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…
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…
