We introduce LLA, an effective intellectual property (IP) protection scheme for generative AI models. LLA leverages the synergy between hardware and software to defend against various supply chain threats, including model theft, model corruption, and information leakage. On the software side, it emb
We present Move-Then-Operate, a Vision–language–action framework that explicitly decouples robotic manipulation into two distinct behavioral phases: coarse relocation (move) and contact-critical interaction (operate). Unlike monolithic policies that conflate these heterogeneous regimes, our architec…
In this paper, we present RhoMorph, a novel deformable planar lattice modular self-reconfigurable robot (MSRR) with a rhombus shaped module. Each module consists of a parallelogram skeleton with a single centrally mounted actuator that enables folding and unfolding along its diagonal. The core desig…
While deformable modular self reconfigurable robots offer enhanced reconfiguration flexibility, strict kinematic constraints present complex self reconfiguration planning challenges. This letter presents a novel self-reconfiguration planning algorithm for deformable quadrilateral MSRRs. The method f
Existing Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) process a large number of visual tokens, leading to significant computational costs and inefficiency. Instruction-related visual token compression demonstrates strong task relevance, which aligns well with MLLMs’ ultimate goal of instruction followin…
Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robot (MSRR) systems are a class of robots capable of forming higher-level robotic systems by altering the topological relationships between modules, offering enhanced adaptability and robustness in various environments. This paper presents a novel MSRR called MODUR, feat
General-purpose object placement is a fundamental capability of an intelligent generalist robot: being capable of rearranging objects following precise human instructions even in novel environments. This work is dedicated to achieving general-purpose object placement with "something something" instr
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are known to be vulnerable to adversarial examples, which are crafted by adding imperceptible perturbations to clean examples. With the wide applications of DNNs to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Automatic Target Recognition (ATR), the vulnerability of SAR deep recognitio…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are widely used for neural modulation recognition (NMR) in the electronic field and have been shown to be vulnerable to adversarial examples for NMR. In the physical signal communication scenario, the adversarial signal transmitted by the adversary is affected by the chan…
User modeling is critical for developing personalized services in industry. A common way for user modeling is to learn user representations that can be distinguished by their interests or preferences. In this work, we focus on developing universal user representation model. The obtained universal re…
Transferring image-based object detectors to the domain of videos remains a challenging problem. Previous efforts mostly exploit optical flow to propagate features across frames, aiming to achieve a good trade-off between accuracy and efficiency. However, introducing an extra model to estimate optic…
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are inherently subject to invariable filters that can only aggregate local inputs with the same topological structures. It causes that CNNs are allowed to manage data with Euclidean or grid-like structures (e.g., images), not ones with non-Euclidean or graph stru…
The goal of no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) is to estimate human perceived image quality without access to either reference image or prior knowledge about distortion type. Previous approaches for this problem are typically based on a regression framework that maps the image features d…
