Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable progress in natural language processing tasks, inspiring researchers to explore similar approaches for text-to-image synthesis. At the same time, diffusion models have become the dominant approach in visual generation. However, the operational differences between the two approaches present a significant challenge in developing a unified methodology for language…

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods, like low-rank adaptation (LoRA), allow large pre-trained foundation models to be adapted to downstream tasks using a small percentage (0.1%-10%) of the original trainable weights. A less explored area of PEFT is extending the pre-training phase without supervised labels—specifically, adapting foundation models to new domains using efficient self-supervised pre-training. While traditional…

Dense geometry prediction in computer vision involves estimating properties like depth and surface normals for each pixel in an image. Accurate geometry prediction is critical for applications such as robotics, autonomous driving, and augmented reality, but current methods often require extensive training on labeled datasets and struggle to generalize across diverse tasks. Existing methods for…

Biomedical vision models are increasingly used in clinical settings, but a significant challenge is their inability to generalize effectively due to dataset shifts—discrepancies between training data and real-world scenarios. These shifts arise from differences in image acquisition, changes in disease manifestations, and population variance. As a result, models trained on limited or biased datasets often…

Large language and vision models (LLVMs) face a critical challenge in balancing performance improvements with computational efficiency. As models grow in size, reaching up to 80B parameters, they deliver impressive results but require massive hardware resources for training and inference. This issue becomes even more pressing for real-time applications, such as augmented reality (AR), where…
