ChartLens: A Dual-Branch Framework for Chart Data Correction and Factual Summary Refinement

In this report, we present our champion solution for the DataMFM Challenge Track 2: Chart Understanding. This track requires models to recover structured chart data and generate faithful natural-language summaries from chart images. To address the complementary requirements of accurate data extraction and factual narration, we propose ChartLens, a dual-branch framework for chart data correction and summary refinement. ChartLens consists of two key modules: Structure-Aware CSV Verification and Correction (SAVC) and Text-Retention-Guided Summary Refinement (TRSR). SAVC improves the reliability of structured data extraction through verification and correction, while TRSR enhances summary generation by preserving critical textual and numerical evidence from charts. By combining model adaptation, correction-based generation, and OCR-assisted evidence grounding, ChartLens improves both structured data recovery and summary factuality. On the test set, our final system achieves an overall score of 69.10 and ranks first in Track 2, demonstrating its effectiveness for accurate chart understanding. Our code will be released at: https://github.com/iLearn-Lab/CVPRW26-ChartLens.

Beyond Waypoints: A Trajectory-Centric Waypointing Paradigm for Vision-Language Navigation

Vision-Language Navigation in Continuous Environments (VLN-CE) requires agents to follow natural-language instructions while navigating in real-world-like environments. Most VLN-CE approach\-es adopt a three-stage framework: a waypoint predictor proposes navigable waypoints, and a navigator selects the best waypoint, with a low-level controller executing the movement to it. However, this decoupled paradigm often leads to unreachable waypoints or inconsistencies between planning and control. In this work, instead of predicting isolated waypoints, we introduce a novel paradigm called Trajectory Waypoint, which grounds each candidate waypoint in an executable trajectory. To realize this, we design a Trajectory Waypoint Predictor formulated as a TSDF-guided diffusion policy, which steers trajectory generation away from obstacles, inherently ensuring the reachability of the predicted waypoints. We further propose a trajectory-enhanced navigator that injects the associated trajectory as additional information for planning, enabling strict consistency between high-level semantic decisions and low-level execution. Extensive experiments on the VLN-CE benchmark show that our Trajectory Waypoint paradigm achieves superior performance over the baselines.

COMBINER: Composed Image Retrieval Guided by Attribute-based Neighbor Relations

Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) represents a challenging retrieval task that targets locating specific images through multimodal inputs. Despite recent progress in CIR techniques, prior approaches often overlook cases where images appear visually alike yet differ in attributes, potentially undermining both multimodal feature fusion and similarity modeling. To mitigate this limitation, we design a unified representation of cross-modal features based on attribute prototypes. Nevertheless, the task is far from straightforward, owing to three core issues: (1) entanglement in attribute-level semantics, (2) inconsistency across modalities, and (3) supervised signal missing. To tackle the above obstacles, we introduce a COMposed image retrieval network guided By attrIbute-based NEighbor Relations (COMBINER). Specifically, we first design an Adaptive Semantic Disentanglement module, which is capable of disentangling attribute features based on multimodal primitive features. Secondly, we propose a Unified Prototype-based Composition module, which can construct cross-modal unified prototypes (CUP) and facilitate multimodal feature composition. Finally, we introduce a Dual Relations Modeling module, which can mine pairwise and neighbor relations based on attribute similarity. Compared to traditional neighbor relations modeling CIR methods, COMBINER represents the first study addressing the phenomenon of visually similar but attribute-unrelated samples. It achieves a more accurate understanding of the semantic relations among samples by employing an attribute prototype-based similarity metric. Comprehensive experiments conducted on three benchmark datasets confirm the effectiveness of our proposed COMBINER. The implementation of our method will be accessed at https://github.com/Lee-zixu/COMBINER

R^3: Composed Video Retrieval via Reasoning-Guided Recalling and Re-ranking

The CoVR-R challenge evaluates composed video retrieval, where a system must retrieve a target video from a large gallery given a reference video and a textual edit instruction. This setting is not a standard video-text retrieval problem: the query is defined by both the visual evidence in the source video and the transformation implied by the edit. A strong embedding model can provide scalable candidate recall, but it may under-express target-side consequences such as state changes, action replacement, object preservation, or temporal consistency. A pairwise multimodal reranker can verify such details more directly, but exhaustive reranking over the full gallery is computationally infeasible. We present $\mathbb{R}^3$, a zero-shot composed video retrieval pipeline built around Reasoning-guided Recalling and Reranking. The core idea is to turn the source-edit query into a reasoning-grounded retrieval program rather than treating the edit text as a short caption. First, the model generates a reasoning trace that describes the expected target video after applying the edit. Then the trace is encoded together with the source video as a reasoning-augmented query, and its retrieval score is fused with the base composed query through an agreement-gated residual rule. At last, a re-ranker verifies the recalled candidates with direct source-candidate comparison. Experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of our method in addressing this challenge.

