We propose a novel learning-based task named fractured object recovery. Unlike the previous fractured object reassembly task that only aligns existing parts with overlaps, our task aims to recover the complete shape by not only reassembling irrelevant parts but also predicting missing parts. Our tas
Recent advancements in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown remarkable progress in video understanding. However, video MLLMs (VideoMLLMs) still suffer from hallucinations, generating nonsensical or irrelevant content. This issue partly stems from over-reliance on pre-trained knowledge
Hateful memes have emerged as a particularly challenging form of online abuse, motivating the development of automated detection systems. Most prior approaches rely on direct detection, producing only binary predictions. Such models fail to provide the context and explanations that real-world modera…
Recent advances in language model interpretability using sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have yet to effectively translate to the visual domain, mainly due to the difficulty and ambiguity of labeling visual concepts. In this paper, we introduce Visual Interpretability via SAE Transfer Alignment (VISTA), …
Recent advances in group-based reinforcement learning (RL) greatly improve LLMs' ability in text reasoning. Yet, these methods lack sufficient modeling of multimodal information, leading to significant reasoning hallucination. In this work, we propose POLIA, a novel group-based RL method with visual…
CLIP is a foundational model with transferable classification performance in the few-shot setting. Several methods have shown improved performance of CLIP using few-shot examples. However, so far all these techniques have been benchmarked using standard few-shot datasets. We argue that this mode of…
In light of the widespread deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs), the responsibility for safeguarding and regulating LLM-generated content has taken on heightened significance. Recent advancements in LLM-based moderation methods, e.g., LlamaGuard, have demonstrated remarkable promise in identif…
Practical object detection application can lose its effectiveness on image inputs with natural distribution shifts. This problem leads the research community to pay more attention on the robustness of detectors under Out-Of-Distribution (OOD) inputs. Existing works construct datasets to benchmark th…
To promote the safe application of detectors, a task of unsupervised out-of-distribution object detection (OOD-OD) is recently proposed, whose goal is to detect unseen OOD objects without accessing any auxiliary OOD data. For this task, the challenge mainly lies in how to only leverage the known in-…
In Video Object Detection (VID), a common practice is to leverage the rich temporal contexts from the video to enhance the object representations in each frame. Existing methods treat the temporal contexts obtained from different objects indiscriminately and ignore their different identities. While…
In text-video retrieval, recent works have benefited from the powerful learning capabilities of pre-trained text-image foundation models (e.g., CLIP) by adapting them to the video domain. A critical problem for them is how to effectively capture the rich semantics inside the video using the image en…
In this paper, we propose a new minimal path-based framework for minimally interactive tubular structure tracking in conjunction with a perceptual grouping scheme. The minimal path models have shown great advantages in tubular structures tracing. However, they suffer from shortcuts or short branches…
The minimal geodesic models based on the Eikonal equations are capable of finding suitable solutions in various image segmentation scenarios. Existing geodesic-based segmentation approaches usually exploit the image features in conjunction with geometric regularization terms (such as curve length or…
In this paper, we investigate video summarization in the supervised setting. Since video summarization is subjective to the preference of the end-user, the design of a unique model is limited. In this work, we propose a model that provides personalized video summaries by conditioning the summarizati…
Few-shot image classification aims to classify unseen classes with limited labelled samples. Recent works benefit from the meta-learning process with episodic tasks and can fast adapt to class from training to testing. Due to the limited number of samples for each task, the initial embedding network…
The dense video captioning task aims to detect and describe a sequence of events in a video for detailed and coherent storytelling. Previous works mainly adopt a "detect-then-describe" framework, which firstly detects event proposals in the video and then generates descriptions for the detected even…
Video classification problem is a challenging task in computer vision. The performance of this task is highly relied on the scale of training data and the effectiveness of video embedding via a robust embedding network. Unsupervised solutions such as feature average pooling technique, as a simple la…
The problem of anomaly detection among multiple processes is considered within the framework of sequential design of experiments. The objective is an active inference strategy consisting of a selection rule governing which process to probe at each time, a stopping rule on when to terminate the detec…

Our image segmentation method extracts a collection of curvature penaliz…
