CertEx: Exact Visual Retrieval at Scale by Certified Exclusion

Dongfang Zhao

Exact -nearest-neighbor (kNN) search over image descriptors and embeddings underlies visual retrieval, near-duplicate detection, the evaluation of learned representations, and i…

RidgeRank: Efficient Visual Document Reranking via Score Fusion and a Shallow Linear Readout

Shubing Yang, Dongfang Zhao

Multimodal language models rerank visual document retrieval results accurately, but scoring every candidate page at full cost makes them slow. Some methods that compress these rera…

AdaWidth: Query-Adaptive Embedding Width for Dense Retrieval

Shubing Yang, Dongfang Zhao

High-dimensional embeddings are central to dense retrieval, but not all of these dimensions need to be evaluated at retrieval time. Existing methods reduce dimensions in two ways:…

SHEAF: Self-profiled Hardness Estimation from Answer-set Flux for Predicting Query Hardness in Graph-based ANN Search

Dongfang Zhao

Graph-based approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search is usually governed by a beam-width parameter that trades recall for throughput and is fixed for the whole workload. Yet, quer…

ETALE: Evolving Topology with Accelerated Lock-free Execution for Dynamic Graph ANN Search on GPUs

Dongfang Zhao

Graph-based approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) indexes on the GPU are originally built for static collections and must reconstruct the affected window to absorb any update, while t…

Slipstream: Locality-Aware Graph Index Construction for Streaming Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search

Shubing Yang, Dongfang Zhao

Graph indexes are widely used for high-recall approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS), but many real-time applications require streaming ANNS. In these real-time applications, c…

Enabling Practical and Privacy-Preserving Image Processing

Chao Wang, Shubing Yang, Xiaoyan Sun +2

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables computations on encrypted data, preserving confidentiality without the need for decryption. However, FHE is often hindered by significant…
