1/n New paper - V-GIFT 🎁 Self-supervised tasks like rotation prediction or colorization were big in 2018. Do they still matter? Yes. We turn them into visual instruction tuning data for MLLMs. Result: models rely more on the image and perform better on vision tasks 👀

🚗🌐 Working on domain adaptation for 3D point clouds / LiDAR? We'll present MuDDoS at BMVC: a method that boosts multimodal distillation for 3D semantic segmentation under domain shift. 📍 BMVC 🕚 Monday, Poster Session 1: Multimodal Learning (11:00–12:30) 📌 Hadfield Hall #859

Come say hi to our poster October 21st at 11:45 poster session 1 (#399)! We introduce unsupervised post-training of ViTs that enhances dense features for in-context tasks. First conference as a PhD student, really excited to meet new people.

1/n 🚀New paper out - accepted at #ICCV2025! Introducing DIP: unsupervised post-training that enhances dense features in pretrained ViTs for dense in-context scene understanding Below: Low-shot in-context semantic segmentation examples. DIP features outperform DINOv2!

Discovered that our RangeViT paper keeps being cited in what might be LLM-generated papers. Number of citations increased rapidly in the last weeks. Too good to be true. Papers popped up on different platforms, but mainly on ResearchGate with ~80 papers in just 3 weeks. [1/]

SKADA-Bench : Benchmarking Unsupervised Domain Adaptation Methods with Realistic Validation On Diverse Modalities, has been published published in TMLR today 🚀. It was a huge team effort to design (and publish) an open source fully reproducible DA benchmark 🧵1/n. openreview.net/forum?id=k9F...

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (DA) consists of adapting a model trained on a labeled source domain to perform well on an unlabeled target domain with some data distribution shift. While many...

1/ Can open-data models beat DINOv2? Today we release Franca, a fully open-sourced vision foundation model. Franca with ViT-G backbone matches (and often beats) proprietary models like SigLIPv2, CLIP, DINOv2 on various benchmarks setting a new standard for open-source research.

The most important aspect when facing data shift is the type of shift present in the data. I will give below a few examples of shifts and some existing methods to compensate for it.🧵1/6
