ETA: Energy-based Test-time Adaptation for Depth Completion

ICCV 2025poster

We propose a method of adapting pretrained depth completion models to test time data in an unsupervised manner. Depth completion models are (pre)trained to produce dense depth maps from pairs of RGB image and sparse depth maps in ideal capture conditions (source domain), e.g., well-illuminated, high…

Progressive Test Time Energy Adaptation for Medical Image Segmentation

ICCV 2025poster

We propose a model-agnostic, progressive test-time energy adaptation approach for medical image segmentation. Maintaining model performance across diverse medical datasets is challenging, as distribution shifts arise from inconsistent imaging protocols and patient variations. Unlike domain adaptatio…

Adaptive Correspondence Scoring for Unsupervised Medical Image Registration

ECCV 2024oral

"We propose an adaptive training scheme for unsupervised medical image registration. Existing methods rely on image reconstruction as the primary supervision signal. However, nuisance variables (e.g. noise and covisibility), violation of the Lambertian assumption in physical waves (e.g. ultrasound),…

Calibrating Multi-modal Representations: A Pursuit of Group Robustness without Annotations

CVPR 2024poster

Fine-tuning pre-trained vision-language models like CLIP has yielded success on diverse downstream tasks. However several pain points persist for this paradigm: (i) directly tuning entire pre-trained models becomes both time-intensive and computationally costly. Additionally these tuned models tend…

Symmetric Consistency with Cross-Domain Mixup for Cross-Modality Cardiac Segmentation

ICASSP 2024accepted

Accurate cardiac segmentation in cross-modality images plays an important role in the quantitative analysis of the heart to diagnose cardiovascular diseases. However, achieving high performance in cross-modality segmentation is hindered by the time-consuming annotation and modality gap. While some a…

Rethinking Semi-Supervised Medical Image Segmentation: A Variance-Reduction Perspective

NeurIPS 2023poster

For medical image segmentation, contrastive learning is the dominant practice to improve the quality of visual representations by contrasting semantically similar and dissimilar pairs of samples. This is enabled by the observation that without accessing ground truth labels, negative examples with tr…

Class-Aware Adversarial Transformers for Medical Image Segmentation

NeurIPS 2022accept

Transformers have made remarkable progress towards modeling long-range dependencies within the medical image analysis domain. However, current transformer-based models suffer from several disadvantages: (1) existing methods fail to capture the important features of the images due to the naive tokeni…

Surrogate Gap Minimization Improves Sharpness-Aware Training

ICLR 2022poster

The recently proposed Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) improves generalization by minimizing a perturbed loss defined as the maximum loss within a neighborhood in the parameter space. However, we show that both sharp and flat minima can have a low perturbed loss, implying that SAM does not alw…

MALI: A memory efficient and reverse accurate integrator for Neural ODEs

ICLR 2021poster

Neural ordinary differential equations (Neural ODEs) are a new family of deep-learning models with continuous depth. However, the numerical estimation of the gradient in the continuous case is not well solved: existing implementations of the adjoint method suffer from inaccuracy in reverse-time traj…

Momentum Centering and Asynchronous Update for Adaptive Gradient Methods

NeurIPS 2021poster

We propose ACProp (Asynchronous-centering-Prop), an adaptive optimizer which combines centering of second momentum and asynchronous update (e.g. for $t$-th update, denominator uses information up to step $t-1$, while numerator uses gradient at $t$-th step). ACProp has both strong theoretical proper…
