Remote sensing multimodal large language models (RS-MLLMs) have advanced scene understanding and visual question answering over satellite imagery, yet localizing specific objects or changed regions remains challenging. Existing approaches rely on generating bounding box coordinates as token sequences, which is fragile for the small, densely packed objects common in remote sensing and increasingly error-prone when multiple targets must be localized simultaneously. In this work, we present an RS-specific formulation of the region selection paradigm, previously explored in natural-image MLLMs, and extend it to temporal change localization over multi-image sequences. Our framework employs a text-conditioned region proposal module, encodes each candidate as special tokens carrying per-frame visual features enriched with spatial and temporal cues, and lets the LLM localize targets by selecting region tokens in its response. We construct a multi-task training and evaluation suite spanning localization, referring expression, visual grounding, and understanding tasks across single-image and multi-temporal settings. Experiments show that our approach substantially outperforms coordinate-generation baselines on temporal change localization, while improving single-image visual grounding and maintaining competitive understanding performance. Oracle analysis decomposes the contributions of the region proposer and the LLM selector, providing diagnostic insight unique to this framework.

Cross-view video representation learning aims to capture viewpoint-invariant action semantics despite substantial appearance changes across egocentric and exocentric videos. However, existing methods encode each video as a unified embedding, where view-invariant and view-variant semantics inevitably entangle under co-occurrences — a failure mode we show persists even in cross-view methods explicitly trained for view-invariance. Our key insight is that a view-invariant feature is truly disentangled when it can be sufficiently recomposed with an arbitrary view-variant feature while preserving their independent semantics. Building on this, we propose PRISM, that decomposes video into view-invariant and view-variant latents and recompose them under language supervision encouraging clean decomposition of the two streams. PRISM achieves state-of-the-art results on EgoExo4D, EgoExoLearn, AE2, even surpassing in-domain models under zero-shot setting.
