  • We find a strong positive correlation between the detection mAP and box stability score. This relationship allows us to predict the accuracy of detectors on various real-world test sets without accessing test ground truths, verified on vehicle detection and pedestrian detection tasks. To our knowledge, we are the first to propose the problem of unsupervised evaluation of object detection. The work is submitted to ICLR 2024.
  • To study the problem of analyzing classification performance in various unseen environments, we introduce CIFAR-10-W, which is a testbed with out-of-distribution test sets that have broad coverage of environmental discrepancies. We conduct extensive benchmarking and show that CIFAR-10-W offers interesting insights inherent to domain generalization and model accuracy prediction tasks. The work is submitted to ICLR 2024.
  • Automatic evaluation of the alignment for image generation. Work in progress.

  • Build efficient transformer module toolkit for CV, borrowing from efficient MSA in NLP (e.g. Linformer).
  • Study the information redundancy phenomenon existing in Transformer based on ViT, including token redundancy, and head redundancy.
  • From multi-scale and feature selection views, research the pyramid structure networks such as Swin and PVT for dense prediction tasks such as detection and segmentation.
