SceneReGen: Generative Reconstruction of 3D Scenes from a Single Image

Single-image 3D scene reconstruction must complete partially observed objects and place them coherently in a shared observation-aligned scene frame. Object-level generative priors offer strong completion ability, but their centered, scale-normalized outputs are typically expressed in an object frame, creating a fundamental representation gap between object generation and scene reconstruction. We introduce SceneReGen, a generative reconstruction framework that reinterprets scene reconstruction as the generation and assembly of complete object assets in a shared observation-aligned scene frame. SceneReGen addresses the generation-reconstruction gap through selective pose factorization: each object's observed orientation is encoded directly in the generated mesh, while translation and scale are estimated from instance-level and global scene evidence. Given a scene image and instance masks, a geometry encoder extracts dense cues; learnable shape queries condition a pretrained DiT-based 3D generator to produce complete meshes in their observed orientations, while position queries fuse object and scene features to assemble them in the shared frame. On the 3D-FUTURE evaluation subset, SceneReGen achieves the best scene-level CD, scene-level F-Score, and 3D bounding-box IoU among the evaluated methods, ties the best object-level CD, and ranks second in object-level F-Score. Qualitative outputs in autonomous-driving and embodied-AI scenes further illustrate the potential of asset-centric reconstruction beyond indoor furniture.

Knowing the Unknown: Interpretable Open-World Object Detection via Concept Decomposition Model

Open-world object detection (OWOD) requires incrementally detecting known categories while reliably identifying unknown objects. Existing methods primarily focus on improving unknown recall, yet overlook interpretability, often leading to known-unknown confusion and reduced prediction reliability. This paper aims to make the entire OWOD framework interpretable, enabling the detector to truly "knowing the unknown". To this end, we propose a concept-driven InterPretable OWOD framework(IPOW) by introducing a Concept Decomposition Model (CDM) for OWOD, which explicitly decomposes the coupled RoI features in Faster R-CNN into discriminative, shared, and background concepts. Discriminative concepts identify the most discriminative features to enlarge the distances between known categories, while shared and background concepts, due to their strong generalization ability, can be readily transferred to detect unknown categories. Leveraging the interpretable framework, we identify that known-unknown confusion arises when unknown objects fall into the discriminative space of known classes. To address this, we propose Concept-Guided Rectification (CGR) to further resolve such confusion. Extensive experiments show that IPOW significantly improves unknown recall while mitigating confusion, and provides concept-level interpretability for both known and unknown predictions.

YOLO-IOD: Towards Real Time Incremental Object Detection

Current methods for incremental object detection (IOD) primarily rely on Faster R-CNN or DETR series detectors; however, these approaches do not accommodate the real-time YOLO detection frameworks. In this paper, we first identify three primary types of knowledge conflicts that contribute to catastrophic forgetting in YOLO-based incremental detectors: foreground-background confusion, parameter interference, and misaligned knowledge distillation. Subsequently, we introduce YOLO-IOD, a real-time Incremental Object Detection (IOD) framework that is constructed upon the pretrained YOLO-World model, facilitating incremental learning via a stage-wise parameter-efficient fine-tuning process. Specifically, YOLO-IOD encompasses three principal components: 1) Conflict-Aware Pseudo-Label Refinement (CPR), which mitigates the foreground-background confusion by leveraging the confidence levels of pseudo labels and identifying potential objects relevant to future tasks. 2) Importancebased Kernel Selection (IKS), which identifies and updates the pivotal convolution kernels pertinent to the current task during the current learning stage. 3) Cross-Stage Asymmetric Knowledge Distillation (CAKD), which addresses the misaligned knowledge distillation conflict by transmitting the features of the student target detector through the detection heads of both the previous and current teacher detectors, thereby facilitating asymmetric distillation between existing and newly introduced categories. We further introduce LoCo COCO, a more realistic benchmark that eliminates data leakage across stages. Experiments on both conventional and LoCo COCO benchmarks show that YOLO-IOD achieves superior performance with minimal forgetting.

WTU-EVAL: A Whether-or-Not Tool Usage Evaluation Benchmark for Large Language Models

Although Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in NLP tasks, they still need external tools to extend their ability. Current research on tool learning with LLMs often assumes mandatory tool use, which does not always align with real-world situations, where the necessity for tools is uncertain, and incorrect or unnecessary use of tools can damage the general abilities of LLMs. Therefore, we propose to explore whether LLMs can discern their ability boundaries and use tools flexibly. We then introduce the Whether-or-not tool usage Evaluation benchmark (WTU-Eval) to assess LLMs with eleven datasets, where six of them are tool-usage datasets, and five are general datasets. LLMs are prompted to use tools according to their needs. The results of eight LLMs on WTU-Eval reveal that LLMs frequently struggle to determine tool use in general datasets, and LLMs' performance in tool-usage datasets improves when their ability is similar to ChatGPT. In both datasets, incorrect tool usage significantly impairs LLMs' performance. To mitigate this, we also develop the finetuning dataset to enhance tool decision-making. Fine-tuning Llama2-7B results in a 14\% average performance improvement and a 16.8\% decrease in incorrect tool usage. We will release the WTU-Eval benchmark.

Improving Word Vector with Prior Knowledge in Semantic Dictionary

Using low dimensional vector space to represent words has been very effective in many NLP tasks. However, it doesn't work well when faced with the problem of rare and unseen words. In this paper, we propose to leverage the knowledge in semantic dictionary in combination with some morphological information to build an enhanced vector space. We get an improvement of 2.3% over the state-of-the-art Heidel Time system in temporal expression recognition, and obtain a large gain in other name entity recognition (NER) tasks. The semantic dictionary Hownet alone also shows promising results in computing lexical similarity.

Location Prediction of Social Images via Generative Model

The vast amount of geo-tagged social images has attracted great attention in research of predicting location using the plentiful content of images, such as visual content and textual description. Most of the existing researches use the text-based or vision-based method to predict location. There still exists a problem: how to effectively exploit the correlation between different types of content as well as their geographical distributions for location prediction. In this paper, we propose to predict image location by learning the latent relation between geographical location and multiple types of image content. In particularly, we propose a geographical topic model GTMI (geographical topic model of social image) to integrate multiple types of image content as well as the geographical distributions, In GTMI, image topic is modeled on both text vocabulary and visual feature. Each region has its own distribution over topics and hence has its own language model and vision pattern. The location of a new image is estimated based on the joint probability of image content and similarity measure on topic distribution between images. Experiment results demonstrate the performance of location prediction based on GTMI.
