Different time-series tasks benefit from distinct cues at various spaces and abstractions, yet existing time-series pre-trained models entangle these signals within large, monolithic embeddings, limiting transferability and zero-shot usability. Moreover, massive model sizes demand heavy compute, res…
This paper addresses few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) guided by text, where we classify unseen novel classes using image and text references as in-context examples, without the need for training. We enhance the quality and stability of the segmentation masks generated by FSS by combining the cap…
The goal of *generalized* few-shot semantic segmentation (GFSS) is to recognize *novel-class* objects through training with a few annotated examples and the *base-class* model that learned the knowledge about the base classes. Unlike the classic few-shot semantic segmentation, GFSS aims to classify…
In this work, we propose a novel framework for image segmentation guided by visual prompting which leverages the power of vision foundation models. Inspired by recent advancements in computer vision, our approach integrates multiple large-scale pretrained models to address the challenges of segment…
Predicting which action (treatment) will lead to a better outcome is a central task in decision support systems. To build a prediction model in real situations, learning from observational data with a sampling bias is a critical issue due to the lack of randomized controlled trial (RCT) data. To han…
Overparameterized deep networks have the capacity to memorize training data with zero \emph{training error}. Even after memorization, the \emph{training loss} continues to approach zero, making the model overconfident and the test performance degraded. Since existing regularizers do not directly aim…
Modal regression is aimed at estimating the global mode (i.e., global maximum) of the conditional density function of the output variable given input variables, and has led to regression methods robust against a wide-range of noises. A typical approach for modal regression takes a two-step approach…
Mean shift is a mode-seeking clustering algorithm that has been successfully used in a wide range of applications such as image segmentation and object tracking. To further improve the clustering performance, mean shift has been extended to various directions, including generalization to handle data…
Most of the semi-supervised classification methods developed so far use unlabeled data for regularization purposes under particular distributional assumptions such as the cluster assumption. In contrast, recently developed methods of classification from positive and unlabeled data (PU classification…
In PU learning, a binary classifier is trained from positive (P) and unlabeled (U) data without negative (N) data. Although N data is missing, it sometimes outperforms PN learning (i.e., ordinary supervised learning). Hitherto, neither theoretical nor experimental analysis has been given to explain…
We present a method for separating background and foreground optical flow fields induced by observer's egomotion and motion of objects, respectively. Optical flow is a vector field of instantaneous apparent motion computed from successive images. An optical flow field can be assumed as a linear comb…
