Title: Recent Trends of Distillation Methods in Diffusion Models
Abs:
Image synthesis with diffusion models has been highlighted in computer vision and graphics for its remarkable ability to various tasks, such as text-to-image generation or image editing. However, diffusion models require an iterative denoising process for sample generation, which prevents diffusion models from being widely used for practical real-time industrial applications. In this talk, I will cover the forefront of research aimed at reducing the computational demands of diffusion models, making them more suitable for use in real-world industrial scenarios.

Title: Fairness in Machine Learning: Challenges, Analysis, and Solutions
Abs:
Recent breakthroughs in machine learning have ushered in a new phase of real-world AI applications. However, many case studies show that even large-scale multimodal models often fail to achieve fairness. This tutorial will introduce key concepts of fairness and propose strategies to address fairness-related risks. Specifically, the tutorial will highlight the fairness challenges inherent in current machine learning models, offer a formal definition of fairness, and conclude with a comprehensive review of principles and recent trends for mitigating fairness-related risks.

Title: Injecting output constraints and dependencies into neural models
Abs:
Injecting human prior to a machine learning model has been a long-lasting topic in the research community. With the advancement of neural black-box models such as ChatGPT and its silly mistake despite its remarkable performance, the topic of injecting constraints is gaining ever more interest. In this two-part tutorial, I will provide an overview of constraint injection methods as well as introduce my recent work on reflecting latent constraints. First, I will give an overview of constraint injection methods centered around symbolic output constraints on neural natural language processing models. Second, in contrast to the first part, I will discuss how the model could capture and reflect constraints when they are not known a priori. In this second part, I will introduce my recent work on structured energy networks and box embeddings.

Title: Recent Advances in Language-driven Computer Vision Tasks
Abs:
Providing user intentions for various computer vision tasks can be achieved through a variety of input conditions. Recently, leveraging language-based user prompting has gained widespread adoption due to its efficiency and effectiveness. Nonetheless, since vision data, including image, video, or 3D, and language data fundamentally differ in their form, representation, and semantics, careful design is essential to effectively apply them to a range of computer vision tasks. In this tutorial, we will explore recent advancements in language-driven computer vision tasks. Specifically, we will examine current progress in tasks such as open-vocabulary segmentation, text-to-image generation, text-to-3D generation, and text-to-video generation. Furthermore, we will engage in discussions regarding the future directions in these areas.
