From Human Intention to Action Prediction: Intention-Driven End-to-End Autonomous Driving

While end-to-end autonomous driving has achieved remarkable progress in geometric control, current systems remain constrained by a command-following paradigm that relies on simple navigational instructions. Transitioning to genuinely intelligent agents requires the capability to interpret and fulfill high-level, abstract human intentions. However, this advancement is hindered by the lack of dedicated benchmarks and semantic-aware evaluation metrics. In this paper, we formally define the task of Intention-Driven End-to-End Autonomous Driving and present Intention-Drive, a comprehensive benchmark designed to bridge this gap. We construct a large-scale dataset featuring complex natural language intentions paired with high-fidelity sensor data. To overcome the limitations of conventional trajectory-based metrics, we introduce the Imagined Future Alignment (IFA), a novel evaluation protocol leveraging generative world models to assess the semantic fulfillment of human goals beyond mere geometric accuracy. Furthermore, we explore the solution space by proposing two distinct paradigms: an end-to-end vision-language planner and a hierarchical agent-based framework. The experiments reveal a critical dichotomy where existing models exhibit satisfactory driving stability but struggle significantly with intention fulfillment. Notably, the proposed frameworks demonstrate superior alignment with human intentions.

Is Your Driving World Model an All-Around Player?

Today's driving world models can generate remarkably realistic dash-cam videos, yet no single model excels universally. Some generate photorealistic textures but violate basic physics; others maintain geometric consistency but fail when subjected to closed-loop planning. This disconnect exposes a critical gap: the field evaluates how real generated worlds appear, but rarely whether they behave realistically. We introduce WorldLens, a unified benchmark that measures world-model fidelity across the full spectrum, from pixel quality and 4D geometry to closed-loop driving and human perceptual alignment, through five complementary aspects and 24 standardized dimensions. Our evaluation of six representative models reveals that no existing approach dominates across all axes: texture-rich models violate geometry, geometry-aware models lack behavioral fidelity, and even the strongest performers achieve only 2-3 out of 10 on human realism ratings. To bridge algorithmic metrics with human perception, we further contribute WorldLens-26K, a 26,808-entry human-annotated preference dataset pairing numerical scores with textual rationales, and WorldLens-Agent, a vision-language evaluator distilled from these judgments that enables scalable, explainable auto-assessment. Together, the benchmark, dataset, and agent form a unified ecosystem for assessing generated worlds not merely by visual appeal, but by physical and behavioral fidelity.

LoViF 2026 The First Challenge on Holistic Quality Assessment for 4D World Model (PhyScore)

This paper reports on the LoViF 2026 PhyScore challenge, a competition on holistic quality assessment of world-model-generated videos across both 2D and 4D generation settings. The challenge is motivated by a central gap in current evaluation practice: perceptual quality alone is insufficient to judge whether generated dynamics are physically plausible, temporally coherent, and consistent with input conditions. Participants are required to build a metric that jointly predicts four dimensions, i.e., Video Quality, Physical Realism, Condition-Video Alignment, and Temporal Consistency. Depart from that, participants also need to localize physical anomaly timestamps for fine-grained diagnosis. The benchmark dataset contains 1,554 videos generated by seven representative world generative models, organized into three tracks (text-2D, image-to-4D, and video-to-4D) and spanning 26 categories. These categories explicitly cover physics-relevant scenarios, including dynamics, optics, and thermodynamics, together with diverse real-world and creative content. To ensure label reliability, scores and anomaly timestamps are produced through trained human annotation with an additional automated quality-control pass. Evaluation is based on both score prediction and anomaly localization, with a composite protocol that combines TimeStamp_IOU and SRCC/PLCC. This report summarizes the challenge design and provides method-level insights from submitted solutions.

Xiaomi EV World Model: A Joint World Model Integrating Reconstruction and Generation for Autonomous Driving

This report presents a unified technical system addressing the two core capabilities of world models for autonomous driving: world representation and world generation. For world representation, we propose WorldRec, a feed-forward reconstruction architecture driven by sparse scene queries. WorldRec initializes structured queries in 3D space, leveraging them to aggregate cross-view, cross-temporal features, thereby naturally enforcing spatial consistency across frames and yielding compact yet high-fidelity 3D Gaussian scene representations. For world generation, we propose WorldGen, a two-stage training framework of bidirectional pretraining followed by causal fine-tuning through three progressive stages (Teacher Forcing, ODE distillation, and DMD), enabling high-quality online causal video generation in as few as 4 denoising steps. Building on both modules, we further introduce the JWM, which deeply integrates WorldRec and WorldGen to achieve synergistic gains in generation stability, cross-frame consistency, and visual fidelity, providing a solid foundation for closed-loop simulation, data synthesis, and end-to-end training in autonomous driving.

PASS: Part-Aware Self-Supervised Pre-Training for Person Re-Identification

In person re-identification (ReID), very recent researches have validated pre-training the models on unlabelled person images is much better than on ImageNet. However, these researches directly apply the existing self-supervised learning (SSL) methods designed for image classification to ReID without any adaption in the framework. These SSL methods match the outputs of local views (e.g., red T-shirt, blue shorts) to those of the global views at the same time, losing lots of details. In this paper, we propose a ReID-specific pre-training method, Part-Aware Self-Supervised pre-training (PASS), which can generate part-level features to offer fine-grained information and is more suitable for ReID. PASS divides the images into several local areas, and the local views randomly cropped from each area are assigned with a specific learnable [PART] token. On the other hand, the [PART]s of all local areas are also appended to the global views. PASS learns to match the output of the local views and global views on the same [PART]. That is, the learned [PART] of the local views from a local area is only matched with the corresponding [PART] learned from the global views. As a result, each [PART] can focus on a specific local area of the image and extracts fine-grained information of this area. Experiments show PASS sets the new state-of-the-art performances on Market1501 and MSMT17 on various ReID tasks, e.g., vanilla ViT-S/16 pre-trained by PASS achieves 92.2\%/90.2\%/88.5\% mAP accuracy on Market1501 for supervised/UDA/USL ReID.

Training High-Performance and Large-Scale Deep Neural Networks with Full 8-bit Integers

Deep neural network (DNN) quantization converting floating-point (FP) data in the network to integers (INT) is an effective way to shrink the model size for memory saving and simplify the operations for compute acceleration. Recently, researches on DNN quantization develop from inference to training, laying a foundation for the online training on accelerators. However, existing schemes leaving batch normalization (BN) untouched during training are mostly incomplete quantization that still adopts high precision FP in some parts of the data paths. Currently, there is no solution that can use only low bit-width INT data during the whole training process of large-scale DNNs with acceptable accuracy. In this work, through decomposing all the computation steps in DNNs and fusing three special quantization functions to satisfy the different precision requirements, we propose a unified complete quantization framework termed as ``WAGEUBN'' to quantize DNNs involving all data paths including W (Weights), A (Activation), G (Gradient), E (Error), U (Update), and BN. Moreover, the Momentum optimizer is also quantized to realize a completely quantized framework. Experiments on ResNet18/34/50 models demonstrate that WAGEUBN can achieve competitive accuracy on the ImageNet dataset. For the first time, the study of quantization in large-scale DNNs is advanced to the full 8-bit INT level. In this way, all the operations in the training and inference can be bit-wise operations, pushing towards faster processing speed, decreased memory cost, and higher energy efficiency. Our throughout quantization framework has great potential for future efficient portable devices with online learning ability.
