Pruning is a widely used technique to compress large language models (LLMs) by removing unimportant weights, but it often suffers from significant performance degradation—especially under semi-structured sparsity constraints. Existing pruning methods primarily focus on estimating the importance of i…
The rapid advancement of diffusion models has greatly improved video synthesis, especially in controllable video generation, which is vital for applications like autonomous driving. Although DiT with 3D VAE has become a standard framework for video generation, it introduces challenges in controllabl…
Recently, deep learning-based methods has gained increasing attention in typhoon tasks. Due to different optimization targets, existing works apply multi-object detection to typhoon detection and keypoint detection to typhoon eye location. However, such two-stage methods ignored the internal connect…
Rehabilitative robotics, particularly lower-limb exoskeletons (LLEs), have gained increasing importance in aiding patients regain ambulatory functions. One of the challenges in making these systems effective is the implementation of an assist-as-needed (AAN) control strategy that intervenes only whe…
Query-focused meeting summarization (QFMS) aims to generate suimnaries from meeting transcripts in response to a given query. Previous works typically concatenate the query with meeting transcripts and implicitly model the query relevance only at the token level with attention mechanism. However, du…
Zero-shot relation extraction aims to extract novel relations that are not observed beforehand. However, existing representation methods are not pre-trained for relational representations and embeddings contain much linguistic information, the distances between them are not consistent with relationa…
Slot filling where labelled data are scarce could leverage the recent advances in self-training methods. However, existing self-training models ignore the prevalent imbalanced slot distribution problem in many slot filling datasets. These methods could exacerbate label imbalance during learning iter…
Forecasting rapid intensification (RI) of tropical cyclones (TC) is an important and challenging task. However, existing RI forecast methods pay little attention to the imbalanced distribution of RI with dynamic statistical models or ma-chine learning methods. Actually, RI prediction is a class-imba…
Contrastive learning has shown its potential in many unsupervised tasks, including hashing. However, the representations obtained by contrastive learning generally fail to produce no-table margins between semantic classes. Different semantic samples around the boundary are likely to collide into the…
Hierarchical Text Classification (HTC), which aims to predict text labels organized in hierarchical space, is a significant task lacking in investigation in natural language processing. Existing methods usually encode the entire hierarchical structure and fail to construct a robust label-dependent m…
Human-robot shared control, which integrates the advantages of both humans and robots, is an effective approach to facilitate efficient surgical operation. Learning from demonstration (LfD) techniques can be used to automate some of the surgical sub tasks for the construction of the shared control m…
Zero-shot relation extraction aims to identify novel relations which cannot be observed at the training stage. However, it still faces some challenges since the unseen relations of instances are similar or the input sentences have similar entities, the unseen relation representations from different…
Exploring a fast and accurate salient object detection (SOD) model is a promising research area. TBRS [1] has been proposed a two-branch network for real-time SOD. However, its principle of adding an extra path to encode spatial information is time-consuming. And its backbone is borrowed from image…
This paper introduces a method named FAST for real-time salient object detection with an extremely efficient CNN architecture. Our proposed network starts from a single lightweight backbone and aggregates discriminative features through network-level and phase-level respectively. Based on the multi-…
Learning from demonstration is increasingly used for transferring operator manipulation skills to robots. In practice, it is important to cater for limited data and imperfect human demonstrations, as well as underlying safety constraints. This article presents a constrained-space optimization and re
Master-slave control is a common form of human-robot interaction for robotic surgery. To ensure seamless and intuitive control, a mechanism of self-adaptive motion scaling during teleoperaton is proposed in this letter. The operator can retain precise control when conducting delicate or complex mani
We show that an end-to-end deep learning approach can be used to recognize either English or Mandarin Chinese speech–two vastly different languages. Because it replaces entire pipelines of hand-engineered components with neural networks, end-to-end learning allows us to handle a diverse variety of s…
