Naming to Learn: Class Incremental Learning for Vision-Language Model with Unlabeled Data

ICLR 2026poster

Class Incremental Learning (CIL) enables models to adapt to evolving data distributions by learning new classes over time without revisiting previous data. While recent methods utilizing pre-trained models have shown promising results, they often assume access to fully labeled data for each incremen…

RAR: Reversing Visual Attention Re-Sinking for Unlocking Potential in Multimodal Large Language Models

ICLR 2026poster

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable success in vision-language tasks, yet they frequently exhibit suboptimal output layers, where intermediate decoder layers outperform the final ones, signaling underutilized model capacity. In this work, we delve into the root causes a…

SPAN: Spatial-Projection Alignment for Monocular 3D Object Detection

CVPR 2026

Existing monocular 3D detectors typically tame the pronounced nonlinear regression of 3D bounding box through decoupled prediction paradigm, which employs multiple branches to estimate geometric center, depth, dimensions, and rotation angle separately.Although this decoupling strategy simplifies the

UVU: Improving Multimodal Understanding via Vision-Language Unified Autoregressive Paradigm

CVPR 2026

Despite remarkable advancements in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), their fine-grained visual understanding is constrained by a primary reliance on sparse textual supervision. Existing efforts to introduce visual supervision typically do so during post-training, when visual representations

Once Read is Enough: Domain-specific Pretraining-free Language Models with Cluster-guided Sparse Experts for Long-tail Domain Knowledge

NeurIPS 2024poster

Language models (LMs) only pretrained on a general and massive corpus usually cannot attain satisfying performance on domain-specific downstream tasks, and hence, applying domain-specific pretraining to LMs is a common and indispensable practice. However, domain-specific pretraining can be costly an…

Over-parameterized Model Optimization with Polyak-{\L}ojasiewicz Condition

ICLR 2023poster

This work pursues the optimization of over-parameterized deep models for superior training efficiency and test performance. We first theoretically emphasize the importance of two properties of over-parameterized models, i.e., the convergence gap and the generalization gap. Subsequent analyses unveil…

HAGEN: Homophily-Aware Graph Convolutional Recurrent Network for Crime Forecasting

AAAI 2022technical

The goal of the crime forecasting problem is to predict different types of crimes for each geographical region (like a neighborhood or censor tract) in the near future. Since nearby regions usually have similar socioeconomic characteristics which indicate similar crime patterns, recent state-of-the-…

Generalization Bound of Gradient Descent for Non-Convex Metric Learning

NeurIPS 2020poster

Metric learning aims to learn a distance measure that can benefit distance-based methods such as the nearest neighbour (NN) classifier. While considerable efforts have been made to improve its empirical performance and analyze its generalization ability by focusing on the data structure and model co…
