In recent years, significant advancements in large language models have greatly propelled the development of Text-to-SQL tasks. However, due to the token-by-token sequential generation mechanism employed by these models, they encounter a semantic blind spot problem with respect to pending SQL compon…
3D LiDAR-based gait recognition has gained increasing attention due to its robustness to illumination, privacy preservation, and capability for long-range and non-contact identity verification. However, existing point cloud-based methods suffer from two critical limitations: they fail to model seman
Detecting mirror regions in RGB videos is essential for scene understanding in applications such as scene reconstruction and robotic navigation. Existing video mirror detectors typically rely on cues like inside-outside mirror correspondences and 2D motion inconsistencies. However, these methods oft
Deep learning-based pansharpening methods typically use simulated data at the reduced-resolution scale for training. It limits their performance when generalizing the trained model to the full-resolution scale due to incomprehensive information utilization of panchromatic (PAN) images at the full-re…
The significant amount of manual efforts in annotating pixel-level labels has triggered the advancement of unsupervised saliency learning. However without supervision signals state-of-the-art methods can only infer region-level saliency. In this paper we propose to explore the unsupervised salient i…
Inspired by the powerful ability to capture long-distance dependencies in the vision transformer, we propose a novel high-frequency transformer network based on window cross-attention to fuse panchromatic (PAN) and multispectral (MS) images for a high-resolution MS image. To overcome the problem bro…
In this paper, we propose an unsupervised query enhanced approach for knowledge-intensive conversations, namely QKConv. There are three modules in QKConv: a query generator, an off-the-shelf knowledge selector, and a response generator. QKConv is optimized through joint training, which produces the…
This paper introduces a robust and scalable Gaussian process regression (GPR) model via variational learning. This enables the application of Gaussian processes to a wide range of real data, which are often large-scale and contaminated by outliers. Towards this end, we employ a mixture likelihood mo…
The saliency ranking task is recently proposed to study the visual behavior that humans would typically shift their attention over different objects of a scene based on their degrees of saliency. Existing approaches focus on learning either object-object or object-scene relations. Such a strategy fo…
In this paper, we explore a new type of extrinsic method to directly align two geometric shapes with point-to-point correspondences in ambient space by recovering a deformation, which allows more continuous and smooth maps to be obtained. Specifically, the classic coherent point drift is revisited a…
Existing pipelined task-oriented dialogue systems usually have difficulties adapting to unseen domains, whereas end-to-end systems are plagued by large-scale knowledge bases in practice. In this paper, we introduce a novel query-driven task-oriented dialogue system, namely Q-TOD. The essential infor…
Pre-trained language models (PLMs) can provide a good starting point for downstream applications. However, it is difficult to generalize PLMs to new tasks given a few labeled samples. In this work, we show that Relation Graph augmented Learning (RGL) can improve the performance of few-shot natural l…
Most recent video super-resolution (SR) methods either adopt an iterative manner to deal with low-resolution (LR) frames from a temporally sliding window, or leverage the previously estimated SR output to help reconstruct the current frame recurrently. A few studies try to combine these two structur…
The existing face recognition datasets usually lack occlusion samples, which hinders the development of face recognition. Especially during the COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic, wearing a mask has become an effective means of preventing the virus spread. Traditional CNN-based face recognition models tr…
Due to diverse rain shapes, directions, densities as well as different distances to cameras, rain streaks in the air are interweaved and overlapped. However, most existing deraining methods are inherently oblivious this phenomenon and tend to learn a single rain streak layer to simulate this complex…
Pansharpening is widely used to increase the spatial resolution of a multispectral (MS) image by fusing with a panchromatic (PAN) image that has high-spatial resolution and the same scene. In this paper, the similarities of MS and PAN images in cartoon-texture space are exploited. The cartoon and te…
An emerging research direction considers the inverse problem of inferring electrocardiogram (ECG) from photoplethysmogram (PPG) to bring about the synergy between the easy measurability of PPG and the rich clinical knowledge of ECG to facilitate preventive healthcare. Previous reconstruction using a…
Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is widely utilized to examine vegetation coverage and estimate crop yield. To obtain a high-resolution (HR) NDVI, fusion techniques, which first generates a HR multispectral (MS) image by fusing a low-resolution (LR) MS image and a HR panchromatic image,…
We introduce a novel framework for the fusion of retinal OCT and confocal images of mice with uveitis. Input images are semi-automatically registered and then fused to provide more informative retinal images for analysis by ophthalmologists and clinicians. The proposed feature-based registration app…
