Multi-task learns multiple tasks, while sharing knowledge and computation among them. However, it suffers from catastrophic forgetting of previous knowledge when learned incrementally without access to the old data. Most existing object…
Anomaly detection and localization in images is a growing field in computer vision. In this area, a seemingly understudied problem is anomaly clustering, i.e., identifying and grouping different types of anomalies in a fully unsupervised…
Fueled by algorithmic advances, AI algorithms are increasingly being deployed in settings subject to unanticipated challenges with complex social effects. Motivated by real-world deployment of AI driven, social-network based suicide…
As an essential problem in computer vision, salient object detection (SOD) has attracted an increasing amount of research attention over the years. Recent advances in SOD are predominantly led by deep learning-based solutions (named deep…
The goal of object detection is to find objects in an image. An object detector accepts an image and produces a list of locations as $(x,y)$ pairs. Here we introduce a new concept: {\bf location-based boosting}. Location-based boosting…
Object discovery, which refers to the task of localizing objects without human annotations, has gained significant attention in 2D image analysis. However, despite this growing interest, it remains under-explored in 3D data, where…
Visual place recognition tasks often encounter significant challenges in landmark detection due to the presence of irrelevant objects such as humans, cars, and trees, despite the remarkable progress achieved by previous models, especially…
Salient objects attract human attention and usually stand out clearly from their surroundings. In contrast, camouflaged objects share similar colors or textures with the environment. In this case, salient objects are typically…
Automated driving object detection has always been a challenging task in computer vision due to environmental uncertainties. These uncertainties include significant differences in object sizes and encountering the class unseen. It may…
Clustering is a widely-used data mining tool, which aims to discover partitions of similar items in data. We introduce a new clustering paradigm, \emph{accordant clustering}, which enables the discovery of (predefined) group level insights.…
Feature matching is a cornerstone task in computer vision, essential for applications such as image retrieval, stereo matching, 3D reconstruction, and SLAM. This survey comprehensively reviews modality-based feature matching, exploring…
A growing body of work studies Blindspot Discovery Methods ("BDM"s): methods that use an image embedding to find semantically meaningful (i.e., united by a human-understandable concept) subsets of the data where an image classifier performs…
The U-shape structure has shown its advantage in salient object detection for efficiently combining multi-scale features. However, most existing U-shape based methods focused on improving the bottom-up and top-down pathways while ignoring…
Camouflaged object detection (COD) primarily relies on semantic or instance segmentation methods. While these methods have made significant advancements in identifying the contours of camouflaged objects, they may be inefficient or…

We propose an attentive local feature descriptor suitable for large-scale image retrieval, referred to as DELF (DEep Local Feature). The new feature is based on convolutional neural networks, which are trained only with image-level…
Many data problems are solved when the right view of a combination of datasets is identified. Finding such a view is challenging because of the many tables spread across many databases, data lakes, and cloud storage in modern organizations.…
Access to diverse perspectives is essential for understanding real-world events, yet most news retrieval systems prioritize textual relevance, leading to redundant results and limited viewpoint exposure. We propose NEWSCOPE, a two-stage…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems are increasingly deployed on large-scale document collections, often comprising millions of documents and tens of millions of text chunks. In industrial-scale retrieval platforms, scalability is…
Deep learning (DL) based object detection has achieved great progress. These methods typically assume that large amount of labeled training data is available, and training and test data are drawn from an identical distribution. However, the…
