Weakly-supervised semantic segmentation under image tags supervision is a challenging task as it directly associates high-level semantic to low-level appearance. To bridge this gap, in this paper, we propose an iterative bottom-up and…
Vision-language models (VLMs), such as CLIP, have shown strong generalization under zero-shot settings, yet adapting them to downstream tasks with limited supervision remains a significant challenge. Existing multi-modal prompt learning…
We consider the problem of recognizing a vocabulary--a collection of words (sequences) over a finite alphabet--from a potential subsequence of one of its words. We assume the given subsequence is received through a deletion channel as a…
Pattern counting in graphs is fundamental to network science tasks, and there are many scalable methods for approximating counts of small patterns, often called motifs, in large graphs. However, modern graph datasets now contain richer…
