PAWBench: How Far Are We from Probabilistically Aligned World Modeling?
Recent video generation models are increasingly framed as world models. Many physical processes can unfold in more than one valid way. Therefore, a world model should reproduce not only a plausible trajectory, but also the distribution of possible behaviors under the same initial observation and action. We call this distribution-level requirement probabilistic alignment. However, existing evaluations largely assess individual-video plausibility and do not test whether repeated generations recover the correct distribution. This raises a central question: how far are current video generators fro
VideoChat3: Fully Open Video MLLM for Efficient and Generalist Video Understanding
Recent advances in video understanding have spanned motion, long video, and streaming interaction, driving this field toward real-world applications. Despite this progress, current open-source models remain limited in several ways. They often struggle to generalize across diverse video types, making them effective only in specific domains. High computational demands further restrict their efficiency and scalability. Moreover, most models are only partially open, with key components such as training code, strategy, or datasets unavailable, which hinders reproducibility and slows community-drive
Scale Up Strategically: Learning Compositional Generalization via Bias-Aware Evaluation and Data Collection for Robotic Manipulation
Compositional generalization is essential for robot to follow diverse instructions. However, pretrained policies are known to take shortcuts, deferring to salient cues rather than grounding language. We introduce a diagnostic framework that localizes this failure to individual \textit{instruction factors}, \textit{e.g.,} reusable semantic components such as color, verb, object, size, and spatial attribute. Our framework formalizes instruction factor bias, the tendency of fine-tuned policies to over-rely on dominant factors as shortcuts, and quantifies it through two metrics: Factor Dominance R
