Uncovering and Mitigating Positional Blind Spots in Vision-Language-Action Models

Recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models achieve promising performance in robotic manipulation, typically measured by success rates aggregated over predefined object configurations, an evaluation that implicitly assumes spatially uniform competence across the workspace. However, this assumption does not hold: even with the instruction and every other scene factor held fixed, merely relocating a task-irrelevant distractor can sharply raise the failure probability within localized, spatially coherent regions, which we term Positional Blind Spots (PBS). In this paper, we propose a two-stage black-box framework to uncover and mitigate PBS. During the uncovering stage, we grid the workspace and apply a one-sided log-likelihood-ratio test to localize PBS cells with significantly elevated risk. During the mitigation stage, we fine-tune the policy via LoRA on demonstrations collected from these PBS regions, improving competence there while largely preserving performance across the rest of the workspace. We evaluate our framework on five state-of-the-art VLA policies across two benchmarks, and find that PBS are pervasive and spatially concentrated in all of them, with failure rates up to 0.58. Our search strategy achieves an average F1-score of 0.678, outperforming random search and adaptive sampling baselines by 0.268 and 0.178, respectively. Guided by the discovered regions, targeted fine-tuning reduces the overall failure rate by 40.00%--85.19%.

CameraAnything: Refilming Videos with Arbitrary Camera Control

We introduce CameraAnything, the first unified framework for camera controlled video editing that enables joint control of both intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters. Existing approaches either rely on expensive 3D reconstruction to achieve full camera functionality or restrict editing to extrinsic parameter manipulation. Moreover, the coupled influence of intrinsic and extrinsic parameters on video appearance makes disentangled modeling particularly challenging. To address this, we adopt per-pixel Plücker ray injection alongside resolution-aware 3D RoPE in self-attention, building both camera conditioning and spatial positional encoding on the target latent to jointly control camera position, focal length, and native resolution editing without cropping or outpainting. To overcome the scarcity of paired training data, we further develop a scalable synthetic pipeline that constructs diverse dynamic scenes through structured multi-camera recording and generates synchronized videos with varied camera configurations. With a tailored orthogonal training strategy, CameraAnything enables expressive video reshooting with arbitrary viewpoint control, focal length adjustment, resolution adaptation, and multi-shot transitions within a single generation process, offering strong practical value for cinematic video editing and cross-platform content adaptation in video production.

Large Language Models Do Not Always Need Readable Language

Large language models (LLMs) are commonly prompted and interfaced with human-readable natural language, even when the intended reader is another model. This paper investigates whether semantic information can be encoded in compact, non-standard textual forms that sacrifice human readability while remaining recoverable by LLMs. We refer to this class of model-centric textual representations as BabelTele, approached here not as a fixed protocol but as an empirical probe into LLMs' capacity to generate and interpret such representations. Through readability diagnostics, model likelihood measures, human questionnaires, and downstream task evaluations, we find that BabelTele can substantially depart from ordinary natural language while preserving core semantics for instruction-tuned LLMs. As a task-agnostic representational paradigm, BabelTele demonstrates high information density, maintaining 99.5% semantic fidelity even when the text volume is condensed to 27.9% of its original length. We further evaluate its semantic robustness in cross-model transfer, agent memory, and multi-agent communication. Results suggest that BabelTele can reduce context overhead while generally maintaining reliable downstream performance, although its effectiveness depends on the compressor-reader pair and task setting. These findings indicate that human readability, natural-language typicality, and model-side semantic recoverability can be partially decoupled, opening a path toward model-native representations in future exploration of LLM systems.

DataMagic: Transforming Tabular Data into Data Insight Video

Data videos integrate dynamic charts, voice narration, and synchronized animations to communicate data insights as temporal narratives, making them an effective medium for improving data consumption efficiency in the data management lifecycle. However, producing high-quality data videos requires expertise spanning data analysis, narrative design, and video production. Existing approaches fall short: static visualization tools (e.g., BI dashboards) lack narrative logic and animation; authoring tools require users to pre-prepare visualizations rather than working from raw data; pixel-level video generation models cannot guarantee data fidelity or provenance. We demonstrate DataMagic, an end-to-end interactive system that transforms raw tabular data and natural language queries into narrative data-insight videos. To ensure data fidelity, DataMagic introduces the declarative specification DVSpec, which binds visual and animation elements to underlying data fields through data-driven semantic references. To address the combinatorial explosion of the design space, DataMagic adopts a Generate-then-Orchestrate multi-agent architecture that generates candidate scenes in parallel and then optimizes narrative coherence through global orchestration. Leveraging DVSpec's decoupling of logic and rendering, the system further supports three interaction modes and structured provenance-based data Q&A, transforming one-way videos into explorable interactive data interfaces. Evaluation on 109 real-world samples validates the effectiveness of the DataMagic. Homepage: https://datamagic-home.github.io/

