DiPO: Disentangled Perplexity Policy Optimization for Fine-grained Exploration-Exploitation Trade-Off

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has catalyzed significant advances in the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, effectively managing the exploration and exploitation trade-off remains a critical challenge. In this paper, we fully analyze the exploration and exploitation dilemma of extremely hard and easy samples during the training and propose a new fine-grained trade-off mechanism. Concretely, we introduce a perplexity space disentangling strategy that divides the sample space into distinct exploration (high perplexity) and exploitation (low perplexity) subspaces, thereby mining fine-grained samples requiring exploration-exploitation trade-off. Subsequently, we propose a bidirectional reward allocation mechanism with a minimum impact on verification rewards to implement perplexity-guided exploration and exploitation, enabling more stable policy optimization. Finally, we have evaluated our method on two mainstream tasks: mathematical reasoning and function calling, and experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method, confirming its effectiveness in enhancing LLM performance by fine-grained exploration-exploitation trade-off.

Direct Segmentation without Logits Optimization for Training-Free Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation

Open-vocabulary semantic segmentation (OVSS) aims to segment arbitrary category regions in images using open-vocabulary prompts, necessitating that existing methods possess pixel-level vision-language alignment capability. Typically, this capability involves computing the cosine similarity, \ie, logits, between visual and linguistic features, and minimizing the distribution discrepancy between the logits and the ground truth (GT) to generate optimal logits that are subsequently used to construct segmentation maps, yet it depends on time-consuming iterative training or model-specific attention modulation. In this work, we propose a more direct approach that eschews the logits-optimization process by directly deriving an analytic solution for the segmentation map. We posit a key hypothesis: the distribution discrepancy encodes semantic information; specifically, this discrepancy exhibits consistency across patches belonging to the same category but inconsistency across different categories. Based on this hypothesis, we directly utilize the analytic solution of this distribution discrepancy as the semantic maps. In other words, we reformulate the optimization of the distribution discrepancy as deriving its analytic solution, thereby eliminating time-consuming iterative training, freeing us from model-specific attention modulation, and achieving state-of-the-art performance on eight benchmark datasets.

Beyond Semantics: Uncovering the Physics of Fakes via Universal Physical Descriptors for Cross-Modal Synthetic Detection

The rapid advancement of AI generated content (AIGC) has blurred the boundaries between real and synthetic images, exposing the limitations of existing deepfake detectors that often overfit to specific generative models. This adaptability crisis calls for a fundamental reexamination of the intrinsic physical characteristics that distinguish natural from AI-generated images. In this paper, we address two critical research questions: (1) What physical features can stably and robustly discriminate AI generated images across diverse datasets and generative architectures? (2) Can these objective pixel-level features be integrated into multimodal models like CLIP to enhance detection performance while mitigating the unreliability of language-based information? To answer these questions, we conduct a comprehensive exploration of 15 physical features across more than 20 datasets generated by various GANs and diffusion models. We propose a novel feature selection algorithm that identifies five core physical features including Laplacian variance, Sobel statistics, and residual noise variance that exhibit consistent discriminative power across all tested datasets. These features are then converted into text encoded values and integrated with semantic captions to guide image text representation learning in CLIP. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple Genimage benchmarks, with near-perfect accuracy (99.8%) on datasets such as Wukong and SDv1.4. By bridging pixel level authenticity with semantic understanding, this work pioneers the use of physically grounded features for trustworthy vision language modeling and opens new directions for mitigating hallucinations and textual inaccuracies in large multimodal models.

PC-CrossDiff: Point-Cluster Dual-Level Cross-Modal Differential Attention for Unified 3D Referring and Segmentation

