VESSA: Video-based objEct-centric Self-Supervised Adaptation for Visual Foundation Models
Jesimon Barreto, Carlos Caetano, André Araujo +1
Foundation models have advanced computer vision by enabling strong performance across diverse tasks through large-scale pretraining and supervised fine-tuning. However, they may un…
Global-to-Local or Local-to-Global? Enhancing Image Retrieval with Efficient Local Search and Effective Global Re-ranking
Dror Aiger, Bingyi Cao, Kaifeng Chen +1
The dominant paradigm in image retrieval systems today is to search large databases using global image features, and re-rank those initial results with local image feature matching…
Infusing fine-grained visual knowledge to Vision-Language Models
Nikolaos-Antonios Ypsilantis, Kaifeng Chen, André Araujo +1
Large-scale contrastive pre-training produces powerful Vision-and-Language Models (VLMs) capable of generating representations (embeddings) effective for a wide variety of visual a…
UDON: Universal Dynamic Online distillatioN for generic image representations
Nikolaos-Antonios Ypsilantis, Kaifeng Chen, André Araujo +1
Universal image representations are critical in enabling real-world fine-grained and instance-level recognition applications, where objects and entities from any domain must be ide…
HAMMR: HierArchical MultiModal React agents for generic VQA
Lluis Castrejon, Thomas Mensink, Howard Zhou +3
Combining Large Language Models (LLMs) with external specialized tools (LLMs+tools) is a recent paradigm to solve multimodal tasks such as Visual Question Answering (VQA). While th…
Optimization of Rank Losses for Image Retrieval
Elias Ramzi, Nicolas Audebert, Clément Rambour +3
In image retrieval, standard evaluation metrics rely on score ranking, \eg average precision (AP), recall at k (R@k), normalized discounted cumulative gain (NDCG). In this work we…
Towards Universal Image Embeddings: A Large-Scale Dataset and Challenge for Generic Image Representations
Nikolaos-Antonios Ypsilantis, Kaifeng Chen, Bingyi Cao +7
Fine-grained and instance-level recognition methods are commonly trained and evaluated on specific domains, in a model per domain scenario. Such an approach, however, is impractica…
