Efficient Few-Shot Continual Learning in Vision-Language Models
cs.CV cs.AI
Vision-language models (VLMs) excel in tasks such as visual question answering and image captioning. However, VLMs are often limited by their use of pretrained image encoders, like CLIP, leading to image understanding errors that hinder overall performance. On top of that, real-world applications often require the mo...

Adaptive Margin Contrastive Learning for Ambiguity-aware 3D Semantic Segmentation
cs.CV
In this paper, we propose an adaptive margin contrastive learning method for 3D point cloud semantic segmentation, namely AMContrast3D. Most existing methods use equally penalized objectives, which ignore per-point ambiguities and less discriminated features stemming from transition regions. However, as highly ambigu...

A Neural Network-based Multi-timestep Command Governor for Nonlinear Systems with Constraints
eess.SY cs.SY
The multi-timestep command governor (MCG) is an add-on algorithm that enforces constraints by modifying, at each timestep, the reference command to a pre-stabilized control system. The MCG can be interpreted as a Model-Predictive Control scheme operating on the reference command. The implementation of MCG on nonlinea...
