Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in vision-language understanding, yet they still struggle with fine-grained perception in high-resolution images. While existing training-free methods typically rely on attention-based localization or coarse-to-fine s…
Pre-trained foundation models have demonstrated remarkable success in many domains, enabling a unified backbone to generalize across diverse downstream tasks. However, extending this paradigm to graph learning remains challenging due to the intrinsic mismatch between graph data and fixed architectur…
Graph neural networks (GNNs) tightly couple their input-output parameters to dataset-specific feature spaces and target sets, exhibiting limited transferability across different datasets. In contrast, language models (LMs) generalize flexibly via a unified input-output interface, motivating recent a…
Lifelong knowledge editing enables continuous, precise updates to outdated knowledge in large language models (LLMs) without computationally expensive full retraining. However, existing methods often accumulate errors throughout the editing process, causing a gradual decline in both editing accuracy…
The visual representation of a pre-trained model prioritizes the classifiability on downstream tasks, while the widespread applications for pre-trained visual models have posed new requirements for representation interpretability. However, it remains unclear whether the pre-trained representations c…
With the explosive growth of video data, finding videos that meet detailed requirements in large datasets has become a challenge. To address this, the composed video retrieval task has been introduced, enabling users to retrieve videos using complex queries that involve both visual and textual infor…
Graph attention has demonstrated superior performance in graph learning tasks. However, learning from global interactions can be challenging due to the large number of nodes. In this paper, we discover a new phenomenon termed over-aggregating. Over-aggregating arises when a large volume of messages…
The alignment of vision-language representations endows current Vision-Language Models (VLMs) with strong multi-modal reasoning capabilities. However, the interpretability of the alignment component remains uninvestigated due to the difficulty in mapping the semantics of multi-modal representations…
The development of self-supervised video-language models based on mask learning has significantly advanced downstream video tasks. These models leverage masked reconstruction to facilitate joint learning of visual and linguistic information. However, recent study reveals that reconstructing image fe…
Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) is an effective method for adapting pre-trained vision models to downstream tasks by tuning a small subset of parameters. Among PEFT methods, sparse tuning achieves superior performance by only adjusting the weights most relevant to downstream tasks, rather tha…
Message passing plays a vital role in graph neural networks (GNNs) for effective feature learning. However, the over-reliance on input topology diminishes the efficacy of message passing and restricts the ability of GNNs. Despite efforts to mitigate the reliance, existing study encounters message-pa…
Compared to Euclidean convolution, existing graph convolution methods generally fail to learn diverse convolution operators under limited parameter scales and depend on additional treatments of multi-scale feature extraction. The challenges of generalizing Euclidean convolution to graphs arise from…
