Flexible Geometric Guidance for Probabilistic Human Pose Estimation with Diffusion Models

Francis Snelgar, Ming Xu, Stephen Gould +2

3D human pose estimation from 2D images is a challenging problem due to depth ambiguity and occlusion. Because of these challenges the task is underdetermined, where there exists m…

Gromov Wasserstein Optimal Transport for Semantic Correspondences

Francis Snelgar, Stephen Gould, Ming Xu +2

Establishing correspondences between image pairs is a long studied problem in computer vision. With recent large-scale foundation models showing strong zero-shot performance on dow…

DiSA: Diffusion Step Annealing in Autoregressive Image Generation

Qinyu Zhao, Jaskirat Singh, Ming Xu +3

An increasing number of autoregressive models, such as MAR, FlowAR, xAR, and Harmon adopt diffusion sampling to improve the quality of image generation. However, this strategy lead…

Line-Search Filter Differential Dynamic Programming for Optimal Control with Nonlinear Equality Constraints

Ming Xu, Stephen Gould, Iman Shames

We present FilterDDP, a differential dynamic programming algorithm for solving discrete-time, optimal control problems (OCPs) with nonlinear equality constraints. Unlike prior meth…

Can We Predict Performance of Large Models across Vision-Language Tasks?

Qinyu Zhao, Ming Xu, Kartik Gupta +3

Evaluating large vision-language models (LVLMs) is very expensive, due to high computational cost and the wide variety of tasks. The good news is that if we already have some obser…

Temporally Consistent Unbalanced Optimal Transport for Unsupervised Action Segmentation

Ming Xu, Stephen Gould

We propose a novel approach to the action segmentation task for long, untrimmed videos, based on solving an optimal transport problem. By encoding a temporal consistency prior into…

The First to Know: How Token Distributions Reveal Hidden Knowledge in Large Vision-Language Models?

Qinyu Zhao, Ming Xu, Kartik Gupta +3

Large vision-language models (LVLMs), designed to interpret and respond to human instructions, occasionally generate hallucinated or harmful content due to inappropriate instructio…

Towards Optimal Feature-Shaping Methods for Out-of-Distribution Detection

Qinyu Zhao, Ming Xu, Kartik Gupta +3

Feature shaping refers to a family of methods that exhibit state-of-the-art performance for out-of-distribution (OOD) detection. These approaches manipulate the feature representat…

Revisiting Implicit Differentiation for Learning Problems in Optimal Control

Ming Xu, Timothy Molloy, Stephen Gould

This paper proposes a new method for differentiating through optimal trajectories arising from non-convex, constrained discrete-time optimal control (COC) problems using the implic…
