Calibrated Knowledge Aggregation in Bayesian Mixture-of-Experts for Continual VQA

ICML 2026poster

Continual learning for visual question answering (VQA) is typically implemented by training one expert per task and routing each query using task-ID supervision. Yet continual VQA tasks overlap substantially: on the VQA-v2 task stream, a non-native expert outperforms the task’s own expert on $49.9\%…

Knowledge Exchange with Confidence: Cost-Effective LLM Integration for Reliable and Efficient Visual Question Answering

ICLR 2026poster

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have improved the accuracy of visual question answering (VQA) systems. However, directly applying LLMs to VQA still presents several challenges: (a) suboptimal performance when handling questions from specialized domains, (b) higher computational costs…

The Road Less Seen: Segment Exploration for Weakly Supervised Video Anomaly Detection

CVPR 2026

Weakly supervised learning (WSL) provides a cost-effective learning paradigm for video anomaly detection (VAD) from data with video-level annotation instead of requiring costly fine-grained segment-level annotation. Although contemporary methods have shown promising results on challenging real-world

GLEN: Generalized Focal Loss Ensemble of Low-Rank Networks for Calibrated Visual Question Answering

AAAI 2025technical

Deep learning models with large-scale backbones have been increasingly adopted to tackle complex visual question answering (VQA) problems in real settings. While providing powerful learning capacities to handle the high-dimensional and multimodal VQA data, these models tend to suffer from the memori…

Adaptive Important Region Selection with Reinforced Hierarchical Search for Dense Object Detection

NeurIPS 2024poster

Existing state-of-the-art dense object detection techniques tend to produce a large number of false positive detections on difficult images with complex scenes because they focus on ensuring a high recall. To improve the detection accuracy, we propose an Adaptive Important Region Selection (AIRS) fr…

Distributionally Robust Ensemble of Lottery Tickets Towards Calibrated Sparse Network Training

NeurIPS 2023poster

The recently developed sparse network training methods, such as Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (LTH) and its variants, have shown impressive learning capacity by finding sparse sub-networks from a dense one. While these methods could largely sparsify deep networks, they generally focus more on realizing…

Distributionally Robust Optimization for Deep Kernel Multiple Instance Learning

AISTATS 2021poster

Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) provides a promising solution to many real-world problems, where labels are only available at the bag level but missing for instances due to a high labeling cost. As a powerful Bayesian non-parametric model, Gaussian Processes (GP) have been extended from classical s…
