Capturing digital screens with smartphones frequently induces severe banding due to hardware synchronization mismatches. Existing video restoration methods struggle with these structured, periodic luminance fluctuations, often resulting in…

Human decision-making often involves combining similar states into categories and reasoning at the level of the categories rather than the actual states. Guided by this intuition, we propose a novel method for clustering state features in…

With the swift progression of image generation technology, the widespread emergence of facial deepfakes poses significant challenges to the field of security, thus amplifying the urgent need for effective deepfake detection.Existing…

Multiple complex degradations are coupled in low-quality video faces in the real world. Therefore, blind video face restoration is a highly challenging ill-posed problem, requiring not only hallucinating high-fidelity details but also…

Blind face restoration (BFR) is a challenging problem because of the uncertainty of the degradation patterns. This paper proposes a Restoration with Memorized Modulation (RMM) framework for universal BFR in diverse degraded scenes and…

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) achieve outstanding performance, yet their huge model size severely hinders deployment on edge devices with limited resources. As an efficient model compression technique, vector quantization (VQ) excels in…

The Residual Quantization (RQ) framework is revisited where the quantization distortion is being successively reduced in multi-layers. Inspired by the reverse-water-filling paradigm in rate-distortion theory, an efficient regularization on…

The rapid growth of visual data under stringent storage and bandwidth constraints makes extremely low-bitrate image compression increasingly important. While Vector Quantization (VQ) offers strong structural fidelity, existing methods lack…

To improve the performance of blind face restoration, recent works mainly treat the two aspects, i.e., generic and specific restoration, separately. In particular, generic restoration attempts to restore the results through general facial…

Deep learning has brought significant improvements to the field of cross-modal representation learning. For tasks such as text-to-speech (TTS), voice conversion (VC), and automatic speech recognition (ASR), a cross-modal fine-grained…

Blind face restoration (BFR) may correspond to multiple plausible high-quality (HQ) reconstructions under extremely low-quality (LQ) inputs. However, existing methods typically produce deterministic results, struggling to capture this…

Blind face restoration usually encounters with diverse scale face inputs, especially in the real world. However, most of the current works support specific scale faces, which limits its application ability in real-world scenarios. In this…

Vectorized quantum block encoding provides a way to embed classical data into Hilbert space, offering a pathway for quantum models, such as Quantum Transformers (QT), that replace classical self-attention with quantum circuit simulations to…

Existing deep quantization methods provided an efficient solution for large-scale image retrieval. However, the significant intra-class variations like pose, illumination, and expressions in face images, still pose a challenge for face…

Blind face restoration (BFR) is important while challenging. Prior works prefer to exploit GAN-based frameworks to tackle this task due to the balance of quality and efficiency. However, these methods suffer from poor stability and…

Recognizability, a key perceptual factor in human face processing, strongly affects the performance of face recognition (FR) systems in both verification and identification tasks. Effectively using recognizability to enhance feature…

Solving tough clinical questions that require both image and text understanding is still a major challenge in healthcare AI. In this work, we propose Q-FSRU, a new model that combines Frequency Spectrum Representation and Fusion (FSRU) with…

Generating emotional talking faces is a practical yet challenging endeavor. To create a lifelike avatar, we draw upon two critical insights from a human perspective: 1) The connection between audio and the non-deterministic facial dynamics,…

Blind face inpainting refers to the task of reconstructing visual contents without explicitly indicating the corrupted regions in a face image. Inherently, this task faces two challenges: (1) how to detect various mask patterns of different…

Face restoration under complex degradations still remains an ill-posed inverse problem due to severe information loss. Although diffusion models benefit from strong generative priors, most methods still condition only on low-quality inputs,…
