Text-to-image generative models have achieved impressive fidelity and diversity, but can inadvertently produce unsafe or undesirable content due to implicit biases embedded in large-scale training datasets.Existing concept erasure methods, whether text-only or image-assisted, face trade-offs: textua
Test-time adaptation for video understanding, which enables vision-language models (VLMs) to generalize to downstream tasks such as action recognition, has demonstrated substantial value in real-world applications. Existing memory-based methods typically build a visual cache from high-confidence tes
Temporal grounding in long, untrimmed videos is critical for real-world video understanding, yet it remains a challenging task owing to complex temporal structures and pervasive visual redundancy. Existing methods rely heavily on supervised training with task-specific annotations, which inherently l…
Vision-and-Language Navigation in Continuous Environment (VLN-CE) requires an agent to follow language instructions to navigate the target destination.

Text-to-motion generation, which synthesizes 3D human motions from text inputs, holds immense potential for applications in gaming, film, and robotics. Recently, diffusion-based methods have been shown to generate more diversity and realistic motion. However, there exists a misalignment between text
Visual data is typically a prerequisite for training existing video anomaly detection (VAD) methods. However, obtaining sufficient annotated anomaly data for training is challenging and not scalable due to the rarity of anomaly data and the wide variety of abnormal events. In this work, we advocate …
Aerial Action Recognition (AAR) in videos captured by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) plays a vital role in numerous applications. However, current methods related to traditional action recognition primarily cater to fixed or near cameras, and rarely consider the movement disturbance of UAVs, includ…
Compositional Zero-Shot Learning (CZSL) aims to recognize unseen combinations of known objects and attributes by leveraging knowledge from previously seen compositions. Traditional approaches primarily focus on disentangling attributes and objects, treating them as independent entities during learni…
Few-shot anomaly detection (FSAD) aims to detect unseen anomaly regions with the guidance of very few normal support images from the same class. Existing FSAD methods usually find anomalies by directly designing complex text prompts to align them with visual features under the prevailing large visio…
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) seeks to utilize semantic information from seen classes encountered during training to effectively recognize unseen classes during testing. When dealing with fine-grained images, capturing local features heavily influences the accuracy of semantic descriptions. Meanwhile, lo…
The primary challenge of cross-domain few-shot segmentation (CD-FSS) is the domain disparity between the training and inference phases, which can exist in either the input data or the target classes. Previous models struggle to learn feature representations that generalize to various unknown domains…
The combination of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Federated Learning (FL) to leverage privacy-preserving data has emerged as a promising approach to further enhance the Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) capabilities of LLMs. In real-world FL settings with resource heterogeneity, the training…
Contrastive learning has achieved great success in skeleton-based representation learning recently. However, the prevailing methods are predominantly negative-based, necessitating additional momentum encoder and memory bank to get negative samples, which increases the difficulty of model training. F…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) with Federated Learning (FL) can quickly adapt to privacy-sensitive tasks, but face significant challenges such as high communication costs and increased attack risks, due to their reliance on multi-round communication. To address this, One-shot FL (OFL) has…
The goal of this paper is to alleviate the training cost for few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) models. Despite that FSS in nature improves model generalization to new concepts using only a handful of test exemplars, it relies on strong supervision from a considerable amount of labeled training da…
This paper proposes an anchor-based deformation model, namely AnchorDEF, to predict 3D garment animation from a body motion sequence. It deforms a garment mesh template by a mixture of rigid transformations with extra nonlinear displacements. A set of anchors around the mesh surface is introduced to…
The key challenge for few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) is how to tailor a desirable interaction among support and query features and/or their prototypes, under the episodic training scenario.

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to recognize novel classes by transferring semantic knowledge from seen classes to unseen ones. Semantic knowledge is learned from attribute descriptions shared between different classes, which are strong prior for localization of object attribute for representing discr…
Few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) is an important task for novel (unseen) object segmentation under the data-scarcity scenario. However, most FSS methods rely on unidirectional feature aggregation, e.g., from support prototypes to get the query prediction, and from high-resolution features to gui…
