Multi-hop question answering (MHQA) requires integrating knowledge scattered across multiple passages to derive the correct answer. Traditional retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods primarily focus on coarse-grained textual semantic similarity and ignore structural associations among disperse
Deep learning has significantly advanced the audio classification, achieving remarkable results. However, these successes often rely on extensive manual annotation of audio, a labor-intensive and costly process. Active Learning (AL) presents a promising solution by minimizing the required amount of…
The strategy of selecting ``most informative'' hard samples in active learning has proven a boon for alleviating the challenges of few-shot learning and costly data annotation in deep learning. However, this very preference towards hard samples engenders bias issues, thereby impeding the full potent…
The pulmonary artery (PA) is a multi-level vascular system composed of the main pulmonary artery (mPA) and the branch pulmonary arteries (bPA). Accurate segmentation of the PA is of significant importance for the diagnosis of diseases such as pulmonary embolism. However, since the vascular features…
Point-of-Interest (POI) recommendation has become increasingly important in the trajectory prediction domain. However, most existing approaches focus on a single scale and tend to overemphasize either spatial or temporal aspects. These methods often overlook the temporal dependencies in movement beh…
Attribute-Missing Graph Clustering addresses the challenging problem of incomplete node attribute information in graphs. Recent advancements in self-supervised learning techniques, particularly contrastive learning and generative approaches, have shown effectiveness in tackling tasks involving missi…
The task of entity alignment (EA) seeks to identify corresponding entities across different knowledge graphs (KGs). However, in large-scale KG alignment tasks, the complexity of the problem renders traditional entity structure representation methods, designed for small-scale KGs, ineffective. Partit…
Large Language models (LLMs) have exhibited remarkable reasoning capabilities and become the foundation of language technologies. Inspired by the great success of code data in training LLMs, we naturally wonder at which training stage introducing code data can really help LLMs reasoning. To this end…
We study the problem of outlier correspondence pruning for non-rigid point cloud registration. In rigid registration, spatial consistency has been a commonly used criterion to discriminate outliers from inliers. It measures the compatibility of two correspondences by the discrepancy between the resp…
Attribute-based generation methods are of growing significance in controlling the generation of large pre-trained language models (PLMs). Existing studies control the generation by (1) finetuning the model with attributes or (2) guiding the inference processing toward control signals while freezing…
Text classification tasks often encounter few-shot scenarios with limited labeled data, and addressing data scarcity is crucial. Data augmentation with mixup merges sample pairs to generate new pseudos, which can relieve the data deficiency issue in text classification. However, the quality of pseud…
Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to infer missing information in incomplete knowledge graphs (KGs). Most previous works only consider the transductive scenario where entities are existing in KGs, which cannot work effectively for the inductive scenario containing emerging entities. Recently som…
We study the problem of extracting accurate correspondences for point cloud registration. Recent keypoint-free methods bypass the detection of repeatable keypoints which is difficult in low-overlap scenarios, showing great potential in registration. They seek correspondences over downsampled superpo…
We present an approach to learn voice-face representations from the talking face videos, without any identity labels. Previous works employ cross-modal instance discrimination tasks to establish the correlation of voice and face. These methods neglect the semantic content of different videos, introd…
