Massive human-related data is collected to train neural networks for computer vision tasks. A major conflict is exposed relating to software engineers between better developing AI systems and distancing from the sensitive training data. To reconcile this conflict, the paper proposes an efficient pri
Prompt learning has attracted widespread attention in adapting vision-language models to downstream tasks. Existing methods largely rely on optimization strategies to ensure the task-awareness of learnable prompts. Due to the scarcity of task-specific data, overfitting is prone to occur. The resulti…
"A picture is worth a thousand words", significantly beyond mere a categorization. Accompanied by that, many patches of the image could have completely irrelevant meanings with the categorization if they were independently observed. This could significantly reduce the efficiency of a large family of…
Transformer-based text-to-image synthesis generates images from abstractive textual conditions and achieves prompt results. Since transformer-based models predict visual tokens step by step in testing, where the early error is hard to be corrected and would be propagated. To alleviate this issue, th…
Object-guided text-to-image synthesis aims to generate images from natural language descriptions built by two-step frameworks, i.e., the model generates the layout and then synthesizes images from the layout and captions. However, such frameworks have two issues: 1) complex structure, since generati…
Few-shot learning aims to learn latent patterns from few training examples and has shown promises in practice. However, directly calculating the distances between the query image and support image in existing methods may cause ambiguity because dominant objects can locate anywhere on images. To addr…
