Benchmarking Vision-Language Models for Microscopic Plant Image Understanding
Tianqi Wei, Xin Yu, Zhi Chen +2
Microscopic imaging provides essential visual evidence for studying plant biology and pathology at the cellular and subcellular levels. However, existing benchmarks on vision-langu…
StomataSeg: Semi-Supervised Instance Segmentation for Sorghum Stomatal Components
Zhongtian Huang, Zhi Chen, Zi Huang +8
Sorghum is a globally important cereal grown widely in water-limited and stress-prone regions. Its strong drought tolerance makes it a priority crop for climate-resilient agricultu…
Generative Recall, Dense Reranking: Learning Multi-View Semantic IDs for Efficient Text-to-Video Retrieval
Zecheng Zhao, Zhi Chen, Zi Huang +2
Text-to-Video Retrieval (TVR) is essential in video platforms. Dense retrieval with dual-modality encoders leads in accuracy, but its computation and storage scale poorly with corp…
Cluster-Aware Prompt Ensemble Learning for Few-Shot Vision-Language Model Adaptation
Zhi Chen, Xin Yu, Xiaohui Tao +2
Vision-language models (VLMs) such as CLIP achieve zero-shot transfer across various tasks by pre-training on numerous image-text pairs. These models often benefit from using an en…
Augment to Segment: Tackling Pixel-Level Imbalance in Wheat Disease and Pest Segmentation
Tianqi Wei, Xin Yu, Zhi Chen +2
Accurate segmentation of foliar diseases and insect damage in wheat is crucial for effective crop management and disease control. However, the insect damage typically occupies only…
Are Synthetic Videos Useful? A Benchmark for Retrieval-Centric Evaluation of Synthetic Videos
Zecheng Zhao, Selena Song, Tong Chen +3
Text-to-video (T2V) synthesis has advanced rapidly, yet current evaluation metrics primarily capture visual quality and temporal consistency, offering limited insight into how synt…
