We tackle fine-grained indoor localization from natural language: given a free-form description of one's surroundings, estimate the observer's 2D position and heading within a known 3D environment. Language queries are lightweight, privacy-preserving, and need no camera - yet prior work stops at coarse scene retrieval and cannot resolve an intra-scene pose. We close this gap with LangLoc, a three-stage pipeline that (i) retrieves the correct scene via a dual-branch GATv2 encoder with CLIP semantic features, surpassing the previous best by 8 percentage points in Top-1 recall; (ii) estimates position and heading by scoring a dense floor grid through ray-cast object visibility, reaching a median error of 0.95 m; and (iii) resolves residual ambiguity through a Bayesian dialog module that asks targeted yes/no questions and updates a pose posterior until the location is pinpointed. To support this task we contribute a benchmark of $13{,}000{+}$ pose-indexed natural-language descriptions over $1{,}300{+}$ indoor 3D scans.
Video face swapping has no natural paired supervision: no real footage exists of one person's face performing another person's video. The strongest current answer, DreamID-V's SyncID-Pipe, mints pairs by replacing the identity in exactly two frames of a real clip -- the first and…
This work introduces G-MAD, an open-source framework that uses Arma3 to generate synchronized multi-view RGB-T data for aerial object detection. G-MAD addresses key limitations of real-world aerial dataset construction, including limited viewpoint control, imperfect RGB-T alignme…
Vision Mamba models replace quadratic self-attention with linear complexity selective state space models (SSMs), emerging as efficient visual backbones. However, MambaOut demonstrates that a Gated CNN block can match or exceed VMamba on image classification, questioning the neces…
Weakly supervised segmentation relies heavily on class activation maps (CAMs) to initially localize target regions. However, CAMs are often noisy and prone to catastrophic failures. Existing remedies typically introduce additional training stages or prototype learning, increasing…
Deep learning models excel in visual recognition but suffer severe performance drops when training labels are corrupted by noise. Under label noise prior work cannot learn accurate similarities and thus misguide the learning process. In this paper, we uncover a complementary and…
Visible-Infrared Person Re-Identification (VI-ReID) operates under a closed-world assumption, where queries and galleries are from heterogeneous modalities. However, in open-world scenarios, both sets are likely to contain homogeneous and heterogeneous modality images. A query ma…
