Focal-SAM: Focal Sharpness-Aware Minimization for Long-Tailed Classification
Sicong Li, Qianqian Xu, Zhiyong Yang +4
Real-world datasets often follow a long-tailed distribution, making generalization to tail classes difficult. Recent methods resorted to long-tail variants of Sharpness-Aware Minim…
One Image is Worth a Thousand Words: A Usability Preservable Text-Image Collaborative Erasing Framework
Feiran Li, Qianqian Xu, Shilong Bao +3
Concept erasing has recently emerged as an effective paradigm to prevent text-to-image diffusion models from generating visually undesirable or even harmful content. However, curre…
Suppress Content Shift: Better Diffusion Features via Off-the-Shelf Generation Techniques
Benyuan Meng, Qianqian Xu, Zitai Wang +3
Diffusion models are powerful generative models, and this capability can also be applied to discrimination. The inner activations of a pre-trained diffusion model can serve as feat…
Not All Diffusion Model Activations Have Been Evaluated as Discriminative Features
Benyuan Meng, Qianqian Xu, Zitai Wang +2
Diffusion models are initially designed for image generation. Recent research shows that the internal signals within their backbones, named activations, can also serve as dense fea…
Improved Diversity-Promoting Collaborative Metric Learning for Recommendation
Shilong Bao, Qianqian Xu, Zhiyong Yang +3
Collaborative Metric Learning (CML) has recently emerged as a popular method in recommendation systems (RS), closing the gap between metric learning and collaborative filtering. Fo…
Top-K Pairwise Ranking: Bridging the Gap Among Ranking-Based Measures for Multi-Label Classification
Zitai Wang, Qianqian Xu, Zhiyong Yang +4
Multi-label ranking, which returns multiple top-ranked labels for each instance, has a wide range of applications for visual tasks. Due to its complicated setting, prior arts have…
Sequential Manipulation Against Rank Aggregation: Theory and Algorithm
Ke Ma, Qianqian Xu, Jinshan Zeng +4
Rank aggregation with pairwise comparisons is widely encountered in sociology, politics, economics, psychology, sports, etc . Given the enormous social impact and the consequent in…
Size-invariance Matters: Rethinking Metrics and Losses for Imbalanced Multi-object Salient Object Detection
Feiran Li, Qianqian Xu, Shilong Bao +4
This paper explores the size-invariance of evaluation metrics in Salient Object Detection (SOD), especially when multiple targets of diverse sizes co-exist in the same image. We ob…
DirMixE: Harnessing Test Agnostic Long-tail Recognition with Hierarchical Label Variations
Zhiyong Yang, Qianqian Xu, Sicong Li +3
This paper explores test-agnostic long-tail recognition, a challenging long-tail task where the test label distributions are unknown and arbitrarily imbalanced. We argue that the v…
DRAUC: An Instance-wise Distributionally Robust AUC Optimization Framework
Siran Dai, Qianqian Xu, Zhiyong Yang +2
The Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) is a widely employed metric in long-tailed classification scenarios. Nevertheless, most existing methods primarily assume that training and testi…
A Unified Perspective for Loss-Oriented Imbalanced Learning via Localization
Zitai Wang, Qianqian Xu, Zhiyong Yang +4
Due to the inherent imbalance in real-world datasets, naïve Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM) tends to bias the learning process towards the majority classes, hindering generalizat…
LSGNN: Towards General Graph Neural Network in Node Classification by Local Similarity
Yuhan Chen, Yihong Luo, Jing Tang +4
Heterophily has been considered as an issue that hurts the performance of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). To address this issue, some existing work uses a graph-level weighted fusion…
CIR-Net: Cross-modality Interaction and Refinement for RGB-D Salient Object Detection
