Time series analysis is crucial in various fields such as healthcare and finance. However, environmental variations and the inherent non-stationarity of time series data often lead to out-of-distribution (OOD) scenarios, consequently causing model performance degradation. Most existing OOD generaliz
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data is a widely used kind of four-dimensional biomedical data, which requires effective compression. However, fMRI compressing poses unique challenges due to its intricate temporal dynamics, low signal-to-noise ratio, and complicated underlying redundanc…
Recent advancements in computer vision have seen Implicit Neural Representations (INR) becoming a dominant representation form for data due to their compactness and expressive power. To solve various vision tasks with INR data, vision networks can either be purely INR-based, but are thereby limited…
Scientific discovery serves as the cornerstone for advances in various fields, from the fundamental laws of physics to the intricate mechanisms of biology. However, two existing mainstream methods---symbolic regression and dimensional analysis, are significantly limited in this task: the former suff…
We propose X-NeMo, a novel zero-shot diffusion-based portrait animation pipeline that animates a static portrait using facial movements from a driving video of a different individual. Our work first identifies the root causes of the limitations in prior approaches, such as identity leakage and diffi…
High-end lenses although offering high-quality images suffer from both insufficient affordability and bulky design which hamper their applications in low-budget scenarios or on low-payload platforms. A flexible scheme is to tackle the optical aberration of low-end lenses computationally. However it…
Causal discovery in time-series is a fundamental problem in the machine learning community, enabling causal reasoning and decision-making in complex scenarios. Recently, researchers successfully discover causality by combining neural networks with Granger causality, but their performances degrade la…
Time-series causal discovery (TSCD) is a fundamental problem of machine learning. However, existing synthetic datasets cannot properly evaluate or predict the algorithms' performance on real data. This study introduces the CausalTime pipeline to generate time-series that highly resemble the real da…
Solving partial differential equations (PDEs) has been a fundamental problem in computational science and of wide applications for both scientific and engineering research. Due to its universal approximation property, neural network is widely used to approximate the solutions of PDEs. However, exist…
Causal discovery from time-series data has been a central task in machine learning. Recently, Granger causality inference is gaining momentum due to its good explainability and high compatibility with emerging deep neural networks. However, most existing methods assume structured input data and dege…
Recently, some studies have shown that semantic and distortion representations both benefit the evaluation of image quality. However, the images of existing synthetic distortion databases are annotated with subjective quality scores and distortion types, lacking labels with semantic objects. Therefo…
Massive collection and explosive growth of biomedical data, demands effective compression for efficient storage, transmission and sharing. Readily available visual data compression techniques have been studied extensively but tailored for natural images/videos, and thus show limited performance on b…
The human vision system is highly adapted to extract structural information from the viewed scenes. The irregularity of point clouds makes the extraction of structural information containing both color and geometry an important challenge for point cloud quality assessment (PCQA). This paper proposes…
High quality imaging usually requires bulky and expensive lenses to compensate geometric and chromatic aberrations. This poses high constraints on the optical hash or low cost applications. Although one can utilize algorithmic reconstruction to remove the artifacts of low-end lenses, the degeneratio…
Snapshot compressive imaging (SCI) aims to capture the high-dimensional (usually 3D) images using a 2D sensor (detector) in a single snapshot. Though enjoying the advantages of low-bandwidth, low-power and low-cost, applying SCI to large-scale problems (HD or UHD videos) in our daily life is still c…
Optical aberration widely exists in optical imaging systems, especially in consumer-level cameras. In contrast to previous solutions using hardware compensation or pre-calibration, we propose a computational approach for blind aberration removal from a single image, by exploring various geometric an…
