Aiming to estimate the full extent of partially occluded objects, amodal segmentation is a critical capability for visual intelligence. Existing methods suffer from limitations in efficiency and precision, due to their reliance on auxiliary information or two-stage architectures. Furthermore, they l
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) perform well in single-image visual grounding but struggle with real-world tasks that demand cross-image reasoning and multi-modal instructions. To address this, we adopt a reinforcement learning (RL) based post-training strategy for MLLMs in multi-image grou…
Incomplete multi-view multi-label learning is fundamentally an information integration problem under simultaneous view and label incompleteness. We introduce Permutation-Consistent Variational Encoding framework (PCVE) with an information bottleneck strategy, which learns variational representations…
Current evaluation paradigms for generative models rely heavily on retrieval-based metrics such as exact match accuracy, creating a bottleneck particularly in domains requiring scientific discovery and creative reasoning. These metrics penalize any deviation from the training distribution, treating …
Solutions to time-varying problems are crucial for research areas such as predicting changes in human body shape over time. While recurrent neural networks have made significant advancements in this field, their reliance on centralized processing has led to challenges such as model silos and data is…
Due to its rich characteristic and high accuracy, palmprint patterns have played an important role in identity recognition. However, current palmprint recognition techniques often concentrate on extracting salient features, neglecting the interactions between local and global textural attributes in…
Pixel-level anomaly detection is indispensable in industrial defect detection and medical diagnosis. Recently, Segment Anything Model (SAM) has achieved promising results in many vision tasks. However, direct application of the SAM to pixel-level anomaly detection tasks results in unsatisfactory per
Zero-Shot Industrial Anomaly Detection (ZSIAD) aims to identify and localize anomalies in industrial images from unseen categories. Owing to the powerful generalization capabilities, Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved growing interest in ZSIAD. To guide the model toward understanding and lo
The need for robust machine learning models is particularly evident in the realm of biological pattern recognition. Traditional centralized methods often struggle, as they frequently depend on large datasets that are challenging to gather due to stringent data privacy regulations. To address these l…
Recently, various deep denoising methods have been proposed to solve the insufficient feature problem in image denoising. These methods can be mainly classified into two categories: (1) Injecting learnable tensors into denoising backbone to supplement feature, which is effective to some extent but m…
Vision-language models (VLMs) have emerged as formidable tools, showing their strong capability in handling various open-vocabulary tasks in image recognition, text-driven visual content generation, and visual chatbots, to name a few. In recent years, considerable efforts and resources have been dev…
Since Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) and Vision Transformer perform well in learning generalizable image priors from large-scale data, these models have been widely used in image denoising tasks. However, vanilla DCNNs and Transformer suffer from two problems. First, the vanilla DCNNs an…
Most of the existing incomplete multi-view clustering (IMVC) methods focus on attaining a consensus representation from different views but ignore the important information hidden in the missing views and the latent intrinsic structures in each view. To tackle these issues, in this paper, a unified…
Recently, deep learning techniques are soaring and have shown dramatic improvements in real-world noisy image denoising. However, the statistics of real noise generally vary with different camera sensors and in-camera signal processing pipelines. This will induce problems of most deep denoisers for…
The use of finger-vein (FV) trait for the purpose of identity authentication has attracted much attention in recent years. However, most of the conventional FV recognition methods are hand-crafted by design and require strong prior knowledge, which are ineffective at expressing the distinctiveness o…
In this paper, we propose a novel method, referred to as incomplete multi-view tensor spectral clustering with missing-view inferring (IMVTSC-MVI) to address the challenging multi-view clustering problem with missing views. Different from the existing methods which commonly focus on exploring the ce…
Diabetes mellitus and lung cancer are two of the most common fatal diseases in the world, causing considerable deaths every year. However, it is not easy to detect diabetes mellitus and lung cancer efficiently--needing professional medical instruments such as a CT and a qualified individual to perfo…
In recent years, incomplete multi-view clustering, which studies the challenging multi-view clustering problem on missing views, has received growing research interests. Although a series of methods have been proposed to address this issue, the following problems still exist: 1) Almost all of the ex…
Least squares regression (LSR) has two main issues that greatly limits the improvement of performance: 1) The target matrix is too rigid leading to a large regression error; 2) the underlying geometric structure of the training data is often ignored to learn a more discriminative projection matrix.…
Direction information has been intensively investigated for Finger-Knuckle-Print (FKP) recognition. However, most existing direction-based KFP recognition methods are handcrafted, which are heuristic and require too much prior knowledge to engineer them. In this paper, we propose a discriminative di…
