L2COcc: Lightweight Camera-Centric Semantic Scene Completion via Distillation of LiDAR Model

IROS 2025

Semantic Scene Completion (SSC) constitutes a pivotal element in autonomous driving perception systems, tasked with inferring the 3D semantic occupancy of a scene from sensory data. To improve accuracy, prior research has implemented various computationally demanding and memory-intensive 3D operatio

OAgents: An Empirical Study of Building Effective Agents

EMNLP 2025

Recently, Agentic AI has become an increasingly popular field of research. However, we argue that current practices on agent research are far from standard, rigorous scientific research, which makes it hard to conduct apples-to-apples comparisons among and against existing methods. As a result, it i

Perspective-Aware Teaching: Adapting Knowledge for Heterogeneous Distillation

ICCV 2025poster

Knowledge distillation (KD) involves transferring knowledge from a pre-trained heavy teacher model to a lighter student model, thereby reducing the inference cost while maintaining comparable effectiveness. Prior KD techniques typically assume homogeneity between the teacher and student models. Howe…

The Fabrication of Reality and Fantasy: Scene Generation with LLM-Assisted Prompt Interpretation

ECCV 2024poster

"In spite of recent advancements in text-to-image generation, limitations persist in handling complex and imaginative prompts due to the restricted diversity and complexity of training data. This work explores how diffusion models can generate images from prompts requiring artistic creativity or spe…

Trigger Hunting with a Topological Prior for Trojan Detection

ICLR 2022poster

Despite their success and popularity, deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable when facing backdoor attacks. This impedes their wider adoption, especially in mission critical applications. This paper tackles the problem of Trojan detection, namely, identifying Trojaned models – models trained with…

Confidence Calibration for Domain Generalization Under Covariate Shift

ICCV 2021poster

Existing calibration algorithms address the problem of covariate shift via unsupervised domain adaptation. However, these methods suffer from the following limitations: 1) they require unlabeled data from the target domain, which may not be available at the stage of calibration in real-world applica…
