Understanding large language model (LLM) reasoning requires looking beyond behavioral performance to examine how reasoning ability is reflected in internal organization. Inspired by neuroscience findings linking higher intelligence to stronger small-world organization in functional brain networks, we investigate small- …
We introduce QuadTok, a novel framework for visual tokenization and autoregressive image generation. Compared to traditional approaches using 2D grids or 1D token sequences, we propose a hierarchical quadtree structure, bridging the gap between 2D spatial binding and 1D sequence-level flexibility. The QuadTok tokenizer …
Layout-to-Image generation has made substantial progress in spatial and object-level control. However, existing methods still struggle with complex scenes containing many overlapping and interacting objects. We argue that training data is a particular bottleneck: existing datasets lack examples with dense, complex obje …
As coding agents take on long-horizon software evolution tasks spanning multiple files and stages, longer execution trajectories introduce two coupled challenges: (1) accumulated histories strain context budgets, and (2) repository changes can invalidate earlier execution evidence. Existing approaches address these cha …
Mainstream large language models rely on a tokenizer to encode text into a token sequence. Different tokenizers may yield token sequences of substantially different lengths for the same text. With a fixed model architecture, shorter token sequences correspond to lower inference time. We propose a tokenizer training app …
Historical street-view imagery records urban evolution, but uneven coverage leaves substantial gaps in historical records. Generating plausible past appearances requires restoring changed structures while preserving persistent scene content. We construct VIGOR-his, a decade-spanning cross-view dataset containing 43,653 …
We introduce LIFT, a unified image-to-video generation framework that complements camera control with Layout-In-FuTure control, enabling users to specify what should appear in a future view and where it should appear. This addresses a practical need in controllable video generation: given an initial image, users often …
Vision-and-language navigation increasingly relies on general-purpose semantic planners, yet translating correct high-level intent into reliable physical execution remains difficult in spatially constrained transitions. Reaching a staircase, doorway, or narrow passage does not ensure traversal; the agent must identify …
Leaderboards rank long-horizon agents by their final outputs. Yet a higher score alone does not establish whether two systems are comparable or which stage accounts for the difference. Unequal evidence, inputs, or budgets can affect scores, and statistical corrections do not remove this mismatch. We introduce compositi …
