NAVER: A Neuro-Symbolic Compositional Automaton for Visual Grounding with Explicit Logic Reasoning

Zhixi Cai, Fucai Ke, Simindokht Jahangard, Maria Garcia de la Banda, Reza Haffari, Peter J. Stuckey +1

ICCV 2025poster

Visual Grounding (VG) tasks, such as referring expression detection and segmentation tasks are important for linking visual entities to context, especially in complex reasoning tasks that require detailed query interpretation. This paper explores VG beyond basic perception, highlighting challenges f…

iDARTS: Differentiable Architecture Search with Stochastic Implicit Gradients

Miao Zhang, Steven W. Su, Shirui Pan, Xiaojun Chang, Ehsan M Abbasnejad, Reza Haffari

ICML 2021spotlight

Differentiable ARchiTecture Search(DARTS) has recently become the mainstream in the neural architecture search (NAS) due to its efficiency and simplicity. With a gradient-based bi-level optimization, DARTS alternately optimizes the inner model weights and the outer architecture parameter in a weight…
