Robotic manipulation of flat objects is challenging due to the ungraspable configurations and strong variations in object geometry and material. Existing methods rely on heuristic pre-manipulation and are often evaluated in closed settings with limited generalization. We propose a unified framework …
Achieving accurate garment grasping under dynamically changing illumination is crucial for all-day operation of service robots. However, the reduced illumination in low-light scenes severely degrades garment structural features, leading to a significant drop in grasping robustness. Existing methods
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) achieve impressive multimodal reasoning but remain prone to hallucinations, generating content inconsistent with visual evidence. Existing mitigation methods often rely on auxiliary modules or coarse decoding-time adjustments, overlooking the fine-grained dynamic…
Diffusion transformers have achieved remarkable progress in high-quality image and video generation, but their computational overhead remains a significant challenge. Existing token reduction-based acceleration techniques, such as caching and merging, attempt to reduce this cost from both temporal a
Unified image generation and editing models suffer from severe task interference in dense diffusion transformers architectures, where a shared parameter space must compromise between conflicting objectives (e.g., local editing v.s. subject-driven generation). While the sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE
Personalized concept generation by tuning diffusion models with a few images raises potential legal and ethical concerns regarding privacy and intellectual property rights. Researchers attempt to prevent malicious personalization using adversarial perturbations. However, previous efforts have mainly
The challenge of multimodal semantic segmentation lies in establishing semantically consistent and segmentable multimodal fusion features under conditions of significant visual feature discrepancies. Existing methods commonly construct cross-modal self-attention fusion frameworks or introduce additi…
Despite the remarkable advances that have been made in continual learning, the adversarial vulnerability of such methods has not been fully discussed. We delve into the adversarial robustness of memory-based continual learning algorithms and observe limited robustness improvement by directly applyin…
Diffusion transformers have shown exceptional performance in visual generation but incur high computational costs. Token reduction techniques that compress models by sharing the denoising process among similar tokens have been introduced. However, existing approaches neglect the denoising priors of…
Fine-tuning vision-language models (VLMs) with large amounts of unlabeled data has recently garnered significant interest. However, a key challenge remains the lack of high-quality pseudo-labeled data. Current pseudo-labeling strategies often struggle with mismatches between semantic and visual info…
Garment grasping in low-light environments is a critical challenge for domestic intelligent robots, yet existing research has not sufficiently addressed this issue. In low-light conditions, the scarcity of visual features due to insufficient illumination causes different categories of garments to ex
Though Rectified Flows (ReFlows) with distillation offer a promising way for fast sampling, its fast inversion transforms images back to structured noise for recovery and following editing remains unsolved. This paper introduces FireFlow, an embarrassingly simple yet effective zero-shot approach tha…
Many real-world applications, such as interactive photo retouching, artistic content creation, and product design, require flexible and iterative image editing. However, existing image editing methods primarily focus on achieving the desired modifications in a single step, which often struggles with…
Deploying style transfer methods on resource-constrained devices is challenging, which limits their real-world applicability. To tackle this issue, we propose using pruning techniques to accelerate various visual style transfer methods. We argue that typical pruning methods may not be well-suited fo…

With the development of diffusion models, text-guided image style transfer has demonstrated great controllable and high-quality results. However, the utilization of text for diverse music style transfer poses significant challenges, primarily due to the limited availability of matched audio-text dat…
In this paper, we reveal the two sides of data augmentation: enhancements in closed-set recognition correlate with a significant decrease in open-set recognition. Through empirical investigation, we find that multi-sample-based augmentations would contribute to reducing feature discrimination, there…
Despite the remarkable progress in image style transfer formulating style in the context of art is inherently subjective and challenging. In contrast to existing methods this study shows that vanilla diffusion models can directly extract style information and seamlessly integrate the generative prio…
The detector-free feature matching approaches are currently attracting great attention thanks to their excellent performance.

The artistic style within a painting is the means of expression, which includes not only the painting material, colors, and brushstrokes, but also the high-level attributes, including semantic elements and object shapes. Previous arbitrary example-guided artistic image generation methods often fail…
Despite the remarkable progress in generative technology, the Janus-faced issues of intellectual property protection and malicious content supervision have arisen.

Object detection under imperfect data receives great attention recently. Weakly supervised object detection (WSOD) suffers from severe localization issues due to the lack of instance-level annotation, while semi-supervised object detection (SSOD) remains challenging led by the inter-image discrepanc…
The goal of image style transfer is to render an image with artistic features guided by a style reference while maintaining the original content. Owing to the locality in convolutional neural networks (CNNs), extracting and maintaining the global information of input images is difficult. Therefore,…
