We are interested in counting the number of instances of object classes in natural, everyday images. Previous counting approaches tackle the problem in restricted domains such as counting pedestrians in surveillance videos. Counts can also…
Current text-to-image (T2I) generation models struggle to align spatial composition with the input text, especially in complex scenes. Even layout-based approaches yield suboptimal spatial control, as their generation process is decoupled…
The area of domain adaptation has been instrumental in addressing the domain shift problem encountered by many applications. This problem arises due to the difference between the distributions of source data used for training in comparison…

Open-vocabulary object detectors such as Grounding DINO are trained on vast and diverse data, achieving remarkable performance on challenging datasets. Due to that, it is unclear where to find their limitations, which is of major concern…
Detecting objects of interest through language often presents challenges, particularly with objects that are uncommon or complex to describe, due to perceptual discrepancies between automated models and human annotators. These challenges…
Low-shot object counters estimate the number of objects in an image using few or no annotated exemplars. Objects are localized by matching them to prototypes, which are constructed by unsupervised image-wide object appearance aggregation.…
We introduce \textbf{Evo}, a duality latent trajectory model that bridges autoregressive (AR) and diffusion-based language generation within a continuous evolutionary generative framework. Rather than treating AR decoding and diffusion…
