Curriculum Group Policy Optimization: Adaptive Sampling for Unleashing the Potential of Text-to-Image Generation

CVPR 2026

Text-to-Image (T2I) generation has achieved remarkable progress in recent years. Meanwhile, reinforcement learning methods, particularly those based on Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), have attracted widespread attention and been successfully applied to T2I tasks. However, the uniform samp

EthoCLIP: Ontology-Enhanced Video-Language Pretraining for Animal Behavior Understanding

CVPR 2026

Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable success across numerous domains, yet they lag significantly in animal behavior understanding due to severe data scarcity. Annotated animal behavior videos are prohibitively expensive and time-consuming to collect, requiring domain expertise and

Geometric Image Editing via Effects-Sensitive In-Context Inpainting with Diffusion Transformers

ICLR 2026poster

Recent advances in diffusion models have significantly improved image editing. However, challenges persist in handling geometric transformations, such as translation, rotation, and scaling, particularly in complex scenes. Existing approaches suffer from two main limitations: (1) difficulty in achiev…

MMBench-Live: A Continuously Evolving Benchmark for Multimodal Models

ICML 2026poster

Evaluation benchmarks play a central role in assessing vision–language models (VLMs). However, most existing multimodal benchmarks are static, making them increasingly vulnerable to data contamination, temporal staleness, and high construction costs. In this work, we introduce MMBench-Live, a multi-…

MedReasoner: Reinforcement Learning Drives Reasoning Grounding from Clinical Thought to Pixel-Level Precision

AAAI 2026technical

Accurately grounding regions of interest (ROIs) is critical for diagnosis and treatment planning in medical imaging. While multimodal large language models (MLLMs) combine visual perception with natural language, current medical-grounding pipelines still rely on supervised fine-tuning with explicit

CineTechBench: A Benchmark for Cinematographic Technique Understanding and Generation

NeurIPS 2025poster

Cinematography is a cornerstone of film production and appreciation, shaping mood, emotion, and narrative through visual elements such as camera movement, shot composition, and lighting. Despite recent progress in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) and video generation models, the capacity of…

ConMo: Controllable Motion Disentanglement and Recomposition for Zero-Shot Motion Transfer

CVPR 2025poster

The development of Text-to-Video (T2V) generation has made motion transfer possible, enabling the control of video motion based on existing footage. However, current methods have two limitations: 1) struggle to handle multi-subjects videos, failing to transfer specific subject motion; 2) struggle to…

FairHuman: Boosting Hand and Face Quality in Human Image Generation with Minimum Potential Delay Fairness in Diffusion Models

ICCV 2025poster

Image generation has achieved remarkable progress with the development of large-scale text-to-image models, especially diffusion-based models. However, generating human images with plausible details, such as faces or hands, remains challenging due to insufficient supervision of local regions during…

Animal-Bench: Benchmarking Multimodal Video Models for Animal-centric Video Understanding

NeurIPS 2024poster

With the emergence of large pre-trained multimodal video models, multiple benchmarks have been proposed to evaluate model capabilities. However, most of the benchmarks are human-centric, with evaluation data and tasks centered around human applications. Animals are an integral part of the natural wo…

Benchmarking Segmentation Models with Mask-Preserved Attribute Editing

CVPR 2024poster

When deploying segmentation models in practice it is critical to evaluate their behaviors in varied and complex scenes. Different from the previous evaluation paradigms only in consideration of global attribute variations (e.g. adverse weather) we investigate both local and global attribute variatio…

Dual-Prior Augmented Decoding Network for Long Tail Distribution in HOI Detection

AAAI 2024technical

Human object interaction detection aims at localizing human-object pairs and recognizing their interactions. Trapped by the long-tailed distribution of the data, existing HOI detection methods often have difficulty recognizing the tail categories. Many approaches try to improve the recognition of HO…

Multi-Head Uncertainty Inference for Adversarial Attack Detection

ICASSP 2023accepted

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are sensitive and susceptible to tiny perturbations by adversarial attacks which cause erroneous predictions. Various methods, including adversarial defense and uncertainty inference (UI), have been developed to overcome adversarial attacks in recent years. In this paper,…

On-the-Fly Category Discovery

CVPR 2023poster

Although machines have surpassed humans on visual recognition problems, they are still limited to providing closed-set answers. Unlike machines, humans can cognize novel categories at the first observation. Novel category discovery (NCD) techniques, transferring knowledge from seen categories to dis…

Semantic Centralized Contrastive Learning for Unsupervised Hashing

ICASSP 2023accepted

Contrastive learning has shown its potential in many unsupervised tasks, including hashing. However, the representations obtained by contrastive learning generally fail to produce no-table margins between semantic classes. Different semantic samples around the boundary are likely to collide into the…

Semantic Memory Guided Image Representation for Polyp Segmentation

ICASSP 2023accepted

Polyp segmentation is important in the early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. Since polyps vary in shape, size, color, and texture, accurate polyp segmentation is very challenging. One promising solution is to model the contextual relation for each pixel. However, previous methods only…

Super-Resolution Information Enhancement for Crowd Counting

ICASSP 2023accepted

Crowd counting is a challenging task due to the heavy occlusions, scales, and density variations. Existing methods handle these challenges effectively while ignoring low-resolution (LR) circumstances. The LR circumstances weaken the counting performance deeply for two crucial reasons: 1) limited det…

Learning Invariant Visual Representations for Compositional Zero-Shot Learning

ECCV 2022poster

"Compositional Zero-Shot Learning (CZSL) aims to recognize novel compositions using knowledge learned from seen attribute-object compositions in the training set. Previous works mainly project an image and a composition into a common embedding space to measure their compatibility score. However, bot…
