We introduce ARGOS, the first benchmark and framework that reformulates multi-camera person search as an interactive reasoning problem requiring an agent to plan, question, and eliminate candidates under information asymmetry. An ARGOS…
Learning to infer labels in an open world, i.e., in an environment where the target "labels" are unknown, is an important characteristic for achieving autonomy. Foundation models pre-trained on enormous amounts of data have shown remarkable…
Zero-shot recognition aims to classify an image by selecting the most compatible label description from a set of candidate classes without any task-specific supervision. In fine-grained settings, however, the relevant evidence often lies in…
