Researchers from Tsinghua University's Institute for Intelligent Industry have developed a novel approach using "intermediate representations" to bridge the gap between different data modalities in AI. Their work, presented across four papers at CVPR 2026, introduces a "third language" that allows AI systems to understand and process information more effectively. This method involves creating an intermediary representation, such as Occupancy for robot actions and video generation, or Gaussian Maps for 4D scene reconstruction, which is more easily understood by AI than direct mapping between disparate data types.
