Effective real-world assistance requires AI agents with robust Theory of Mind (ToM): inferring human mental states from their behavior. Despite recent advances, several key challenges remain, including (1) online inference with robust uncertainty updates over multiple hypotheses; (2) efficient reaso…
Pruning-based unlearning has recently emerged as a fast, training-free, and data-independent approach to remove undesired concepts from diffusion models. It promises high efficiency and robustness, offering an attractive alternative to traditional fine-tuning or editing-based unlearning. However, in
Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) faces significant memory challenges due to the high cost of back-propagation. MeZO addresses this using zeroth-order (ZO) optimization, matching memory usage to inference but suffering from slow convergence due to varying curvatures across model parameters. T
Large language models (LLMs) excel across various tasks, but standard first-order (FO) fine-tuning demands considerable memory, significantly limiting real-world deployment. Recently, zeroth-order (ZO) optimization stood out as a promising memory-efficient training paradigm, avoiding backward passes…
Video recognition systems are vulnerable to adversarial examples. Recent studies show that style transfer-based and patch-based unrestricted perturbations can effectively improve attack efficiency. These attacks, however, face two main challenges: 1) Adding large stylized perturbations to all pixels…
Slip detection plays a pivotal role in the dexterity of robotics, improving the reliability and precision of manipulations but also contributing to safety, efficiency, and adaptability. Deep learning-based slip detection algorithms commonly difficult to concentrate on key features when faced with de…
This paper explores the challenges of implementing Federated Learning (FL) in practical scenarios featuring isolated nodes with data heterogeneity, which can only be connected to the server through wireless links in an infrastructure-less environment. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel…
Learning feature interactions can be the key for multivariate predictive modeling. ReLU-activated neural networks create piecewise linear prediction models, and other nonlinear activation functions lead to models with only high-order feature interactions. Recent methods incorporate candidate polynom…
Matrix completion methods can benefit from side information besides the partially observed matrix. The use of side features describing the row and column entities of a matrix has been shown to reduce the sample complexity for completing the matrix. We propose a novel sparse formulation that explicit…
When multiple views of data are available for a set of subjects, co-clustering aims to identify subject clusters that agree across the different views. We explore the problem of co-clustering when the underlying clusters exist in different subspaces of each view. We propose a proximal alternating li…
