Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) for web search is prohibitively expensive due to long context lengths and costly environment interactions, and this inefficiency is further exacerbated by GRPO-based optimization, which discards learning signals from entire rollout groups with zero reward variance…
Forecasting fetal growth from sequential ultrasound examinations is essential for personalized prenatal care. Existing medical vision-language models (MLLMs) are limited to single-phase/organ evaluations and qualitative reasoning, neglecting longitudinal history and precise continuous biometric valu
Continuous prediction in complex environments is critical for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). However, the existing Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) models follows the dead-reckoning, which iteratively predicts the next waypoint and updates its position, thereby constructing the complete trajectory. …
Vision-Language Models (VLMs), such as CLIP, have demonstrated remarkable zero-shot capabilities in various computer vision tasks. However, their application to medical imaging remains challenging due to the high variability and complexity of medical data. Specifically, medical images often exhibit
Concept-based models can map black-box representations to human-understandable concepts, which makes the decision-making process more transparent and then allows users to understand the reason behind predictions. However, domain-specific concepts often impact the final predictions, which subsequentl…
Novel view synthesis under sparse views has been a long-term important challenge in 3D reconstruction. Existing works mainly rely on introducing external semantic or depth priors to supervise the optimization of 3D representations. However, the diffusion model, as an external prior that can directly…
The success of contrastive language-image pretraining (CLIP) relies on the supervision from the pairing between images and captions which tends to be noisy in web-crawled data. We present Mixture of Data Experts (MoDE) and learn a system of CLIP data experts via clustering. Each data expert is train…
Automated Chinese ancient character restoration (ACACR) remains a challenging task due to its historical significance and aesthetic complexity. Existing methods are constrained by non-professional masks and even overfitting when training on small-scale datasets, which hinder their interdisciplinary…
Generalized few-shot object detection aims to achieve precise detection on both base classes with abundant annotations and novel classes with limited training data. Existing approaches enhance few-shot generalization with the sacrifice of base-class performance, or maintain high precision in base-cl…
Vision Transformers (ViTs) emerge to achieve impressive performance on many data-abundant computer vision tasks by capturing long-range dependencies among local features. However, under few-shot learning (FSL) settings on small datasets with only a few labeled data, ViT tends to overfit and suffers…
Video representation learning has been successful in video-text pre-training for zero-shot transfer, where each sentence is trained to be close to the paired video clips in a common feature space. For long videos, given a paragraph of description where the sentences describe different segments of th…
"Few-shot object detection (FSOD) aims to detect objects of new classes and learn effective models without exhaustive annotation. The end-to-end detection framework has been proposed to generate sparse proposals and set a stack of detection heads to improve the performance. For each proposal, the pr…
Due to the variance of optical properties across different people, the performance of a person-agnostic gaze estimation model may not generalize well on a specific person. Though one may achieve better performance by training a person-specific model, it typically requires a large number of samples w…
Few-shot object detection (FSOD), with the aim to detect novel objects using very few training examples, has recently attracted great research interest in the community. Metric-learning based methods have been demonstrated to be effective for this task using a two-branch based siamese network, and c…
Few-shot object detection (FSOD) aims to detect objects using only a few examples. How to adapt state-of-the-art object detectors to the few-shot domain remains challenging. Object proposal is a key ingredient in modern object detectors. However, the quality of proposals generated for few-shot class…
We study the problem of few-shot open-set recognition (FSOR), which learns a recognition system capable of both fast adaptation to new classes with limited labeled examples and rejection of unknown negative samples. Traditional large-scale open-set methods have been shown ineffective for FSOR proble…
To combat COVID-19, both clinicians and scientists need to digest the vast amount of relevant biomedical knowledge in literature to understand the disease mechanism and the related biological functions. We have developed a novel and comprehensive knowledge discovery framework, COVID-KG to extract fi…
Few-shot Learning has been studied to mimic human visual capabilities and learn effective models without the need of exhaustive human annotation. Even though the idea of meta-learning for adaptation has dominated the few-shot learning methods, how to train a feature extractor is still a challenge. I…
Few-shot object detection (FSOD) aims to detect never-seen objects using few examples. This field sees recent improvement owing to the meta-learning techniques by learning how to match between the query image and few-shot class examples, such that the learned model can generalize to few-shot novel c…
Coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) is an effective tool to capture real-world 3D hyperspectral images. While a number of existing work has been conducted for hardware and algorithm design, we make a step towards the low-cost solution that enjoys video-rate high-quality reconstruction.…
Snapshot compressive imaging (SCI) systems have been developed to capture high-dimensional (> 3) signals using low-dimensional off-the-shelf sensors, i.e., mapping multiple video frames into a single measurement frame. One key module of a SCI system is an accurate decoder that recovers the original…
