model has more than a 54% harmful safety-violation rate (HSR), suggesting that current alignment remains insufficient for realistic project environments. SABER further reveals distinct safety profiles across models. Our benchmark is publicly available at https://github.com/sssr-lab/saber.

AnchorWorld: 시점 기반 진화 커스터마이징을 적용한 체화형 자기중심 월드 시뮬레이션

Despite being a pivotal frontier, interactive world modeling remains underexplored in terms of the versatile controllability required by practical scenarios. To bridge this gap, we present AnchorWorld, a framework that advances egocentric simulation through enhanced interaction integrity and a flexible mechanism for world customization. First, we utilize 3D human motion as the primary interaction modality. To complement the out-of-view or truncated body parts in egocentric views, we introduce an auxiliary training supervision that incorporates exogenous viewpoints decoupled from the agent's first-person sensorium. It allows the model to observe the agent's full-body positioning relative to the environment, facilitating a more robust spatial grounding of human-world interactions. Furthermore, we propose a simple yet effective mechanism for customizing self-evolving worlds. This is achieved by defining anchor views within a unified world coordinate system, coupled with textual descriptio

Autoregressive image modeling relies on visual tokenizers to compress images into compact latent representations. We design an end-to-end training pipeline that jointly optimizes reconstruction and generation, enabling direct supervision from generation results to the tokenizer. This contrasts with prior two-stage approaches that train tokenizers and generative models separately. We further investigate leveraging vision foundation models to improve 1D tokenizers for autoregressive modeling. Our autoregressive generative model achieves strong empirical results, including a state-of-the-art FID score of 1.48 without guidance on ImageNet 256x256 generation.

We argue that high-quality motion data can steer tracking policies toward better optimization trajectories early in training. In this work, we introduce LIMMT (Less Is More for Motion Tracking). To our knowledge, this is the first data-centric study for physics-based humanoid motion tracking. We go beyond simply removing low-quality and erroneous clips, but define motion data quality through three dimensions: physics feasibility, diversity, and complexity. We show that even training with under 3% of AMASS yields better tracking performance than training with the full dataset. We further conduct data cleaning on the estimated web-sourced mocap data. Extensive experiments and analyses validate the effectiveness of our framework.

Decision trees and diffusion models are ostensibly disparate model classes, one discrete and hierarchical, the other continuous and dynamic. This work unifies the two by establishing a crisp mathematical correspondence between hierarchical decision trees and diffusion processes in appropriate limiting regimes. Our unification reveals a shared optimization principle: Global Trajectory Score Matching (GTSM), for which gradient boosting (in an idealized version) is asymptotically optimal. We underscore the conceptual value of our work through two key practical instantiations: \treeflow, which achieves competitive generation quality on tabular data with higher fidelity and a 2\times computational speedup, and \dsmtree, a novel distillation method that transfers hierarchical decision logic into neural networks, matching teacher performance within 2\% on many benchmarks.

Large Language Model (LLM) Red-Teaming, which proactively identifies vulnerabilities of LLMs, is an essential process for ensuring safety. Finding effective and diverse attacks in red-teaming is important, but achieving both is challenging. Generative Flow Networks (GFNs) that perform distribution matching are a promising methods, but they are notorious for training instability and mode collapse. In particular, unstable rewards in red-teaming accelerate mode collapse. We propose Stable-GFN (S-GFN), which eliminates partition function Z estimation in GFN and reduces training instability. S-GFN avoids Z-estimation through pairwise comparisons and employs a robust masking methodology against noisy rewards. Additionally, we propose a fluency stabilizer to prevent the model from getting stuck in local optima that produce gibberish. S-GFN provides more stable training while maintaining the optimal policy of GFN. We demonstrate the overwhelming attack performance and diversity of S-GFN across

Generalist robot policies increasingly benefit from large-scale pretraining, but offline data alone is insufficient for robust real-world deployment. Deployed robots encounter distribution shifts, long-tail failures, task variations, and human correction opportunities that fixed demonstration datasets cannot fully capture. We present Learning While Deploying (LWD), a fleet-scale offline-to-online reinforcement learning framework for continual post-training of generalist Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies. Starting from a pretrained VLA policy, LWD closes the loop between deployment, shared physical experience, policy improvement, and redeployment by using autonomous rollouts and human interventions collected across a robot fleet. To stabilize learning from heterogeneous, sparse-reward fleet data, LWD combines Distributional Implicit Value Learning (DIVL) for robust value estimation with Q-learning via Adjoint Matching (QAM) for policy extraction in flow-based VLA action generators.

