Post-training quantization (PTQ) is an attractive approach for compressing diffusion models to speed up the sampling process and reduce the memory footprint. Most existing PTQ methods uniformly sample data from various time steps in the denoising process to construct a calibration set for quantizati…
This paper introduces a novel unsupervised approach for image deblurring that utilizes a simple process for training data collection, thereby enhancing the applicability and effectiveness of deblurring methods. Our technique does not require meticulously paired data of blurred and corresponding shar
Diffusion models have shown remarkable performance in image synthesis by progressively estimating a smooth transition from a Gaussian distribution of noise to a real image. Unfortunately, their practical deployment is limited by slow inference speed, high memory usage, and the computational demands…
Recent diffusion-based models achieve photorealism in image inpainting but require many sampling steps, limiting practical use. Few-step text-to-image models offer faster generation, but naively applying them to inpainting yields poor harmonization and artifacts between the background and inpainted
State-space models (SSMs) have emerged as efficient linear-time alternatives to attention for long-sequence modeling. However, existing SSMs often suffer from instability and memory degradation over extended horizons due to poorly conditioned first-order updates and uncontrolled spectral geometry. W…
Existing 3D instance segmentation methods frequently encounter issues with over-segmentation, leading to redundant and inaccurate 3D proposals that complicate downstream tasks. This challenge arises from their unsupervised merging approach, where dense 2D instance masks are lifted across frames into…
In social online platforms, identifying influential seed users to maximize influence spread is a crucial as it can greatly diminish the cost and efforts required for information dissemination. While effective, traditional methods for Multiplex Influence Maximization (MIM) have reached their performa…
The rapid growth of text-to-image diffusion models has raised concerns about their potential misuse in generat- ing harmful or unauthorized contents. To address these issues, several Concept Erasure methods have been pro- posed. However, most of them fail to achieve both robust- ness, i.e., the abil…
The escalating demand for real-time image synthesis has driven significant advancements in one-step diffusion models, which inherently offer expedited generation speeds compared to traditional multi-step methods. However, this enhanced efficiency is frequently accompanied by a compromise in the cont…
Recent advances in text-guided image editing enable users to perform image edits through simple text inputs, leveraging the extensive priors of multi-step diffusion-based text-to-image models. However, these methods often fall short of the speed demands required for real-world and on-device applicat…
Significant progression has been made in active learning algorithms for graph networks in various tasks. However real-world applications frequently involve incomplete graphs with missing links, which pose the challenge that existing approaches might not adequately address. This paper presents an act…
This paper presents an innovative framework designed to train an image deblurring algorithm tailored to a specific camera device. This algorithm works by transforming a blurry input image which is challenging to deblur into another blurry image that is more amenable to deblurring. The transformation…
This paper addresses the task of counting human actions of interest using sensor data from wearable devices. We propose a novel exemplar-based framework, allowing users to provide exemplars of the actions they want to count by vocalizing predefined sounds ``one'', ``two'', and ``three''. Our method…
The existing facial datasets while having plentiful images at near frontal views lack images with extreme head poses leading to the downgraded performance of deep learning models when dealing with profile or pitched faces. This work aims to address this gap by introducing a novel dataset named Extre…

Objects within 3D environments exhibit diverse shapes scales and colors making precise instance-level identification a challenging task. Recent advancements in Open-Vocabu…
Zero-shot quantization aims to learn a quantized model from a pre-trained full-precision model with no access to original real training data. The common idea in zero-shot quantization approaches is to generate synthetic data for quantizing the full-precision model. While it is well-known that deep n…
"In this paper, we aim to enhance the performance of SwiftBrush, a prominent one-step text-to-image diffusion model, to be competitive with its multi-step Stable Diffusion counterpart. Initially, we explore the quality-diversity trade-off between SwiftBrush and SD Turbo: the former excels in image d…
We consider the challenging task of training models for image-to-video deblurring, which aims to recover a sequence of sharp images corresponding to a given blurry image input. A critical issue disturbing the training of an image-to-video model is the ambiguity of the frame ordering since both the f…
Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs) offer probability distributions for model parameters, enabling uncertainty quantification in predictions.
