Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) have shown strong potential for text generation and are becoming a competitive alternative to autoregressive models. The denoising strategy plays an important role in determining the quality of their outputs. Mainstream denoising strategies include Standard Diffusio…
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) with discrete image tokenizers unify multimodal representations by encoding visual inputs into a finite set of tokens. Despite their effectiveness, we find that these models still hallucinate non-existent objects. We hypothesize that one reason is due to visual p…
"Binary Neural Networks (BNNs) offer a promising avenue toward achieving efficient deep-learning models but are hindered by the inherent challenge of aligning noisy floating-point gradients with binary parameters. To address this, we introduce Diode, a groundbreaking optimizer designed explicitly fo…
Pre-trained Language Models in Natural Language Processing have become increasingly computationally expensive and memory demanding. The recently proposed computation-adaptive BERT models facilitate their deployment in practical applications. Training such a BERT model involves jointly optimizing sub…
Magnetic field is a favorable power source for actuation and control of micro-/nanorobots. To overcome the fast decay of magnetic field for large-workspace microrobotic actuation, mobile field source-based systems have been proposed. In this work, we report a new mobile-coil system, i.e., QuadMag. I…
Primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) is the commonest cause of obstructive tearing and can lead to infections including dacryocystitis, cellulitis and postoperative endophthalmitis. External or endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is the current standard treatment of PANDO. Howev
Mechanical rubbing of blood clot using miniature magnetic helical robots is a potential way for thrombolysis. In this paper, we report a new strategy for this issue based on mobile coils. Previously, we proposed the concept of magnetic actuation with parallel mobile coils, in which multiple coils ca…
