Cross-modal matching tasks have achieved significant progress, yet remain limited by mini-batch subsampling and scarce labelled data. Existing objectives, such as contrastive losses, focus solely on instance-level alignment and implicitly assume that all feature dimensions contribute equally. Under…
Entropy coding is widely used in typical learned image compression (LIC) that converts latents into a compact bitstream. However, entropy coding is typically sequential and becomes the coding latency bottleneck. To overcome it, we present Entropy-Coding Free Learned Image Compression (EF-LIC), a mul…
Over-aligning image generation models to a generalized aesthetic preference conflicts with user intent, particularly when "anti-aesthetic" outputs are requested for artistic or critical purposes. This adherence prioritizes developer-centered values, compromising user autonomy and aesthetic pluralism…
Deep learning methods have demonstrated promising performance on the NP-hard Graph Matching (GM) problems. However, the state-of-the-art methods usually require the ground-truth labels, which may take extensive human efforts or be impractical to collect. In this paper, we present a robust self-super…
