Attend Before Attention: Efficient and Scalable Video Understanding via Autoregressive Gazing

CVPR 2026

Multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) have advanced general-purpose video understanding but struggle with long, high-resolution videos---they process every pixel equally in their vision transformers (ViTs) or LLMs despite significant spatiotemporal redundancy. We introduce AutoGaze, a lightweigh

Constantly Improving Image Models Need Constantly Improving Benchmarks

ICLR 2026poster

Recent advances in image generation, often driven by proprietary systems like GPT-4o Image Gen, regularly introduce new capabilities that reshape how users interact with these models. Existing benchmarks often lag behind and fail to capture these emerging use cases, leaving a gap between community p…

Describe Anything: Detailed Localized Image and Video Captioning

ICCV 2025poster

Generating detailed and accurate descriptions for specific regions in images and videos remains a fundamental challenge for vision-language models. We introduce the Describe Anything Model (DAM), a model designed for detailed localized captioning (DLC). DAM preserves both local details and global co…

Self-correcting LLM-controlled Diffusion Models

CVPR 2024poster

Text-to-image generation has witnessed significant progress with the advent of diffusion models. Despite the ability to generate photorealistic images current text-to-image diffusion models still often struggle to accurately interpret and follow complex input text prompts. In contrast to existing mo…

Unsupervised Universal Image Segmentation

CVPR 2024poster

Several unsupervised image segmentation approaches have been proposed which eliminate the need for dense manually-annotated segmentation masks; current models separately handle either semantic segmentation (e.g. STEGO) or class-agnostic instance segmentation (e.g. CutLER) but not both (i.e. panoptic…

Bootstrapping Objectness From Videos by Relaxed Common Fate and Visual Grouping

CVPR 2023poster

We study learning object segmentation from unlabeled videos. Humans can easily segment moving objects without knowing what they are. The Gestalt law of common fate, i.e., what move at the same speed belong together, has inspired unsupervised object discovery based on motion segmentation. However, co…

Q-Diffusion: Quantizing Diffusion Models

ICCV 2023poster

Diffusion models have achieved great success in image synthesis through iterative noise estimation using deep neural networks. However, the slow inference, high memory consumption, and computation intensity of the noise estimation model hinder the efficient adoption of diffusion models. Although pos…

Unsupervised Selective Labeling for More Effective Semi-Supervised Learning

ECCV 2022poster

"Given an unlabeled dataset and an annotation budget, we study how to selectively label a fixed number of instances so that semi-supervised learning (SSL) on such a partially labeled dataset is most effective. We focus on selecting the right data to label, in addition to usual SSL’s propagating labe…

Long-tailed Recognition by Routing Diverse Distribution-Aware Experts

ICLR 2021spotlight

Natural data are often long-tail distributed over semantic classes. Existing recognition methods tackle this imbalanced classification by placing more emphasis on the tail data, through class re-balancing/re-weighting or ensembling over different data groups, resulting in increased tail accuracies…
