Tao Liu, Dafeng Zhang, Gengchen Li, Shizhuo Liu, Yongqi Song, Senmao Li, Shiqi Yang, Boqian Li, Kai Wang, Yaxing Wang Read Full Paper → Face aging has become a crucial task in computer vision, with applications ranging from entertainment to healthcare. However, existing methods struggle with achieving a realistic and seamless transformation across the entire lifespan, especially when handling large age gaps or extreme […]

Aniello Panariello, Daniel Marczak, Simone Magistri, Angelo Porrello, Bartłomiej Twardowski, Andrew D. Bagdanov, Simone Calderara, Joost van de Weijer Read Full Paper → In this paper, we address the challenges associated with merging low-rank adaptations of large neural networks. With the rise of parameter-efficient adaptation techniques, such as Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), model fine-tuning has become more accessible. While fine-tuning models with LoRA […]

Jiang Qin, Senmao Li, Alexandra Gomez-Villa, Shiqi Yang, Yaxing Wang, Kai Wang, Joost van de Weijer Read Full Paper → Recent advances in Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models have transformed image generation, enabling significant progress in stylized generation using only a few style reference images. However, current diffusion-based methods struggle with fine-grained style customization due to challenges in controlling multiple style attributes, […]

Dipam Goswami, Simone Magistri, Kai Wang, Bartłomiej Twardowski, Andrew D. Bagdanov, Joost van de Weijer Read Full Paper → Using pre-trained models has been found to reduce the effect of data heterogeneity and speed up federated learning algorithms. Recent works have investigated the use of first-order statistics and second-order statistics to aggregate local client data distributions at the server and […]

Grzegorz Rypeść, Sebastian Cygert, Tomasz Trzciński, Bartłomiej Twardowski Read Full Paper → Exemplar-Free Class Incremental Learning (EFCIL) tackles the problem of training a model on a sequence of tasks without access to past data. Existing state-of-the-art methods represent classes as Gaussian distributions in the feature extractor’s latent space, enabling Bayes classification or training the classifier by replaying pseudo […]

Taihang Hu, Linxuan Li, Joost van de Weijer, Hongcheng Gao, Fahad Shahbaz Khan, Jian Yang, Ming-Ming Cheng, Kai Wang, Yaxing Wang Read Full Paper → Although text-to-image (T2I) models exhibit remarkable generation capabilities, they frequently fail to accurately bind semantically related objects or attributes in the input prompts; a challenge termed semantic binding. Previous approaches either involve intensive fine-tuning of the entire T2I […]

Senmao Li, Taihang Hu, Joost van de Weijer, Fahad Shahbaz Khan, Tao Liu, Linxuan Li, Shiqi Yang, Yaxing Wang, Ming-Ming Cheng, Jian Yang Read Full Paper → One of the main drawback of diffusion models is the slow inference time for image generation. Among the most successful approaches to addressing this problem are distillation methods. However, these methods require considerable computational resources. In this […]

Dipam Goswami, Yuyang Liu, Bartłomiej Twardowski, Joost van de Weijer Read Full Paper → Exemplar-free class-incremental learning (CIL) poses several challenges since it prohibits the rehearsal of data from previous tasks and thus suffers from catastrophic forgetting. Recent approaches to incrementally learning the classifier by freezing the feature extractor after the first task have gained much attention. In […]
