Lumina-OmniLV: A Unified Multimodal Framework for General Low-Level Vision

arXiv:2504.04903v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present Lunima-OmniLV (abbreviated as OmniLV), a universal multimodal multi-task framework for low-level vision that addresses over 100 sub-tasks across four major categories: image restoration, image enhancement, weak-semantic dense prediction, and stylization. OmniLV leverages both textual and visual prompts to offer flexible and user-friendly interactions. Built on Diffusion Transformer (DiT)-based generative priors, our framework supports arbitrary resolutions -- achieving optimal performance at 1K resolution -- while preserving fine-grained details and high fidelity. Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate that separately encoding text and visual instructions, combined with co-training using shallow feature control, is essential to mitigate task ambiguity and enhance multi-task generalization. Our findings also reveal that integrating high-level generative tasks into low-level vision models can compromise detail-sensitive restoration. These insights pave the way for more robust and generalizable low-level vision systems.

FAPE-IR: Frequency-Aware Planning and Execution Framework for All-in-One Image Restoration

arXiv:2511.14099v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: All-in-One Image Restoration (AIO-IR) aims to develop a unified model that can handle multiple degradations under complex conditions. However, existing methods often rely on task-specific designs or latent routing strategies, making it hard to adapt to real-world scenarios with various degradations. We propose FAPE-IR, a Frequency-Aware Planning and Execution framework for image restoration. It uses a frozen Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) as a planner to analyze degraded images and generate concise, frequency-aware restoration plans. These plans guide a LoRA-based Mixture-of-Experts (LoRA-MoE) module within a diffusion-based executor, which dynamically selects high- or low-frequency experts, complemented by frequency features of the input image. To further improve restoration quality and reduce artifacts, we introduce adversarial training and a frequency regularization loss. By coupling semantic planning with frequency-based restoration, FAPE-IR offers a unified and interpretable solution for all-in-one image restoration. Extensive experiments show that FAPE-IR achieves state-of-the-art performance across seven restoration tasks and exhibits strong zero-shot generalization under mixed degradations.

Multimodal Continual Learning with MLLMs from Multi-scenario Perspectives

arXiv:2511.18507v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) deployed on devices must adapt to continuously changing visual scenarios such as variations in background and perspective, to effectively perform complex visual tasks. To investigate catastrophic forgetting under real-world scenario shifts, we construct a multimodal visual understanding dataset (MSVQA), covering four distinct scenarios and perspectives: high-altitude, underwater, low-altitude, and indoor environments. Furthermore, we propose UNIFIER (mUltimodal coNtInual learning with MLLMs From multi-scenarIo pERspectives), a continual learning (CL) framework designed to address visual discrepancies while learning different scenarios. Compared to existing CL methods, UNIFIER enables knowledge accumulation within the same scenario and mutual enhancement across different scenarios via Vision Representation Expansion (VRE) and Vision Consistency Constraint (VCC). Experimental results show that UNIFIER improves the last-step VQA scores by 2.70%~10.62% and the last-step F1 scores by 3.40%~7.69% compared to the state-of-the-art method, QUAD, in 20-step cross-scenario continual learning tasks. MSVQA dataset is available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/Kaij00/MSVQA.

Video-EM: Event-Centric Episodic Memory for Long-Form Video Understanding

arXiv:2508.09486v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Video Large Language Models (Video-LLMs) have shown strong video understanding, yet their application to long-form videos remains constrained by limited context windows. A common workaround is to compress long videos into a handful of representative frames via retrieval or summarization. However, most existing pipelines score frames in isolation, implicitly assuming that frame-level saliency is sufficient for downstream reasoning. This often yields redundant selections, fragmented temporal evidence, and weakened narrative grounding for long-form video question answering. We present \textbf{Video-EM}, a training-free, event-centric episodic memory framework that reframes long-form VideoQA as \emph{episodic event construction} followed by \emph{memory refinement}. Instead of treating retrieved keyframes as independent visuals, Video-EM employs an LLM as an active memory agent to orchestrate off-the-shelf tools: it first localizes query-relevant moments via multi-grained semantic matching, then groups and segments them into temporally coherent events, and finally encodes each event as a grounded episodic memory with explicit temporal indices and spatio-temporal cues (capturing \emph{when}, \emph{where}, \emph{what}, and involved entities). To further suppress verbosity and noise from imperfect upstream signals, Video-EM integrates a reasoning-driven self-reflection loop that iteratively verifies evidence sufficiency and cross-event consistency, removes redundancy, and adaptively adjusts event granularity. The outcome is a compact yet reliable \emph{event timeline} -- a minimal but sufficient episodic memory set that can be directly consumed by existing Video-LLMs without additional training or architectural changes.

LMMRec: LLM-driven Motivation-aware Multimodal Recommendation

arXiv:2602.05474v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Motivation-based recommendation systems uncover user behavior drivers. Motivation modeling, crucial for decision-making and content preference, explains recommendation generation. Existing methods often treat motivation as latent variables from interaction data, neglecting heterogeneous information like review text. In multimodal motivation fusion, two challenges arise: 1) achieving stable cross-modal alignment amid noise, and 2) identifying features reflecting the same underlying motivation across modalities. To address these, we propose LLM-driven Motivation-aware Multimodal Recommendation (LMMRec), a model-agnostic framework leveraging large language models for deep semantic priors and motivation understanding. LMMRec uses chain-of-thought prompting to extract fine-grained user and item motivations from text. A dual-encoder architecture models textual and interaction-based motivations for cross-modal alignment, while Motivation Coordination Strategy and Interaction-Text Correspondence Method mitigate noise and semantic drift through contrastive learning and momentum updates. Experiments on three datasets show LMMRec achieves up to a 4.98\% performance improvement.
