Image manipulation localization (IML) faces a fundamental trade-off between minimizing annotation cost and achieving fine-grained localization accuracy. Existing fully-supervised IML methods depend heavily on dense pixel-level mask…

In few-shot learning, typically, the loss function which is applied at test time is the one we are ultimately interested in minimising, such as the mean-squared-error loss for a regression problem. However, given that we have few samples at…

Recently, prompt learning has become a new paradigm to utilize pre-trained language models (PLMs) and achieves promising results in downstream tasks with a negligible increase of parameters. The current usage of discrete and continuous…