OmniEgo-R$^2$: A Routed Reasoning Framework for the 1st Cross-Domain EgoCross Challenge at CVPR 2026

The 1st Cross-Domain EgoCross Challenge at EgoVis, CVPR 2026 evaluates whether multimodal large language models can reason over egocentric videos across surgery, industry, extreme sports, and animal perspective. We achieved second place in both the Source-Limited and Open-Source tracks. In this report, we formulate EgoCross as a robust cross-domain embodied video reasoning problem rather than a simple multiple-choice visual question answering task. We identify three key challenges: (C1) temporal boundary ambiguity, where critical state transitions are sparsely sampled and often occur between frames; (C2) cross-domain semantic granularity mismatch, where the same capability requires different domain-specific visual grammar; and (C3) decision instability under close options, where long multimodal reasoning can select unsupported distractors or produce malformed outputs. To address them, we propose OmniEgo-R$^2$ (Omnidomain Egocentric Routed Reasoning), a unified routed reasoning pipeline consisting of temporal-evidence normalization, domain-agnostic capability routing, structured perception--dynamics--decision reasoning, boundary-aware option verification, and defensive answer calibration. OmniEgo-R$^2$ uses the Qwen3-VL-4B-SFT checkpoints on each EgoCross domain as the visual-language backbone, and wraps them with lightweight test-time reasoning and parsing programs. Our final submissions obtain 66.35% overall accuracy in the Source-Limited track and 66.77% in the Open-Source track, ranking second in both leaderboards. The codes are available on https://github.com/Lee-zixu/OmniEgo-R2

EgoAction: Egocentric Action Composition with Reliability-Aware Temporal Fusion for the EPIC-KITCHENS Action Detection Challenge at CVPR 2026

The EPIC-KITCHENS-100 Action Detection challenge evaluates whether a model can localize the start and end of each action in long untrimmed egocentric videos and assign the corresponding verb--noun action label. In this report, we formulate our submission as EgoAction (Egocentric Action Composition with Reliability-Aware Temporal Fusion), a unified decoupled detection and fusion pipeline. The pipeline uses EPIC-finetuned VideoMAE-L features, trains separate noun and verb temporal detectors with causal temporal modeling, composes action hypotheses from top noun--verb pairs, and introduces a confidence-adaptive boundary fusion rule at post-processing time. The key observation is that verb and noun streams often fail differently: verb scores are sensitive to motion transitions, whereas noun scores are sensitive to hand-object visibility and object clutter. A fixed arithmetic mean of their predicted boundaries can therefore amplify localization errors when one stream degenerates. We replace this hard-coded mean with Dynamic Weighted Fusion (DWF), which normalizes the maximum noun and verb classification confidences into proposal-wise boundary weights and linearly combines the two intervals. This lightweight tensor-only operator shifts boundary authority toward the more reliable stream while preserving the decoupled action scoring mechanism. Together with sliding-window inference, top-K noun--verb action composition, and class-wise Soft-NMS, EgoAction provides a compact and reproducible system for egocentric temporal action detection.

