As AI models grow larger, they become less insightful, not more. To ensure that they continue to learn, we need to reduce their inference time.
How do you match AI warnings about future events with what actually happens? A KDD test-of-time award recognizes a 2014 approach that modern systems still need.
In-context learning enables a model that can solve forecasting tasks with an arbitrary number of dimensions in a zero-shot manner.

WACV 20242024In this paper, we address the detection of co-occurring salient objects (CoSOD) in an image group using frequency statistics in an unsupervised manner, which further enable us to develop a semi-supervised method. While previous works have mostly focused on fully supervised CoSOD, less attention has been allocated to detecting co-salient objects when limited segmentation annotations are available for training

WACV 20242024Data augmentation is vital for object detection tasks that require expensive bounding box annotations. Recent successes in diffusion models have inspired the use of diffusion-based synthetic images for data augmentation. However, existing works have primarily focused on image classification, and their applicability to boost object detection’s performance remains unclear. To address this gap, we propose

WACV 20242024The asymmetrical retrieval setting is a well suited solution for resource constrained applications such as face recognition and image retrieval. In this setting, a large model is used for indexing the gallery while a lightweight model is used for querying. The key principle in such systems is ensuring that both models share the same embedding space. Most methods in this domain are based on knowledge distillation

WACV 20242024Grounding-based vision and language models have been successfully applied to low-level vision tasks, aiming to precisely locate objects referred in captions. The effectiveness of grounding representation learning heavily relies on the scale of the training dataset. Despite being a useful data enrichment strategy, data augmentation has received minimal attention in existing vision and language tasks as augmentation

WACV 20242024Deep Metric Learning (DML) methods aim at learning an embedding space in which distances are closely related to the inherent semantic similarity of the inputs. Previous studies have shown that popular benchmark datasets often contain numerous wrong labels, and DML methods are susceptible to them. Intending to study the effect of realistic noise, we create an ontology of the classes in a dataset and use
