Learned image compression (LIC) outperforms traditional codecs but suffers from excessive peak memory usage when handling high-resolution images. Consequently, block-based LIC has been studied to reduce peak memory and peak computational cost, but it often introduces blocking artifacts that degrade
Recently, generalizable feed-forward methods based on 3D Gaussian Splatting have gained significant attention for their potential to reconstruct 3D scenes using finite resources. These approaches create a 3D radiance field, parameterized by per-pixel 3D Gaussian primitives, from just a few images in…
Knowledge-intensive queries require accurate answers that are explicitly grounded in retrieved evidence. However, existing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approaches often struggle with query complexity, suffer from propagated reasoning errors, or rely on incomplete or noisy retrieval, limiting
The advances in the Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) research offer extensive applications in diverse domains but protecting their copyrights has not yet been researched in depth. Recently NeRF watermarking has been considered one of the pivotal solutions for safely deploying NeRF-based 3D representati…
We study the capabilities of speech processing systems trained simply to predict large amounts of transcripts of audio on the internet. When scaled to 680,000 hours of multilingual and multitask supervision, the resulting models generalize well to standard benchmarks and are often competitive with p…
Large pre-trained models such as CLIP or ALIGN offer consistent accuracy across a range of data distributions when performing zero-shot inference (i.e., without fine-tuning on a specific dataset). Although existing fine-tuning methods substantially improve accuracy on a given target distribution, th…
State-of-the-art computer vision systems are trained to predict a fixed set of predetermined object categories. This restricted form of supervision limits their generality and usability since additional labeled data is needed to specify any other visual concept. Learning directly from raw text about…
The recent success of raw audio waveform synthesis models like WaveNet motivates a new approach for music synthesis, in which the entire process - creating audio samples from a score and instrument information - is modeled using generative neural networks. This paper describes a neural music synthes…
The task of estimating the fundamental frequency of a monophonic sound recording, also known as pitch tracking, is fundamental to audio processing with multiple applications in speech processing and music information retrieval. To date, the best performing techniques, such as the pYIN algorithm, are…
