Learning to See Before Seeing: Demystifying LLM Visual Priors from Language Pre-training

ICLR 2026oral

Large Language Models (LLMs), despite being trained on text alone, surprisingly develop rich visual priors. These priors allow latent visual capabilities to be unlocked for vision tasks with a relatively small amount of multimodal data, and to perform symbolic visual generation tasks without ever ha…

FDS: Frequency-Aware Denoising Score for Text-Guided Latent Diffusion Image Editing

CVPR 2025poster

Text-guided image editing using Text-to-Image (T2I) models often fails to yield satisfactory results, frequently introducing unintended modifications, such as the loss of local detail and color changes. In this paper, we analyze these failure cases and attribute them to the indiscriminate optimizati…

VolRecon: Volume Rendering of Signed Ray Distance Functions for Generalizable Multi-View Reconstruction

CVPR 2023poster

The success of the Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) in novel view synthesis has inspired researchers to propose neural implicit scene reconstruction. However, most existing neural implicit reconstruction methods optimize per-scene parameters and therefore lack generalizability to new scenes. We introdu…

Learning V1 Simple Cells with Vector Representation of Local Content and Matrix Representation of Local Motion

AAAI 2022technical

This paper proposes a representational model for image pairs such as consecutive video frames that are related by local pixel displacements, in the hope that the model may shed light on motion perception in primary visual cortex (V1). The model couples the following two components: (1) the vector re…

BlendedMVS: A Large-Scale Dataset for Generalized Multi-View Stereo Networks

CVPR 2020poster

While deep learning has recently achieved great success on multi-view stereo (MVS), limited training data makes the trained model hard to be generalized to unseen scenarios. Compared with other computer vision tasks, it is rather difficult to collect a large-scale MVS dataset as it requires expensiv…
