2nd Workshop on MUCG: Multimodal Large Language Models for Unified Comprehension and Generation
The 2nd MUCG workshop at ECCV 2026 focuses on unified multimodal large language models that integrate comprehension and generation across multiple modalities such as image, video, audio, and 3D. It aims to bring together researchers to discuss architectures, training methods, evaluation benchmarks, and practical challenges in building general-purpose multimodal AI systems.
