Beyond Patches: Mining Interpretable Part-Prototypes for Explainable AI

AAAI 2026technical

As AI systems become more capable, it is important that their decisions are understandable and aligned with human expectations. A key challenge is the lack of interpretability in deep models. Existing methods such as GradCAM generate heatmaps but provide limited conceptual insight, while prototype-b

DRES: Fake news detection by dynamic representation and ensemble selection

EMNLP 2025

The rapid spread of information via social media has made text-based fake news detection critically important due to its societal impact. This paper presents a novel detection method called Dynamic Representation and Ensemble Selection (DRES) for identifying fake news based solely on text. DRES leve

SEREP: Semantic Facial Expression Representation for Robust In-the-Wild Capture and Retargeting

ICCV 2025poster

Monocular facial performance capture in-the-wild is challenging due to varied capture conditions, face shapes, and expressions. Most current methods rely on linear 3D Morphable Models, which represent facial expressions independently of identity at the vertex displacement level. We propose SEREP (Se…

MoSAR: Monocular Semi-Supervised Model for Avatar Reconstruction using Differentiable Shading

CVPR 2024poster

Reconstructing an avatar from a portrait image has many applications in multimedia but remains a challenging research problem. Extracting reflectance maps and geometry from one image is ill-posed: recovering geometry is a one-to-many mapping problem and reflectance and light are difficult to disenta…
