FVNet: Harnessing Liquid Neural Dynamics for Lightweight Visual Representation

AAAI 2026technical

Efficient visual backbone design remains crucial for resource-constrained computer vision applications. Inspired by the adaptive continuous-time dynamics observed in biological neurons, we propose FVNet, a novel lightweight architecture that integrates liquid neural dynamics for efficient and dynami

UQ-Bench: A Benchmark for Evaluating Multimodal LLMs on Underwater Image Quality Assessment

AAAI 2026technical

Despite the rapid progress of multimodal large language models (MLLMs), their capacity for low-level visual perception in underwater environments remains underexplored. To address this gap, we present UQ-Bench, the first systematically designed benchmark for evaluating the ability of MLLMs to percei

Adaptive Feature Selection for No-Reference Image Quality Assessment by Mitigating Semantic Noise Sensitivity

ICML 2024poster

The current state-of-the-art No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA) methods typically rely on feature extraction from upstream semantic backbone networks, assuming that all extracted features are relevant. However, we make a key observation that not all features are beneficial, and some may…

Integrating Global Context Contrast and Local Sensitivity for Blind Image Quality Assessment

ICML 2024spotlight

Blind Image Quality Assessment (BIQA) mirrors subjective made by human observers. Generally, humans favor comparing relative qualities over predicting absolute qualities directly. However, current BIQA models focus on mining the "local" context, i.e., the relationship between information among indiv…

Semi-Supervised Blind Image Quality Assessment through Knowledge Distillation and Incremental Learning

AAAI 2024technical

Blind Image Quality Assessment (BIQA) aims to simulate human assessment of image quality. It has a great demand for labeled data, which is often insufficient in practice. Some researchers employ unsupervised methods to address this issue, which is challenging to emulate the human subjective system.…

Data-Efficient Image Quality Assessment with Attention-Panel Decoder

AAAI 2023technical

Blind Image Quality Assessment (BIQA) is a fundamental task in computer vision, which however remains unresolved due to the complex distortion conditions and diversified image contents. To confront this challenge, we in this paper propose a novel BIQA pipeline based on the Transformer architecture,…
