Tool-augmented reasoning has emerged as a promising direction for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of multimodal large language models (MLLMs). However, existing studies mainly focus on enabling models to perform tool invocation, while neglecting the necessity of invoking tools. We argue that to…
Large Language Models (LLMs) excel across diverse applications but remain impractical for edge deployment due to severe memory bottlenecks at the edge devices. We propose Equilibrium Language Models (ELMs), a novel compression framework that replaces groups of Transformer layers with a lightweight f…
The success of diffusion models has raised concerns about the generation of unsafe or harmful content, prompting concept erasure approaches that fine-tune modules to suppress specific concepts while preserving general generative capabilities. However, as the number of erased concepts grows, these me
Diffusion models have recently shown strong progress in generative tasks, offering a more stable alternative to GAN-based approaches for makeup transfer. Existing methods often suffer from limited datasets, poor disentanglement between identity and makeup features, and weak controllability. To addre…
Deep learning models are well known to be susceptible to backdoor attacks, and text-to-image generation models are no exception. When a specific trigger is embedded in the input, a backdoored model can be manipulated to perform attacker-defined malicious behaviors, such as generating harmful or inap
Diffusion Policies have significantly advanced robotic manipulation tasks via imitation learning, but their application on resource-constrained mobile platforms remains challenging due to computational inefficiency and extensive memory footprint. In this paper, we propose LightDP, a novel framework…
Video sentence grounding locates a specific moment in a video based on a text query. Existing methods focus on single temporal resolution, ignoring multi-scale temporal consistency. We introduce MRTNet, a multi-resolution grounding network with four key components: a feature encoder, a Multi-Resolut…
Panoptic Scene Graph Generation (PSG) parses objects and predicts their relationships (predicate) to connect human language and visual scenes. However, different language preferences of annotators and semantic overlaps between predicates lead to biased predicate annotations in the dataset, i.e. diff…
"Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) is a critical challenge in the field of point cloud analysis. Previous works tackle the problem either by feature extractor adaptation to enable a shared classifier to distinguish domain-invariant features, or by classifier adaptation to evolve the classifier to…
In the domain of language-based fashion image retrieval, pinpointing the desired fashion item using both a reference image and its accompanying textual description is an intriguing challenge. Existing approaches lean heavily on static fusion techniques, intertwining image and text. Despite their com…
This paper describes a neural music arrangement method that converts a given band score into a piano score with an elementary or advanced level. The major challenge of this task lies in its ill-posed nature, i.e., various piano arrangements are plausible for a band score. In this paper, we take a sc…
Panoptic segmentation aims to perform instance segmentation for foreground instances and semantic segmentation for background stuff simultaneously. The typical top-down pipeline concentrates on two key issues: 1) how to effectively model the intrinsic interaction between semantic segmentation and in…
This paper proposes an efficient neural network (NN) architecture design methodology called Chameleon that honors given resource constraints. Instead of developing new building blocks or using computationally-intensive reinforcement learning algorithms, our approach leverages existing efficient netw…
Designing accurate and efficient ConvNets for mobile devices is challenging because the design space is combinatorially large. Due to this, previous neural architecture search (NAS) methods are computationally expensive. ConvNet architecture optimality depends on factors such as input resolution and…
In this paper, we design a novel deep learning based hybrid system for automatic chord recognition. Currently, there is a bottleneck in the amount of enough annotated data for training robust acoustic models, as hand annotating time-synchronized chord labels requires professional musical skills and…
