Lin Chen (陈林)

Greetings! I'm currently a PhD student in School of Automation, University of Science and Technology of China, advised by Prof. Feng Zhao. I got a B.E. degree at Anhui University in 2020 and join the USTC-BIVLab. And I serve as an research intern in Shanghai AI Laboratory now, supervised by Dr. Jiaqi Wang and Dr. Pan Zhang.

My research interest includes:

  • image semantic segmentation
  • domain adaptation/generalization
  • parameter-efficient fine-tuning
  • vision-language models
I sincerely welcome discussions and collaborations. If you're interested, please feel free to reach out to me via email or WeChat (xiaoachen98).

Reins Are We on the Right Way for Evaluating Large Vision-Language Models?
Lin Chen*, Jinsong Li*, Xiaoyi Dong, Pan Zhang, Yuhang Zang, Zehui Chen, Haodong Duan, Jiaqi Wang, Yu Qiao, Dahua Lin, Feng Zhao
Arxiv, 2024
[paper] [code] [project page]

We identify two primary issues in existing evaluation studies for large vision-language models. We further develop an elite vision-indispensable multi-modal benchmark and two novel metrics to measure data leakage and actual performance gain in multi-modal training.

Reins Stronger, Fewer, & Superior: Harnessing Vision Foundation Models for Domain Generalized Semantic Segmentation
Zhixiang Wei*, Lin Chen*, Yi Jin*, Xiaoxiao Ma, Tianle Liu, Pengyang Ling, Ben Wang, Huaian Chen, Jinjin Zheng
CVPR, 2024
[paper] [code]

We propose the Rein framework, which efficiently fine-tunes vision foundation models for the domain generalized semantic segmentation (DGSS) task with just 1% trainable parameters, surprisingly surpassing full parameter fine-tuning. And Reins builds a new SOTA in various DGSS benchmarks.

freedrag FreeDrag: Point Tracking is Not What You Need for Interactive Point-based Image Editing
Pengyang Ling*, Lin Chen*, Pan Zhang, Huaian Chen, Yi Jin
CVPR, 2024
[paper] [code] [project page] [demo]

We propose a novel "drag" editing framework called FreeDrag free of the burden of erroneous point tracking and enables achieving stable point-based editing in challenging scenarios with similar structures, fine details, or under multi-point targets.

point-detr3d Leveraging Imagery Data with Spatial Point Prior for Weakly Semi-Supervised 3D Object Detection
Hongzhi Gao, Zheng Chen, Zehui Chen, Lin Chen, Jiaming Liu, Shanghang Zhang, Feng Zhao
AAAI, 2024
[paper]

A teacher-student framework for weakly semi-supervised 3D detection, designed to fully capitalize on point-wise supervision within a constrained instance-wise annotation budget. With only 5% of labeled data, our Point-DETR3D achieves over 90% performance of its fully supervised counterpart.

sharegpt4v ShareGPT4V: Improving Large Multi-Modal Models with Better Captions
Lin Chen*, Jinsong Li*, Xiaoyi Dong, Pan Zhang, Conghui He, Jiaqi Wang, Feng Zhao, Dahua Lin
Arxiv, 2023
[project page] [paper] [code] [demo]

We propose the ShareGPT4V project, comprising 100K GPT4-Vision-generated captions, 1.2M high-quality captions, a general image captioner, and a superior large multi-modal model, ShareGPT4V-7B

dtp Disentangle then Parse: Night-time Semantic Segmentation with Illumination Disentanglement
Zhixiang Wei*, Lin Chen*, Tao Tu, Huaian Chen, Pengyang Ling, Yi Jin
ICCV, 2023
[paper] [code]

We propose a novel nigh-time semantic segmentation paradigm, i.e., disentangle then parse (DTP), which explicitly disentangles night-time images into light-invariant reflectance and light-specific illumination components and then recognizes semantics based on their adaptive fusion.

ddb Deliberated Domain Bridging for Domain Adaptive Semantic Segmentation
Lin Chen*, Zhixiang Wei*, Xin Jin*, Huaian Chen, Miao Zheng, Kai Chen, Yi Jin
NeurIPS, 2022, Spotlight
[paper] [code]

We leverage the complementary characteristics of the coarse-wise and fine-wise data mixing techniques to progressively transfer the knowledge from the source to the target domain.

daln Reusing the Task-specific Classifier as a Discriminator: Discriminator-free Adversarial Domain Adaptation
Lin Chen*, Huaian Chen*, Zhixiang Wei, Xin Jin, Xiao Tan, Yi Jin, Enhong Chen
CVPR, 2022
[paper] [code]

We reuse the category classifier as a discriminator to form a discriminator-free adversarial learning framework.
