Preference over model-generated emotion descriptions is emerging as a standard evaluation metric for multimodal emotion understanding, exemplified by the MER2026 MER-Prefer track on EmoPrefer. Such benchmarks assume that predicting the preferred description requires grounded cros…
World Action Models (WAMs) are able to leverage pretrained video generators for both world modeling and action prediction. However, directly leveraging such video generators for control raises a new challenge: how to represent actions in a suitable form that aligns with pretraine…
Plasma disruption is a critical threat to tokamak safety. Existing data-driven predictors mainly rely on time-series diagnostic signals, while visible images provide complementary spatial cues including plasma deformation, local brightening, and radiation-structure evolution. Alt…
Existing smartphone image quality assessment (IQA) methods commonly reduce perceptual quality to a single score. However, this scalar formulation is poorly aligned with practical image signal processor (ISP) tuning, where engineers must identify specific quality issues, estimate…
Dense depth estimation for autonomous driving faces a geometry-scale conflict: depth foundation models deliver pixel-aligned dense visual geometry without reliable metric scale, while projected LiDAR provides metric anchors that are sparse, noisy, and misaligned with image struct…
Text-to-3D systems can now synthesize a model from a single sentence, yet the result is a shape to render, not a design to edit. We present Arko-T, a 4B-parameter text-to-design model that maps natural-language intent directly into executable, parametric CAD programs. Rather than…
World-action models have shown promising robot-manipulation performance by jointly predicting future visual states and actions. However, existing methods mainly rely on short-term history and short-horizon future prediction, which is insufficient for long-horizon tasks whose corr…
Recently, a few works have made early attempts to study test-time scaling for embodied tasks. However, two major challenges remain unsolved: (1) reasoning can effectively improve the performance of the policy, but its scaling mechanism has seldom been studied; (2) historical info…
