Chart editing reduces manual effort in visualization design. Typical benchmarks assume access to complete chart code, which is unrealistic for real-world applications. In this paper, we present ChartEditVista, a comprehensive benchmark consisting of 7,964 samples spanning 31 chart categories. It enc
High-quality 3D avatar modeling faces a critical trade-off between fidelity and generalization. On the one hand, multi-view studio data enables high-fidelity modeling of humans with precise control over expressions and poses, but it struggles to generalize to real-world data due to limited scale and
Transfer learning has become a central paradigm in modern machine learning, yet it suffers from the long-standing problem of negative transfer, where leveraging source representations can harm rather than help performance on the target task. Although empirical remedies have been proposed, there rema…
Parametric body models offer expressive 3D representation of humans across a wide range of poses, shapes, and facial expressions, typically derived by learning a basis over registered 3D meshes. However, existing human mesh modeling approaches struggle to capture detailed variations across diverse b…
Vehicle aerodynamics optimization has become critical for automotive electrification, where drag reduction directly determines electric vehicle range and energy efficiency. Traditional approaches face an intractable trade-off: computationally expensive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations…
One can hardly model self-contact of human poses without considering underlying body shapes. For example, the pose of rubbing a belly for a person with a low BMI leads to penetration of the hand into the belly for a person with a high BMI. Despite its relevance, existing self-contact datasets lack t…
To build photorealistic avatars that users can embody, human modelling must be complete (cover the full body), driveable (able to reproduce the current motion and appearance from the user), and generalizable (_i.e._, easily adaptable to novel identities). Towards these goals, _paired_ captures, that…
Charts are important for presenting and explaining complex data relationships. Recently, multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in chart understanding. However, the sheer size of these models limits their use in resource-constrained environments. In this paper, w…
Existing photorealistic relightable hand models require extensive identity-specific observations in different views poses and illuminations and face challenges in generalizing to natural illuminations and novel identities. To bridge this gap we present URHand the first universal relightable hand mod…
Graph Contrastive Learning (GCL) establishes a new paradigm for learning graph representations without human annotations. Although remarkable progress has been witnessed recently, the success behind GCL is still left somewhat mysterious. In this work, we first identify several critical design consid…
