FastDINOv2: Frequency Based Curriculum Learning Improves Robustness and Training Speed

NeurIPS 2025poster

Large-scale vision foundation models such as DINOv2 boast impressive performances by leveraging massive architectures and training datasets. The expense of large-scale pre-training puts such research out of reach for many, hence limiting scientific advancements. We thus propose a novel pretraining s…

Jade: A Differentiable Physics Engine for Articulated Rigid Bodies with Intersection-Free Frictional Contact

ICRA 2024poster

We present Jade, a differentiable physics engine for articulated rigid bodies. Jade models contacts as the Linear Complementarity Problem (LCP). Compared to existing differentiable simulations, Jade offers features including intersection-free collision simulation and stable LCP solutions for multipl…

Robustness of Deep Equilibrium Architectures to Changes in the Measurement Model

ICASSP 2023accepted

Deep model-based architectures (DMBAs) are widely used in imaging inverse problems to integrate physical measurement models and learned image priors. Plug-and-play priors (PnP) and deep equilibrium models (DEQ) are two DMBA frameworks that have received significant attention. The key difference betw…

SINCO: A Novel Structural Regularizer for Image Compression Using Implicit Neural Representations

ICASSP 2023accepted

Implicit neural representations (INR) have been recently proposed as deep learning (DL) based solutions for image compression. An image can be compressed by training an INR model with fewer weights than the number of image pixels to map the coordinates of the image to corresponding pixel values. Whi…
