The safe deployment of artificial intelligence systems hinges on their ability to recognize and appropriately handle inputs they have not been trained for. Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection aims to provide this capability, yet most existing methods are developed under idealized assumptions that do
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across a wide range of multimodal reasoning tasks. However, recent research shows that they are susceptible to adversarial examples. Existing LVLM attack methods are generally deployed in the white- or black-box setting, …
Few-shot and zero-shot point cloud semantic segmentation aim to accurately segment novel categories using limited or no labeled samples, respectively. However, existing methods face significant challenges including domain shifts between support and query sets and the inability to handle both few-sho
Multi-modal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (MMRAG) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for enhancing Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in knowledge-intensive question answering by integrating external visual, textual, and structural knowledge. However, existing MMRAG frameworks suffer from cri
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly vulnerable to adversarial prompts that exploit semantic ambiguities to bypass safety mechanisms, resulting in harmful or inappropriate outputs. Such attacks, including jailbreaking and prompt injection, pose significant risks to the integrity and availab
Few-shot point cloud semantic segmentation (FS-PCSS) aims to achieve precise segmentation of novel categories using only limited labeled samples. Existing prototype-based methods typically rely on shallow feature fusion strategies, failing to adequately model the feature distribution shift between s…
Large Vision-Language Models have achieved unprecedented success in zero-shot recognition by aligning visual features with broad semantic concepts. However, this semantic abstraction creates a critical vulnerability in open-world deployment: the "Hubris of Semantics", where models force-fit unknown …
Driven by the wave of large language models, Video-Language Models (VLMs) have become a significant yet challenging technology to bridge the gap between videos and texts. Although previous VLM works have made significant progress, almost all of them implicitly assume that all the texts are predefine
In the era of Large Video-Language Models (LVLMs), the computational necessity of sparse frame sampling creates a fundamental ``temporal gap'', rendering models blind to critical causal transitions. Existing solutions relying on generative hallucination (e.g., latent diffusion) or autoregressive ext…
Point cloud data, with its inherent geometric and topological structures, plays a critical role in 3D vision tasks. However, existing parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods predominantly focus on input token prompting, overlooking the intrinsic geometric information. To address this limitati…
Video-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated impressive multi-modal reasoning capabilities across diverse computer vision applications. However, these VLMs are task-specific and assume that both video and language inputs are complete. However, real-world VLM applications might face challenges due
Although Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have demonstrated remarkable reasoning capabilities across various downstream multimodal tasks, they are proven to be vulnerable to carefully designed adversarial examples.

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have transformed multi-modal understanding, excelling in tasks like image captioning and visual question answering by integrating visual and textual inputs. However, their robustness against adversarial attacks—particularly those exploiting both modalities—remain
Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection attempts to distinguish outlier samples to prevent models trained on the in-distribution (ID) dataset from producing unavailable outputs. Most OOD detection methods require many ID samples for training, which seriously limits their real-world applications. To this…
Few-shot point cloud semantic segmentation effectively addresses data scarcity by identifying unlabeled query samples through semantic prototypes generated from a small set of labeled support samples.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) often exhibit out-of-distribution (OOD) overconfidence, producing overly confident predictions on OOD samples. We attribute this issue to the inherent over-complexity of DNNs and investigate two key aspects: capacity and nonlinearity. First, we demonstrate that reducing m…
Few-shot point cloud semantic segmentation aims to accurately segment "unseen" new categories in point cloud scenes using limited labeled data. However, pretraining-based methods not only introduce excessive time overhead but also overlook the local structure representation among irregular point clo…

Existing LVLM attackers simply optimize adversarial images that easily overfit a certain model/prompt, making them ineffective o…
Given an untrimmed video and a sentence query, video moment retrieval using language (VMR) aims to locate a target query-relevant moment. Since the untrimmed video is overlong, almost all existing VMR methods first sparsely down-sample each untrimmed video into multiple fixed-length video clips and…
