Spatial Latent Reasoning for Embodied Reference Understanding

Ling Li, Jianhui Zhong, Wei Liu et al. · 2026

Pointing-gesture visual grounding requires connecting hand geometry with the visual identity and extent of a referred object. A central challenge for continuous latent reasoning is how to organize these complementary cues into useful intermediate supervision. We propose Spatial Latent Reasoning (SLR), a framework that …

SkillCycle: Co-Evolving Agent Policies and Skill Banks

Ling Li, Qiuyu Shen, Zheng Jiang et al. · 2026

Internalizing external skills changes a language agent's capabilities and, with them, the value of its remaining guidance: rules can become redundant, misleading, or insufficient for newly encountered decisions. This creates a coupled problem of learning from skills and adapting the skills that supervise further learni …

VISTA: Internalizing Collective Visual Experience via On-Policy Distillation for Active Multimodal Agents

Active multimodal agents use visual tools to acquire task-relevant evidence while reasoning. Although reinforcement learning samples multiple interaction trajectories per input, outcome-based objectives primarily use the group to estimate scalar advantages, leaving complementary visual discoveries underused. We introdu …

Towards Whole-Study Screening for Congenital Heart Disease in Fetal Ultrasound Using Multiple Instance Learning

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, yet a large fraction of cases remain undetected on prenatal ultrasound, in part because current artificial-intelligence methods assume that the key diagnostic frames have already been isolated from a study, by a clinician or by a view classifier. We remove …
