Abstract:Addressing the challenges of fragmented task definitions and the heterogeneity of unstructured data in multimodal parsing, this paper proposes the Omni Parsing framework. This framework establishes a Unified Taxonomy covering documents, images, and audio-visual streams, introducing a progressive parsing paradigm that bridges perception and cognition. Specifically, the framework integrates three hierarchical levels: 1) Holistic Detection, which achieves precise spatial-temporal grounding of objects or events to establish a geometric baseline for perception; 2) Fine-grained Recognition, which performs symbolization (e.g., OCR/ASR) and attribute extraction on localized objects to complete structured entity parsing; and 3) Multi-level Interpreting, which constructs a reasoning chain from local semantics to global logic. A pivotal advantage of this framework is its evidence anchoring mechanism, which enforces a strict alignment between high-level semantic descriptions and low-level facts. This enables ``evidence-based'' logical induction, transforming unstructured signals into standardized knowledge that is locatable, enumerable, and traceable. Building on this foundation, we constructed a standardized dataset and released the Logics-Parsing-Omni model, which successfully converts complex audio-visual signals into machine-readable structured knowledge. Experiments demonstrate that fine-grained perception and high-level cognition are synergistic, effectively enhancing model reliability. Furthermore, to quantitatively evaluate these capabilities, we introduce OmniParsingBench. Code, models and the benchmark are released at https://github.com/alibaba/Logics-Parsing/tree/master/Logics-Parsing-Omni.
Abstract:When MLLMs fail at Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) visual reasoning, a fundamental question arises: is it due to perceptual deficiencies or reasoning limitations? Through systematic scaling analysis that independently scales perception and reasoning components, we uncover a critical insight: scaling perception consistently outperforms scaling reasoning. This reveals perception as the true lever limiting current STEM visual reasoning. Motivated by this insight, our work focuses on systematically enhancing the perception capabilities of MLLMs by establishing code as a powerful perceptual medium--executable code provides precise semantics that naturally align with the structured nature of STEM visuals. Specifically, we construct ICC-1M, a large-scale dataset comprising 1M Image-Caption-Code triplets that materializes this code-as-perception paradigm through two complementary approaches: (1) Code-Grounded Caption Generation treats executable code as ground truth for image captions, eliminating the hallucinations inherent in existing knowledge distillation methods; (2) STEM Image-to-Code Translation prompts models to generate reconstruction code, mitigating the ambiguity of natural language for perception enhancement. To validate this paradigm, we further introduce STEM2Code-Eval, a novel benchmark that directly evaluates visual perception in STEM domains. Unlike existing work relying on problem-solving accuracy as a proxy that only measures problem-relevant understanding, our benchmark requires comprehensive visual comprehension through executable code generation for image reconstruction, providing deterministic and verifiable assessment.

Abstract:Localizing objects and parts from natural language in 3D space is essential for robotics, AR, and embodied AI, yet existing methods face a trade-off between the accuracy and geometric consistency of per-scene optimization and the efficiency of feed-forward inference. We present TrianguLang, a feed-forward framework for 3D localization that requires no camera calibration at inference. Unlike prior methods that treat views independently, we introduce Geometry-Aware Semantic Attention (GASA), which utilizes predicted geometry to gate cross-view feature correspondence, suppressing semantically plausible but geometrically inconsistent matches without requiring ground-truth poses. Validated on five benchmarks including ScanNet++ and uCO3D, TrianguLang achieves state-of-the-art feed-forward text-guided segmentation and localization, reducing user effort from $O(N)$ clicks to a single text query. The model processes each frame at 1008x1008 resolution in $\sim$57ms ($\sim$18 FPS) without optimization, enabling practical deployment for interactive robotics and AR applications.