3D Visual Grounding (3DVG) aims to localize the referent of natural language referring expressions through two core tasks: Referring Expression Comprehension (3DREC) and Segmentation (3DRES). While existing methods achieve high accuracy in simple, single-object scenes, they suffer from severe performance degradation in complex, multi-object scenes that are common in real-world settings, hindering practical deployment. Existing methods face two key challenges in complex, multi-object scenes: inadequate parsing of implicit localization cues critical for disambiguating visually similar objects, and ineffective suppression of dynamic spatial interference from co-occurring objects, resulting in degraded grounding accuracy. To address these challenges, we propose PC-CrossDiff, a unified dual-task framework with a dual-level cross-modal differential attention architecture for 3DREC and 3DRES. Specifically, the framework introduces: (i) Point-Level Differential Attention (PLDA) modules that apply bidirectional differential attention between text and point clouds, adaptively extracting implicit localization cues via learnable weights to improve discriminative representation; (ii) Cluster-Level Differential Attention (CLDA) modules that establish a hierarchical attention mechanism to adaptively enhance localization-relevant spatial relationships while suppressing ambiguous or irrelevant spatial relations through a localization-aware differential attention block. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on the ScanRefer, NR3D, and SR3D benchmarks. Notably, on the Implicit subsets of ScanRefer, it improves the Overall@0.50 score by +10.16% for the 3DREC task, highlighting its strong ability to parse implicit spatial cues.

Continual-NExT: A Unified Comprehension And Generation Continual Learning Framework

Dual-to-Dual MLLMs refer to Multimodal Large Language Models, which can enable unified multimodal comprehension and generation through text and image modalities. Although exhibiting strong instantaneous learning and generalization capabilities, Dual-to-Dual MLLMs still remain deficient in lifelong evolution, significantly affecting continual adaptation to dynamic real-world scenarios. One of the challenges is that learning new tasks inevitably destroys the learned knowledge. Beyond traditional catastrophic forgetting, Dual-to-Dual MLLMs face other challenges, including hallucination, instruction unfollowing, and failures in cross-modal knowledge transfer. However, no standardized continual learning framework for Dual-to-Dual MLLMs has been established yet, leaving these challenges unexplored. Thus, in this paper, we establish Continual-NExT, a continual learning framework for Dual-to-Dual MLLMs with deliberately-architected evaluation metrics. To improve the continual learning capability of Dual-to-Dual MLLMs, we propose an efficient MAGE (Mixture and Aggregation of General LoRA and Expert LoRA) method to further facilitate knowledge transfer across modalities and mitigate forgetting. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MAGE outperforms other continual learning methods and achieves state-of-the-art performance.

Target Refocusing via Attention Redistribution for Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation: An Explainability Perspective

Open-vocabulary semantic segmentation (OVSS) employs pixel-level vision-language alignment to associate category-related prompts with corresponding pixels. A key challenge is enhancing the multimodal dense prediction capability, specifically this pixel-level multimodal alignment. Although existing methods achieve promising results by leveraging CLIP's vision-language alignment, they rarely investigate the performance boundaries of CLIP for dense prediction from an interpretability mechanisms perspective. In this work, we systematically investigate CLIP's internal mechanisms and identify a critical phenomenon: analogous to human distraction, CLIP diverts significant attention resources from target regions to irrelevant tokens. Our analysis reveals that these tokens arise from dimension-specific over-activation; filtering them enhances CLIP's dense prediction performance. Consequently, we propose ReFocusing CLIP (RF-CLIP), a training-free approach that emulates human distraction-refocusing behavior to redirect attention from distraction tokens back to target regions, thereby refining CLIP's multimodal alignment granularity. Our method achieves SOTA performance on eight benchmarks while maintaining high inference efficiency.

Novel Category Discovery with X-Agent Attention for Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation

Open-vocabulary semantic segmentation (OVSS) conducts pixel-level classification via text-driven alignment, where the domain discrepancy between base category training and open-vocabulary inference poses challenges in discriminative modeling of latent unseen category. To address this challenge, existing vision-language model (VLM)-based approaches demonstrate commendable performance through pre-trained multi-modal representations. However, the fundamental mechanisms of latent semantic comprehension remain underexplored, making the bottleneck for OVSS. In this work, we initiate a probing experiment to explore distribution patterns and dynamics of latent semantics in VLMs under inductive learning paradigms. Building on these insights, we propose X-Agent, an innovative OVSS framework employing latent semantic-aware ``agent'' to orchestrate cross-modal attention mechanisms, simultaneously optimizing latent semantic dynamic and amplifying its perceptibility. Extensive benchmark evaluations demonstrate that X-Agent achieves state-of-the-art performance while effectively enhancing the latent semantic saliency.