SPACENUM: VLM의 공간적 수치 이해 재조명

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed in embodied environments, where they need produce numerical outputs such as action magnitudes and spatial coordinates. Although these numbers appear meaningful, it remains unclear whether these numerical outputs are genuinely grounded in spatial perception. Therefore, in this work, we revisit spatial numerical understanding through SpaceNum, a unified framework that captures two complementary settings: numbers as dynamic transitions during spatial exploration, and numbers as static layouts in spatial reasoning. We formulate two bidirectional tasks, Num2Space and Space2Num, to evaluate how well VLMs map between vision-side spatial structure and language-side numerical representations. We systematically study whether current VLMs truly understand numerical values in spatial settings. Across dynamic transitions and static layouts, we find that models largely fail to ground numbers in spatial meaning and often perform close to random

3D 비전의 모든 것: 데이터·학습 패러다임·응용

3D vision has rapidly evolved, driven by increasingly diverse data representations, learning paradigms, and modeling strategies. Yet the field remains fragmented across representations and benchmarks, making it difficult to develop unified perspectives on efficiency, fidelity, and scalability. This work provides a data-centric taxonomy of 3D vision that connects geometric representations, datasets, learning frameworks, and applications within a single conceptual map. We begin by analysing the principal structural representations of 3D data--point clouds, meshes, voxels, and 3D Gaussians--along with their acquisition pipelines. We then examine how dataset design, benchmark construction, and supervision regimes shape recent advances, spanning 2D-supervised 3D learning, implicit neural representations, and 4D world modeling. Through this integrative lens, we clarify the relationships among representations, learning paradigms, and downstream tasks in reconstruction, generation, and video m

Instruction-following information retrieval (IF-IR) studies retrieval systems that must not only find documents relevant to a query, but also obey explicit user constraints such as required attributes, exclusions, or output preferences. However, most retrievers are trained primarily for semantic relevance and often fail to distinguish documents that match the topic from those that satisfy the instruction. We propose a dual-view data synthesis strategy based on polarity reversal: given a query, a document that is relevant under the instruction, and a hard negative that matches the query but violates the instruction, we prompt an LLM to generate a complementary instruction under which the two documents swap relevance labels. By presenting the same document pair under complementary instructions that invert their relevance labels, the training signal forces the retriever to reconsider the same candidate set through the instruction, rather than relying on fixed topical cues.

LLM agents increasingly rely on reusable skills, capability packages that combine instructions, control flow, constraints, and tool calls. In most current agent systems, however, skills are still represented by text-heavy artifacts, including SKILL.md-style documents and structured records whose machine-usable evidence remains embedded largely in natural-language descriptions. This poses a challenge for skill-centered agent systems: managing skill collections and using skills to support agent both require reasoning over invocation interfaces, execution structure, and concrete side effects that are often entangled in a single textual surface. An explicit representation of skill knowledge may therefore help make these artifacts easier for machines to acquire and leverage. Drawing on Memory Organization Packets, Script Theory, and Conceptual Dependency from Schank and Abelson's classical work on linguistic knowledge representation, we introduce what is, to our knowledge, the first structu

Text-based 2D image editing models have recently reached an impressive level of maturity, motivating a growing body of work that heavily depends on these models to drive 3D edits. While effective for appearance-based modifications, such 2D-centric 3D editing pipelines often struggle with fine-grained 3D editing, where localized structural changes must be applied while strictly preserving an object's overall identity. To address this limitation, we propose Prox-E, a training-free framework that enables fine-grained 3D control through an explicit, primitive-based geometric abstraction. Our framework first abstracts an input 3D shape into a compact set of geometric primitives. A pretrained vision-language model (VLM) then edits this abstraction to specify primitive-level changes. These structural edits are subsequently used to guide a 3D generative model, enabling fine-grained, localized modifications while preserving unchanged regions of the original shape.

