ECCV 2026 tutorial tackles the evaluation bottleneck for visual foundation and world models

Ziqi Ma will present StEvo and new findings on evaluating world models at ECCV 2026's tutorial "Evaluating Visual Foundation and World Models" (Sept 9, Malmö).
The tutorial's core thesis: as visual AI matures into interactive, 3D-consistent, action-conditioned simulation, evaluation becomes the primary bottleneck — outputs must not just look right but stay coherent over time, obey physics, and support agent interaction.
Covers three levels: visual understanding benchmarks (hallucination, robustness, contamination); image/video generation (compositionality, physical plausibility, reward hacking risks with learned reward models); and world models (3D consistency, geometric stability, state evolution). Related paper on state evolution in video world models shows at the Sept 11 poster session.
