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…
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…
