Attention (as Discrete-Time Markov) Chains

NeurIPS 2025poster

We introduce a new interpretation of the attention matrix as a discrete-time Markov chain. Our interpretation sheds light on common operations involving attention scores such as selection, summation, and averaging in a unified framework. It further extends them by considering indirect attention, pro…

CNS-Bench: Benchmarking Image Classifier Robustness Under Continuous Nuisance Shifts

ICCV 2025poster

An important challenge when using computer vision models in the real world is to evaluate their performance in potential out-of-distribution (OOD) scenarios. While simple synthetic corruptions are commonly applied to test OOD robustness, they often fail to capture nuisance shifts that occur in the r…

Common3D: Self-Supervised Learning of 3D Morphable Models for Common Objects in Neural Feature Space

CVPR 2025poster

3D morphable models (3DMMs) are a powerful tool to represent the possible shapes and appearances of an object category. Given a single test image, 3DMMs can be used to solve various tasks, such as predicting the 3D shape, pose, semantic correspondence, and instance segmentation of an object. Unfortu…

Do It Yourself: Learning Semantic Correspondence from Pseudo-Labels

ICCV 2025poster

Finding correspondences between semantically similar points across images and object instances is one of the everlasting challenges in computer vision. While large pre-trained vision models have recently been demonstrated as effective priors for semantic matching, they still suffer from ambiguities…

Normalizing Flows on the Product Space of SO(3) Manifolds for Probabilistic Human Pose Modeling

CVPR 2024poster

Normalizing flows have proven their efficacy for density estimation in Euclidean space but their application to rotational representations crucial in various domains such as robotics or human pose modeling remains underexplored. Probabilistic models of the human pose can benefit from approaches that…

Sample-Specific Output Constraints for Neural Networks

AAAI 2021technical

It is common practice to constrain the output space of a neural network with the final layer to a problem-specific value range. However, for many tasks it is desired to restrict the output space for each input independently to a different subdomain with a non-trivial geometry, e.g. in safety-critica…
