Large language models (LLMs) have garnered significant interest in AI community. Despite their impressive generation capabilities, they have been found to produce misleading or fabricated information, a phenomenon known as hallucinations. Consequently, hallucination detection has become critical to
Composed Video Retrieval aims to retrieve a target video given a reference video and a textual modification describing the desired change. The core challenge lies in modeling compositional multimodal transformations, i.e., how entities, actions, and scenes evolve across video and language modalities
Model merging offers a promising paradigm for consolidating multiple expert models into a single multitask architecture. However, its effectiveness is often hindered by task interference, where conflicting parameter updates from different tasks degrade performance. While dynamic, Mixture-of-Experts
Recent advances in unimanual manipulation policies have achieved remarkable success across diverse robotic tasks through abundant training data and well-established model architectures. However, extending these capabilities to bimanual manipulation remains challenging due to the lack of bimanual dem
Diverse Vision-language-action (VLA) models have been proposed and demonstrated remarkable capabilities in robotic manipulation. However, how to effectively ensemble VLAs to further enhance performance remains largely unexplored, as conventional ensemble techniques designed for discriminative tasks …
Evolutionary model merging provides a powerful framework for the automated, training-free composition of LLMs through parameter-space search. However, existing methods predominantly rely on stochastic, hand-crafted operators that overlook the underlying performance landscape of the coefficient space…
Hierarchical Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have rapidly become a dominant paradigm for robotic manipulation. It typically comprising a Vision-Language backbone for perception and understanding, together with a generative policy for action generation. However, its performance is increasingly bo
The aspiration for artificial general intelligence, fueled by the rapid progress of multimodal understanding, demands models to understand humans in diverse and complex scenarios, as humans manifests intelligence and embody the world. We propose HumanPCR, an evaluation suite for probing MLLMs’ capac…
Cross-modal alignment is crucial for multimodal representation fusion due to the inherent heterogeneity between modalities. While Transformer-based methods have shown promising results in modeling inter-modal relationships, their quadratic computational complexity limits their applicability to long-…
Virtual try-on methods based on diffusion models achieve realistic effects but often require additional encoding modules, a large number of training parameters, and complex preprocessing, which increases the burden on training and inference. In this work, we re-evaluate the necessity of additional m…
Currently, many change detection (CD) methods rely on supervised learning, which necessitates extensive manually annotated data, resulting in significant labor and time requirements. Recently, semi-supervised (SS) approaches have emerged in the CD community, which exploit large amounts of unlabeled…
Mamba-based architectures have shown to be a promising new direction for deep learning models owing to their competitive performance and sub-quadratic deployment speed. However, current Mamba multi-modal large language models (MLLM) are insufficient in extracting visual features, leading to imbalanc…
Asymmetric retrieval is a typical scenario in real-world retrieval systems, where compatible models of varying capacities are deployed on platforms with different resource configurations. Existing methods generally train pre-defined networks or subnetworks with capacities specifically designed for p…
Open-Ended object Detection (OED) is a novel and challenging task that detects objects and generates their category names in a free-form manner, without requiring additional vocabularies during inference. However, the existing OED models, such as GenerateU, require large-scale datasets for training,…
Linear attention has emerged as a promising alternative to softmax-based attention, leveraging kernelized feature maps to reduce complexity from quadratic to linear in sequence length. However, the non-negative constraint on feature maps and the relaxed exponential function used in approximation lea…
Understanding human behavior and the environmental information in the egocentric video is very challenging due to the invisibility of some actions (e.g., laughing and sneezing) and the local nature of the first-person view. Leveraging the corresponding exocentric video to provide global context has…
Traditional adversarial attacks typically produce adversarial examples under norm-constrained conditions, whereas unrestricted adversarial examples are free-form with semantically meaningful perturbations. Current unrestricted adversarial impersonation attacks exhibit limited control over adversaria…
Blind image super-resolution (blind SR) aims to restore a high-resolution (HR) image from a low-resolution (LR) image with unknown degradation. Many existing methods explicitly estimate degradation information from various LR images. However, in most cases, image degradations are independent of imag…
Over the past decade most methods in visual place recognition (VPR) have used neural networks to produce feature representations. These networks typically produce a global representation of a place image using only this image itself and neglect the cross-image variations (e.g. viewpoint and illumina…
Visual place recognition (VPR) is a fundamental task for many applications such as robot localization and augmented reality. Recently, the hierarchical VPR methods have received considerable attention due to the trade-off between accuracy and efficiency. They usually first use global features to ret…
Popular transformer-based detectors detect objects in a one-to-one manner, where both the bounding box and category of each object are predicted only by the single query, leading to the box-sensitive category predictions. Additionally, the initialization of positional queries solely based on the pre…
Building a general-purpose agent is a long-standing vision in the field of artificial intelligence. Existing agents have made remarkable progress in many domains, yet they still struggle to complete long-horizon tasks in an open world. We attribute this to the lack of necessary world knowledge and m…
Electroencephalography (EEG) plays a vital role in detecting how brain responses to different stimulus. In this paper, we propose a novel Shallow-Deep Attention-based Network (SDANet) to classify the correct auditory stimulus evoking the EEG signal. It adopts the Attention-based Correlation Module (…
Token interaction operation is one of the core modules in MLP-based models to exchange and aggregate information between different spatial locations. However, the power of token interaction on the spatial dimension is highly dependent on the spatial resolution of the feature maps, which limits the m…
