EPContrast: Effective Point-level Contrastive Learning for Large-scale Point Cloud Understanding

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Zhiyi Pan, Guoqing Liu, Wei Gao, Thomas H. Li, | Summary: The acquisition of inductive bias through point-level contrastive learning holds paramount significance in point cloud pre-training. However, the square growth in computational requirements with the scale of the point cloud poses a substantial impediment to the […]

LiNeS: Post-training Layer Scaling Prevents Forgetting and Enhances Model Merging

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Nikolaos Dimitriadis, Alessandro Favero, Guillermo Ortiz-Jimenez, Francois Fleuret | Summary: Large pre-trained models exhibit impressive zero-shot performance across diverse tasks, but fine-tuning often leads to catastrophic forgetting, where improvements on a target domain degrade generalization on other tasks. To address this challenge, we introduce LiNeS, […]
