UniWorld Workshop @ ECCV2026

Universal Representations for Perception, Reasoning, and World Modeling

Submit via OpenReview

Overview

Computer vision is shifting from task-specific pipelines to general-purpose multimodal foundation models. Yet current systems remain fragmented: perception models recognize, generative models synthesize, and reasoning often occurs mainly in language space. This separation limits scalability, transferability, and holistic scene understanding.

Recent progress in multimodal large models, neural scene representations, video foundation models, and embodied world models suggests these directions are converging. UniWorld targets this moment by promoting universal representations that unify perception, reasoning, generation, and interaction within a coherent framework.

Despite rapid advances, core challenges remain: designing architectures for heterogeneous data, mitigating task interference, enabling compositional reasoning, and achieving robust generalization across domains. By bringing together researchers across foundation models, multimodal learning, and world modeling, UniWorld aims to catalyze principled approaches toward generalizable visual intelligence.

Submission Guidelines

  1. Submit your paper via OpenReview. Submissions must follow the ECCV 2026 Submission Policy.
  2. Submission tracks Archival: accepted papers will be included in the ECCV proceedings. Non-archival: accepted papers will not be included in the proceedings, so we welcome submissions that have been accepted by or are under review at other venues.
  3. Prepare submissions using the ECCV 2026 Author Kit for LaTeX.
  4. Papers submitted to the workshop will be reviewed in a double-blind process. All accepted papers will be presented in a poster session.
  • Paper LengthMaximum 14 pages, excluding references
