Long-tailed distributions are common in real-world recognition tasks, where a few head classes have many samples while most tail classes have very few. Recently, fine-tuning foundation models for long-tailed learning has gained attention due to their excellent performance. However, most existing met
Long-tailed data bias decision boundaries toward head classes and degrade tail class accuracy. Diffusion-based generative augmentation address this problem by generating additional data, while head-to-tail transfer further mitigate the generator bias inherit from long-tailed dataset. However, we sho
Personalized federated learning (PFL) with foundation models has emerged as a promising paradigm enabling clients to adapt to heterogeneous data distributions. However, real-world scenarios often face the co-occurrence of non-IID data and long-tailed class distributions, presenting unique challenges
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have driven impressive progress in omni-modal understanding and generation. However, training omni-modal LLMs remains a significant challenge due to the heterogeneous model architectures required to process diverse modalities, necessitating sophisticat
In open-world semi-supervised learning (OWSSL), a model learns from labeled data and unlabeled data containing both known and novel classes. In practical OWSSL applications, models are expected to perform rigorous classification by directly selecting the most semantically relevant label from a candi
Palm-vein has received widespread attention for reliable biometric recognition due to its robust resistance to replicate and forge. However, the rise of adversarial attacks poses a high risk of vulnerability for palm-vein recognition, leaving most existing methods vulnerable to small and human-imper…
Type inference for dynamic languages like Python is a persistent challenge in software engineering. While large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in code understanding, their type inference capabilities remain underexplored. We introduce `TypyBench`, a benchmark designed to evaluate LLMs' ty…
We present Park, a platform for researchers to experiment with Reinforcement Learning (RL) for computer systems. Using RL for improving the performance of systems has a lot of potential, but is also in many ways very different from, for example, using RL for games. Thus, in this work we first disc…
We introduce a new function-preserving transformation for efficient neural architecture search. This network transformation allows reusing previously trained networks and existing successful architectures that improves sample efficiency. We aim to address the limitation of current network transforma…
