Improving Calibration in Test-Time Prompt Tuning for Vision-Language Models via Data-Free Flatness-Aware Prompt Pretraining

Test-time prompt tuning (TPT) has emerged as a promising technique for enhancing the adaptability of vision-language models by optimizing textual prompts using unlabeled test data. However, prior studies have observed that TPT often produces poorly calibrated models, raising concerns about the reliability of their predictions. Recent works address this issue by incorporating additional regularization terms that constrain model outputs, which improve calibration but often degrade performance. In this work, we reveal that these regularization strategies implicitly encourage optimization toward flatter minima, and that the sharpness of the loss landscape around adapted prompts is a key factor governing calibration quality. Motivated by this observation, we introduce Flatness-aware Prompt Pretraining (FPP), a simple yet effective pretraining framework for TPT that initializes prompts within flatter regions of the loss landscape prior to adaptation. We show that simply replacing the initialization in existing TPT pipelines--without modifying any other components--is sufficient to improve both calibration and performance. Notably, FPP requires no labeled data and incurs no additional computational costs during test-time tuning, making it highly practical for real-world deployment. The code is available at: https://github.com/YonseiML/fpp.

Soft Contrastive Learning for Time Series

Contrastive learning has shown to be effective to learn representations from time series in a self-supervised way. However, contrasting similar time series instances or values from adjacent timestamps within a time series leads to ignore their inherent correlations, which results in deteriorating the quality of learned representations. To address this issue, we propose SoftCLT, a simple yet effective soft contrastive learning strategy for time series. This is achieved by introducing instance-wise and temporal contrastive loss with soft assignments ranging from zero to one. Specifically, we define soft assignments for 1) instance-wise contrastive loss by the distance between time series on the data space, and 2) temporal contrastive loss by the difference of timestamps. SoftCLT is a plug-and-play method for time series contrastive learning that improves the quality of learned representations without bells and whistles. In experiments, we demonstrate that SoftCLT consistently improves the performance in various downstream tasks including classification, semi-supervised learning, transfer learning, and anomaly detection, showing state-of-the-art performance. Code is available at this repository: https://github.com/seunghan96/softclt.

ComplETR: Reducing the cost of annotations for object detection in dense scenes with vision transformers

Annotating bounding boxes for object detection is expensive, time-consuming, and error-prone. In this work, we propose a DETR based framework called ComplETR that is designed to explicitly complete missing annotations in partially annotated dense scene datasets. This reduces the need to annotate every object instance in the scene thereby reducing annotation cost. ComplETR augments object queries in DETR decoder with patch information of objects in the image. Combined with a matching loss, it can effectively find objects that are similar to the input patch and complete the missing annotations. We show that our framework outperforms the state-of-the-art methods such as Soft Sampling and Unbiased Teacher by itself, while at the same time can be used in conjunction with these methods to further improve their performance. Our framework is also agnostic to the choice of the downstream object detectors; we show performance improvement for several popular detectors such as Faster R-CNN, Cascade R-CNN, CenterNet2, and Deformable DETR on multiple dense scene datasets.

Network Randomization: A Simple Technique for Generalization in Deep Reinforcement Learning

Deep reinforcement learning (RL) agents often fail to generalize to unseen environments (yet semantically similar to trained agents), particularly when they are trained on high-dimensional state spaces, such as images. In this paper, we propose a simple technique to improve a generalization ability of deep RL agents by introducing a randomized (convolutional) neural network that randomly perturbs input observations. It enables trained agents to adapt to new domains by learning robust features invariant across varied and randomized environments. Furthermore, we consider an inference method based on the Monte Carlo approximation to reduce the variance induced by this randomization. We demonstrate the superiority of our method across 2D CoinRun, 3D DeepMind Lab exploration and 3D robotics control tasks: it significantly outperforms various regularization and data augmentation methods for the same purpose.

ShapeAdv: Generating Shape-Aware Adversarial 3D Point Clouds

We introduce ShapeAdv, a novel framework to study shape-aware adversarial perturbations that reflect the underlying shape variations (e.g., geometric deformations and structural differences) in the 3D point cloud space. We develop shape-aware adversarial 3D point cloud attacks by leveraging the learned latent space of a point cloud auto-encoder where the adversarial noise is applied in the latent space. Specifically, we propose three different variants including an exemplar-based one by guiding the shape deformation with auxiliary data, such that the generated point cloud resembles the shape morphing between objects in the same category. Different from prior works, the resulting adversarial 3D point clouds reflect the shape variations in the 3D point cloud space while still being close to the original one. In addition, experimental evaluations on the ModelNet40 benchmark demonstrate that our adversaries are more difficult to defend with existing point cloud defense methods and exhibit a higher attack transferability across classifiers. Our shape-aware adversarial attacks are orthogonal to existing point cloud based attacks and shed light on the vulnerability of 3D deep neural networks.
