CVPR 2026 Highlight Main Conference

AdaPrior: Bayesian-Inspired Adaptive Prior Correction for Long-Tailed Continual Learning

Authors: S Divakar Bhat, Amit Popat More, Mudit Soni, Bhuvan Aggarwal

Venue: IEEE/CVF CVPR 2026 Main Conference (Highlight)

A method for long-tailed continual learning that adaptively corrects model priors to reduce bias under class imbalance and incremental distribution shifts.

CVPRW 2026 Oral Poster Spatial VLMs

Consistent Yet Wrong: Evidence Insensitivity in Spatial Vision-Language Models

Authors: S Divakar Bhat, Toshihiko Yamasaki

Venue: Workshop on Multimodal Learning and Applications (MULA), IEEE/CVF CVPR Workshops 2026

An analysis of evidence-insensitive behavior in spatial VLMs, highlighting consistent predictions that remain poorly grounded to visual evidence.

ICLR 2026 VLMs

Seeing What’s Not There: Negation Understanding Needs More Than Training

Authors: B. Aggarwal, A. More, M. Soni, S. D. Bhat

Venue: ICLR 2026

Shows limits of current VLM training regimes for negation understanding, motivating stronger reasoning-oriented adaptation and evaluation protocols.
