Constrained multi-objective reinforcement learning aims to discover a diverse set of feasible trade-offs, yet scalarization and signed, normalized group-relative advantages can be brittle under objective-scale drift, near-ties, and feasibility scarcity. We propose constrained projection policy optim…
Diffusion-based neural solvers for combinatorial optimization repeatedly re-evaluate dense edge/factor interactions, making inference expensive in wall-clock time and often memory-bound at scale. We introduce LoRe, a training-free, inference-time drop-in wrapper that enforces per-step interaction-ev…
A primary motivation for analog integrated circuit (IC) design automation is the inefficiency of manual design in meeting increasingly stringent specifications, which often involve over 10 objectives. Recent advances in reinforcement learning (RL) emerge as a promising method, yet gaps remain when
Unified image generation and editing models suffer from severe task interference in dense diffusion transformers architectures, where a shared parameter space must compromise between conflicting objectives (e.g., local editing v.s. subject-driven generation). While the sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE
Concept-based explainable approaches have emerged as a promising method in explainable AI because they can interpret models in a way that aligns with human reasoning. However, their adaption in the text domain remains limited. Most existing methods rely on predefined concept annotations and cannot d…
Box supervised instance segmentation (BSIS) aims to achieve an effective trade-off between annotation costs and model performance by solely relying on bounding box annotations during training process. However, we observe that BSIS model is bottlenecked by the intricate objective under limited guidan…
Despite the remarkable process of talking-head-based avatar-creating solutions directly generating anchor-style videos with full-body motions remains challenging. In this study we propose Make-Your-Anchor a novel system necessitating only a one-minute video clip of an individual for training subsequ…
Deep neural networks can be vulnerable to adversarial attacks, even for the mainstream Transformer-based models. Although several robustness enhancement approaches have been proposed, they usually focus on some certain type of perturbation. As the types of attack can be various and unpredictable in…
The daily practice of online image sharing enriches our lives, but also raises a severe issue of privacy leakage. To mitigate the privacy risks during image sharing, some researchers modify the sensitive elements in images with visual obfuscation methods including traditional ones like blurring and…
Neural implicit function based on signed distance field (SDF) has achieved impressive progress in reconstructing 3D models with high fidelity. However, such approaches can only represent closed shapes. Recent works based on unsigned distance function (UDF) are proposed to handle both watertight and…
Social media spreads both real news and fake news in various domains including politics, health, entertainment, etc. It is crucial to automatically detect fake news, especially for news of influential domains like politics and health because they may lead to serious social impact, e.g., panic in the…
Solving long-tail large vocabulary object detection with deep learning based models is a challenging and demanding task, which is however under-explored. In this work, we provide the first systematic analysis on the underperformance of state-of-the-art models in front of long-tail distribution. We f…
Many existing scene parsing methods adopt Convolutional Neural Networks with fixed-size receptive fields, which frequently result in inconsistent predictions of large objects and invisibility of small objects. To tackle this issue, we propose a scale-adaptive convolution to acquire flexible-size rec…
Integrating complementary features from multiple channels is expected to solve the description ambiguity problem in video captioning, whereas inappropriate fusion strategies often harm rather than help the performance. Existing static fusion methods in video captioning such as concatenation and summ…