SeqVLM: Proposal-Guided Multi-View Sequences Reasoning via VLM for Zero-Shot 3D Visual Grounding

3D Visual Grounding (3DVG) aims to localize objects in 3D scenes using natural language descriptions. Although supervised methods achieve higher accuracy in constrained settings, zero-shot 3DVG holds greater promise for real-world applications since eliminating scene-specific training requirements. However, existing zero-shot methods face challenges of spatial-limited reasoning due to reliance on single-view localization, and contextual omissions or detail degradation. To address these issues, we propose SeqVLM, a novel zero-shot 3DVG framework that leverages multi-view real-world scene images with spatial information for target object reasoning. Specifically, SeqVLM first generates 3D instance proposals via a 3D semantic segmentation network and refines them through semantic filtering, retaining only semantic-relevant candidates. A proposal-guided multi-view projection strategy then projects these candidate proposals onto real scene image sequences, preserving spatial relationships and contextual details in the conversion process of 3D point cloud to images. Furthermore, to mitigate VLM computational overload, we implement a dynamic scheduling mechanism that iteratively processes sequances-query prompts, leveraging VLM's cross-modal reasoning capabilities to identify textually specified objects. Experiments on the ScanRefer and Nr3D benchmarks demonstrate state-of-the-art performance, achieving Acc@0.25 scores of 55.6% and 53.2%, surpassing previous zero-shot methods by 4.0% and 5.2%, respectively, which advance 3DVG toward greater generalization and real-world applicability.

Training-Free Anomaly Generation via Dual-Attention Enhancement in Diffusion Model

Industrial anomaly detection (AD) plays a significant role in manufacturing where a long-standing challenge is data scarcity. A growing body of works have emerged to address insufficient anomaly data via anomaly generation. However, these anomaly generation methods suffer from lack of fidelity or need to be trained with extra data. To this end, we propose a training-free anomaly generation framework dubbed AAG, which is based on Stable Diffusion (SD)'s strong generation ability for effective anomaly image generation. Given a normal image, mask and a simple text prompt, AAG can generate realistic and natural anomalies in the specific regions and simultaneously keep contents in other regions unchanged. In particular, we propose Cross-Attention Enhancement (CAE) to re-engineer the cross-attention mechanism within Stable Diffusion based on the given mask. CAE increases the similarity between visual tokens in specific regions and text embeddings, which guides these generated visual tokens in accordance with the text description. Besides, generated anomalies need to be more natural and plausible with object in given image. We propose Self-Attention Enhancement (SAE) which improves similarity between each normal visual token and anomaly visual tokens. SAE ensures that generated anomalies are coherent with original pattern. Extensive experiments on MVTec AD and VisA datasets demonstrate effectiveness of AAG in anomaly generation and its utility. Furthermore, anomaly images generated by AAG can bolster performance of various downstream anomaly inspection tasks.

Diffusion Once and Done: Degradation-Aware LoRA for Efficient All-in-One Image Restoration

Diffusion models have revealed powerful potential in all-in-one image restoration (AiOIR), which is talented in generating abundant texture details. The existing AiOIR methods either retrain a diffusion model or fine-tune the pretrained diffusion model with extra conditional guidance. However, they often suffer from high inference costs and limited adaptability to diverse degradation types. In this paper, we propose an efficient AiOIR method, Diffusion Once and Done (DOD), which aims to achieve superior restoration performance with only one-step sampling of Stable Diffusion (SD) models. Specifically, multi-degradation feature modulation is first introduced to capture different degradation prompts with a pretrained diffusion model. Then, parameter-efficient conditional low-rank adaptation integrates the prompts to enable the fine-tuning of the SD model for adapting to different degradation types. Besides, a high-fidelity detail enhancement module is integrated into the decoder of SD to improve structural and textural details. Experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms existing diffusion-based restoration approaches in both visual quality and inference efficiency.

T2S: Tokenized Skill Scaling for Lifelong Imitation Learning

The main challenge in lifelong imitation learning lies in the balance between mitigating catastrophic forgetting of previous skills while maintaining sufficient capacity for acquiring new ones. However, current approaches typically address these aspects in isolation, overlooking their internal correlation in lifelong skill acquisition. We address this limitation with a unified framework named Tokenized Skill Scaling (T2S). Specifically, by tokenizing the model parameters, the linear parameter mapping of the traditional transformer is transformed into cross-attention between input and learnable tokens, thereby enhancing model scalability through the easy extension of new tokens. Additionally, we introduce language-guided skill scaling to transfer knowledge across tasks efficiently and avoid linearly growing parameters. Extensive experiments across diverse tasks demonstrate that T2S: 1) effectively prevents catastrophic forgetting (achieving an average NBT of 1.0% across the three LIBERO task suites), 2) excels in new skill scaling with minimal increases in trainable parameters (needing only 8.0% trainable tokens in an average of lifelong tasks), and 3) enables efficient knowledge transfer between tasks (achieving an average FWT of 77.7% across the three LIBERO task suites), offering a promising solution for lifelong imitation learning.

