Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a powerful framework that unifies perception, language, and control, enabling robots to perform diverse tasks through multimodal understanding. However, current VLA models typically contain massive parameters and rely heavily on large-scale robot d
Zero-Shot Composed Image Retrieval (ZS-CIR) aims to retrieve target images using a composed query of a reference image and a textual modification, without relying on triplet-based supervision. As the two inputs describe related but semantically unaligned information, the key challenge lies in interp
Humans develop visual intelligence through perceiving and interacting with their environment--a self-supervised learning process grounded in egocentric experience. Inspired by this, we ask how can artificial systems learn stable object representations from continuous, uncurated first-person videos w
The recent rapid development of auditory attention decoding (AAD) offers the possibility of using electroencephalography (EEG) as auxiliary information for target speaker extraction. However, effectively modeling long sequences of speech and resolving the identity of the target speaker from EEG sign…
The brain-assisted target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to extract the attended speech from mixed speech by utilizing the brain neural activities, for example Electroencephalography (EEG). However, existing models overlook the issue of temporal misalignment between speech and EEG modalities, which h
Auditory attention detection (AAD) aims to detect the target speaker in a multi-talker environment from brain signals, such as electroencephalography (EEG), which has made great progress. However, most AAD methods solely utilize attention mechanisms sequentially and overlook valuable multi-scale con
Decoding speech from brain signals is a challenging research problem that holds significant importance for studying speech processing in the brain. Although breakthroughs have been made in reconstructing the mel spectrograms of audio stimuli perceived by subjects at the word or letter level using no…
The widespread adoption of edge computing has emerged as a prominent trend for alleviating task processing delays and reducing energy consumption. However, the dynamic nature of network conditions and the varying computation capacities of edge servers (ESs) can introduce disparities between computat…
The Model AI Assignments session seeks to gather and dis- seminate the best assignment designs of the Artificial In- telligence (AI) Education community. Recognizing that as- signments form the core of student learning experience, we here present abstracts of five AI assignments from the 2024 sessi…
In a distributed computing system operating according to the map-shuffle-reduce framework, coding data prior to storage can be useful both to reduce the latency caused by straggling servers and to decrease the inter-server communication load in the shuffle phase. In prior work, a concatenated coding…
