Leveraging Geometric Priors for Unaligned Scene Change Detection

ICRA 2026poster

Unaligned Scene Change Detection aims to detect scene changes between image pairs captured at different times without assuming viewpoint alignment. To handle viewpoint variations, current methods rely solely on 2D visual cues to establish cross-image correspondence to assist change detection. Howeve…

A Dual-Perspective NLG Meta-Evaluation Framework with Automatic Benchmark and Better Interpretability

ACL 2025long

In NLG meta-evaluation, evaluation metrics are typically assessed based on their consistency with humans. However, we identify some limitations in traditional NLG meta-evaluation approaches, such as issues in handling human ratings and ambiguous selections of correlation measures, which undermine th…

Analyzing and Evaluating Correlation Measures in NLG Meta-Evaluation

NAACL 2025long

The correlation between NLG automatic evaluation metrics and human evaluation is often regarded as a critical criterion for assessing the capability of an evaluation metric. However, different grouping methods and correlation coefficients result in various types of correlation measures used in meta-…

MMCR: Benchmarking Cross-Source Reasoning in Scientific Papers

ICCV 2025poster

Fully comprehending scientific papers by machines reflects a high level of Artificial General Intelligence, requiring the ability to reason across fragmented and heterogeneous sources of information, presenting a complex and practically significant challenge. While Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have…

OptiScene: LLM-driven Indoor Scene Layout Generation via Scaled Human-aligned Data Synthesis and Multi-Stage Preference Optimization

NeurIPS 2025poster

Automatic indoor layout generation has attracted increasing attention due to its potential in interior design, virtual environment construction, and embodied AI. Existing methods fall into two categories: prompt-driven approaches that leverage proprietary LLM services (e.g., GPT APIs), and learning-…

Re-evaluating Automatic LLM System Ranking for Alignment with Human Preference

NAACL 2025findings

Evaluating and ranking the capabilities of different LLMs is crucial for understanding their performance and alignment with human preferences. Due to the high cost and time-consuming nature of human evaluations, an automatic LLM bencher (i.e., an automatic evaluation framework that aims to rank LLMs…

Towards A “Novel” Benchmark: Evaluating Literary Fiction with Large Language Models

ACL 2025finding

Current exploration on creative generation focuses mainly on short stories, poetry, and scripts. With the expansion of Large Language Models (LLMs) context windows, “novel” avenues emerge. This study aims to extend the boundaries of Natural Language Generation (NLG) evaluation by exploring LLMs’ cap…

Unlocking the Potential of Diffusion Priors in Blind Face Restoration

ICCV 2025poster

Although diffusion prior is rising as a powerful solution for blind face restoration (BFR), the inherent gap between the vanilla diffusion model and BFR settings hinders its seamless adaptation. The gap mainly stems from the discrepancy between 1) high-quality (HQ) and low-quality (LQ) images and 2)…

Are LLM-based Evaluators Confusing NLG Quality Criteria?

ACL 2024long

Some prior work has shown that LLMs perform well in NLG evaluation for different tasks. However, we discover that LLMs seem to confuse different evaluation criteria, which reduces their reliability. For further verification, we first consider avoiding issues of inconsistent conceptualization and vag…

Better than Random: Reliable NLG Human Evaluation with Constrained Active Sampling

AAAI 2024technical

Human evaluation is viewed as a reliable evaluation method for NLG which is expensive and time-consuming. To save labor and costs, researchers usually perform human evaluation on a small subset of data sampled from the whole dataset in practice. However, different selection subsets will lead to diff…

Is Summary Useful or Not? An Extrinsic Human Evaluation of Text Summaries on Downstream Tasks

COLING 2024main

Research on automated text summarization typically uses human and automatic evaluation methods. While most recent studies focus on intrinsic evaluation, which assesses the general quality of summaries, e.g. coherence and informativeness, we concentrate on task-based extrinsic evaluation to determine…

Themis: A Reference-free NLG Evaluation Language Model with Flexibility and Interpretability

EMNLP 2024main

The evaluation of natural language generation (NLG) tasks is a significant and longstanding research area. With the recent emergence of powerful large language models (LLMs), some studies have turned to LLM-based automatic evaluation methods, which demonstrate great potential to become a new evaluat…

Learning Cross-Modal Affinity for Referring Video Object Segmentation Targeting Limited Samples

ICCV 2023poster

Referring video object segmentation (RVOS), as a supervised learning task, relies on sufficient annotated data for a given scene. However, in more realistic scenarios, only minimal annotations are available for a new scene, which poses significant challenges to existing RVOS methods. With this in mi…

Reference Matters: Benchmarking Factual Error Correction for Dialogue Summarization with Fine-grained Evaluation Framework

ACL 2023long

Factuality is important to dialogue summarization. Factual error correction (FEC) of model-generated summaries is one way to improve factuality. Current FEC evaluation that relies on factuality metrics is not reliable and detailed enough. To address this problem, we are the first to manually annotat…

Multi-Scale Location-Aware Kernel Representation for Object Detection

CVPR 2018poster

Although Faster R-CNN and its variants have shown promising performance in object detection, they only exploit simple first order representation of object proposals for final classification and regression. Recent classification methods demonstrate that the integration of high order statistics into d…