UniLDiff: Unlocking the Power of Diffusion Priors for All-in-One Image Restoration

All-in-One Image Restoration (AiOIR) has emerged as a promising yet challenging research direction. To address the core challenges of diverse degradation modeling and detail preservation, we propose UniLDiff, a unified framework enhanced with degradation- and detail-aware mechanisms, unlocking the power of diffusion priors for robust image restoration. Specifically, we introduce a Degradation-Aware Feature Fusion (DAFF) to dynamically inject low-quality features into each denoising step via decoupled fusion and adaptive modulation, enabling implicit modeling of diverse and compound degradations. Furthermore, we design a Detail-Aware Expert Module (DAEM) in the decoder to enhance texture and fine-structure recovery through expert routing. Extensive experiments across multi-task and mixed degradation settings demonstrate that our method consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance, highlighting the practical potential of diffusion priors for unified image restoration. Our code will be released.

YouTube-Occ: Learning Indoor 3D Semantic Occupancy Prediction from YouTube Videos

3D semantic occupancy prediction is crucial for fine-grained scene understanding, yet its advancement in privacy-sensitive indoor environments is fundamentally hindered by the scarcity of large-scale annotated 3D data. To overcome this limitation, we explore learning indoor 3D semantic occupancy prediction from abundant, uncalibrated in-the-wild internet videos while simultaneously bypassing the extensive manual annotation. Specifically, we introduce \textit{YouTube-Occ}, including an automated data pipeline that leverages 2D and 3D foundation models to process raw web videos, estimating camera geometry, reconstructing scene point clouds, and enriching them with dense semantic pseudo-labels. However, these plausible pseudo-labels fail to yield performance gains under naive supervision. To address this impasse, we further propose a pre-training framework driven by feature distillation with a dual-alignment strategy. Within it, an intra-frame alignment utilizes a voxel-anchored Gaussianization module to align 3D features with corresponding 2D priors, whereas a cross-scene alignment achieves global semantic consistency via class-prototype distillation. Empirically, YouTube-Occ delivers consistent gains across three mainstream architectures on the NYUv2 and Occ-ScanNet benchmarks, especially under limited-data conditions. We will publicly release our code and data, hoping to inspire future research.

One-for-More: Continual Diffusion Model for Anomaly Detection

With the rise of generative models, there is a growing interest in unifying all tasks within a generative framework. Anomaly detection methods also fall into this scope and utilize diffusion models to generate or reconstruct normal samples when given arbitrary anomaly images. However, our study found that the diffusion model suffers from severe ``faithfulness hallucination'' and ``catastrophic forgetting'', which can't meet the unpredictable pattern increments. To mitigate the above problems, we propose a continual diffusion model that uses gradient projection to achieve stable continual learning. Gradient projection deploys a regularization on the model updating by modifying the gradient towards the direction protecting the learned knowledge. But as a double-edged sword, it also requires huge memory costs brought by the Markov process. Hence, we propose an iterative singular value decomposition method based on the transitive property of linear representation, which consumes tiny memory and incurs almost no performance loss. Finally, considering the risk of ``over-fitting'' to normal images of the diffusion model, we propose an anomaly-masked network to enhance the condition mechanism of the diffusion model. For continual anomaly detection, ours achieves first place in 17/18 settings on MVTec and VisA. Code is available at https://github.com/FuNz-0/One-for-More

CLIP-FSAC++: Few-Shot Anomaly Classification with Anomaly Descriptor Based on CLIP

Industrial anomaly classification (AC) is an indispensable task in industrial manufacturing, which guarantees quality and safety of various product. To address the scarcity of data in industrial scenarios, lots of few-shot anomaly detection methods emerge recently. In this paper, we propose an effective few-shot anomaly classification (FSAC) framework with one-stage training, dubbed CLIP-FSAC++. Specifically, we introduce a cross-modality interaction module named Anomaly Descriptor following image and text encoders, which enhances the correlation of visual and text embeddings and adapts the representations of CLIP from pre-trained data to target data. In anomaly descriptor, image-to-text cross-attention module is used to obtain image-specific text embeddings and text-to-image cross-attention module is used to obtain text-specific visual embeddings. Then these modality-specific embeddings are used to enhance original representations of CLIP for better matching ability. Comprehensive experiment results are provided for evaluating our method in few-normal shot anomaly classification on VisA and MVTEC-AD for 1, 2, 4 and 8-shot settings.

