Text-based person retrieval faces a critical but under-explored challenge: the inherent uncertainty of query granularity in real-world scenarios. This paper introduces a new paradigm, Text-based Person Retrieval with Any Granularity, and provides a systematic solution. First, we…
Translating novels into films poses a grand challenge for generative artificial intelligence, requiring conversion of abstract literary prose into long-form, multi-scene visual narratives. While current video generation models excel at short, single-scene clips within narrow temp…
Approximately 3,000 of the 4,500 oracle bone script (OBS) characters remain undeciphered due to fragmentary inscriptions and sparse evidence. Current AI approaches fail to replicate expert workflows that integrate form analysis, contextual semantics, and philological reasoning. W…
Mainstream visual encoders are pretrained on natural images and cannot be effectively applied to document images without document-oriented adaptation, as dense text and fine-grained character strokes demand character-level visual perception. We present MonkeyOCRv2, a visual-text…
Estimating 3D geometry in underwater environments presents unique challenges due to light attenuation, scattering, and the absence of large-scale, high-quality 3D annotations. Pioneering methods rely on massive dense annotations that are impractical in underwater settings. In thi…
Current Unified Large Multimodal Models (ULMMs) support interleaved multimodal reasoning through textual reasoning and intermediate visual states, but typically generate each visual state as a full image. This full-image generation paradigm introduces substantial visual-token red…
