Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) has become a popular way to adapt large pre-trained models to new tasks. Most PEFT methods update only a small subset of parameters while freezing the rest, avoiding redundant computation. As they maximize the absolute size of the updates without regard to the
Touch is a fundamental modality for conveying emotions and intentions in Human–Robot Interaction. However, conventional approaches to touch pattern recognition often lack robustness to inter-user variability, whereas alternative solutions are frequently bulky or costly. This study proposes a novel f…
Diffusion-based text-to-image (T2I) models have enabled remarkable generative capabilities, yet precise text-based image editing that preserves the original's structural and perceptual fidelity remains non-trivial. Existing approaches either rely on retraining with large bespoke datasets, incurring
Speech-driven 3D facial animation has garnered lots of attention thanks to its broad range of applications. Despite recent advancements in achieving realistic lip motion, current methods fail to capture the nuanced emotional undertones conveyed through speech and produce monotonous facial motion. Th…
Human motion is inherently continuous and dynamic, posing significant challenges for generative models. While discrete generation methods are widely used, they suffer from limited expressiveness and frame-wise noise artifacts. In contrast, continuous approaches produce smoother, more natural motion…
Predicting when to initiate speech in real-world environments remains a fundamental challenge for conversational agents. We introduce , a novel framework for real-time speech initiation prediction in egocentric streaming video. By modeling the conversation from the speaker’s first-person viewpoint,…
Expensive communication cost is a common performance bottleneck in Federated Learning (FL), which makes it less appealing in real-world applications. Many communication-efficient FL methods focus on discarding a part of model updates mostly based on gradient magnitude. In this study, we find that re…
To enable machines to understand the way humans interact with the physical world in daily life, 3D interaction signals should be captured in natural settings, allowing people to engage with multiple objects in a range of sequential and casual manipulations. To achieve this goal, we introduce our Par…
Nonverbal communication is integral to human interaction, with gestures, facial expressions, and body language conveying critical aspects of intent and emotion. However, existing large language models (LLMs) fail to effectively incorporate these nonverbal elements, limiting their capacity to create…
Even though an Under-Display Camera (UDC) is an advanced imaging system, the display panel significantly degrades captured images or videos, introducing low transmittance, blur, noise, and flare issues. Tackling such issues is challenging because of the complex degradation of UDCs, including diverse…
With growing interest in deploying text-to-video (T2V) models in resource-constrained environments, reducing their high computational cost has become crucial, leading to extensive research on pruning and knowledge distillation methods while maintaining performance. However, existing distillation met…
Abusive activity frequently occurs in various places, including nursing homes for the elderly. However, it is difficult to detect because it has various forms and is not easy to define. Therefore, in this study, we try to detect using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Data based on multimodali…
We propose TextManiA, a text-driven manifold augmentation method that semantically enriches visual feature spaces, regardless of class distribution. TextManiA augments visual data with intra-class semantic perturbation by exploiting easy-to-understand visually mimetic words, i.e., attributes. This w…
Blind non-uniform image deblurring for severe blurs induced by large motions is still challenging. Multi-scale (MS) approach has been widely used for deblurring that sequentially recovers the downsampled original image in low spatial scale first and then further restores in high spatial scale using…
