We present StreamBridge, a simple yet effective framework that seamlessly transforms offline Video-LLMs into streaming-capable models. It addresses two fundamental challenges in adapting existing models into online scenarios: (1) limited capability for multi-turn real-time understanding, and (2) lac…
In this work, we present COSINE, a unified open-world segmentation model that Consolidates Open-vocabulary Segmentation and IN-context sEgmentation with multi-modal prompts (e.g., text and image). COSINE exploits foundation models to extract representations for an input image and corresponding multi…
We present a new dataset for learning to solve, explain, and generate university-level STEM questions from 27 courses across a dozen departments in seven universities. We scale up previous approaches to questions from courses in the departments of Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engine…
In Natural Language Processing (NLP), intelligent neuron models can be susceptible to textual Trojan attacks. Such attacks occur when Trojan models behave normally for standard inputs but generate malicious output for inputs that contain a specific trigger. Syntactic-structure triggers, which are in…
The inverse kinematics (IK) problem of continuum robots has been investigated in depth in the past decades. Under the constant-curvature bending assumption, closed-form IK solution has been obtained for continuum robots with variable segment lengths. Attempting to close the gap towards a complete so
Designing terrestrial insect-scale robot with high maneuverability and autonomy is becoming an essential challenge in the field of robotics research. Previous work has indicated that compact transmission and integrated control devices can improve the application potential. In this work, an untethere
Homomorphic encryption (HE) and garbled circuit (GC) provide the protection for users’ privacy. However, simply mixing the HE and GC in RNN models suffer from long inference latency due to slow activation functions. In this paper, we present a novel hybrid structure of HE and GC gated recurrent unit…
Because of the lack of expertise, to gain benefits from their data, average users have to upload their private data to cloud servers they may not trust. Due to legal or privacy constraints, most users are willing to contribute only their encrypted data, and lack interests or resources to join deep n…
This letter presents a novel wearable thermoelectric generator (TEG) device for powering electronics by harvesting human body heat. The structural design of the TEG device consists of 12 thermoelectric modules, which are connected by copper strips electrically in series and thermally in parallel. A
