On-device AI systems increasingly adopt a single foundation model equipped with task-specific Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) modules, forming a multi-LoRA LLM that supports multiple tasks.We study how to adapt such a model to a new task on memory-constrainted devices.Although LoRA reduces trainable para
Learning to Defer operates by deferring AI-uncertain samples to humans, enabling the system to outperform either alone. Some works extend it by introducing human-AI combination to deferral. However, they remain limited to binary choices. Given that AI, humans, and human-AI combination are each indis
Inter-agent communication serves as an effective mechanism for enhancing performance in collaborative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) systems. However, the inherent communication latency in practical systems induces both action decision delays and outdated information sharing, impeding MAR
Recent studies indicate that human-AI collaboration performs better than either alone, particularly in medical diagnosis. Beyond collaboration methods that focus on assigning tasks to humans or AI, like deferral, combining human and AI decisions with their confidence scores is emerging as a promisin
To enhance the processing of complex multi-modal documents (e.g. e-books, long web pages, etc.), it is an efficient way for users to take digital screenshots of key parts and reorganize them into a new collage E-Note. Existing methods for assisting collage layout design primarily employ a semantic…
It is challenging to simultaneously address multiple related tasks using a unified multi-task model and consistently balance conflicts across these tasks. The conflicts arise because each task competes to update the shared module in a manner that can better align with its own requirements. To addres…
To ensure system responsiveness, some compute-intensive tasks are usually offloaded to cloud or edge computing devices. In environments where connection to external computing facilities is unavailable, computation offloading among members within an autonomous multi-robot system (AMRS) becomes a solu
Multimodal Procedural Planning (MPP) aims to generate step-by-step instructions that combine text and images, with the central challenge of preserving object-state consistency across modalities while producing informative plans. Existing approaches often leverage large language models (LLMs) to refi
Despite the growing integration of deep models into mobile terminals, the accuracy of these models declines significantly due to various deployment interferences. Test-time adaptation (TTA) has emerged to improve the performance of deep models by adapting them to unlabeled target data online. Yet, t…
Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) is an innovative architecture proposed by DeepSeek, designed to ensure efficient and economical inference by significantly compressing the Key-Value (KV) cache into a latent vector. Compared to MLA, standard LLMs employing Multi-Head Attention (MHA) and its variants…
Video advertising has become a popular marketing strategy on e-commerce platforms, requiring high-level semantic reasoning like selling point discovery, narrative organization. Previous rule-based methods struggle with these complex tasks, and learning-based approaches demand large datasets and high
Federated learning (FL) learns an optimal global model by aggregating local models trained on distributed data from different devices. Due to heterogeneous data distributions across devices, local models will be divergent, resulting in the global model’s performance degradation. Recent studies attem…
Video Anomaly Detection (VAD) systems can autonomously monitor and identify disturbances, reducing the need for manual labor and associated costs. However, current VAD systems are often limited by their superficial semantic understanding of scenes and minimal user interaction. Additionally, the prev…
Recently, Transformer-based architectures have been explored for classifying driving behavior. Although the Transformer effectively employs self-attention for global temporal learning, the presence of redundant modules can detrimentally affect task-specific performance and overall efficiency. In thi…
The advantages of modular robot systems stem from their ability to change between different configurations, enabling them to adapt to complex and dynamic real-world environments. Then, how to perform the accurate and efficient change of the modular robot system, i.e., the self-reconfiguration proble…
To evaluate the performance of a multi-domain goal-oriented Dialogue System (DS), it is important to understand what the users’ goals are for the conversations and whether those goals are successfully achieved. The success rate of goals directly correlates with user satisfaction and perceived useful…
