Catastrophic forgetting remains a fundamental barrier to artificial continual learning (CL) - a capability innate to humans. Existing CL methods often incur prohibitive computational costs in resource-constrained scenarios. Spiking neural networks (SNNs), with their biological plausibility and energ
Despite long-standing efforts in accelerating scientific discovery with AI, building AI co-scientists remains challenging due to limited high-quality data for training and evaluation. To tackle this data scarcity issue, we present AutoSDT, an automatic pipeline that collects high-quality coding task
Classical Transformer-based line segment detection methods have delivered impressive results. However, we observe that some accurately detected line segments are assigned low confidence scores during prediction, causing them to be ranked lower and potentially suppressed. Additionally, these models o…
The advancements of language language models (LLMs) have piqued growing interest in developing LLM-based language agents to automate scientific discovery end-to-end, which has sparked both excitement and skepticism about the true capabilities of such agents. In this work, we argue that for an agent…
In this paper, we propose a novel transformer-based end-to-end real-time vanishing point detection method, which is named Vanishing Point TRansformer (VPTR). The proposed method can directly regress the locations of vanishing points from given images. To achieve this goal, we pose vanishing point de…
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have attracted intensive attention as a promising energy-efficient alternative to conventional artificial neural networks (ANNs) recently, which could transmit information in form of binary spikes rather than continuous activations thus the multiplication of activatio…
The Spiking Neural Network (SNN), as one of the biologically inspired neural network infrastructures, has drawn increasing attention recently. It adopts binary spike activations to transmit information, thus the multiplications of activations and weights can be substituted by additions, which brings…
Incremental object detection (IOD) task requires a model to learn continually from newly added data. However, directly fine-tuning a well-trained detection model on a new task will sharply decrease the performance on old tasks, which is known as catastrophic forgetting. Knowledge distillation, inclu…
Intersection-over-Union (IoU) is the most popular metric to evaluate regression performance in 3D object detection. Recently, there are also some methods applying IoU to the optimization of 3D bounding box regression. However, we demonstrate through experiments and mathematical proof that the 3D IoU…
As one of the energy-efficient alternatives of conventional neural networks (CNNs), spiking neural networks (SNNs) have gained more and more interest recently. To train the deep models, some effective batch normalization (BN) techniques are proposed in SNNs. All these BNs are suggested to be used af…

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) as one of the biology-inspired models have received much attention recently. It can significantly reduce energy consumption since they quantize the real-valued membrane potentials to 0/1 spikes to transmit information thus the multiplications of activations and weights…
Class incremental learning has drawn much attention recently. Although many algorithms have been proposed for class incremental image classification, developing object detectors which can learn incrementally is still a challenge.
