    CVPR, 2023

    In this work, by rethinking the inherent relationship between the face of target identity and its variants, we introduce a new pipeline of Generalized Manifold Adversarial Attack (GMAA) to achieve a better attack performance by expanding the attack range.

    Task Residual for Tuning Vision-Language Models
    Tao Yu*, Zhihe Lu*, Xin Jin, Zhibo Chen, Xinchao Wang
    CVPR, 2023  
    arxiv / code /

    In this work, we propose a new efficient tuning approach for VLMs named Task Residual Tuning (TaskRes), which performs directly on the text-based classifier and explicitly decouples the prior knowledge of the pre-trained models and new knowledge regarding a target task.

    Deliberated Domain Bridging for Domain Adaptive Semantic Segmentation
    Lin Chen*, Zhixiang Wei*, Xin Jin*(equal), Huaian Chen, Kai Chen, Yi Jin
    NeurIPS, 2022  
    arxiv / code /

    In this work, we resort to data mixing to establish a deliberated domain bridging (DDB) for domain adaptive semantic segmentation. The joint distributions of source and target domains are aligned and interacted with each other in the intermediate space.

    Image Coding for Machines with Omnipotent Feature Learning

    In this paper, we attempt to learn a kind of omnipotent feature that is both general (for AI tasks) and compact (for compression) for Image Coding for Machines (ICM). Considering self-supervised learning (SSL) improves feature generalization, we integrate it with the compression task to learn such features.

    The key to solving this more challenging real image super-resolution (RealSR) problem lies in learning feature representations that are both informative and content-aware. We propose an Omni-frequency Region-adaptive Network (OR-Net), here we call features of all low, middle and high frequencies omni-frequency features.

    Style normalization and restitution for generalizable person re-identification

    paper / code /

    We propose a simple yet effective Style Normalization and Restitution (SNR) module. Specifically, we filter out style variations (eg, illumination, color contrast) by Instance Normalization (IN). However, such a process inevitably removes discriminative information. We propose to distill identity-relevant feature from the removed information and restitute it to the network to ensure high discrimination.
