Seeing Further on the Shoulders of Giants: Knowledge Inheritance for Vision Foundation Models
Jiabo Huang, Chen Chen, Lingjuan Lyu
Vision foundation models (VFMs) are predominantly developed using data-centric methods. These methods require training on vast amounts of data usually with high-quality labels, whi…
FEDEXCHANGE: Bridging the Domain Gap in Federated Object Detection for Free
Haolin Yuan, Jingtao Li, Weiming Zhuang +2
Federated Object Detection (FOD) enables clients to collaboratively train a global object detection model without accessing their local data from diverse domains. However, signific…
UNIFORM: Unifying Knowledge from Large-scale and Diverse Pre-trained Models
Yimu Wang, Weiming Zhuang, Chen Chen +3
In the era of deep learning, the increasing number of pre-trained models available online presents a wealth of knowledge. These models, developed with diverse architectures and tra…
Closer to Reality: Practical Semi-Supervised Federated Learning for Foundation Model Adaptation
Guangyu Sun, Jingtao Li, Weiming Zhuang +2
Foundation models (FMs) exhibit remarkable generalization but require adaptation to downstream tasks, particularly in privacy-sensitive applications. Due to data privacy regulation…
