Learning What to Generate: A Reinforcement Learning-based Closed-Loop Augmentation Framework for Person Re-identification

ICML 2026poster

Person re-identification (ReID) models are sensitive to long-tail nuisances (e.g., rare viewpoints, occlusions, complex backgrounds), yet current generative augmentation is largely open-loop: prompts/conditions are sampled heuristically without verifying whether the synthesized samples improve ReID …

Spatially-Regularized Entropy for Discriminative Token Merging in Fine-Grained Re-Identification

ICML 2026poster

While Vision Transformers (ViTs) offer strong global modeling, their quadratic computational cost limits utility in latency-sensitive applications like person re-identification (ReID). Existing compression strategies, such as token pruning or generic merging, typically rely on coarse-grained criteri…

Heuristic-Driven, Type-Specific Embedding in Parallel Spaces for Enhancing Knowledge Graph Reasoning

ICASSP 2024accepted

Knowledge Graph Reasoning aims to derive new insights from existing Knowledge Graphs (KGs) and address any missing or incomplete data. Existing models primarily rely on explicit information while neglecting the implicit constraints imposed by entity types on relations types. For example, when the en…

PHA: Patch-Wise High-Frequency Augmentation for Transformer-Based Person Re-Identification

CVPR 2023highlight

Although recent studies empirically show that injecting Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) into Vision Transformers (ViTs) can improve the performance of person re-identification, the rationale behind it remains elusive. From a frequency perspective, we reveal that ViTs perform worse than CNNs in…

CAKE: A Scalable Commonsense-Aware Framework For Multi-View Knowledge Graph Completion

ACL 2022long

Knowledge graphs store a large number of factual triples while they are still incomplete, inevitably. The previous knowledge graph completion (KGC) models predict missing links between entities merely relying on fact-view data, ignoring the valuable commonsense knowledge. The previous knowledge grap…

Perform like an Engine: A Closed-Loop Neural-Symbolic Learning Framework for Knowledge Graph Inference

COLING 2022main

Knowledge graph (KG) inference aims to address the natural incompleteness of KGs, including rule learning-based and KG embedding (KGE) models. However, the rule learning-based models suffer from low efficiency and generalization while KGE models lack interpretability. To address these challenges, we…

Entity Concept-enhanced Few-shot Relation Extraction

ACL 2021short

Few-shot relation extraction (FSRE) is of great importance in long-tail distribution problem, especially in special domain with low-resource data. Most existing FSRE algorithms fail to accurately classify the relations merely based on the information of the sentences together with the recognized ent…

UnrealPerson: An Adaptive Pipeline Towards Costless Person Re-Identification

CVPR 2021poster

The main difficulty of person re-identification (ReID) lies in collecting annotated data and transferring the model across different domains. This paper presents UnrealPerson, a novel pipeline that makes full use of unreal image data to decrease the costs in both the training and deployment stages.…
