Towards High-Resolution Visual Perception via Hierarchical Entity Exploration
High-resolution (HR) image perception remains a key challenge in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), as fine-grained details are often lost when the image is processed as a whole. Existing methods either require training to teach models where to look or heuristically divide the image into fixed regions, both of which struggle to generalize in complex HR scenes. In this work, we propose Hierarchical Entity Exploration (HEE), a training-free and model-agnostic framework that transforms static image understanding into dynamic, query-guided entity exploration. HEE first evaluates each region using a dual scoring mechanism to determine whether it already contains sufficient evidence to answer the question. If not, it applies object detection within the most promising region to extract fine-grained entities, clusters them into coherent subregions, and organizes them into a multi-level semantic hierarchy for deeper exploration. When deeper regions still fail to yield confident answers, a confidence-guided backtracking mechanism revisits alternative paths to ensure adaptive perception. Extensive results show that HEE outperforms training-free methods like ZoomEye and RAP in both accuracy and efficiency on two complex HR benchmarks (Visual Probe and HR-Bench), across different MLLMs such as Qwen2.5-VL and LLaVA-OneVision. Moreover, HEE demonstrates generalization on the MME-RealWorld benchmark.

Super-Identity Convolutional Neural Network for Face Hallucination
Face hallucination is a generative task to super-resolve the facial image with low resolution while human perception of face heavily relies on identity information. However, previous face hallucination approaches largely…

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have recently demonstrated strong multimodal understanding, yet their fine-grained visual perception is often constrained by low input resolutions. A common remedy is to partition hig…
From Web to Pixels: Bringing Agentic Search into Visual Perception
Visual perception connects high-level semantic understanding to pixel-level perception, but most existing settings assume that the decisive evidence for identifying a target is already in the image or frozen model knowle…
Graph-based hierarchical record clustering for unsupervised entity resolution
Here we study the problem of matched record clustering in unsupervised entity resolution. We build upon a state-of-the-art probabilistic framework named the Data Washing Machine (DWM). We introduce a graph-based hierarch…
