Elastic Token Compression for Pixel-Space Diffusion Transformers

Eduard Zamfir, Christian Reisswig, Zongwei Wu +2

Natural images concentrate their detail in a small fraction of the frame, yet diffusion models spend a full token on every patch, in every layer and at every timestep. The waste is…

I2DFormer: Learning Image to Document Attention for Zero-Shot Image Classification

Muhammad Ferjad Naeem, Yongqin Xian, Luc Van Gool +1

Despite the tremendous progress in zero-shot learning(ZSL), the majority of existing methods still rely on human-annotated attributes, which are difficult to annotate and scale. An…

Attribute Prototype Network for Any-Shot Learning

Wenjia Xu, Yongqin Xian, Jiuniu Wang +2

Any-shot image classification allows to recognize novel classes with only a few or even zero samples. For the task of zero-shot learning, visual attributes have been shown to play…

VGSE: Visually-Grounded Semantic Embeddings for Zero-Shot Learning

Wenjia Xu, Yongqin Xian, Jiuniu Wang +2

Human-annotated attributes serve as powerful semantic embeddings in zero-shot learning. However, their annotation process is labor-intensive and needs expert supervision. Current u…

3D Compositional Zero-shot Learning with DeCompositional Consensus

Muhammad Ferjad Naeem, Evin Pınar Örnek, Yongqin Xian +2

Parts represent a basic unit of geometric and semantic similarity across different objects. We argue that part knowledge should be composable beyond the observed object classes. To…

Learning Graph Embeddings for Open World Compositional Zero-Shot Learning

Massimiliano Mancini, Muhammad Ferjad Naeem, Yongqin Xian +1

Compositional Zero-Shot learning (CZSL) aims to recognize unseen compositions of state and object visual primitives seen during training. A problem with standard CZSL is the assump…

Distilling Audio-Visual Knowledge by Compositional Contrastive Learning

Yanbei Chen, Yongqin Xian, A. Sophia Koepke +2

Having access to multi-modal cues (e.g. vision and audio) empowers some cognitive tasks to be done faster compared to learning from a single modality. In this work, we propose to t…

A Closer Look at Self-training for Zero-Label Semantic Segmentation

Giuseppe Pastore, Fabio Cermelli, Yongqin Xian +3

Being able to segment unseen classes not observed during training is an important technical challenge in deep learning, because of its potential to reduce the expensive annotation…

Learning Graph Embeddings for Compositional Zero-shot Learning

Muhammad Ferjad Naeem, Yongqin Xian, Federico Tombari +1

In compositional zero-shot learning, the goal is to recognize unseen compositions (e.g. old dog) of observed visual primitives states (e.g. old, cute) and objects (e.g. car, dog) i…

Prototype-based Incremental Few-Shot Semantic Segmentation

Fabio Cermelli, Massimiliano Mancini, Yongqin Xian +2

Semantic segmentation models have two fundamental weaknesses: i) they require large training sets with costly pixel-level annotations, and ii) they have a static output space, cons…
