Selected Publications
Specialist Diffusion: Plug-and-Play Sample-Efficient Fine-Tuning of Text-to-Image Diffusion Models to Learn Any Unseen Style
IEEE / CVF Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR), 2023
In this paper, we aim to learn an unseen style, so that the fine-tuned model can generate high-quality images of arbitrary objects in this style.
C4Net: Contextual Compression and Complementary Combination Network for Salient Object Detection
BMVC, 2021
The paper proposes a salient object detection model using feature concatenation, complementary feature extraction, excessiveness loss, and pyramid-semantic guidance.
