All-in-One Image Restoration (AIO-IR) aims to develop a unified model that can handle multiple degradations under complex conditions. However, existing methods often rely on task-specific designs or latent routing strategies, making it hard to adapt to real-world scenarios with various degradations.
"Image-Text Retrieval (ITR) is challenging in bridging visual and lingual modalities. Contrastive learning has been adopted by most prior arts. Except for limited amount of negative image-text pairs, the capability of constrastive learning is restricted by manually weighting negative pairs as well a…
The goal of General Continual Learning (GCL) is to preserve learned knowledge and learn new knowledge with constant memory from an infinite data stream where task boundaries are blurry. Distilling the model's response of reserved samples between the old and the new models is an effective way to achi…
In this paper, we present a feature-augmentation approach called Masked Feature Generation Network (MFGN) for Few-Shot Learning (FSL), a challenging task that attempts to recognize the novel classes with a few visual instances for each class. Most of the feature-augmentation approaches tackle FSL ta…
Image-text matching plays a central role in bridging the semantic gap between vision and language. The key point to achieve precise visual-semantic alignment lies in capturing the fine-grained cross-modal correspondence between image and text. Most previous methods rely on single-step reasoning to d…
Image-text matching plays a central role in bridging vision and language. Most existing approaches only rely on the image-text instance pair to learn their representations, thereby exploiting their matching relationships and making the corresponding alignments. Such approaches only exploit the super…
We introduce a simple yet effective episode-based training framework for zero-shot learning (ZSL), where the learning system requires to recognize unseen classes given only the corresponding class semantics. During training, the model is trained within a collection of episodes, each of which is desi…
This paper studies the task of matching image and sentence, where learning appropriate representations to bridge the semantic gap between image contents and language appears to be the main challenge. Unlike previous approaches that predominantly deploy symmetrical architecture to represent both moda…
Zero-Shot Learning (ZSL) is generally achieved via aligning the semantic relationships between the visual features and the corresponding class semantic descriptions. However, using the global features to represent fine-grained images may lead to sub-optimal results since they neglect the discriminat…
