BREAK-THE-BEAT! CONTROLLABLE MIDI-TO-DRUM AUDIO SYNTHESIS

ICASSP 2026poster

Current methods for creating drum loop audio in digital music production, such as using one-shot samples or resampling, often demand non-trivial efforts of creators. While recent generative models achieve high fidelity and adhere to text, they lack the specific control needed for such a task. Existi…

Echoes Over Time: Unlocking Length Generalization in Video-to-Audio Generation Models

CVPR 2026

Scaling multimodal alignment between video and audio is challenging, particularly due to limited data and the mismatch between text descriptions and frame-level video information. In this work, we tackle the scaling challenge in multimodal-to-audio generation, examining whether models trained on sho

SAVGBENCH: BENCHMARKING SPATIALLY ALIGNED AUDIO-VIDEO GENERATION

ICASSP 2026poster

This work addresses the lack of multimodal generative models capable of producing high-quality videos with spatially aligned audio. While recent advancements in generative models have been successful in video generation, they often overlook the spatial alignment between audio and visuals, which is e…

Crowdsource, Crawl, or Generate? Creating SEA-VL, a Multicultural Vision-Language Dataset for Southeast Asia

ACL 2025long

Despite Southeast Asia’s (SEA) extraordinary linguistic and cultural diversity, the region remains significantly underrepresented in vision-language (VL) research, resulting in AI models that inadequately capture SEA cultural nuances. To fill this gap, we present SEA-VL, an open-source initiative de…

Mining your own secrets: Diffusion Classifier Scores for Continual Personalization of Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

ICLR 2025poster

Personalized text-to-image diffusion models have grown popular for their ability to efficiently acquire a new concept from user-defined text descriptions and a few images. However, in the real world, a user may wish to personalize a model on multiple concepts but one at a time, with no access to the…

TITAN-Guide: Taming Inference-Time Alignment for Guided Text-to-Video Diffusion Models

ICCV 2025poster

In the recent development of conditional diffusion models still require heavy supervised fine-tuning for performing control on a category of tasks. Training-free conditioning via guidance with off-the-shelf models is a favorable alternative to avoid further fine-tuning on the base model. However, th…

FLATTEN: optical FLow-guided ATTENtion for consistent text-to-video editing

ICLR 2024poster

Text-to-video editing aims to edit the visual appearance of a source video conditional on textual prompts. A major challenge in this task is to ensure that all frames in the edited video are visually consistent. Most recent works apply advanced text-to-image diffusion models to this task by inflati…

On Generalizing Beyond Domains in Cross-Domain Continual Learning

CVPR 2022poster

In the real world, humans have the ability to accumulate new knowledge in any conditions. However, deeplearning suffers from the phenomenon so-called catastrophic forgetting of the previously observed knowledge after learning a new task. Many recent methods focus on preventing catastrophic forgettin…

Reinforced Attention for Few-Shot Learning and Beyond

CVPR 2021poster

Few-shot learning aims to correctly recognize query samples from unseen classes given a limited number of support samples, often by relying on global embeddings of images. In this paper, we propose to equip the backbone network with an attention agent, which is trained by reinforcement learning. The…

Synthesized Feature Based Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning on a Mixture of Subspaces

ICCV 2021poster

Few-shot class incremental learning (FSCIL) aims to incrementally add sets of novel classes to a well-trained base model in multiple training sessions with the restriction that only a few novel instances are available per class. While learning novel classes, FSCIL methods gradually forget base (old)…

On Modulating the Gradient for Meta-Learning

ECCV 2020poster

Inspired by optimization techniques, we propose a novel meta-learning algorithm with gradient modulation to encourage fast-adaptation of neural networks in the absence of abundant data. Our method, termed ModGrad, is designed to circumvent the noisy nature of the gradients which is prevalent in low-…
