Appreciating multi-figure paintings requires understanding how characters relate through subtle cues like gaze alignment, gesture, and spatial arrangement. We present MIRAGE, an evidence-centric framework designed to scaffold the…
Low-dimensional projections of text embeddings support visual analysis of document collections, but their spatial organization may not reflect the relationships an analyst intends to examine. Existing semantic interaction approaches encode…
Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) plays a crucial role in fostering transparency and trust in AI systems, where traditional XAI approaches typically offer one level of abstraction for explanations, often in the form of heatmaps…
Scene understanding is an important capability for robots acting in unstructured environments. While most SLAM approaches provide a geometrical representation of the scene, a semantic map is necessary for more complex interactions with the…
Semantic communication is a novel communication paradigm which draws inspiration from human communication focusing on the delivery of the meaning of a message to the intended users. It has attracted significant interest recently due to its…
Mediated by today's visual displays, information space allows users to discover, access and interact with a wide range of digital and physical information. The information presented in this space may be digital, physical or a blend of both,…
We introduce Omni-MMSI, a new task that requires comprehensive social interaction understanding from raw audio, vision, and speech input. The task involves perceiving identity-attributed social cues (e.g., who is speaking what) and…
Metaphorical meaning is not a flat mapping between concepts, but a complex cognitive phenomenon that integrates multiple levels of interpretation. In this paper, we propose a stratified model of metaphor processing that treats meaning as an…
The main alternatives nowadays to deal with sequences are Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) architectures and the Transformer. In this context, RNN's, CNN's and Transformer have most commonly been used as…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and vector-based search have become foundational tools for memory in AI systems, yet they struggle with abstraction, scalability, and semantic precision - especially in decentralized environments. We…
Multi-task dense prediction aims to perform multiple pixel-level tasks simultaneously. However, capturing global cross-task interactions remains non-trivial due to the quadratic complexity of standard self-attention on high-resolution…
Interactive Narrative Systems (INS) have revolutionized digital experiences by empowering users to actively shape their stories, diverging from traditional passive storytelling. However, the field faces challenges due to fragmented research…
Handwritten mathematical expression recognition (HMER) has attracted extensive attention recently. However, current methods cannot explicitly study the interactions between different symbols, which may fail when faced similar symbols. To…
Image-sentence retrieval has attracted extensive research attention in multimedia and computer vision due to its promising application. The key issue lies in jointly learning the visual and textual representation to accurately estimate…
