The exorbitant cost of training Large Language Models (LLMs) makes it essential to protect the models from illegal copying and unauthorized usage. Recent attempts at LLM protection utilize black-box watermarking schemes, which embed distinctive input-output mapping (i.e., trigger set) directly into…
Text-to-image models have shown surprising performance in high-quality image generation, while also raising intensified concerns about the unauthorized usage of personal dataset in training and personalized fine-tuning. Recent approaches, embedding watermarks, introducing perturbations, and insertin…
Multi-modal Event Reasoning (MMER) endeavors to endow machines with the ability to comprehend intricate event relations across diverse data modalities. MMER is fundamental and underlies a wide broad of applications. Despite extensive instruction fine-tuning, current multi-modal large language models…
We present a simple but effective pixel-level self-supervised distillation framework friendly to dense prediction tasks. Our method, called Pixel-Wise Contrastive Distillation (PCD), distills knowledge by attracting the corresponding pixels from student's and teacher's output feature maps. PCD inclu…
"We focus on better understanding the critical factors of augmentation-invariant representation learning. We revisit MoCo v2 and BYOL and try to prove the authenticity of the following assumption: different frameworks bring about representations of different characteristics even with the same pretex…
