Region-R1: Reinforcing Query-Side Region Cropping for Multi-Modal Re-Ranking

Chan-Wei Hu, Zhengzhong Tu

Multi-modal retrieval-augmented generation (MM-RAG) relies heavily on re-rankers to surface the most relevant evidence for image-question queries. However, standard re-rankers typi…

FASA: Frequency-aware Sparse Attention

Yifei Wang, Yueqi Wang, Zhenrui Yue +6

The deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) faces a critical bottleneck when handling lengthy inputs: the prohibitive memory footprint of the Key Value (KV) cache. To address th…

FlowSteer: Conditioning Flow Field for Consistent Image Restoration

Tharindu Wickremasinghe, Chenyang Qi, Harshana Weligampola +2

Flow-based text-to-image (T2I) models excel at prompt-driven image generation, but falter on Image Restoration (IR), often "drifting away" from being faithful to the measurement. P…

Noisy-Pair Robust Representation Alignment for Positive-Unlabeled Learning

Hengwei Zhao, Zhengzhong Tu, Zhuo Zheng +4

Positive-Unlabeled (PU) learning aims to train a binary classifier (positive vs. negative) where only limited positive data and abundant unlabeled data are available. While widely…