Cross-Modal Clinical Knowledge Integration for Mammography Report Generation

Breast cancer is a major global health concern, and mammography screening plays a central role in early detection. The large volume of screening examinations creates a substantial workload for radiologists, making accurate and consistent report generation a critical clinical challenge. Existing automated mammography report generation methods primarily focus on direct visual-to-text mapping, while overlooking the structured clinical reasoning process followed by radiologists in real-world practice. To address this limitation, we propose MammoRG, a mammography report generation framework that explicitly simulates the clinical reporting workflow by following the BI-RADS guideline and incorporating prior clinical knowledge to produce diagnostic reports. Specifically, MammoRG adopts a two-stage training framework. In the first stage, the model learns to integrate clinically relevant prior knowledge from a patient's four-view mammograms through classification-based supervision. In the second stage, a terminology-aware supervised fine-tuning strategy is introduced to model mammography-specific clinical terms as atomic semantic units, enabling the generation of high-quality reports with improved clinical consistency. To facilitate clinical efficacy evaluation of generated reports, we further develop MammoRGTool, a dedicated mammography report parsing tool that extracts structured clinical information from free-text reports. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MammoRG consistently outperforms existing methods across multiple clinical efficacy metrics, particularly in diagnosis-related BI-RADS F1, where it surpasses the second-best model by 2.73%, 2.04%, 1.90%, and 3.27% on the internal, external 1, external 2, and VinDr-Mammo datasets, respectively.

StreamMeCo: Long-Term Agent Memory Compression for Efficient Streaming Video Understanding

Vision agent memory has shown remarkable effectiveness in streaming video understanding. However, storing such memory for videos incurs substantial memory overhead, leading to high costs in both storage and computation. To address this issue, we propose StreamMeCo, an efficient Stream Agent Memory Compression framework. Specifically, based on the connectivity of the memory graph, StreamMeCo introduces edge-free minmax sampling for the isolated nodes and an edge-aware weight pruning for connected nodes, evicting the redundant memory nodes while maintaining the accuracy. In addition, we introduce a time-decay memory retrieval mechanism to further eliminate the performance degradation caused by memory compression. Extensive experiments on three challenging benchmark datasets (M3-Bench-robot, M3-Bench-web and Video-MME-Long) demonstrate that under 70% memory graph compression, StreamMeCo achieves a 1.87* speedup in memory retrieval while delivering an average accuracy improvement of 1.0%. Our code is available at https://github.com/Celina-love-sweet/StreamMeCo.

ShareVerse: Multi-Agent Consistent Video Generation for Shared World Modeling

This paper presents ShareVerse, a video generation framework enabling multi-agent shared world modeling, addressing the gap in existing works that lack support for unified shared world construction with multi-agent interaction. ShareVerse leverages the generation capability of large video models and integrates three key innovations: 1) A dataset for large-scale multi-agent interactive world modeling is built on the CARLA simulation platform, featuring diverse scenes, weather conditions, and interactive trajectories with paired multi-view videos (front/ rear/ left/ right views per agent) and camera data. 2) We propose a spatial concatenation strategy for four-view videos of independent agents to model a broader environment and to ensure internal multi-view geometric consistency. 3) We integrate cross-agent attention blocks into the pretrained video model, which enable interactive transmission of spatial-temporal information across agents, guaranteeing shared world consistency in overlapping regions and reasonable generation in non-overlapping regions. ShareVerse, which supports 49-frame large-scale video generation, accurately perceives the position of dynamic agents and achieves consistent shared world modeling.

Advancing Open-source World Models

We present LingBot-World, an open-sourced world simulator stemming from video generation. Positioned as a top-tier world model, LingBot-World offers the following features. (1) It maintains high fidelity and robust dynamics in a broad spectrum of environments, including realism, scientific contexts, cartoon styles, and beyond. (2) It enables a minute-level horizon while preserving contextual consistency over time, which is also known as "long-term memory". (3) It supports real-time interactivity, achieving a latency of under 1 second when producing 16 frames per second. We provide public access to the code and model in an effort to narrow the divide between open-source and closed-source technologies. We believe our release will empower the community with practical applications across areas like content creation, gaming, and robot learning.

Beyond Pixels: Semantic-aware Typographic Attack for Geo-Privacy Protection

Large Visual Language Models (LVLMs) now pose a serious yet overlooked privacy threat, as they can infer a social media user's geolocation directly from shared images, leading to unintended privacy leakage. While adversarial image perturbations provide a potential direction for geo-privacy protection, they require relatively strong distortions to be effective against LVLMs, which noticeably degrade visual quality and diminish an image's value for sharing. To overcome this limitation, we identify typographical attacks as a promising direction for protecting geo-privacy by adding text extension outside the visual content. We further investigate which textual semantics are effective in disrupting geolocation inference and design a two-stage, semantics-aware typographical attack that generates deceptive text to protect user privacy. Extensive experiments across three datasets demonstrate that our approach significantly reduces geolocation prediction accuracy of five state-of-the-art commercial LVLMs, establishing a practical and visually-preserving protection strategy against emerging geo-privacy threats.

Concept Guided Co-saliency Objection Detection

The task of co-saliency object detection (Co-SOD) seeks to identify common, salient objects across a collection of images by examining shared visual features. However, traditional Co-SOD methods often encounter limitations when faced with diverse object variations (e.g., different postures) and irrelevant background elements that introduce noise. To address these challenges, we propose ConceptCoSOD, a novel concept-guided approach that leverages text semantic information to enhance Co-SOD performance by guiding the model to focus on consistent object features. Through rethinking Co-SOD as an (image-text)-to-image task instead of an image-to-image task, ConceptCoSOD first captures shared semantic concepts within an image group and then uses them as guidance for precise object segmentation in complex scenarios. Experimental results on three benchmark datasets and six corruptions reveal that ConceptCoSOD significantly improves detection accuracy, especially in challenging settings with considerable background distractions and object variability.
