Distantly Supervised Named Entity Recognition (DS-NER) has attracted attention due to its scalability and ability to automatically generate labeled data. However, distant annotation introduces many mislabeled instances, limiting its performance. Most of the existing work attempt to solve this proble…
We present a taxonomy-driven framework for constructing domain-specific knowledge graphs (KGs) that integrates structured taxonomies, Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Although we focus on climate science to illustrate its effectiveness, our approach can potentia…
Localizing predefined 3D keypoints in a 2D image is an effective way to establish 3D-2D correspondences for instance-level 6DoF object pose estimation. However, unreliable localization results of invisible keypoints degrade the quality of correspondences. In this paper, we address this issue by loca
Homography describes the mapping relations of the same plane across views. In scenarios with multiple planes, single homography estimation aims to obtain the optimal solution generated by the largest consistent plane to obey the coplanar constraints. However, existing methods typically consider all…
Common approaches to image retrieval include contrastive methods and specialized loss functions such as ranking losses and entropy regularizers. We present DMCAC (Divergence Minimization with Cross-Attention Classification), a novel image retrieval method that offers a new perspective on this traini…
We present SciDMT, an enhanced and expanded corpus for scientific mention detection, offering a significant advancement over existing related resources. SciDMT contains annotated scientific documents for datasets (D), methods (M), and tasks (T). The corpus consists of two components: 1) the SciDMT m…
Scientific information extraction (SciIE) is critical for converting unstructured knowledge from scholarly articles into structured data (entities and relations). Several datasets have been proposed for training and validating SciIE models. However, due to the high complexity and cost of annotating…
Generating high-quality stitched images with natural structures is a challenging task in computer vision. In this paper, we succeed in preserving both local and global geometric structures for wide parallax images, while reducing artifacts and distortions. A projective invariant, Characteristic Numb…
This work studies the unsupervised re-ranking procedure for object retrieval and person re-identification with a specific concentration on an ensemble of multiple metrics (or similarities). While the re-ranking step is involved by running a diffusion process on the underlying data manifolds, the fus…
This paper addresses the problem of amodal perception of 3D object detection. The task is to not only find object localizations in the 3D world, but also estimate their physical sizes and poses, even if only parts of them are visible in the RGB-D image. Recent approaches have attempted to harness po…
As a postprocessing procedure, diffusion process has demonstrated its ability of substantially improving the performance of various visual retrieval systems. Whereas, great efforts are also devoted to similarity (or metric) fusion, seeing that only one individual type of similarity cannot fully reve…
Projective analysis is an important solution for 3D shape retrieval, since human visual perceptions of 3D shapes rely on various 2D observations from different view points. Although multiple informative and discriminative views are utilized, most projection-based retrieval systems suffer from heavy…
This paper addresses the problem of salient object detection. We introduce a novel framework which aims to automatically identify salient regions in natural images based on two key ideas. The first one is to consider the statistical spatial distribution of saliency and non-saliency regions as two co…
In this paper, we address the problem of semantic scene segmentation of RGB-D images of indoor scenes. We propose a novel image region labeling method which augments CRF formulation with hard mutual exclusion (mutex) constraints. This way our approach can make use of rich and accurate 3D geometric s…
