Beyond ReLU: Bifurcation, Oversmoothing, and Topological Priors

ICML 2026spotlight

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) learn node representations through iterative network-based message-passing. While powerful, deep GNNs suffer from oversmoothing, where node features converge to a homogeneous, non-informative state. We re-frame this problem of representational collapse from a \emph{bifur…

PaNDaS: Learnable Shape Interpolation Modeling with Localized Control

CVPR 2026

We present PaNDaS, a novel deep learning framework for Partial Non-Rigid Deformations and interpolations of Surfaces (PaNDaS). PaNDaS learns a per-face feature field on the source mesh and fuses it with a global encoding of the target. A deformation generator predicts a Jacobian field and recovers a

PatchAlign3D: Local Feature Alignment for Dense 3D Shape Understanding

CVPR 2026

Current foundation models for 3D shapes excel at global tasks (retrieval, classification) but transfer poorly to local part-level reasoning. Recent approaches leverage vision and language foundation models to directly solve dense tasks through multi-view renderings and text queries. While promising,

Unfolding Generative Flows with Koopman Operators: Trajectory-Preserving Linearization

ICML 2026poster

Continuous Normalizing Flows (CNFs) enable elegant generative modeling but remain bottlenecked by their iterative nature requiring costly sampling and lacking interpretability of the intermediate states. Recent approaches accelerate sampling by straightening trajectories or distilling endpoints, yet…

DiffuMatch: Category-Agnostic Spectral Diffusion Priors for Robust Non-rigid Shape Matching

ICCV 2025poster

Deep functional maps have recently emerged as a powerful tool for solving non-rigid shape correspondence tasks. Methods that use this approach combine the power and flexibility of the functional map framework, with data-driven learning for improved accuracy and generality. However, most existing met…

BaRe-ESA: A Riemannian Framework for Unregistered Human Body Shapes

ICCV 2023poster

We present Basis Restricted Elastic Shape Analysis (BaRe-ESA), a novel Riemannian framework for human body scan representation, interpolation and extrapolation. BaRe-ESA operates directly on unregistered meshes, i.e., without the need to establish prior point to point correspondences or to assume a…

3D Shape Sequence of Human Comparison and Classification Using Current and Varifolds

ECCV 2022poster

"In this paper we address the task of the comparison and the classification of 3D shape sequences of human. The non-linear dynamics of the human motion and the changing of the surface parametrization over the time make this task very challenging. To tackle this issue, we propose to embed the 3D shap…
