From Modalities to Propositions: A Language-Centric Framework for Multimodal Intelligence

Nadine Chang, Maying Shen, Shizhe Diao, Jialiang Wang, Jingde Chen, Thomas Breuel, Pavlo Molchanov, Rafid Mahmood, Jose M. Alvarez

We propose a language representation for multimodal data in which any observation, whether image, video, or text, is expressed as a bag of atomic propositions, simple statements about the entities, actions, and relations in a scene. A global semantic codebook unifies these into a shared vocabulary of canonical atomic propositions, placing every modality and observation into one interpretable space that spans fine grained facts to high level concepts and composes into richer ones. This brings interpretability with reasoning, cross-modal understanding and retrieval, and compositionality that enables complex multimodal understanding, rich data curation and complex structured retrieval. We demonstrate the framework on autonomous driving and open-world data.

Multiplicity of Stable Attractors in Disordered Neural Models

Raffaele Marino, Roberto Livi, Antonio Politi

We show how large-deviation statistics allows one to obtain reliable estimates of the multiplicity of stable fixed-points in a model of neural ordinary differential equations previously employed in computational tasks. The result is obtained by developing a suitable perturbative…

JustDepth: Real-Time Radar-Camera Depth Estimation with Single-Scan LiDAR Supervision

Wooyung Yun, Dongwook Kim, Soomok Lee

Accurate yet low-latency depth is essential for radar-camera perception in autonomous systems. Cameras provide rich appearance but lack metric scale, whereas automotive radar offers metric range but is sparse and noisy. Many pipelines are multi-stage or depend on auxiliary annota…
