In episodic memory with natural language queries (EM-NLQ), a user may ask a question (e.g., "Where did I place the mug?") that requires searching a long egocentric video, captured from the user's perspective, to find the moment that answers it. However, queries can be ambiguous or incomplete, leadin
Structuring latent representations in a hierarchical manner enables models to learn patterns at multiple levels of abstraction. However, most prevalent image understanding models focus on visual similarity, and learning visual hierarchies is relatively unexplored. In this work, for the first time, w…
Novel-view synthesis through diffusion models has demonstrated remarkable potential for generating diverse and high-quality images. Yet the independent process of image generation in these prevailing methods leads to challenges in maintaining multiple-view consistency. To address this we introduce V…
Interactive retrieval for online fashion shopping provides the ability of changing image retrieval results according to the user feedback. One common problem in interactive retrieval is that a specific user interaction (e.g., changing the color of a T-shirt) causes other aspects to change inadverten…
Cross-modal recipe retrieval has recently gained substantial attention due to the importance of food in people's lives, as well as the availability of vast amounts of digital cooking recipes and food images to train machine learning models. In this work, we revisit existing approaches for cross-moda…
Image search with text feedback has promising impacts in various real-world applications, such as e-commerce and internet search. Given a reference image and text feedback from user, the goal is to retrieve images that not only resemble the input image, but also change certain aspects in accordance…
Interactive image retrieval is an emerging research topic with the objective of integrating inputs from multiple modalities as query for retrieval, e.g., textual feedback from users to guide, modify or refine image retrieval. In this work, we study the problem of composing images and textual modific…
In many computer vision tasks, the relevant information to solve the problem at hand is mixed to irrelevant, distracting information. This has motivated researchers to design attentional models that can dynamically focus on parts of images or videos that are salient, e.g., by down-weighting irreleva…
This paper presents a novel framework for visual object recognition using infinite-dimensional covariance operators of input features, in the paradigm of kernel methods on infinite-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. Our formulation provides a rich representation of image features by exploiting their…
