Assembling objects from parts requires understanding multimodal instructions, linking them to 3D components, and predicting physically plausible 6-DoF motions for each assembly step. Existing datasets focus on simplified scenarios, overlooking shape complexities and assembly trajectories in industri
Understanding how the 3D world evolves over time is a fundamental task in computer vision, essential for embodied settings, autonomous driving, etc. It requires not only the reconstruction of the observed scene but also the anticipation of how the scene dynamics will unfold in the future. While the
Token-level adaptive computation seeks to reduce inference cost by allocating more computation to harder tokens and less to easier ones. However, prior work is primarily evaluated on natural-language benchmarks using task-level metrics, where token-level difficulty is unobservable and confounded wit…
Recent years have seen a significant progress in the general-purpose problem solving abilities of large vision and language models (LVLMs), such as ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.; some of these breakthroughs even seem to enable AI models to outperform human abilities in varied tasks that demand higher-order…
Extensions of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) to model dynamic scenes have enabled their near photo-realistic free-viewpoint rendering. Although these methods have shown some potential in creating immersive experiences two drawbacks limit their ubiquity: (i) a significant reduction in reconstruction…
Text-conditioned image-to-video generation (TI2V) aims to synthesize a realistic video starting from a given image (e.g. a woman's photo) and a text description (e.g. "a woman is drinking water."). Existing TI2V frameworks often require costly training on video-text datasets and specific model desig…
Recent times have witnessed an increasing number of applications of deep neural networks towards solving tasks that require superior cognitive abilities, e.g., playing Go, generating art, question answering (such as ChatGPT), etc. Such a dramatic progress raises the question: how generalizable are n…
Time-series are commonly susceptible to various types of corruption due to sensor-level changes and defects which can result in missing samples, sensor and quantization noise, unknown calibration, unknown phase shifts etc. These corruptions cannot be easily corrected as the noise model may be unknow…
Conditional generative models typically demand large annotated training sets to achieve high-quality synthesis. As a result, there has been significant interest in designing models that perform plug-and-play generation, i.e., to use a predefined or pretrained model, which is not explicitly trained o…
"Cost-effective depth and infrared sensors as alternatives to usual RGB sensors are now a reality, and have some advantages over RGB in domains like autonomous navigation and remote sensing. As such, building computer vision and deep learning systems for depth and infrared data are crucial. However,…
Group Convolutional Neural Networks (G-CNNs) constrain learned features to respect the symmetries in the selected group, and lead to better generalization when these symmetries appear in the data. If this is not the case, however, equivariance leads to overly constrained models and worse performance…
Knowledge distillation (KD) is a general neural network training approach that uses a teacher model to guide the student model. Existing works mainly study KD from the network output side (e.g., trying to design a better KD loss function), while few have attempted to understand it from the input sid…
For time-series classification and retrieval applications, an important requirement is to develop representations/metrics that are robust to re-parametrization of the time-axis. Temporal re-parametrization as a model can account for variability in the underlying generative process, sampling rate var…
Many time-series classification problems involve developing metrics that are invariant to temporal misalignment. In human activity analysis, temporal misalignment arises due to various reasons including differing initial phase, sensor sampling rates, and elastic time-warps due to subject-specific bi…
In this paper, we consider the problem of fusing low spatial resolution multi-spectral (MS) aerial images with their associated high spatial resolution panchromatic image. To solve this problem, various methods have been proposed, using either model-based or model-agnostic algorithms such as deep le…
The goal of this paper is to present a non-iterative and more importantly an extremely fast algorithm to reconstruct images from compressively sensed (CS) random measurements. To this end, we propose a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture which takes in CS measurements of an image…
