Dynamical Diffusion: Learning Temporal Dynamics with Diffusion Models

ICLR 2025poster

Diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative frameworks by progressively adding noise to data through a forward process and then reversing this process to generate realistic samples. While these models have achieved strong performance across various tasks and modalities, their application to…

Long-Sequence Recommendation Models Need Decoupled Embeddings

ICLR 2025poster

Lifelong user behavior sequences are crucial for capturing user interests and predicting user responses in modern recommendation systems. A two-stage paradigm is typically adopted to handle these long sequences: a subset of relevant behaviors is first searched from the original long sequences via an…

On the Embedding Collapse when Scaling up Recommendation Models

ICML 2024poster

Recent advances in foundation models have led to a promising trend of developing large recommendation models to leverage vast amounts of available data. Still, mainstream models remain embarrassingly small in size and naive enlarging does not lead to sufficient performance gain, suggesting a deficie…

ForkMerge: Mitigating Negative Transfer in Auxiliary-Task Learning

NeurIPS 2023poster

Auxiliary-Task Learning (ATL) aims to improve the performance of the target task by leveraging the knowledge obtained from related tasks. Occasionally, learning multiple tasks simultaneously results in lower accuracy than learning only the target task, which is known as negative transfer. This probl…

Debiased Self-Training for Semi-Supervised Learning

NeurIPS 2022accept

Deep neural networks achieve remarkable performances on a wide range of tasks with the aid of large-scale labeled datasets. Yet these datasets are time-consuming and labor-exhaustive to obtain on realistic tasks. To mitigate the requirement for labeled data, self-training is widely used in semi-supe…

Decoupled Adaptation for Cross-Domain Object Detection

ICLR 2022poster

Cross-domain object detection is more challenging than object classification since multiple objects exist in an image and the location of each object is unknown in the unlabeled target domain. As a result, when we adapt features of different objects to enhance the transferability of the detector, th…
