Fine-tuning Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) with a small number of parameters has shown remarkable performance in Domain Generalized Semantic Segmentation (DGSS). Most existing works either train lightweight adapters or refine intermediate features to achieve better generalization on unseen domains.
Micromanipulation techniques that can achieve controlled fine operations at the micro scale play an important role in biomedical fields including embryo engineering, gene engineering, drug screening, and cell analysis. However, micromanipulation of biological micro-objects, such as cells and micro t…
Micro-assembly is an emerging method to fabricate microrobots with multiple modules or particles. However, there is always a lack of a flexible and efficient method to freely create the desired magnetic soft microrobots. In this paper, an automated assembly system based on a two-fingered microhand i…
In recent years, micromanipulation technology has achieved extensive applications in industry and life science. Improving the precision and bandwidth of the micromanipulator and simultaneously reducing size, weight, and cost pose significant challenges to the existing micromanipulator design and fab…
Target-Oriented Multimodal Sentiment Classification (TMSC) aims to perform sentiment polarity on a target jointly considering its corresponding multiple modalities including text, image, and others. Current researches mainly work on either of two types of targets in a decentralized manner. One type…
Understanding and analyzing animal behavior is increasingly essential to protect endangered animal species. However, the application of advanced computer vision techniques in this regard is minimal, which boils down to lacking large and diverse datasets for training deep models. To break the deadloc…
In the last decade, researchers have been trying to develop many microrobots that mimic the extraordinary abilities of bionts in complex environments. How to fabricate the biomimetic microrobot with satisfying deformability and complex shapes to realize desired precise motion is the key issue. In th…
Transducer is one of the mainstream frameworks for streaming speech recognition. There is a performance gap between the streaming and non-streaming transducer models due to limited context. To reduce this gap, an effective way is to ensure that their hidden and output distributions are consistent, w…
Weakly supervised referring expression grounding aims to train a model without the manual labels between image regions and referring expressions during the training phase. Current predominant models often adopt deep structures to reconstruct the region-expression correspondence. A crucial deficiency…
Existing micromanipulation methods, whether contact micromanipulation or non-contact micromanipulation, can hardly meet the requirements of low damage and multiple functions in the biomedical field. This study provides a high-speed micromanipulator that can simulate circular vibrations and generate
The magnetic microrobot has become a promising approach in many biomedical applications due to its small volume, flexible motion, and untethered micromachines. The micro-chain robot is one of the most popular magnetic microrobots. However, the uncontrollable magnetic moment direction and quantity of…
Gesture recognition plays an important role in natural human-computer interaction and sign language recognition. Existing research on gesture recognition is limited to close-range interaction such as vehicle gesture control and face-to-face communication. To apply gesture recognition to long-distanc…
Zebrafish embryo injection is often required in biomedical research using zebrafish. In the injecting operation, trapping and rotating the zebrafish embryo to achieve a proper posture is essential for the high success rate. We proposed an on-chip platform capable of efficient and automatic trapping
We introduce the well-established social scientific concept of social solidarity and its contestation, anti-solidarity, as a new problem setting to supervised machine learning in NLP to assess how European solidarity discourses changed before and after the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a global pan…
This paper proposes a novel architecture, Cross Attention Augmented Transducer (CAAT), for simultaneous translation. The framework aims to jointly optimize the policy and translation models. To effectively consider all possible READ-WRITE simultaneous translation action paths, we adapt the online au…
Cell stiffness is an essential label-free biomarker used to diagnose and sort cells at the single-cell level. Here, we integrated magnetic tweezers on an efficient cell arraying microfluidic device to evaluate the mechanical properties of single cells. Two motion modes under pulsed electromagnetic f
Three-dimensional multi-layer microfluidic device (MMD) fabricated by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a solution for on-chip high-complexity serial or parallel processes. In this letter, we propose and set up an automated 8-DOF alignment system assisted by computer vision, which is capable of automat
In this paper, an automated tracking system with head and tail recognition for time-lapse observation of free-moving C. elegans is presented. In microscale field, active C. elegans can move out of the view easily without an automated tracking system because of the narrow field of view and rapid spee…
We have successfully achieved manipulation and assembly of microbeads having the size of 100μm diameter by hemispherical end-effectors with high stability and accuracy. The motivation of achieving assembly of actual cells lies in the great significance of it in tissue regeneration and cell analysis.…
