FLAT: Resampling Image and Text into 1D Flexible-Length Aligned Transmodal Tokens for Retrieval and Generation

FLAT jointly trains a multimodal encoder with text-to-image and image-to-text decoders, producing flexible-length tokens that hit 83.1 GenEval on T2I after fine-tuning.

FLAT (Flexible-Length Aligned Transmodal representations) is a pre-training framework that jointly optimizes a shared multimodal encoder with T2I and I2T decoders, combining contrastive alignment with bidirectional cross-modal generative objectives. It maps visual and textual inputs into a unified continuous 1D sequence space and uses nested dropout over prefix-K tokens for dynamic output lengths. A single pre-training stage supports cross-modal retrieval and generation (71.1 GenEval), with task-specific fine-tuning reaching 83.1 GenEval on T2I, 40.5 BLEU-4 and 138.6 CIDEr on MS-COCO captioning, and strong Recall@5 on MS-COCO and Flickr30K.

SlipSense: Multimodal Tactile Learning for Low-Latency and Generalized Slip Detection

SlipSense fuses a 32x32 piezoresistive array and MEMS accelerometer to detect robotic grip slips within 23.1 ms, generalizing zero-shot across platforms.

SlipSense is a multimodal tactile slip-detection framework built on TacV5, a sensor combining a 32x32 piezoresistive array at 240 Hz and a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer at 8 kHz. It performs modality-specific encoding, intra-sensor fusion, and cross-modal attention with causal temporal prediction at 240 Hz. On a 1.4-million-frame dataset spanning 37 objects it achieves 96.7% Macro F1 with a false-positive rate below 1.6%, detecting 76% of slip events within 23.1 ms. Trained solely on UMI data, it transfers zero-shot to a Tesollo dexterous hand across unseen objects, sensor units, and platforms.

Don't Send What You Don't Need: Question-Guided Token Pruning as a Privacy Defense for Vision-Language Models

QPriv-VL prunes privacy-sensitive visual tokens in federated/split VQA, cutting membership-inference success on VQA-RAD from 0.99 to 0.76-0.79 using ~40% of tokens.

The paper proposes QPriv-VL, a question-guided token-pruning framework for federated, split, and U-shaped split learning that suppresses privacy-sensitive visual patches before transmission. Its Dynamic Threshold Predictor combines cross-modal question relevance with frozen DINOv2-derived sensitivity to compute a per-sample pruning ratio and retention mask in one forward pass, without sensitivity labels. Evaluated on GQA, OK-VQA, VQAv2, SLAKE, VQA-RAD, and PathVQA against FSHA, FORA, iDLG, and attribute-inference membership inference attacks, it matches or beats fixed-ratio pruning. On VQA-RAD it reduces membership-inference success from 0.99 to 0.76-0.79 while preserving competitive accuracy with about 40% of the original token budget.
