Continual learning for video--language understanding is increasingly important as models face non-stationary data, domains, and query styles, yet prevailing solutions blur what should stay stable versus what should adapt, rely on static routing/capacity, or require replaying past videos. We aim to e
Large-scale Chinese spelling correction (CSC) remains critical for real-world text processing, yet existing LLMs and supervised methods lack robustness to novel errors and rely on costly annotations. We introduce CEC-Zero, a zerosupervision reinforcement learning framework that addresses this by ena
Continual vision–language learning is crucial for multimodal tasks such as image–text retrieval, visual question answering, and grounded reasoning in dynamic environments, yet deployed systems must learn from non-stationary streams under strict privacy and memory budgets, where naïve finetuning forg…
How should we quantify the value of each training example when datasets are large, heterogeneous, and geometrically structured? Classical Data-Shapley answers in principle, but its O(n!) complexity and point-wise perspective are ill-suited to modern scales. We propose Hierarchical Contrastive Data V
In-context learning (ICL) is a practical way to adapt large models, yet under strict context limits it remains unclear how to spend scarce tokens without being misled by noisy, redundant, or conflicting demonstrations. We address this gap by targeting token-budgeted context construction: how to sele…
Federated learning increasingly faces deletion requests that require client-level unlearning without sacrificing model quality, yet a client’s influence is often deeply entangled after many rounds of aggregation. We aim to make unlearning fast, stable, and predictable by reducing the gap to leave-on…
Large language models are increasingly deployed in settings where newtasks arrive continuously, yet existing parameter-efficient finetuning (PEFT) methods either bloat linearly with the task horizon or sacrifice deep adaptation, leaving catastrophic forgetting unresolved. We aim to achieve memory-co…
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has recently emerged as a powerful approach for novel view synthesis by reconstructing scenes as sets of Gaussian ellipsoids. Despite its success in scenarios with dense input images, 3DGS faces critical challenges in sparse view settings, often resulting in geometric in…
When deployed on non-stationary data streams, foundation vision-language models require continual updates without access to past data. However, naive fine-tuning undermines their zero-shot recognition capabilities and prompt robustness. We seek a replay-free principle that preserves pre-trained cros…
Vision-language (VL) models are increasingly deployed in non-stationary settings, yet under sequential adaptation they often preserve primitive recognition while losing compositional structure, especially with tight rehearsal budgets and no task IDs. We address this gap by asking how a continual VL…
Large language models (LLMs) equipped with retrieval—the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) paradigm—should combine their parametric knowledge with external evidence, yet in practice they often hallucinate, over-trust noisy snippets, or ignore vital context. We introduce TCR (Transparent Conflict
Time series forecasting (TSF) plays a vital role across various domains such as finance, energy, healthcare, and meteorology. Currently, most deep learning based TSF methods typically operate with a fixed lookback window. This approach comes from the high compute and memory costs of long contexts, a
Multilingual text-to-image (T2I) models have advanced rapidly in terms of visual realism and semantic alignment, and are now widely utilised. Yet outputs vary across cultural contexts: because language carries cultural connotations, images synthesized from multilingual prompts should preserve cross-
Heavy-duty glass installation is a high-risk, precision-critical task in modern construction, traditionally performed through labor-intensive and error-prone manual methods. This paper presents a novel robotic framework that leverages diffusion-based self-supervised imitation learning from imperfect
Federated learning has become a pivotal distributed learning paradigm, involving collaborative model updates across multiple nodes with private data. However, handling non-i.i.d. (not identically and independently distributed) data and ensuring model consistency across heterogeneous environments pre…
Data selection is essential for training deep learning models. An effective data sampler assigns proper sampling probability for training data and helps the model converge to a good local minimum with high performance. Previous studies in data sampling are mainly based on heuristic rules or learning…
