Learning general-purpose representations of geographic locations has become essential to geospatial tasks such as population estimation and environmental monitoring. To obtain such representations, multimodal geo-foundation models often use contrastive learning (CL) to align satellite imagery with g
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has emerged as a powerful pretraining strategy to learn transferable representations from unlabeled data. Yet, it remains unclear how long SSL models should be pretrained for such representations to emerge. Contrary to the prevailing heuristic that longer pretraining t…
As the use of artificial intelligence rapidly increases, the development of trustworthy artificial intelligence has become important. However, recent studies have shown that deep neural networks are susceptible to learn spurious correlations present in datasets. To improve the reliability, we propos…
Transfer learning is widely used for training deep neural networks (DNN) for building a powerful representation. Even after the pre-trained model is adapted for the target task, the representation performance of the feature extractor is retained to some extent. As the performance of the pre-trained…
"Pre-trained representation is one of the key elements in the success of modern deep learning. However, existing works on continual learning methods have mostly focused on learning models incrementally from scratch. In this paper, we explore an alternative framework to incremental learning where we…
In an attempt to imitate the success of transformers in the field of natural language processing into computer vision tasks, vision transformers (ViTs) have recently gained attention. Performance breakthroughs have been achieved in coarse-grained tasks like classification. However, dense prediction…
The depth completion task aims to predict a dense depth map from a sparse LiDAR point cloud and an RGB image. This task is critical because an accurate depth map can be used as prior information to solve many computer vision tasks, such as downstream tasks in autonomous vehicles and robot vision. Pr…
"Modern deep neural networks are equipped with normalization layers such as batch normalization or layer normalization to enhance and stabilize training dynamics. If a network contains such normalization layers, the optimization objective is invariant to the scale of the neural network parameters. T…
Pre-training vision-language models with contrastive objectives has shown promising results that are both scalable to large uncurated datasets and transferable to many downstream applications. Some following works have targeted to improve data efficiency by adding self-supervision terms, but inter-d…
In computer vision, monocular depth estimation is the problem of obtaining a high-quality depth map from a two-dimensional image. This map provides information on three-dimensional scene geometry, which is necessary for various applications in academia and industry, such as robotics and autonomous d…
We propose a quadratic penalty method for continual learning of neural networks that contain batch normalization (BN) layers. The Hessian of a loss function represents the curvature of the quadratic penalty function, and a Kronecker-factored approximate curvature (K-FAC) is used widely to practicall…
