ECCV 2026 tutorial covers full arc of visual foundation and world model evaluation
gowthami_s · x · 2026-09-09
Researchers behind Molmo will host an ECCV 2026 half-day tutorial, "Evaluating Visual Foundation and World Models," on Sept 9 in Malmö, Sweden.
Scope: spanning visual understanding (multimodal LLMs), diffusion/flow-matching/autoregressive image-video generation, and world models for embodied intelligence.
Key argument: evaluation is now the primary bottleneck gating progress — leaderboard scalars miss negation, compositionality, and physical plausibility, and in the RLHF era every reward-model weakness becomes a reward-hacking target.
World model eval topics: 3D consistency, geometric stability, temporal coherence, physics adherence, and whether agents can act within simulated worlds.
