Integrated circuit (IC) designs require transforming high-level specifications into physical layouts, demanding extensive expertise and specialized tools, as well as months of time and numerous iterations. While Machine Learning (ML) has shown promise in various research domains, the lack of large-s…
The limited understanding capacity of the visual encoder in Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) has become a key bottleneck for downstream performance. This capacity includes both Discriminative Ability (D-Ability), which reflects class separability, and Detail Perceptual Ability (P-Abili
This paper explores a novel lightweight approach LightFair to achieve fair text-to-image diffusion models (T2I DMs) by addressing the adverse effects of the text encoder. Most existing methods either couple different parts of the diffusion model for full-parameter training or rely on auxiliary netwo…
The Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) is a well-known metric for evaluating instance-level long-tail learning problems. In the past two decades, many AUC optimization methods have been proposed to improve model performance under long-tail distributions. In this paper, we explore AUC optimization method…
Transcriptome foundation models (TFMs) hold great promises of deciphering the transcriptomic language that dictate diverse cell functions by self-supervised learning on large-scale single-cell gene expression data, and ultimately unraveling the complex mechanisms of human diseases. However, current…
This paper explores test-agnostic long-tail recognition, a challenging long-tail task where the test label distributions are unknown and arbitrarily imbalanced. We argue that the variation in these distributions can be broken down hierarchically into global and local levels. The global ones reflect…
