CAGE: Unsupervised Visual Composition and Animation for Controllable Video Generation

AAAI 2025technical

The field of video generation has expanded significantly in recent years, with controllable and compositional video generation garnering considerable interest. Most methods rely on leveraging annotations such as text, objects' bounding boxes, and motion cues, which require substantial human effort a…

Building Vision-Language Models on Solid Foundations with Masked Distillation

CVPR 2024poster

Recent advancements in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have marked a significant leap in bridging the gap between computer vision and natural language processing. However traditional VLMs trained through contrastive learning on limited and noisy image-text pairs often lack the spatial and linguistic u…

Representation Learning by Detecting Incorrect Location Embeddings

AAAI 2023technical

In this paper, we introduce a novel self-supervised learning (SSL) loss for image representation learning. There is a growing belief that generalization in deep neural networks is linked to their ability to discriminate object shapes. Since object shape is related to the location of its parts, we pr…

KOALA: A Kalman Optimization Algorithm with Loss Adaptivity

AAAI 2022technical

Optimization is often cast as a deterministic problem, where the solution is found through some iterative procedure such as gradient descent. However, when training neural networks the loss function changes over (iteration) time due to the randomized selection of a subset of the samples. This random…
