A Simple yet Effective Hypergraph Clustering Network

IJCAI 2025

Hypergraph Clustering has gained significant attention due to its capability of capturing high order structural information. Among different approaches, contrastive learning-based methods leverage self-supervised learning and data augmentation, exhibiting impressive performance. However, most of the

Hypergraph Clustering Network with Partial Attribute Imputation

ICCV 2025poster

Existing hypergraph clustering methods typically assume that node attributes are fully available. However, in real-world scenarios, missing node attributes are common for the sake of privacy or due to data noise. While some approaches attempt to handle missing attributes in traditional graphs, they…

RoBGuard: Enhancing LLMs to Assess Risk of Bias in Clinical Trial Documents

COLING 2025main

Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) are rigorous clinical studies crucial for reliable decision-making, but their credibility can be compromised by bias. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (RoB 2) assesses this risk, yet manual assessments are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Previous approaches have…

APT: Adaptive Pruning and Tuning Pretrained Language Models for Efficient Training and Inference

ICML 2024oral

Fine-tuning and inference with large Language Models (LM) are generally known to be expensive. Parameter-efficient fine-tuning over pretrained LMs reduces training memory by updating a small number of LM parameters but does not improve inference efficiency. Structured pruning improves LM inference e…

Controller-Guided Partial Label Consistency Regularization with Unlabeled Data

AAAI 2024technical

Partial label learning (PLL) learns from training examples each associated with multiple candidate labels, among which only one is valid. In recent years, benefiting from the strong capability of dealing with ambiguous supervision and the impetus of modern data augmentation methods, consistency regu…

Set the Clock: Temporal Alignment of Pretrained Language Models

ACL 2024findings

Language models (LMs) are trained on web text originating from many points in time and, in general, without any explicit temporal grounding. This work investigates the temporal chaos of pretrained LMs and explores various methods to align their internal knowledge to a target time, which we call “tem…

Combating Unknown Bias with Effective Bias-Conflicting Scoring and Gradient Alignment

AAAI 2023technical

Models notoriously suffer from dataset biases which are detrimental to robustness and generalization. The identify-emphasize paradigm shows a promising effect in dealing with unknown biases. However, we find that it is still plagued by two challenges: A, the quality of the identified bias-conflictin…

Large Language Models are Complex Table Parsers

EMNLP 2023long main

With the Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3.5 (GPT-3.5) exhibiting remarkable reasoning and comprehension abilities in Natural Language Processing (NLP), most Question Answering (QA) research has primarily centered around general QA tasks based on GPT, neglecting the specific challenges posed by C…

Energy Alignment for Bias Rectification in Class Incremental Learning

ICASSP 2022accepted

In class incremental learning (CIL), models are expected to be able to learn new categories continuously. However, the standard DNNs suffer from catastrophic forgetting. Recent studies show class imbalance is an essential factor that causes catastrophic forgetting in CIL. In this paper, from the per…

Maintaining Discrimination and Fairness in Class Incremental Learning

CVPR 2020poster

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been applied in class incremental learning, which aims to solve common real-world problems of learning new classes continually. One drawback of standard DNNs is that they are prone to catastrophic forgetting. Knowledge distillation (KD) is a commonly used technique t…

Self-Paced Probabilistic Principal Component Analysis For Data With Outliers

ICASSP 2020accepted

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a popular tool for dimension reduction and feature extraction in data analysis. Probabilistic PCA (PPCA) extends the standard PCA by using a probabilistic model. However, both standard PCA and PPCA are not robust, as they are sensitive to outliers. To alleviate…
