We propose Intrinsic Quality (IQ), a validation-free metric designed to estimate the inherent potential of face recognition (FR) datasets to produce high-performance models without the need for full-scale training. IQ integrates two components: (i) a Neighbor-Consistency Score that quantifies local …
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) often face a modality representation gap during pretraining: while language embeddings remain stable, visual representations are highly sensitive to contextual noise (e.g., background clutter). To address this issue, we introduce a visual comprehension stage, which we
Defocus deblurring is a challenging task due to the spatially varying blur. Recent works have shown impressive results in data-driven approaches using dual-pixel (DP) sensors. Quad-pixel (QP) sensors represent an advanced evolution of DP sensors, providing four distinct sub-aperture views in contras…
Learning visual representations is foundational for a broad spectrum of downstream tasks. Although recent vision-language contrastive models, such as CLIP and SigLIP, have achieved impressive zero-shot performance via large-scale vision-language alignment, their reliance on global representations co…
Despite the impressive progress of recent pretraining methods on multimodal tasks, existing methods are inherently biased towards either spatial modeling (e.g., CLIP) or temporal modeling (e.g., V-JEPA), limiting their joint capture of spatial details and temporal dynamics. To this end, we propose U…
