Sketching algorithms or sketches have emerged as a promising alternative to the traditional packet sampling-based network telemetry solutions. At a high level, they are attractive because of their high resource efficiency and accuracy…
Recent deep image-to-image translation techniques allow fast generation of face images from freehand sketches. However, existing solutions tend to overfit to sketches, thus requiring professional sketches or even edge maps as input. To…
Provenance sketches, light-weight indexes that record what data is needed (is relevant) for answering a query, can significantly improve performance of important classes of queries (e.g., HAVING and top-k queries). Given a horizontal…
Retrieval augmented models are becoming increasingly popular for computer vision tasks after their recent success in NLP problems. The goal is to enhance the recognition capabilities of the model by retrieving similar examples for the…
The rapid advancement of generative models has made real and synthetic images increasingly indistinguishable. Although extensive efforts have been devoted to detecting AI-generated images, out-of-distribution generalization remains a…
Person re-identification (re-ID) requires densely distributed cameras. In practice, the person of interest may not be captured by cameras and, therefore, needs to be retrieved using subjective information (e.g., sketches from witnesses).…
Given an abstract, deformed, ordinary sketch from untrained amateurs like you and me, this paper turns it into a photorealistic image - just like those shown in Fig. 1(a), all non-cherry-picked. We differ significantly from prior art in…
Large machine learning models achieve unprecedented performance on various tasks and have evolved as the go-to technique. However, deploying these compute and memory hungry models on resource constraint environments poses new challenges. In…

Creative sketch is a universal way of visual expression, but translating images from an abstract sketch is very challenging. Traditionally, creating a deep learning model for sketch-to-image synthesis needs to overcome the distorted input…
We propose SketchINR, to advance the representation of vector sketches with implicit neural models. A variable length vector sketch is compressed into a latent space of fixed dimension that implicitly encodes the underlying shape as a…
Growing free online 3D shapes collections dictated research on 3D retrieval. Active debate has however been had on (i) what the best input modality is to trigger retrieval, and (ii) the ultimate usage scenario for such retrieval. In this…
Finding persistent sparse (PS) flow is critical to early warning of many threats. Previous works have predominantly focused on either heavy or persistent flows, with limited attention given to PS flows. Although some recent studies pay…
Iteratively refining and critiquing sketches are crucial steps to developing effective designs. We introduce Scones, a mixed-initiative, machine-learning-driven system that enables users to iteratively author sketches from text…
