CrossTimeEdit: A Decade-Spanning Cross-View Dataset and Reward-Guided Editing for Historical Street-View Generation

Hanwen Lu, Jun He, Mingjia Yang et al. · 2026

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 …

LIFT: Layout-In-Future Video Generation under Large Viewpoint Change via On-Policy Self-Distillation

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 …

Affordance-Conditioned Decision Making: Bridging the Semantic-Spatial Gap in Zero-Shot Cross-Floor Vision-and-Language Navigation

Xuekang Yang, Lu Chen, Shuang Luo et al. · 2026

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 …

What Can a Leaderboard Certify? Compositional Controllability for Fair Evaluation and Training of Biomedical Literature-Review Agents

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 …
