Recent generative pre-trained vision–language (GPTv) models have achieved remarkable success in multi-modal understanding, inspiring their adaptation to medical imaging tasks such as disease diagnosis and visual question answering (VQA). However, current instruction-tuned GPTv models suffer from two…
Subject-driven generation faces a fundamental challenge: achieving high subject fidelity while maintaining semantic alignment with textual descriptions. While recent GRPO-based approaches have shown promise in aligning generative models with human preferences, they apply uniform optimization across…
Multi-subject personalized image generation aims to synthesize customized images containing multiple specified subjects without requiring test-time optimization. However, achieving fine-grained independent control over multiple subjects remains challenging due to difficulties in preserving subject f
Multi-subject personalized generation presents unique challenges in maintaining identity fidelity and semantic coherence when synthesizing images conditioned on multiple reference subjects. Existing methods often suffer from identity blending and attribute leakage due to inadequate modeling of how d…
Long video generation with Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) is bottlenecked by the quadratic scaling of full attention with sequence length. Since attention is highly redundant, outputs are dominated by a small subset of query–key pairs. Existing sparse methods rely on blockwise coarse estimation, whos…
One-dimensional (1D) visual tokenizers offer notable semantic compactness by discarding local spatial priors, and have become increasingly popular for image reconstruction and generation tasks. However, such global and sequential representations struggle to preserve fine-grained visual content; simp
Recent proprietary models such as Sora2 demonstrate promising progress in generating multi-shot videos conditioned on multiple reference characters. However, academic research on this problem remains limited. We study this task and identify a core challenge: when reference images exhibit highly simi
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) shows its great importance in imaging microvascular networks by providing accurate 3D imaging of blood vessels, but it relies upon specialized sensors and expensive devices. For this reason, previous works show the potential to translate the readily av…
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are broadly empowering various fields. Despite their advancements, the explainability of MLLMs remains less explored, hindering deeper understanding, model credibility, and effective visualization. Unlike conventional vision models (e.g., CNNs, ViTs, CLIP) th…
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an important imaging technology widely used in medical scenarios such as diagnosis and preoperative planning. Using fewer projection views to reconstruct CT also known as sparse-view reconstruction can reduce ionizing radiation and further benefit intervention…
Cancer’s inherent heterogeneity demands a multimodal approach to provide an accurate prognosis, taking into account histological, clinical, and genomic data. As the field of artificial intelligence evolves with advancements in multimodal learning, its role in survival analysis becomes increasingly c…
Quantization has emerged as a promising direction for model compression. Recently, data-free quantization has been widely studied as a promising method to avoid privacy concerns, which synthesizes images as an alternative to real training data. Existing methods use classification loss to ensure the…
Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection refers to training the model on in-distribution (ID) dataset to classify if the input images come from unknown classes. Considerable efforts have been invested in designing various OOD detection methods based on either convolutional neural networks or transformers…
Data privacy and long-tailed distribution are the norms rather than the exception in many real-world tasks. This paper investigates a federated long-tailed learning (Fed-LT) task in which each client holds a locally heterogeneous dataset; if the datasets can be globally aggregated, they jointly exhi…
Though Self-supervised learning (SSL) has been widely studied as a promising technique for representation learning, it doesn't generalize well on long-tailed datasets due to the majority classes dominating the feature space. Recent work shows that the long-tailed learning performance could be booste…
Data imbalance and open-ended distribution are two intrinsic characteristics of the real visual world. Though encouraging progress has been made in tackling each challenge separately, few works dedicated to combining them towards real-world scenarios. While several previous works have focused on cla…
Existing image semantic segmentation methods favor learning consistent representations by extracting long-range contextual features with the attention, multi-scale, or graph aggregation strategies. These methods usually treat the misclassified and correctly classified pixels equally, hence misleadin…
"Long-tailed learning aims to tackle the crucial challenge that head classes dominate the training procedure under severe class imbalance in real-world scenarios. However, little attention has been given to how to quantify the dominance severity of head classes in the representation space. Motivated…
