In the age of pervasive machine learning applications, protecting digital content from unauthorized use has become a pressing concern. Unlearnable examples (UEs)--data modified with imperceptible perturbations to inhibit model training while preserving human usability--have emerged as a promising ap…
The increasing emphasis on privacy and data security has driven the adoption of federated learning (FL). Prompt learning (PL), which fine-tunes prompt embeddings of pretrained models, has gained a surge of interest in FL community, marked by the emergence of an influx of federated prompt learning (F…
Institutions with limited data and computing resources often outsource model training to third-party providers in a semi-honest setting, assuming adherence to prescribed training protocols with pre-defined learning paradigm (e.g., supervised or semi-supervised learning). However, this practice can i…
Transformer models face scalability challenges in causal language modeling (CLM) due to inefficient memory allocation for growing key-value (KV) caches, which strains compute and storage resources. Existing methods like Grouped Query Attention (GQA) and token-level KV optimization improve efficiency
Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative learning from distributed data while preserving the privacy of participating clients. While supervised federated learning with labeled data has made notable strides and achieved success, federated semi-supervised learning (FSSL) lags in its progress. Exi…
The ability to accurately predict the trajectory of surrounding vehicles is a critical hurdle to overcome on the journey to fully autonomous vehicles. To address this challenge, we pioneer a novel behavior-aware trajectory prediction model (BAT) that incorporates insights and findings from traffic p…
Data-Free Knowledge Distillation (DFKD) enables knowledge transfer from a pretrained teacher to a light-weighted student without original training data. Existing works are limited by a strong assumption that samples used to pretrain the teacher model are balanced, which is, however, unrealistic for…
This paper introduces a trajectory prediction model tailored for autonomous driving, focusing on capturing complex interactions in dynamic traffic scenarios without reliance on high-definition maps. The model, termed MFTraj, harnesses historical trajectory data combined with a novel dynamic geometri…
Owing to the non-i.i.d. nature of client data, channel neurons in federated-learned models may specialize to distinct features for different clients. Yet, existing channel-sparse federated learning (FL) algorithms prescribe fixed sparsity strategies for client models, and may thus prevent clients fr…
