Dynamical phases of short-term memory mechanisms in RNNs

ICML 2025poster

Short-term memory is essential for cognitive processing, yet our understanding of its neural mechanisms remains unclear. Neuroscience has long focused on how sequential activity patterns, where neurons fire one after another within large networks, can explain how information is maintained. While rec…

Hierarchical Compact Clustering Attention (COCA) for Unsupervised Object-Centric Learning

CVPR 2025poster

We propose the Compact Clustering Attention (COCA) layer, an effective building block that introduces a hierarchical strategy for object-centric representation learning, while solving the unsupervised object discovery task on single images. COCA is an attention-based clustering module capable of ext…

Slot-Guided Adaptation of Pre-trained Diffusion Models for Object-Centric Learning and Compositional Generation

ICLR 2025poster

We present SlotAdapt, an object-centric learning method that combines slot attention with pretrained diffusion models by introducing adapters for slot-based conditioning. Our method preserves the generative power of pretrained diffusion models, while avoiding their text-centric conditioning bias. We…
