Aligning Visual Contrastive learning models via Preference Optimization

ICLR 2025poster

Contrastive learning models have demonstrated impressive abilities to capture semantic similarities by aligning representations in the embedding space. However, their performance can be limited by the quality of the training data and its inherent biases. While Preference Optimization (PO) methods su…

Enhancing Temporal Understanding in Video-LLMs through Stacked Temporal Attention in Vision Encoders

NeurIPS 2025poster

Despite significant advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), understanding complex temporal dynamics in videos remains a major challenge. Our experiments show that current Video Large Language Model (Video-LLM) architectures have critical limitations in temporal understanding, strugglin…

A generic diffusion-based approach for 3D human pose prediction in the wild

ICRA 2023poster

Predicting 3D human poses in real-world scenarios, also known as human pose forecasting, is inevitably subject to noisy inputs arising from inaccurate 3D pose estimations and occlusions. To address these challenges, we propose a diffusion-based approach that can predict given noisy observations. We…