Abstract:The cold-start initialization stage plays a pivotal role in training Multimodal Large Reasoning Models (MLRMs), yet its mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. To analyze this stage, we introduce the Visual Attention Score (VAS), an attention-based metric that quantifies how much a model attends to visual tokens. We find that reasoning performance is strongly correlated with VAS (r=0.9616): models with higher VAS achieve substantially stronger multimodal reasoning. Surprisingly, multimodal cold-start fails to elevate VAS, resulting in attention distributions close to the base model, whereas text-only cold-start leads to a clear increase. We term this counter-intuitive phenomenon Lazy Attention Localization. To validate its causal role, we design training-free interventions that directly modulate attention allocation during inference, performance gains of 1$-$2% without any retraining. Building on these insights, we further propose Attention-Guided Visual Anchoring and Reflection (AVAR), a comprehensive cold-start framework that integrates visual-anchored data synthesis, attention-guided objectives, and visual-anchored reward shaping. Applied to Qwen2.5-VL-7B, AVAR achieves an average gain of 7.0% across 7 multimodal reasoning benchmarks. Ablation studies further confirm that each component of AVAR contributes step-wise to the overall gains. The code, data, and models are available at https://github.com/lrlbbzl/Qwen-AVAR.
Abstract:Multi-modal collaborative perception calls for great attention to enhancing the safety of autonomous driving. However, current multi-modal approaches remain a ``local fusion to communication'' sequence, which fuses multi-modal data locally and needs high bandwidth to transmit an individual's feature data before collaborative fusion. EIMC innovatively proposes an early collaborative paradigm. It injects lightweight collaborative voxels, transmitted by neighbor agents, into the ego's local modality-fusion step, yielding compact yet informative 3D collaborative priors that tighten cross-modal alignment. Next, a heatmap-driven consensus protocol identifies exactly where cooperation is needed by computing per-pixel confidence heatmaps. Only the Top-K instance vectors located in these low-confidence, high-discrepancy regions are queried from peers, then fused via cross-attention for completion. Afterwards, we apply a refinement fusion that involves collecting the top-K most confident instances from each agent and enhancing their features using self-attention. The above instance-centric messaging reduces redundancy while guaranteeing that critical occluded objects are recovered. Evaluated on OPV2V and DAIR-V2X, EIMC attains 73.01\% AP@0.5 while reducing byte bandwidth usage by 87.98\% compared with the best published multi-modal collaborative detector.

Abstract:Incremental Object Detection (IOD) aims to continuously learn new object classes without forgetting previously learned ones. A persistent challenge is catastrophic forgetting, primarily attributed to background shift in conventional detectors. While pseudo-labeling mitigates this in dense detectors, we identify a novel, distinct source of forgetting specific to DETR-like architectures: background foregrounding. This arises from the exhaustiveness constraint of the Hungarian matcher, which forcibly assigns every ground truth target to one prediction, even when predictions primarily cover background regions (i.e., low IoU). This erroneous supervision compels the model to misclassify background features as specific foreground classes, disrupting learned representations and accelerating forgetting. To address this, we propose a Quality-guided Min-Cost Max-Flow (Q-MCMF) matcher. To avoid forced assignments, Q-MCMF builds a flow graph and prunes implausible matches based on geometric quality. It then optimizes for the final matching that minimizes cost and maximizes valid assignments. This strategy eliminates harmful supervision from background foregrounding while maximizing foreground learning signals. Extensive experiments on the COCO dataset under various incremental settings demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches.
