Graphic layout generation is a growing research area focusing on generating aesthetically pleasing layouts ranging from poster designs to documents. While recent research has explored ways to incorporate user constraints to guide the layout…
The key challenge in designing a sketch representation lies with handling the abstract and iconic nature of sketches. Existing work predominantly utilizes either, (i) a pixelative format that treats sketches as natural images employing…
Sketching enables many exciting applications, notably, image retrieval. The fear-to-sketch problem (i.e., "I can't sketch") has however proven to be fatal for its widespread adoption. This paper tackles this "fear" head on, and for the…
Semantic scene completion (SSC) aims to predict the semantic occupancy of each voxel in the entire 3D scene from limited observations, which is an emerging and critical task for autonomous driving. Recently, many studies have turned to…
To capture individual gait patterns, excluding identity-irrelevant cues in walking videos, such as clothing texture and color, remains a persistent challenge for vision-based gait recognition. Traditional silhouette- and pose-based methods,…
In this paper, we propose a novel deep framework for part-level semantic parsing of freehand sketches, which makes three main contributions that are experimentally shown to have substantial practical merit. First, we propose a homogeneous…
A fundamental challenge faced by existing Fine-Grained Sketch-Based Image Retrieval (FG-SBIR) models is the data scarcity -- model performances are largely bottlenecked by the lack of sketch-photo pairs. Whilst the number of photos can be…
Visual knowledge bases such as Visual Genome power numerous applications in computer vision, including visual question answering and captioning, but suffer from sparse, incomplete relationships. All scene graph models to date are limited to…
Serial sectioning Optical Coherence Tomography (sOCT) is a high-throughput, label free microscopic imaging technique that is becoming increasingly popular to study post-mortem neurovasculature. Quantitative analysis of the vasculature…
Frailty is a condition in aging medicine characterized by diminished physiological reserve and increased vulnerability to stressors. However, frailty assessment remains subjective, heterogeneous, and difficult to scale in clinical practice.…
Human visual system has the strong ability to quick assess the perceptual similarity between two facial sketches. However, existing two widely-used facial sketch metrics, e.g., FSIM and SSIM fail to address this perceptual similarity in…
Gait analysis provides an objective characterization of locomotor function and is widely used to support diagnosis and rehabilitation monitoring across neurological and orthopedic disorders. Deep learning has been increasingly applied to…
Noise and artifacts during computed tomography (CT) scans are a fundamental challenge affecting disease diagnosis. However, current methods either involve excessively long reconstruction times or rely on data-driven models for optimization,…
Gait recognition holds the promise to robustly identify subjects based on walking patterns instead of appearance information. In recent years, this field has been dominated by learning methods based on two principal input representations:…
Semi-supervised learning has emerged as a powerful paradigm for leveraging large amounts of unlabeled data to improve the performance of machine learning models when labeled data are scarce. Among existing approaches, methods derived from…
Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in generative AI, with natural language emerging as the most common conditioning input. As underlying models grow more powerful, researchers are exploring increasingly diverse conditioning…
Scene graph generation (SGG) is a sophisticated task that suffers from both complex visual features and dataset long-tail problem. Recently, various unbiased strategies have been proposed by designing novel loss functions and data balancing…
Gait recognition, which refers to the recognition or identification of a person based on their body shape and walking styles, derived from video data captured from a distance, is widely used in crime prevention, forensic identification, and…
Large-scale vision-language pre-training has achieved significant performance in multi-modal understanding and generation tasks. However, existing methods often perform poorly on image-text matching tasks that require structured…
Multimodal UI design and development tools that interpret sketches or natural language descriptions of UIs inherently have notations: the inputs they can understand. In AI-based systems, notations are implicitly defined by the data used to…
