Actor as Its Own Critic: Unifying Region Understanding and Localization via CycleGRPO

Xin Zhang, Haochen Wang, Yikang Zhou, Jason Li, Robby T. Tan

This paper introduces Actor as Its Own Critic, a unified reinforcement learning framework, Cycle Group Relative Policy Optimization (CycleGRPO), that jointly optimizes region understanding and localization for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Unlike existing separate pip…

PixelEyes: Decoupling Perception and Reasoning for Pinpoint Visual Evidence Seeking

Dengxian Gong, Yuanzheng Wu, Haobo Yuan, Zhengdong Hu, Tao Zhang, Yikang Zhou, et al.

This paper explores multi-turn visual reasoning and observes that MLLMs repeatedly fail to localize the target, leading to long, redundant trajectories. We attribute this failure to the entanglement of reasoning and perception within a single model, the MLLM reasons and localizes…

MotionAtlas: Detailed Region Captioning for Motion-Centric Videos

Weisong Liu, Haochen Wang, Kuan Gao, Yuhao Wang, Yikang Zhou, Zhongwei Ren, et al.

We propose MotionAtlas, a system for detailed captioning of motion-centric videos, comprising (1) a dedicated human-annotated benchmark, (2) a scalable, high-quality pipeline to construct training samples, and (3) a family of powerful Video-MLLMs. Unlike conventional global motio…
