Foresight: planning future perception in streaming VLMs without retraining

Ashok Prasad Neupane, Dipan Bartaula, Ankit Belbase et al. · 2026

Existing streaming vision-language models (VLMs) continuously perceive and reason over visual streams, but their computational pathways remain fixed throughout inference. Consequently, they cannot adapt computation to evolving scene dynamics, where different future events demand different levels and forms of perception …

iADD: Improving Alignment and Diversity in Diffusion Policy Optimization

Ashok Prasad Neupane, Saugat Adhikari, Pramish Paudel et al. · 2026

Reinforcement learning based post training of diffusion models, such as Denoising Diffusion Policy Optimization (DDPO), optimizes a reverse diffusion process under a reward function. However, current approaches to reward optimizations do so at the cost of diversity and quality. In this paper, we provide better tradeoff …
