Assessing artistic creativity is foundational to creativity research and arts education, yet manual scoring (e.g., Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking) is labor-intensive at scale. Prior machine-learning approaches show promise for visual…

We introduce V-SONAR, a vision-language embedding space extended from the text-only embedding space SONAR (Omnilingual Embeddings Team et al., 2026), which supports 1500 text languages and 177 speech languages. To construct V-SONAR, we…

Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown remarkable progress in offline tasks such as image captioning and video question answering. However, real-time interactive environments impose new demands on VLMs, requiring them to generate…
