Although shape correspondence is a central problem in geometry processing, most methods for this task apply only to two-dimensional surfaces. The neglected task of volumetric correspondence--a natural extension relevant to shapes extracted…
The nonliteral interpretation of a text is hard to be understood by machine models due to its high context-sensitivity and heavy usage of figurative language. In this study, inspired by human reading comprehension, we propose a novel,…
Comparison and evaluation of graph-based representations of sentence meaning is a challenge because competing representations of the same sentence may have different number of nodes, and it is not obvious which nodes should be compared to…
As a pivotal task that bridges remote visual and linguistic understanding, Remote Sensing Image-Text Retrieval (RSITR) has attracted considerable research interest in recent years. However, almost all RSITR methods implicitly assume that…
Training-free zero-shot composed image retrieval models are recently gaining increasing research interest due to their generalizability and flexibility in unseen multimodal retrieval. Recent LLM-based advances focus on generating the…
