A Sanity Check for Multi-In-Domain Face Forgery Detection in the Real World

CVPR 2026

Existing methods for deepfake detection aim to develop generalizable detectors. Although "generalizable" could be the ultimate target once and for all, with limited training forgeries and domains, it appears idealistic to expect generalization that covers entirely unseen variations, especially given

Do Less, Achieve More: Do We Need Every-Step Optimization for RL Fine-tuning of Diffusion Models?

CVPR 2026

Diffusion models have achieved outstanding success in image generation, yet their objectives are often limited to reconstruction, making it difficult to align with human preferences directly. Reinforcement learning (RL) offers a promising approach to address this by optimizing models using explicit

Reexamining the Exploration–Exploitation Dilemma from an Entropy-Driven Perspective

IJCAI 2026

Achieving an optimal balance between exploration and exploitation remains a fundamental challenge in reinforcement learning. This work revisits the exploration-exploitation dilemma through the lens of entropy, offering a novel perspective on this enduring problem. It establishes a theoretical connec

Towards Effective and Sparse Adversarial Attack on Spiking Neural Networks via Breaking Invisible Surrogate Gradients

CVPR 2025poster

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have shown their competence in handling spatial-temporal event-based data with low energy consumption. Similar to conventional artificial neural networks (ANNs), SNNs are also vulnerable to gradient-based adversarial attacks, wherein gradients are calculated by spatial…

Toward Robust Spiking Neural Network Against Adversarial Perturbation

NeurIPS 2022accept

As spiking neural networks (SNNs) are deployed increasingly in real-world efficiency critical applications, the security concerns in SNNs attract more attention. Currently, researchers have already demonstrated an SNN can be attacked with adversarial examples. How to build a robust SNN becomes an u…

ScaleCert: Scalable Certified Defense against Adversarial Patches with Sparse Superficial Layers

NeurIPS 2021poster

Adversarial patch attacks that craft the pixels in a confined region of the input images show their powerful attack effectiveness in physical environments even with noises or deformations. Existing certified defenses towards adversarial patch attacks work well on small images like MNIST and CIFAR-10…

TETRIS: TilE-matching the TRemendous Irregular Sparsity

NeurIPS 2018poster

Compressing neural networks by pruning weights with small magnitudes can significantly reduce the computation and storage cost. Although pruning makes the model smaller, it is difficult to get practical speedup in modern computing platforms such as CPU and GPU due to the irregularity. Structural pru…
