Publications
Learn 3D VQA Better with Active Selection and Reannotation
- Shengli Zhou, Yang Liu, Feng Zheng (*)
- Accepted by ACM MM 2025 / Paper (arXiv) / Code (GitHub)
- We propose a multi-turn interactive active learning strategy for 3D Visual Question Answering, combining semantic variance-based data selection with interactive oracle reannotation to enhance performance and reduce training costs.
HCNQA: Enhancing 3D VQA with Hierarchical Concentration Narrowing Supervision
- Shengli Zhou, Jianuo Zhu, Qilin Huang, Fangjing Wang, Yanfu Zhang, Feng Zheng (*)
- Accepted by ICANN 2025 / Paper (arXiv) / Code (GitHub)
- HCNQA improves 3D Visual Question-Answering by hierarchically supervising reasoning phases (BoI, OoI, OoT) to suppress shortcuts, achieving better accuracy and robustness.

Projects
When Active Learning and Data Augmentation meet at Object Detection
- Autonomous driving systems face challenges in real-time object detection due to high labeling costs and limited dataset diversity, prompting optimization of the RT-DETR-v2 model.
- Integrated active learning (AL) and data augmentation to enhance detection accuracy while minimizing labeling efforts, focusing on evaluating AL strategies (random, entropy-based, information gain) and augmentation levels (e.g., motion blur, noise).
- Achieved 75.4% mAP (6% improvement) on KITTI, validating entropy-based AL as optimal and medium-strength augmentation for balancing accuracy and real-world alignment, enabling efficient data utilization. Github
Masked-Unmasked Face Recognition
- Face recognition struggles with brightness, angle, expression, and occlusion variations.
- This project uses a non-deep learning approach to develop a classifier inspired by human recognition. It focuses on selecting high-quality local features to improve accuracy and reliability in face recognition. The classifier adaptively selects features based on current conditions, excluding less relevant local features to enhance recognition accuracy.
- A mask detector with 100% accuracy on the Georgia Tech Dataset and maintaining high accuracy on harder datasets.
Image Steganography
An algorithm for performing image steganography based on Discrete Cosine Transform, Hamming Code, and Least Significant Bit Steganography with prime radix. Github
