SceneBloom: Agentic Indoor Environment Generation with Realistic and Diverse Layouts for Embodied Learning

Abstract

Training generalizable embodied agents requires realistic, varied, and simulation-ready indoor environments. Language-guided methods support semantic planning and object-level reasoning, but precise spatial grounding remains difficult. Visual generative models offer rich priors over plausible arrangements, yet their outputs require geometric reasoning to become physically valid 3D scenes. We introduce SceneBloom, an agentic framework that combines visual layout sampling with contract-guided 3D compilation. A hierarchical sampler uses diffusion priors to generate furniture arrangements within functional zones. A compiler then uses relations extracted from each proposal to guide geometric fitting and local pose correction. Across five room types, SceneBloom attains the highest visual quality and physical stability among the compared methods and is the only method with no detected mesh collisions and out-of-bounds objects. Its layouts are also closer to the distribution of real rooms than those of all compared baselines. Object navigation policies trained in these realistic scenes achieve a higher success rate in held-out real scans than those trained on an equal number of real training scans.

Long-Tailed 3D Detection via Multi-Modal Fusion

Contemporary autonomous vehicle (AV) benchmarks have significantly advanced multimodal (LiDAR+RGB) 3D detection. However, despite the naturally long-tailed distribution of object classes, existing benchmarking protocols primarily focus on frequent categories (e.g., pedestrian and car), largely overlooking rare but safety-critical classes such as stroller and emergency vehicle. In practice, reliable detection of both common and rare classes is essential for safe autonomous driving. We formalize this problem as Long-Tailed 3D Detection (LT3D), where evaluation encompasses all annotated classes, including rare ones. To address LT3D, we introduce hierarchical losses that promote feature sharing across classes, diagnostic metrics that assign partial credit to semantically reasonable mistakes with respect to the semantic hierarchy (e.g., confusing a child with an adult), and a multimodal late-fusion (MMLF) framework to fuse detections. In particular, we show that rare-class accuracy benefits substantially from MMLF of independently trained uni-modal LiDAR and RGB detectors. Because of the modular design, unlike prevailing end-to-end trained multi-modal detectors that require paired LiDAR-RGB data, MMLF enables the use of advanced unimodal detectors that are trained on large-scale uni-modal datasets with sufficient data for rare classes. Lastly, we examine three fundamental design choices in MMLF, including the RGB detector representation (2D vs. 3D), cross-modal association (3D vs. image plane), and fusion strategy. We find that 2D RGB detectors recognize rare classes more reliably than 3D RGB detectors, image-plane association is more robust to depth estimation errors, and probabilistic score-calibrated fusion consistently yields the best performance. Extensive experiments on nuScenes and Argoverse2 demonstrate substantial improvements of MMLF, establishing a new state of the art.

STATIC: Surface-normal-guided Two-branch Alignment and Temporal Integration for Consistent Video Depth Estimation

Video depth estimation is essential for applications such as autonomous driving, AR/VR, and robotics. Recent transformer-based single-image monocular depth estimation models perform well on a single image but struggle with depth consistency across video frames. Traditional methods aim to improve temporal consistency using multi-frame temporal modules or explicit priors like optical flow and camera parameters. However, these approaches face issues such as high memory use, reduced performance with dynamic or irregular motion, and a heavy reliance on the accuracy of external motion estimators. We propose STATIC, a novel model that independently learns temporal consistency in geometrically stable and unstable regions using only two adjacent frames. By leveraging intrinsic geometric cues rather than external motion priors, STATIC generates a depth-derived geometry-aware difference mask from surface normals to identify regions with inter-frame geometric variation by measuring directional variance. For geometrically stable regions, the Masked Stable (MS) module enhances temporal consistency by focusing on structurally stable regions. For geometrically unstable regions, the Surface Normal Similarity (SNS) module models inter-frame correspondences and ensures temporal consistency by measuring feature similarities between frames. A final refinement integrates the independently learned stable and unstable features, enabling STATIC to improve consistent depth prediction across consecutive frames. Experiments on KITTI, NYUv2, and Sintel demonstrate strong depth accuracy and temporal consistency, as well as stable performance across the tested frame-rate and camera-motion conditions.

Hierarchical Vision Transformer with Prototypes for Interpretable Medical Image Classification

Explainability is an important requirement for machine learning models in high-risk domains such as medicine. We introduce HierViT, a hierarchical Vision Transformer that combines competitive predictive performance with multiple mechanisms to support the interpretation of its predictions. The model first predicts clinically relevant visual appearance attributes, which are then used to infer the final target prediction through a hierarchical reasoning process. To facilitate understanding of the intermediate representations, attribute-specific prototypes are visualized as representative image examples, while attribute-specific attention maps highlight image regions associated with each visual feature. Together, these attribute-level components provide complementary views of the model's reasoning by linking representative image examples and spatial attention to semantically defined visual features. We evaluate HierViT on two medical benchmark datasets: LIDC-IDRI for lung nodule assessment and derm7pt for skin lesion classification. Across both datasets, HierViT achieves competitive predictive performance while providing attribute-level prototypes and attention visualizations that support the interpretation of its predictions.
