Explanation and high-order reasoning capabilities are crucial for real-world visual question answering with diverse levels of inference complexity (e.g., what is the dog that is near the girl playing with?) and important for users to…
Retrieving the right level of context for a given query is a perennial challenge in information retrieval - too large a chunk dilutes semantic specificity, while chunks that are too small lack broader context. This paper introduces the…
Multidimensional human understanding is essential for real-world applications such as film analysis and virtual digital humans, yet current LVLM benchmarks largely focus on single-task settings and lack fine-grained, human-centric…