EgoAdapt: A Multi-Scene Egocentric Adaptation Method for CVPR 2026 HD-EPIC VQA Challenge

This technical report presents our solution, EgoAdapt (Egocentric Adaptation via Category, Calibration, and Consistency), to the CVPR 2026 HD-EPIC VQA challenge. HD-EPIC evaluates whether a vision-language model can reason over realistic first-person kitchen videos, where the evidence for an answer may be a short hand-object interaction, a long recipe trajectory, a spatial relation to a fixture, or a subtle gaze cue. The benchmark contains 26K multiple-choice questions across seven macro-categories: recipe, ingredient, nutrition, fine-grained action, 3D perception, object motion, and gaze. We observe that the main difficulty is not only model capacity, but also the mismatch between a single generic inference recipe and the heterogeneous temporal, spatial, and semantic structure of the benchmark. Our method, EgoAdapt, introduces three inference-time components: (1) category-conditioned routing with per-category prompts, frame budgets, and sampling rates; (2) calibrated option scoring that evaluates all candidate answers with letter-token likelihoods and generation agreement instead of relying only on direct generation; and (3) test-time consistency adaptation that aggregates predictions across option permutations and verification-style prompts for ambiguous cases. This design substantially improves over the available HD-EPIC baselines.

TempRet: Temporal Enhancement and Two-Stage Reranking for CVPR 2026 EPIC-KITCHENS-100 Multi-Instance Retrieval Challenge

Video-text retrieval has witnessed remarkable progress driven by large-scale vision-language pretraining, yet most existing approaches inherit an implicit assumption from image-text retrieval: that visual semantics can be captured frame-by-frame. This assumption overlooks the temporal dynamics of egocentric videos. The EPIC-KITCHENS-100 Multi-Instance Retrieval (MIR) challenge further raises the bar by providing soft-label relevance matrices rather than binary labels, demanding models that can resolve graded semantic correspondences across modalities. In this report, we present our solution, termed TempRet, to the CVPR 2026 EPIC-KITCHENS-100 MIR challenge. Our approach builds upon a CLIP-based dual-encoder backbone and introduces two key components to address the temporal and cross-modal challenges. First, a temporal transformer operates exclusively on the video side, modeling inter-frame dependencies through learnable positional encodings and multi-head self-attention over frame-level CLIP features. Second, a two-stage reranking pipeline first retrieves Top-K candidates via the dual-encoder, then refines their scores using a cross-encoder equipped with an Image-Text Matching (ITM) head. The entire system is trained with Symmetric Multi-Similarity Loss to exploit the soft-label relevance matrices provided by the challenge. Our method achieves 67.97% average mAP and 82.92% average nDCG on the EK-100 MIR benchmark, demonstrating the effectiveness of temporal modeling and cross-modal refinement for egocentric video retrieval.

From Abstraction to Instantiation: Learning Behavioral Representation for Vision-Language-Action Model

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models often suffer from performance degradation under distribution shifts, as they struggle to learn generalized behavior representations across varying environments. While existing approaches attempt to construct behavior representations through action-centric latent variables, they are often limited by short-horizon temporal fragmentation and static execution-alignment, leading to inconsistent behaviors in complex scenarios. To address these limitations, we propose \textbf{BehaviorVLA}, a framework that facilitates robust manipulation through the learning of a temporally coherent behavioral representations. Our approach features two symmetric components: (1) the \textbf{Visuomotor Behavior Encoder (VBE)}, which utilizes a causal Mamba-based architecture to aggregate long-horizon trajectory information into a unified behavior representation; and (2) the \textbf{Phase-conditioned Behavior Decoder (PBD)}, which decodes this representation into precise actions by dynamically aligning task-level priors with real-time execution progress. Experiments on RoboTwin 2.0, LIBERO, and CALVIN demonstrate state-of-the-art success rates of 58\%, 98\%, and 4.36 (Avg.Len), respectively. Notably, in real-world sim-to-real transfer, BehaviorVLA matches the performance of OpenVLA-OFT using only 50\% of the demonstration data, showcasing its superior data efficiency and generalization.

JFAA: Technical Report for the EPIC-KITCHENS-100 Action Anticipation Challenge at EgoVis 2026

We propose JFAA, a JEPA-based Future Action Anticipation method for the EPIC-KITCHENS-100 (EK-100) Action Anticipation task. Inspired by the representation learning and future prediction ability of V-JEPA 2.1, JFAA uses a frozen encoder and predictor to extract observed context features and near-future latent tokens. A lightweight attentive probe is then trained to predict verb, noun, and action logits with separate task queries. To improve robustness, we further build a field-aware ensemble over selected epoch-level predictions, allowing each output field to benefit from its most reliable candidates. Experimental results on the official challenge server show that JFAA achieves first place in the EgoVis 2026 EK-100 Action Anticipation Challenge. Our code will be released at https://github.com/CorrineQiu/JFAA.
