Reasoning Large Multi-modality Models (LMMs) have become the de facto choice for many applications. However, these models rely on a Chain-of-Thought (CoT) process that is lengthy and unpredictable at runtime, often resulting in inefficient use of computational resources (due to memory fragmentation)
While vision-language models (VLMs) excel at tasks involving single images or short videos, they still struggle with Long Video Question Answering (LVQA) due to its demand for complex multi-step temporal reasoning. Vanilla approaches, which simply sample frames uniformly and feed them to a VLM along
Federated Learning (FL) is plagued by two key challenges: high communication overhead and performance collapse on heterogeneous (non-IID) data. Analytic FL (AFL) provides a single-round, data distribution invariant solution, but is limited to linear models. Subsequent non-linear approaches, like Dee
Unified Multimodal Generative Models (UMGMs) unify visual understanding and image generation within a single autoregressive framework. However, their ability to continually learn new tasks is severely hindered by catastrophic forgetting, both within a modality (intra-modal) and across modalities (in…
An efficient and effective decoding mechanism is crucial in medical image segmentation especially in scenarios with limited computational resources. However these decoding mechanisms usually come with high computational costs. To address this concern we introduce EMCAD a new efficient multi-scale co…
Vision graph neural networks (ViG) offer a new avenue for exploration in computer vision. A major bottleneck in ViGs is the inefficient k-nearest neighbor (KNN) operation used for graph construction. To solve this issue we propose a new method for designing ViGs Dynamic Axial Graph Construction (DAG…
