EvoMoE: Expert Evolution in Mixture of Experts for Multimodal Large Language Models

AAAI 2026technical

Recent advancements have shown that the Mixture of Experts (MoE) approach significantly enhances the capacity of large language models (LLMs) and improves performance on downstream tasks. Building on these promising results, multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) have increasingly adopted MoE tec

Sinkhorn Distance Minimization for Knowledge Distillation

COLING 2024main

Knowledge distillation (KD) has been widely adopted to compress large language models (LLMs). Existing KD methods investigate various divergence measures including the Kullback-Leibler (KL), reverse Kullback-Leibler (RKL), and Jensen-Shannon (JS) divergences. However, due to limitations inherent in…

SoftCLIP: Softer Cross-Modal Alignment Makes CLIP Stronger

AAAI 2024technical

During the preceding biennium, vision-language pre-training has achieved noteworthy success on several downstream tasks. Nevertheless, acquiring high-quality image-text pairs, where the pairs are entirely exclusive of each other, remains a challenging task, and noise exists in the commonly used data…

DisCo: Remedying Self-Supervised Learning on Lightweight Models with Distilled Contrastive Learning

ECCV 2022poster

"While Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) has received widespread attention from the community, recent researches argue that its performance often suffers a cliff fall when the model size decreases. Since current SSL methods mainly rely on contrastive learning to train the network, we propose a simple y…

Efficient Decoder-Free Object Detection with Transformers

ECCV 2022poster

"Vision transformers (ViTs) are changing the landscape of object detection tasks. A natural usage of ViTs in detection is to replace the CNN-based backbone with a transformer-based backbone, which is simple yet brings an enormous computation burden during inference. More subtle usage is the DETR fam…

PyramidCLIP: Hierarchical Feature Alignment for Vision-language Model Pretraining

NeurIPS 2022accept

Large-scale vision-language pre-training has achieved promising results on downstream tasks. Existing methods highly rely on the assumption that the image-text pairs crawled from the Internet are in perfect one-to-one correspondence. However, in real scenarios, this assumption can be difficult to ho…

Self-supervised Models are Good Teaching Assistants for Vision Transformers

ICML 2022spotlight

Transformers have shown remarkable progress on computer vision tasks in the past year. Compared to their CNN counterparts, transformers usually need the help of distillation to achieve comparable results on middle or small sized datasets. Meanwhile, recent researches discover that when transformers…

Enhancing Unsupervised Video Representation Learning by Decoupling the Scene and the Motion

AAAI 2021technical

One significant factor we expect the video representation learning to capture, especially in contrast with the image representation learning, is the object motion. However, we found that in the current mainstream video datasets, some action categories are highly related with the scene where the acti…

Removing the Background by Adding the Background: Towards Background Robust Self-Supervised Video Representation Learning

CVPR 2021poster

Self-supervised learning has shown great potentials in improving the video representation ability of deep neural networks by getting supervision from the data itself. However, some of the current methods tend to cheat from the background, i.e., the prediction is highly dependent on the video backgro…
