While 3D Gaussian splatting has emerged as a powerful paradigm, it fundamentally fails to model transparency such as glass panels. The core challenge lies in decoupling the intertwined radiance contributions from transparent interfaces and the transmitted geometry observed through the glass. We pres
Safe, precise teleoperation demands a third-person 3D view that reveals collision clearances and task-critical geometry in full detail. Yet most systems still rely on live camera streams that offer tunnel-vision perspectives and weak depth cues, hiding hazards and denying operators the spatial conte…

A central principle in self-supervised learning (SSL) is to learn data representations that are invariant to semantic-preserving transformations \eg, image representations should remain unchanged under augmentations like cropping or color jitter. While effective for classification, such invariance c…
Accurately solving partial differential equations (PDEs) is critical to understanding complex scientific and engineering phenomena, yet traditional numerical solvers are computationally expensive. Surrogate models offer a more efficient alternative, but their development is hindered by the cost of g…
The advent of foundation models in AI has significantly advanced general-purpose learning, enabling remarkable capabilities in zero-shot inference and in-context learning. However, training such models on physics data, including solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs), poses a unique chal…
Neural network ensembles have proven effective in improving performance across a range of tasks; however, their high computational cost limits their applicability in resource-constrained environments or for large models. Ensemble distillation, the process of transferring knowledge from an ensemble t…
In this paper, we implement the GPU-accelerated subsystem-based Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (SubADMM) for interactive simulation. The challenging objective for interactive simulations is to deliver realistic results under tight performance, even for large-scale scenarios. We aim to a
Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs) provide a promising framework for modeling predictive uncertainty and enhancing out-of-distribution robustness (OOD) by estimating the posterior distribution of network parameters. Stochastic Gradient Markov Chain Monte Carlo (SGMCMC) is one of the most powerful metho…
Uncertainty-aware meta-learning aims not only for rapid adaptation to new tasks but also for reliable uncertainty estimation under limited supervision. Neural Processes (NPs) offer a flexible solution by learning implicit stochastic processes directly from data, often using a global latent variable…
Deep Ensemble approach is a straightforward technique used to enhance the performance of deep neural networks by training them from different initial points, converging towards various local optima. However, a limitation of this methodology lies in its high computational overhead for inference, aris…
Exploiting symmetry inherent in data can significantly improve the sample efficiency of a learning procedure and the generalization of learned models. When data clearly reveals underlying symmetry, leveraging this symmetry can naturally inform the design of model architectures or learning strategies…
Group Equivariant CNNs (G-CNNs) have shown promising efficacy in various tasks, owing to their ability to capture hierarchical features in an equivariant manner. However, their equivariance is fixed to the symmetry of the whole group, limiting adaptability to diverse partial symmetries in real-world…
Image blending aims to combine multiple images seamlessly. It remains challenging for existing 2D-based methods, especially when input images are misaligned due to differences in 3D camera poses and object shapes. To tackle these issues, we propose a 3D-aware blending method using generative Neural…
3D-aware GANs aim to synthesize realistic 3D scenes that can be rendered in arbitrary camera viewpoints, generating high-quality images with well-defined geometry. As 3D content creation becomes more popular, the ability to generate foreground objects separately from the background has become a cruc…
Inspired by the impressive performance of recent face image editing methods, several studies have been naturally proposed to extend these methods to the face video editing task. One of the main challenges here is temporal consistency among edited frames, which is still unresolved. To this end, we pr…
With the advantages of fast inference and human-friendly flexible manipulation, image-agnostic style manipulation via text guidance enables new applications that were not previously available. The state-of-the-art text-guided image-agnostic manipulation method embeds the representation of each chann…
Multivariate time series data for real-world applications typically contain a significant amount of missing values. The dominant approach for classification with such missing values is to impute them heuristically with specific values (zero, mean, values of adjacent time-steps) or learnable paramete…
Datasets often have their intrinsic symmetries, and particular deep-learning models called equivariant or invariant models have been developed to exploit these symmetries. However, if some or all of these symmetries are only approximate, which frequently happens in practice, these models may be subo…
We propose novel symmetry-based modeling and hybrid orientation-force control frameworks for cutaneous haptic device (CHD) to generate precise three degree-of-freedom (DoF) contact force on the fingertip robustly against user variability. The CHD hardware is designed in a form of an underactuated ca…
In the deep learning era, long video generation of high-quality still remains challenging due to the spatio-temporal complexity and continuity of videos. Existing prior works have attempted to model video distribution by representing videos as 3D grids of RGB values, which impedes the scale of gener…
"Recent methods for conditional image generation benefit from dense supervision such as segmentation label maps to achieve high-fidelity. However, it is rarely explored to employ dense supervision for unconditional image generation. Here we explore the efficacy of dense supervision in unconditional…
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) synthesize realistic images from random latent vectors. Although manipulating the latent vectors controls the synthesized outputs, editing real images with GANs suffers from i) time-consuming optimization for projecting real images to the latent vectors, ii) or…
