Report of the 5th PVUW Challenge: Towards More Diverse Modalities in Pixel-Level Understanding

This report summarizes the objectives, datasets, and top-performing methodologies of the 2026 Pixel-level Video Understanding in the Wild (PVUW) Challenge, hosted at CVPR 2026, which evaluates state-of-the-art models under highly unconstrained conditions. To provide a comprehensive assessment, the 2026 edition features three specialized tracks: the MOSE track for tracking objects within densely cluttered and severely occluded scenarios; the MeViS-Text track for localizing targets via motion-focused linguistic expressions; and the newly inaugurated MeViS-Audio track, which pioneers acoustic-driven object segmentation. By introducing previously unreleased challenging data and analyzing the cutting-edge, multimodal solutions submitted by participants, this report highlights the community's latest technical advancements and charts promising future directions for robust video scene comprehension.

Facial Expression Recognition with Visual Transformers and Attentional Selective Fusion

Facial Expression Recognition (FER) in the wild is extremely challenging due to occlusions, variant head poses, face deformation and motion blur under unconstrained conditions. Although substantial progresses have been made in automatic FER in the past few decades, previous studies were mainly designed for lab-controlled FER. Real-world occlusions, variant head poses and other issues definitely increase the difficulty of FER on account of these information-deficient regions and complex backgrounds. Different from previous pure CNNs based methods, we argue that it is feasible and practical to translate facial images into sequences of visual words and perform expression recognition from a global perspective. Therefore, we propose the Visual Transformers with Feature Fusion (VTFF) to tackle FER in the wild by two main steps. First, we propose the attentional selective fusion (ASF) for leveraging two kinds of feature maps generated by two-branch CNNs. The ASF captures discriminative information by fusing multiple features with the global-local attention. The fused feature maps are then flattened and projected into sequences of visual words. Second, inspired by the success of Transformers in natural language processing, we propose to model relationships between these visual words with the global self-attention. The proposed method is evaluated on three public in-the-wild facial expression datasets (RAF-DB, FERPlus and AffectNet). Under the same settings, extensive experiments demonstrate that our method shows superior performance over other methods, setting new state of the art on RAF-DB with 88.14%, FERPlus with 88.81% and AffectNet with 61.85%. The cross-dataset evaluation on CK+ shows the promising generalization capability of the proposed method.

Scene-Aware Prompt for Multi-modal Dialogue Understanding and Generation

This paper introduces the schemes of Team LingJing's experiments in NLPCC-2022-Shared-Task-4 Multi-modal Dialogue Understanding and Generation (MDUG). The MDUG task can be divided into two phases: multi-modal context understanding and response generation. To fully leverage the visual information for both scene understanding and dialogue generation, we propose the scene-aware prompt for the MDUG task. Specifically, we utilize the multi-tasking strategy for jointly modelling the scene- and session- multi-modal understanding. The visual captions are adopted to aware the scene information, while the fixed-type templated prompt based on the scene- and session-aware labels are used to further improve the dialogue generation performance. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed method has achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance compared with other competitive methods, where we rank the 1-st in all three subtasks in this MDUG competition.

Spatio-Temporal Transformer for Dynamic Facial Expression Recognition in the Wild

Previous methods for dynamic facial expression in the wild are mainly based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), whose local operations ignore the long-range dependencies in videos. To solve this problem, we propose the spatio-temporal Transformer (STT) to capture discriminative features within each frame and model contextual relationships among frames. Spatio-temporal dependencies are captured and integrated by our unified Transformer. Specifically, given an image sequence consisting of multiple frames as input, we utilize the CNN backbone to translate each frame into a visual feature sequence. Subsequently, the spatial attention and the temporal attention within each block are jointly applied for learning spatio-temporal representations at the sequence level. In addition, we propose the compact softmax cross entropy loss to further encourage the learned features have the minimum intra-class distance and the maximum inter-class distance. Experiments on two in-the-wild dynamic facial expression datasets (i.e., DFEW and AFEW) indicate that our method provides an effective way to make use of the spatial and temporal dependencies for dynamic facial expression recognition. The source code and the training logs will be made publicly available.

More but Correct: Generating Diversified and Entity-revised Medical Response

Medical Dialogue Generation (MDG) is intended to build a medical dialogue system for intelligent consultation, which can communicate with patients in real-time, thereby improving the efficiency of clinical diagnosis with broad application prospects. This paper presents our proposed framework for the Chinese MDG organized by the 2021 China conference on knowledge graph and semantic computing (CCKS) competition, which requires generating context-consistent and medically meaningful responses conditioned on the dialogue history. In our framework, we propose a pipeline system composed of entity prediction and entity-aware dialogue generation, by adding predicted entities to the dialogue model with a fusion mechanism, thereby utilizing information from different sources. At the decoding stage, we propose a new decoding mechanism named Entity-revised Diverse Beam Search (EDBS) to improve entity correctness and promote the length and quality of the final response. The proposed method wins both the CCKS and the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) 2021 Workshop Machine Learning for Preventing and Combating Pandemics (MLPCP) Track 1 Entity-aware MED competitions, which demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of our method.

Naive Gabor Networks for Hyperspectral Image Classification

Recently, many convolutional neural network (CNN) methods have been designed for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification since CNNs are able to produce good representations of data, which greatly benefits from a huge number of parameters. However, solving such a high-dimensional optimization problem often requires a large amount of training samples in order to avoid overfitting. Additionally, it is a typical non-convex problem affected by many local minima and flat regions. To address these problems, in this paper, we introduce naive Gabor Networks or Gabor-Nets which, for the first time in the literature, design and learn CNN kernels strictly in the form of Gabor filters, aiming to reduce the number of involved parameters and constrain the solution space, and hence improve the performances of CNNs. Specifically, we develop an innovative phase-induced Gabor kernel, which is trickily designed to perform the Gabor feature learning via a linear combination of local low-frequency and high-frequency components of data controlled by the kernel phase. With the phase-induced Gabor kernel, the proposed Gabor-Nets gains the ability to automatically adapt to the local harmonic characteristics of the HSI data and thus yields more representative harmonic features. Also, this kernel can fulfill the traditional complex-valued Gabor filtering in a real-valued manner, hence making Gabor-Nets easily perform in a usual CNN thread. We evaluated our newly developed Gabor-Nets on three well-known HSIs, suggesting that our proposed Gabor-Nets can significantly improve the performance of CNNs, particularly with a small training set.

Recent Advances and New Guidelines on Hyperspectral and Multispectral Image Fusion

Hyperspectral image (HSI) with high spectral resolution often suffers from low spatial resolution owing to the limitations of imaging sensors. Image fusion is an effective and economical way to enhance the spatial resolution of HSI, which combines HSI with higher spatial resolution multispectral image (MSI) of the same scenario. In the past years, many HSI and MSI fusion algorithms are introduced to obtain high-resolution HSI. However, it lacks a full-scale review for the newly proposed HSI and MSI fusion approaches. To tackle this problem,this work gives a comprehensive review and new guidelines for HSI-MSI fusion. According to the characteristics of HSI-MSI fusion methods, they are categorized as four categories, including pan-sharpening based approaches, matrix factorization based approaches, tensor representation based approaches, and deep convolution neural network based approaches. We make a detailed introduction, discussions, and comparison for the fusion methods in each category. Additionally, the existing challenges and possible future directions for the HSI-MSI fusion are presented.