Abstract:Generative recommendation has recently attracted widespread attention in industry due to its potential for scaling and stronger model capacity. However, deploying real-time generative recommendation in large-scale advertising requires designs beyond large-language-model (LLM)-style training and serving recipes. We present a production-oriented generative recommender co-designed across architecture, learning, and serving, named GR4AD (Generative Recommendation for ADdvertising). As for tokenization, GR4AD proposes UA-SID (Unified Advertisement Semantic ID) to capture complicated business information. Furthermore, GR4AD introduces LazyAR, a lazy autoregressive decoder that relaxes layer-wise dependencies for short, multi-candidate generation, preserving effectiveness while reducing inference cost, which facilitates scaling under fixed serving budgets. To align optimization with business value, GR4AD employs VSL (Value-Aware Supervised Learning) and proposes RSPO (Ranking-Guided Softmax Preference Optimization), a ranking-aware, list-wise reinforcement learning algorithm that optimizes value-based rewards under list-level metrics for continual online updates. For online inference, we further propose dynamic beam serving, which adapts beam width across generation levels and online load to control compute. Large-scale online A/B tests show up to 4.2% ad revenue improvement over an existing DLRM-based stack, with consistent gains from both model scaling and inference-time scaling. GR4AD has been fully deployed in Kuaishou advertising system with over 400 million users and achieves high-throughput real-time serving.
Abstract:Single-image super-resolution (SR) has achieved remarkable progress with deep learning, yet most approaches rely on distortion-oriented losses or heuristic perceptual priors, which often lead to a trade-off between fidelity and visual quality. To address this issue, we propose an \textit{Efficient Perceptual Bi-directional Attention Network (Efficient-PBAN)} that explicitly optimizes SR towards human-preferred quality. Unlike patch-based quality models, Efficient-PBAN avoids extensive patch sampling and enables efficient image-level perception. The proposed framework is trained on our self-constructed SR quality dataset that covers a wide range of state-of-the-art SR methods with corresponding human opinion scores. Using this dataset, Efficient-PBAN learns to predict perceptual quality in a way that correlates strongly with subjective judgments. The learned metric is further integrated into SR training as a differentiable perceptual loss, enabling closed-loop alignment between reconstruction and perceptual assessment. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach delivers superior perceptual quality. Code is publicly available at https://github.com/Lighting-YXLI/Efficient-PBAN.
Abstract:Open-world object detection (OWOD) requires incrementally detecting known categories while reliably identifying unknown objects. Existing methods primarily focus on improving unknown recall, yet overlook interpretability, often leading to known-unknown confusion and reduced prediction reliability. This paper aims to make the entire OWOD framework interpretable, enabling the detector to truly "knowing the unknown". To this end, we propose a concept-driven InterPretable OWOD framework(IPOW) by introducing a Concept Decomposition Model (CDM) for OWOD, which explicitly decomposes the coupled RoI features in Faster R-CNN into discriminative, shared, and background concepts. Discriminative concepts identify the most discriminative features to enlarge the distances between known categories, while shared and background concepts, due to their strong generalization ability, can be readily transferred to detect unknown categories. Leveraging the interpretable framework, we identify that known-unknown confusion arises when unknown objects fall into the discriminative space of known classes. To address this, we propose Concept-Guided Rectification (CGR) to further resolve such confusion. Extensive experiments show that IPOW significantly improves unknown recall while mitigating confusion, and provides concept-level interpretability for both known and unknown predictions.
Abstract:Modeling multiscale patterns is crucial for long-term time series forecasting (TSF). However, redundancy and noise in time series, together with semantic gaps between non-adjacent scales, make the efficient alignment and integration of multi-scale temporal dependencies challenging. To address this, we propose SEMixer, a lightweight multiscale model designed for long-term TSF. SEMixer features two key components: a Random Attention Mechanism (RAM) and a Multiscale Progressive Mixing Chain (MPMC). RAM captures diverse time-patch interactions during training and aggregates them via dropout ensemble at inference, enhancing patch-level semantics and enabling MLP-Mixer to better model multi-scale dependencies. MPMC further stacks RAM and MLP-Mixer in a memory-efficient manner, achieving more effective temporal mixing. It addresses semantic gaps across scales and facilitates better multiscale modeling and forecasting performance. We not only validate the effectiveness of SEMixer on 10 public datasets, but also on the \textit{2025 CCF AlOps Challenge} based on 21GB real wireless network data, where SEMixer achieves third place.
