Arbitrary style transfer (AST), a popular AI-powered photo editing function, aims to strike an optimal balance between content and style injection from two images in order to generate a novel high-fidelity stylised image. Recently, diffusion models have been applied to AST due to their high generati
Infectious diseases have historically had profound effects on global health, economies, and social structures. Effective tracing of infectious diseases is essential not only for immediate public health responses but also for shaping future prevention strategies. Traditional tracing methods often emp…
Personalized federated learning (PFL) on graphs is an emerging field focusing on the collaborative development of architectures across multiple clients, each with distinct graph data distributions while adhering to strict privacy standards. This area often requires extensive expert intervention in m…
Unauthorised face recognition (FR) systems have posed significant threats to digital identity and privacy protection. To alleviate the risk of compromised identities, recent makeup transfer-based attack methods embed adversarial signals in order to confuse unauthorised FR systems. However, their maj…
Accurate identification of protein nucleic acid binding residues poses a significant challenge with important implications for various biological processes and drug design. Many typical computational methods for protein analysis rely on a single model that could ignore either the semantic context of…
Event-based semantic segmentation has gained popularity due to its capability to deal with scenarios under high-speed motion and extreme lighting conditions which cannot be addressed by conventional RGB cameras. Since it is hard to annotate event data previous approaches rely on event-to-image recon…
The field of 4D point cloud understanding is rapidly developing with the goal of analyzing dynamic 3D point cloud sequences. However, it remains a challenging task due to the sparsity and lack of texture in point clouds. Moreover, the irregularity of point cloud poses a difficulty in aligning tempo…
Information diffusion problems, such as the spread of epidemics or rumors, are widespread in society. The inverse problems of graph diffusion, which involve locating the sources and identifying the paths of diffusion based on currently observed diffusion graphs, are crucial to controlling the spread…
Scene text image super-resolution (STISR) in the wild has been shown to be beneficial to support improved vision-based text recognition from low-resolution imagery. An intuitive way to enhance STISR performance is to explore the well-structured and repetitive layout characteristics of text and explo…
Synthesis-based steganography without embedding (SWE) methods transform secret messages to container images synthesised by generative networks, which eliminates distortions of container images and thus can fundamentally resist typical steganalysis tools. However, existing methods suffer from weak me…
Conventional steganography approaches embed a secret message into a carrier for concealed communication but are prone to attack by recent advanced steganalysis tools. In this paper, we propose Image DisEntanglement Autoencoder for Steganography (IDEAS) as a novel steganography without embedding (SWE…
Photorealistic style transfer is the task of transferring the artistic style of an image onto a content target, producing a result that is plausibly taken with a camera. Recent approaches, based on deep neural networks, produce impressive results but are either too slow to run at practical resolutio…
