Seven Research Pillars

The multimodal AI landscape, organized into seven principled research axes — each encompassing models, benchmarks, datasets, surveys, arena rankings, and theoretical foundations.

Text-to-Image Generation

Foundational synthesis architectures, face generation, controllable generation via spatial and semantic conditioning, text-guided editing, subject-driven personalization, cross-modal extensions, arena leaderboards, benchmarks, and datasets.

Text-to-Video Generation

Foundation video synthesis models spanning GANs to diffusion transformers, controllable and efficient generation, long-form video synthesis, temporal coherence benchmarks, and large-scale video-text corpora.

Image-to-Video Generation

Image animation via learned motion priors, character-driven video synthesis, talking-head generation, temporally consistent video editing, motion transfer, audio-driven synthesis, and visual enhancement.

3D Vision

3D Gaussian Splatting, Neural Radiance Fields, text/image-to-3D generation, LLM-driven 3D understanding, NeRF-SLAM, GS-SLAM, visual and LiDAR SLAM, robotic manipulation, navigation, and spatial localization.

4D Spatial Intelligence

Monocular and multi-view depth estimation, camera pose recovery, dense 3D/4D point tracking, scene reconstruction, 4D dynamic scenes via deformable NeRFs and 4DGS, human-centric motion capture, and physics-grounded simulation.

Unified Multimodal Models

Architectures that jointly perform visual understanding and generation — diffusion-based, autoregressive, hybrid AR-diffusion, and any-to-any paradigms, complemented by evaluation benchmarks and training corpora.

World Models

Learned environment dynamics for game simulation, autonomous driving, embodied manipulation, model-based reinforcement learning, theoretical underpinnings, benchmarks, and comprehensive surveys.

Why OpenMM-Arena?

A unified, navigable taxonomy for the rapidly converging research landscape of multimodal artificial intelligence.

The field of multimodal artificial intelligence has undergone an unprecedented convergence of historically disparate research traditions. Text-to-image synthesis and text-to-video generation have evolved from nascent subfields into foundational pillars of generative AI, while image-to-video generation bridges static visual content with temporal dynamics through learned motion priors. 3D vision — underpinned by Neural Radiance Fields, 3D Gaussian Splatting, LLM-driven scene understanding, and visual SLAM — extends generative modeling into the spatial domain, forging connections to real-time robotics, autonomous navigation, and embodied agents. 4D spatial intelligence introduces the temporal axis through monocular depth estimation, dense 3D/4D tracking, dynamic scene reconstruction, human-centric motion capture, and physics-grounded simulation. These areas intersect profoundly with world models that seek to learn predictive environment dynamics, and unified multimodal architectures that dissolve the boundary between visual perception and generation. OpenMM-Arena serves as a definitive, centralized knowledge base that systematically organizes, cross-references, and catalogues this expansive and rapidly growing literature.
