Preference optimization for diffusion models relies on reward functions that are both discriminative and computationally efficient. Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have emerged as powerful reward providers. However, their computation and memory cost can be substantial, and optimizing a latent diffusio…
Approximately 445.2 million individuals worldwide are living with traumatic amputations, and an estimated 31.64 million children aged 0–14 have congenital limb differences, yet they remain largely underrepresented in human pose estimation (HPE) research. Accurate HPE could significantly benefit this…
Understanding high-resolution (HR) images remains a critical challenge for multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Recent approaches leverage vision-based retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to retrieve query-relevant crops from HR images, improving understanding capacity of MLLMs. However, this
In this position paper, we argue that human-centric vision requires skeletal-topology generalization beyond fixed skeletons. Mainstream pose and body pipelines enforce a fixed skeleton graph with an indexed joint list and fixed adjacency, so the fixed joint inventory does not cover structural absenc…
Single-image human mesh recovery provides a compact 3D, person-centric representation that supports analysis, animation, AR and VR, rehabilitation, and human-computer interaction. However, prevailing systems impose an intact-limb prior and degrade on people with limb loss, because fixed-topology mod
Cross-view isolated sign language recognition (CV-ISLR) addresses the challenge of identifying isolated signs from viewpoints unseen during training, a problem aggravated by the scarcity of multi-view data in existing benchmarks.
