Autonomous driving requires accurate scene understanding, including road geometry, traffic agents, and their semantic relationships. In online HD map generation scenarios, raster-based representations are well-suited to vision models but lack geometric precision, while graph-based representations re
End-to-end (E2E) driving has become a cornerstone of both industry deployment and academic research, offering a single learnable pipeline that maps multi-sensor inputs to actions while avoiding hand-engineered modules. However, the reliability of such pipelines strongly depends on how well they hand…
Online mapping and end-to-end (E2E) planning in autonomous driving are still largely sensor-centric, leaving rich map priors—HD/SD vector maps, rasterized SD maps, and satellite imagery—underused due to heterogeneity, pose drift, and inconsistent availability at test time. We present emph{UMPE}, a U…
Recently, model merging methods have demonstrated powerful strengths in combining abilities on various tasks from multiple Large Language Models (LLMs). While previous model merging methods mainly focus on merging homogeneous models with identical architecture, they meet challenges when dealing with…
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have demonstrated strong performance on vision-language benchmarks, yet current evaluations predominantly focus on single-image reasoning. In contrast, real-world scenarios always involve understanding sequences of images. A typical scenario is comic strips understandi
Large Language Models with chain-of-thought prompting, such as OpenAI-o1, have shown impressive capabilities in natural language inference tasks. However, Multi-hop Question Answering (MHQA) remains challenging for many existing models due to issues like hallucination, error propagation, and limited…
Recent advancements in high-definition (HD) map construction have demonstrated the effectiveness of dense representations, which heavily rely on computationally intensive bird’s-eye view (BEV) features. While sparse representations offer a more efficient alternative by avoiding dense BEV processing,
"Oriented object detection, an emerging task in recent years, aims to identify and locate objects across varied orientations. This requires the detector to accurately capture the orientation information, which varies significantly within and across images. Despite the existing substantial efforts, s…
Rotated object detection aims to identify and locate objects in images with arbitrary orientation. In this scenario, the oriented directions of objects vary considerably across different images, while multiple orientations of objects exist within an image. This intrinsic characteristic makes it chal…
Cross domain object detection is a realistic and challenging task in the wild. It suffers from performance degradation due to large shift of data distributions and lack of instance-level annotations in the target domain. Existing approaches mainly focus on either of these two difficulties, even thou…
Domain adaptive object detection (DAOD) is a promising way to alleviate performance drop of detectors in new scenes. Albeit great effort made in single source domain adaptation, a more generalized task with multiple source domains remains not being well explored, due to knowledge degradation during…
Text coherence plays a key role in document quality assessment. Most existing text coherence methods only focus on similarity of adjacent sentences. However, local coherence exists in sentences with broader contexts and diverse rhetoric relations, rather than just adjacent sentences similarity. Besi…
Attribute recognition is a crucial but challenging task due to viewpoint changes, illumination variations and appearance diversities, etc. Most of previous work only consider the attribute-level feature embedding, which might perform poorly in complicated heterogeneous conditions. To address this pr…
Human attribute analysis is a challenging task in the field of computer vision. One of the significant difficulties is brought from largely imbalance-distributed data. Conventional techniques such as re-sampling and cost-sensitive learning require prior-knowledge to train the system. To address this…
