HiFi-Mesh: High-Fidelity Efficient 3D Mesh Generation via Compact Autoregressive Dependence

AAAI 2026technical

High-fidelity 3D meshes can be tokenized into one-dimension (1D) sequences and directly modeled using autoregressive approaches for faces and vertices. However, existing methods suffer from insufficient resource utilization, resulting in slow inference and the ability to handle only small-scale sequ

On the Power of Statistics in Class-Incremental Learning with Pretrained Models

ICML 2026poster

Recent class-incremental learning (CIL) methods built on large pre-trained vision models have shown that strong performance can be retained even under strict data access constraints. This raises a fundamental question: which properties of pre-trained representations make such recovery possible in th…

Refining Context-Entangled Content Segmentation via Curriculum Selection and Anti-Curriculum Promotion

ICML 2026poster

Biological learning proceeds from easy to difficult tasks, gradually reinforcing perception and robustness. Inspired by this principle, we address Context‑Entangled Content Segmentation (CECS)—a challenging setting where objects share intrinsic visual patterns with their surroundings, as in camoufla…

Probabilistic Token Alignment for Large Language Model Fusion

NeurIPS 2025poster

Training large language models (LLMs) from scratch can yield models with unique functionalities and strengths, but it is costly and often leads to redundant capabilities. A more cost-effective alternative is to fuse existing pre-trained LLMs with different architectures into a more powerful model. H…

Dr. Bokeh: DiffeRentiable Occlusion-aware Bokeh Rendering

CVPR 2024poster

Bokeh is widely used in photography to draw attention to the subject while effectively isolating distractions in the background. Computational methods can simulate bokeh effects without relying on a physical camera lens but the inaccurate lens modeling in existing filtering-based methods leads to ar…

Prototypical Transformer As Unified Motion Learners

ICML 2024poster

In this work, we introduce the Prototypical Transformer (ProtoFormer), a general and unified framework that approaches various motion tasks from a prototype perspective. ProtoFormer seamlessly integrates prototype learning with Transformer by thoughtfully considering motion dynamics, introducing two…

E^2VPT: An Effective and Efficient Approach for Visual Prompt Tuning

ICCV 2023poster

As the size of transformer-based models continues to grow, fine-tuning these large-scale pre-trained vision models for new tasks has become increasingly parameter-intensive. Parameter-efficient learning has been developed to reduce the number of tunable parameters during fine-tuning. Although these…

Physical Attack on Monocular Depth Estimation with Optimal Adversarial Patches

ECCV 2022poster

"Deep learning has substantially boosted the performance of Monocular Depth Estimation (MDE), a critical component in fully vision-based autonomous driving (AD) systems (e.g., Tesla and Toyota). In this work, we develop an attack against learning-based MDE. In particular, we use an optimization-base…

Towards Unbiased Label Distribution Learning for Facial Pose Estimation Using Anisotropic Spherical Gaussian

ECCV 2022poster

"Facial pose estimation refers to the task of predicting face orientation from a single RGB image. It is an important research topic with a wide range of applications in computer vision. Label distribution learning (LDL) based methods have been recently proposed for facial pose estimation, which ach…