Compress-Distill: 효율적인 지식 증류를 위한 추론 트레이스 압축

Reasoning models produce long chain-of-thought traces that are costly to distill and encourage verbose student outputs. We study post-hoc compression of such traces before knowledge distillation. Two teachers, Qwen3.5-397B-A17B and gpt-oss-120B, generate about 283k correct traces each; two instruction-tuned models then compress them to 8.6-21.0% of their original character length. Across a 48-run main grid plus seven Qwen-teacher truncation ablations, compressed traces reduce training tokens to 12-30% of raw, speed up training by 2.0-7.6x, and shorten inference outputs by 3-19x with smaller reductions under the shorter gpt-oss teacher. However, raw traces retain the highest downstream accuracy at every scale and for both teachers. A length-matched raw-trace truncation ablation shows that compression is not merely benefiting from a smaller token budget: model-compressed traces usually beat or match naive truncation, especially for smaller students, while maintaining shorter inference ou

3D world generation is essential for applications such as immersive content creation or autonomous driving simulation. Recent advances in 3D world generation have shown promising results; however, these methods are constrained by grid layouts and suffer from inconsistencies in object scale throughout the entire world. In this work, we introduce a novel framework, Map2World, that first enables 3D world generation conditioned on user-defined segment maps of arbitrary shapes and scales, ensuring global-scale consistency and flexibility across expansive environments. To further enhance the quality, we propose a detail enhancer network that generates fine details of the world. The detail enhancer enables the addition of fine-grained details without compromising overall scene coherence by incorporating global structure information.

In real-world applications, models are expected to perform reliably across diverse settings. Yet, many existing multimodal benchmarks expand task types without capturing the visual diversity needed to handle open-ended visual inputs. We present WorldBench, a challenging and visually diverse reasoning benchmark to evaluate Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). We build a taxonomy of thousands of visual concepts across multiple domains (e.g., living things). Guided by this taxonomy, we curate a broad collection of images from search engines and existing datasets to comprehensively represent the visual world. Through structured trial-and-error, we manually design challenging questions that frontier MLLMs fail to answer. On quantitative and human evaluations, WorldBench achieves higher visual diversity than any existing diverse benchmark. Evaluating 15 MLLMs on WorldBench reveals weaknesses in visual understanding: even the strongest model reaches only 64.0% accuracy, while some models

Foundation models are routinely fine-tuned for use in particular domains, yet safety assessments are typically conducted only on base models, implicitly assuming that safety properties persist through downstream adaptation. We test this assumption by analyzing the safety behavior of 100 models, including widely deployed fine-tunes in the medical and legal domains as well as controlled adaptations of open foundation models alongside their bases. Across general-purpose and domain-specific safety benchmarks, we find that benign fine-tuning induces large, heterogeneous, and often contradictory changes in measured safety: models frequently improve on some instruments while degrading on others, with substantial disagreement across evaluations. These results show that safety behavior is not stable under ordinary downstream adaptation, raising critical questions about governance and deployment practices centered on base-model evaluations. Without explicit re-evaluation of fine-tuned models in

Human visual preferences are inherently multi-dimensional, encompassing aesthetics, detail fidelity, and semantic alignment. However, existing datasets provide only single, holistic annotations, resulting in severe label noise: images that excel in some dimensions but are deficient in others are simply marked as winner or loser. We theoretically demonstrate that compressing multi-dimensional preferences into binary labels generates conflicting gradient signals that misguide Diffusion Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). To address this, we propose Semi-DPO, a semi-supervised approach that treats consistent pairs as clean labeled data and conflicting ones as noisy unlabeled data. Our method starts by training on a consensus-filtered clean subset, then uses this model as an implicit classifier to generate pseudo-labels for the noisy set for iterative refinement. Experimental results demonstrate that Semi-DPO achieves state-of-the-art performance and significantly improves alignment with

While preference optimization is crucial for improving visual generative models, how to effectively scale this paradigm remains largely unexplored. Current open-source preference datasets contain conflicting preference patterns, where winners excel in some dimensions but underperform in others. Naively optimizing on such noisy datasets fails to learn preferences, hindering effective scaling. To enhance robustness against noise, we propose Poly-DPO, which extends the DPO objective with an additional polynomial term that dynamically adjusts model confidence based on dataset characteristics, enabling effective learning across diverse data distributions. Beyond biased patterns, existing datasets suffer from low resolution, limited prompt diversity, and imbalanced distributions. To facilitate large-scale visual preference optimization by tackling data bottlenecks, we construct ViPO, a massive-scale preference dataset with 1M image pairs at 1024px across five categories and 300K video pairs
