From Perception to Planning: Evolving Ego-Centric Task-Oriented Spatiotemporal Reasoning via Curriculum Learning

ICML 2026poster

Modern vision-language models achieve strong performance in static perception, but remain limited in the complex spatiotemporal reasoning required for embodied, egocentric tasks. A major source of failure is their reliance on temporal priors learned from passive video data, which often leads to spat…

NAT3DSound: 3D Spatial Sound Field Synthesis with Multi-Modal Non-Autoregressive Transformer

ICASSP 2025accepted

3D spatial sound field synthesis takes the head-mounted audio signals and body poses as input and renders a 3D sound field around the center body, in which spatial audio can be inferred at any arbitrary position. To achieve this, a multi-modal system is required to spatialize input audio signals wit…

Think Both Ways: Teacher-Student Bidirectional Reasoning Enhances MCQ Generation and Distractor Quality

ACL 2025finding

Generating high-quality Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) remains challenging for educational tools due to the need for contextual relevance and plausible distractors. Existing methods still struggle with these dual requirements, leading to questions that lack depth and distractors that are either to…

AudioVSR: Enhancing Video Speech Recognition with Audio Data

EMNLP 2024main

Visual Speech Recognition (VSR) aims to predict spoken content by analyzing lip movements in videos. Recently reported state-of-the-art results in VSR often rely on increasingly large amounts of video data, while the publicly available transcribed video datasets are insufficient compared to the audi…

Norface: Improving Facial Expression Analysis by Identity Normalization

ECCV 2024poster

"Facial Expression Analysis remains a challenging task due to unexpected task-irrelevant noise, such as identity, head pose, and background. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel framework, called Norface, that is unified for both Action Unit (AU) analysis and Facial Emotion Recognition…

Text-to-Song: Towards Controllable Music Generation Incorporating Vocal and Accompaniment

ACL 2024long

A song is a combination of singing voice and accompaniment. However, existing works focus on singing voice synthesis and music generation independently. Little attention was paid to exploring song synthesis. In this work, we propose a novel task called Text-to-Song synthesis which incorporates both…

DINet: Deformation Inpainting Network for Realistic Face Visually Dubbing on High Resolution Video

AAAI 2023technical

For few-shot learning, it is still a critical challenge to realize photo-realistic face visually dubbing on high-resolution videos. Previous works fail to generate high-fidelity dubbing results. To address the above problem, this paper proposes a Deformation Inpainting Network (DINet) for high-resol…

FlowFace: Semantic Flow-Guided Shape-Aware Face Swapping

AAAI 2023technical

In this work, we propose a semantic flow-guided two-stage framework for shape-aware face swapping, namely FlowFace. Unlike most previous methods that focus on transferring the source inner facial features but neglect facial contours, our FlowFace can transfer both of them to a target face, thus lead…

Rethinking Multi-Modal Alignment in Multi-Choice VideoQA from Feature and Sample Perspectives

EMNLP 2022main

Reasoning about causal and temporal event relations in videos is a new destination of Video Question Answering (VideoQA). The major stumbling block to achieve this purpose is the semantic gap between language and video since they are at different levels of abstraction. Existing efforts mainly focus…

The Devil Is in the Labels: Noisy Label Correction for Robust Scene Graph Generation

CVPR 2022oral

Unbiased SGG has achieved significant progress over recent years. However, almost all existing SGG models have overlooked the ground-truth annotation qualities of prevailing SGG datasets, i.e., they always assume: 1) all the manually annotated positive samples are equally correct; 2) all the un-anno…

Flow-Guided One-Shot Talking Face Generation With a High-Resolution Audio-Visual Dataset

CVPR 2021poster

One-shot talking face generation should synthesize high visual quality facial videos with reasonable animations of expression and head pose, and just utilize arbitrary driving audio and arbitrary single face image as the source. Current works fail to generate over 256 x 256 resolution realistic-look…

Write-a-speaker: Text-based Emotional and Rhythmic Talking-head Generation

AAAI 2021technical

In this paper, we propose a novel text-based talking-head video generation framework that synthesizes high-fidelity facial expressions and head motions in accordance with contextual sentiments as well as speech rhythm and pauses. To be specific, our framework consists of a speaker-independent stage…
