We introduce Hybrid Space-aware Stochastic Convolution Attention Noise (HySCAN), a hybrid randomized defense that helps close the long-standing gap between provable robustness under ℓ2 certificates and empirical robustness against strong ℓ∞ attacks, while maintaining strong generalization across div…
Medical vision-language models (VLMs) are strong zero-shot recognizers for medical imaging, but their reliability under domain shift hinges on calibrated uncertainty with guarantees. Split conformal prediction (SCP) offers finite-sample coverage, yet prediction sets often become large (low efficienc
We present a language-based noise modulation module for diffusion models that improves image color generation under textual guidance. Unlike standard approaches that inject noise uniformly, our method leverages semantic cues from text to selectively control the noise injection process, preserving l
Recent advancements in multimodal large reasoning models (MLRMs) have significantly improved performance in visual question answering. However, we observe that transition words (e.g., because, however, and wait) are closely associated with hallucinations and tend to exhibit high-entropy states. We a
The deployment of large, black-box foundation models for medical image classification is often hindered by the high cost of acquiring large, task-specific labeled datasets for fine-tuning. While active learning (AL) presents a promising solution, many state-of-the-art AL methods are computationally
We introduce DiMPLe (Disentangled Multi-Modal Prompt Learning), a novel approach to disentangle invariant and spurious features across vision and language modalities in multi-modal learning. Spurious correlations in visual data often hinder out-of-distribution (OOD) performance. Unlike prior methods…
Informative sample selection in active learning (AL) helps a machine learning system attain optimum performance with minimum labeled samples, thus improving human-in-the-loop computer-aided diagnosis systems with limited labeled data. Data augmentation is highly effective for enlarging datasets with…
Self-supervised anomaly detection and localization are critical to real-world scenarios in which collecting anomalous samples and pixel-wise labeling is tedious or infeasible, even worse when a wide variety of unseen anomalies could surface at test time. Our approach involves a pretext task in the c…
Deep neural networks have demonstrated promising performance on image recognition tasks. However, they may heavily rely on confounding factors, using irrelevant artifacts or bias within the dataset as the cue to improve performance. When a model performs decision-making based on these spurious corre…
Medical image segmentation is important for computer aided diagnosis. Pixelwise manual annotations of large datasets require high expertise and is time consuming. Conventional data augmentations have limited benefit by not fully representing the underlying distribution of the training set, thus affe…
Despite well-established baselines, learning of scene depth and ego-motion from monocular video remains an ongoing challenge, specifically when handling scaling ambiguity issues and depth inconsistencies in image sequences. Much prior work uses either a supervised mode of learning or stereo images.…
