InfoChartQA: A Benchmark for Multimodal Question Answering on Infographic Charts
Understanding infographic charts with design-driven visual elements (e.g., pictograms, icons) requires both visual recognition and reasoning, posing challenges for multimodal large language models (MLLMs). However, existing visual-question answering benchmarks fall short in evaluating these capabilities of MLLMs due to the lack of paired plain charts and visual-element-based questions. To bridge this gap, we introduce InfoChartQA, a benchmark for evaluating MLLMs on infographic chart understand…

The ‘chain of favors’ that keeps Cubans afloat in the face of state abandonment
Tired of waiting for a government that has turned its back on them, millions of people suffering from hunger, homelessness and a lack of medicine in Cuba are relying on solidarity to survive

S4-Driver: Scalable Self-Supervised Driving Multimodal Large Language Modelwith Spatio-Temporal Visual Representation
The latest advancements in multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) have spurred a strong renewed interest in end-to-end motion planning approaches for autonomous driving. Many end-to-end approaches rely on human annotations to learn intermediate perception and prediction tasks, while purely self-supervised approaches--which directly learn from sensor inputs to generate planning trajectories without human annotations often underperform the state of the art. We observe a key gap in the input re…

"Here's RFK's plan:
1. Claim vaccines cause autism
2. Push vaccine skepticism, lower vax rates
3. Create autism registry - people avoid getting a diagnosis to stay off it
4. Point to the decrease in autism diagnoses as "proof" vaccines cause autism"

Dynamic-I2V: Exploring Image-to-Video Generaion Models via Multimodal LLM
Recent advancements in image-to-video (I2V) generation have shown promising performance in conventional scenarios. However, these methods still encounter significant challenges when dealing with complex scenes that require a deep understanding of nuanced motion and intricate object-action relationships. To address these challenges, we present Dynamic-I2V, an innovative framework that integrates Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to jointly encode visual and textual conditions for a diffus…

Evolution of wind-generated shallow water waves in a Benney-Luke equation
In recent papers, denoted by MG24, MG25 in this text, we used the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and its two-dimensional extension, the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation to describe the evolution of wind-driven water wave packets in shallow water. Both equations were modified to include the effect of wind forcing, modelled using the Miles critical level instability theory. In this paper that is extended to a Benney-Luke (BL) equation, similarly modified for wind forcing. The motivation is …
