Handling large-scale incomplete multi-view data poses a significant challenge in unsupervised representation learning. While anchor-based strategies have alleviated computational burdens, they typically rely on shallow bipartite graphs restricted to pairwise relations, failing to capture complex hig…
Federated Class-Incremental Learning (FCIL) aims to continually expand a model’s recognition capacity in a distributed environment, enabling it to learn new classes while retaining knowledge of previously seen ones. Exemplar replay has emerged as a promising strategy owing to its simplicity and effe…
Multi-view clustering aims to obtain a consensus clustering by integrating complementary and consistent information from multiple views. However, two critical challenges still exist in variational methods: (1) view heterogeneity and noise often make fusion unreliable; (2) ambiguous posteriors and mi…
Causal inference has emerged as a promising approach for identifying decisive semantic factors and eliminating spurious correlations in visual representation learning. However, most existing methods rely on latent, data-driven confounder modeling, normally attributing the source of bias to backgroun
Exemplar replay has become an effective strategy for mitigating catastrophic forgetting in federated continual learning (FCL) by retaining representative samples from past tasks. Existing studies focus on designing sample-importance estimation mechanisms to identify information-rich samples. However
Video classification requires event-level representations of objects and their interactions. Existing methods typically rely on data-driven approaches, which either learn such features from whole frames or object-centric visual regions. Therefore, the modeling of spatiotemporal interactions among ob
In recent years, multi-view outlier detection (MVOD) has gained increasing attention, with the primary objective of recovering the underlying structure of normal data from outlier-contaminated multi-view datasets. However, this objective is hindered by two fundamental challenges:(i) outlier propagat…
