Speech-LLMs often exhibit prompt overfitting, where models solely trained on automatic speech recognition (ASR) instruction fail to generalize to new instructions such as speech translation and continue to behave primarily as ASR system. We propose DirectSpeech2LLM, a simple end-to-end framework that preserves the inst …
Nutrition estimation is a fundamental task in consumer diet tracking, clinical dietetics, chronic disease management, sports and hospital nutrition, and broader food computing systems. The existing approaches have progressed along two largely separate axes, vision models that rely on calibrated RGB-depth captures and i …
Sparse video understanding often requires selecting a small set of visual evidence under a fixed frame budget. Most sparse selectors allocate this budget globally, allowing all frames to compete with one another. For temporally localized events, this can be a poor inductive bias: useful evidence is often distributed ac …
