Mind the Tail: Data Selection Through Sparse Concepts

Ziheng Zhang, Neha Hulkund, Colin Lee +7

Data selection reallocates training support across visual concepts, including objects, attributes, color, texture, and backgrounds. Different allocation strategies may produce vari…

Lost at the End: Primacy Bias in Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Question Answering

Jieyuan Liu, Jianyang Gu, Shijie Chen +2

Knowledge-based visual question answering (KB-VQA) lets vision-language systems answer questions that exceed their parametric knowledge by conditioning a reader on passages retriev…

Leveraging Latent Visual Reasoning in Silence

Dongyao Zhu, Zhen Wang, Xi Xiao +7

Latent visual reasoning involves visual evidence more directly in multimodal reasoning by inserting continuous latent tokens before textual generation. However, the necessity of th…

TaxaAdapter: Vision Taxonomy Models are Key to Fine-grained Image Generation over the Tree of Life

Mridul Khurana, Amin Karimi Monsefi, Justin Lee +9

Accurately generating images across the Tree of Life is difficult: there are over 10M distinct species on Earth, many of which differ only by subtle visual traits. Despite the rema…

Lessons and Open Questions from a Unified Study of Camera-Trap Species Recognition Over Time

Sooyoung Jeon, Hongjie Tian, Lemeng Wang +7

Camera traps are vital for large-scale biodiversity monitoring, yet accurate automated analysis remains challenging due to diverse deployment environments. While the computer visio…

Finer-Personalization Rank: Fine-Grained Retrieval Examines Identity Preservation for Personalized Generation

Connor Kilrain, David Carlyn, Julia Chae +3

The rise of personalized generative models raises a central question: how should we evaluate identity preservation? Given a reference image (e.g., one's pet), we expect the generat…

BioCAP: Exploiting Synthetic Captions Beyond Labels in Biological Foundation Models

Ziheng Zhang, Xinyue Ma, Arpita Chowdhury +9

This work investigates descriptive captions as an additional source of supervision for biological multimodal foundation models. Images and captions can be viewed as complementary s…

BioCLIP 2: Emergent Properties from Scaling Hierarchical Contrastive Learning

Jianyang Gu, Samuel Stevens, Elizabeth G Campolongo +13

Foundation models trained at scale exhibit remarkable emergent behaviors, learning new capabilities beyond their initial training objectives. We find such emergent behaviors in bio…

Finer-CAM: Spotting the Difference Reveals Finer Details for Visual Explanation

Ziheng Zhang, Jianyang Gu, Arpita Chowdhury +5

Class activation map (CAM) has been widely used to highlight image regions that contribute to class predictions. Despite its simplicity and computational efficiency, CAM often stru…

Prompt-CAM: Making Vision Transformers Interpretable for Fine-Grained Analysis

Arpita Chowdhury, Dipanjyoti Paul, Zheda Mai +10

We present a simple approach to make pre-trained Vision Transformers (ViTs) interpretable for fine-grained analysis, aiming to identify and localize the traits that distinguish vis…

Static Segmentation by Tracking: A Label-Efficient Approach for Fine-Grained Specimen Image Segmentation

Zhenyang Feng, Zihe Wang, Jianyang Gu +22

We study image segmentation in the biological domain, particularly trait segmentation from specimen images (e.g., butterfly wing stripes, beetle elytra). This fine-grained task is…

Technical Report for ActivityNet Challenge 2022 -- Temporal Action Localization

Shimin Chen, Wei Li, Jianyang Gu +2

In the task of temporal action localization of ActivityNet-1.3 datasets, we propose to locate the temporal boundaries of each action and predict action class in untrimmed videos. W…