Fusion-then-Distillation: Toward Cross-modal Positive Distillation for Domain Adaptive 3D Semantic Segmentation

In cross-modal unsupervised domain adaptation, a model trained on source-domain data (e.g., synthetic) is adapted to target-domain data (e.g., real-world) without access to target annotation. Previous methods seek to mutually mimic cross-modal outputs in each domain, which enforces a class probability distribution that is agreeable in different domains. However, they overlook the complementarity brought by the heterogeneous fusion in cross-modal learning. In light of this, we propose a novel fusion-then-distillation (FtD++) method to explore cross-modal positive distillation of the source and target domains for 3D semantic segmentation. FtD++ realizes distribution consistency between outputs not only for 2D images and 3D point clouds but also for source-domain and augment-domain. Specially, our method contains three key ingredients. First, we present a model-agnostic feature fusion module to generate the cross-modal fusion representation for establishing a latent space. In this space, two modalities are enforced maximum correlation and complementarity. Second, the proposed cross-modal positive distillation preserves the complete information of multi-modal input and combines the semantic content of the source domain with the style of the target domain, thereby achieving domain-modality alignment. Finally, cross-modal debiased pseudo-labeling is devised to model the uncertainty of pseudo-labels via a self-training manner. Extensive experiments report state-of-the-art results on several domain adaptive scenarios under unsupervised and semi-supervised settings.

Large Continual Instruction Assistant

Continual Instruction Tuning (CIT) is adopted to continually instruct Large Models to follow human intent data by data. It is observed that existing gradient update would heavily destroy the performance on previous datasets during CIT process. Instead, Exponential Moving Average (EMA), owns the ability to trace previous parameters, which can aid in decreasing forgetting. Nonetheless, its stable balance weight fails to deal with the ever-changing datasets, leading to the out-of-balance between plasticity and stability. In this paper, we propose a general continual instruction tuning framework to address the challenge. Starting from the trade-off prerequisite and EMA update, we propose the plasticity and stability ideal condition. Based on Taylor expansion in the loss function, we find the optimal balance weight can be automatically determined by the gradients and learned parameters. Therefore, we propose a stable-plasticity balanced coefficient to avoid knowledge interference. Based on the semantic similarity of the instructions, we can determine whether to retrain or expand the training parameters and allocate the most suitable parameters for the testing instances. Extensive experiments across multiple continual instruction tuning benchmarks demonstrate that our approach not only enhances anti-forgetting capabilities but also significantly improves overall continual tuning performance.

Data-free Distillation with Degradation-prompt Diffusion for Multi-weather Image Restoration

Multi-weather image restoration has witnessed incredible progress, while the increasing model capacity and expensive data acquisition impair its applications in memory-limited devices. Data-free distillation provides an alternative for allowing to learn a lightweight student model from a pre-trained teacher model without relying on the original training data. The existing data-free learning methods mainly optimize the models with the pseudo data generated by GANs or the real data collected from the Internet. However, they inevitably suffer from the problems of unstable training or domain shifts with the original data. In this paper, we propose a novel Data-free Distillation with Degradation-prompt Diffusion framework for multi-weather Image Restoration (D4IR). It replaces GANs with pre-trained diffusion models to avoid model collapse and incorporates a degradation-aware prompt adapter to facilitate content-driven conditional diffusion for generating domain-related images. Specifically, a contrast-based degradation prompt adapter is firstly designed to capture degradation-aware prompts from web-collected degraded images. Then, the collected unpaired clean images are perturbed to latent features of stable diffusion, and conditioned with the degradation-aware prompts to synthesize new domain-related degraded images for knowledge distillation. Experiments illustrate that our proposal achieves comparable performance to the model distilled with original training data, and is even superior to other mainstream unsupervised methods.
