Partially Relevant Video Retrieval (PRVR) aims to retrieve untrimmed videos containing relevant moments for a given text query. This task is extremely challenging, as untrimmed videos often include numerous actions and objects unrelated to the query. However, existing methods usually struggle with f
Synthesizing human motion has advanced rapidly, yet realistic hand motion and bimanual interaction remain underexplored. Whole-body models often miss the fine-grained cues that drive dexterous behavior, finger articulation, contact timing, and inter-hand coordination, and existing resources lack hig
Visual Active Tracking (VAT) aims to control cameras to follow a target in 3D space, which is critical for applications like drone navigation and security surveillance. However, it faces two key bottlenecks in real-world deployment: confusion from visually similar distractors caused by insufficient
Event co-occurrences have been proven effective for event argument extraction (EAE) in previous studies; however, few have considered intra- and inter-event role correlations. Since role varies among different event types, event structure heterogeneity and overlap pose significant challenges to EAE
In recent years, general visual foundation models (VFMs) have witnessed increasing adoption, particularly as image encoders for popular multi-modal large language models (MLLMs). However, without semantically fine-grained supervision, these models still encounter fundamental prediction errors in the…
Accurate graph annotation typically requires substantial labeled data, which is often challenging and resource-intensive to obtain. In this paper, we present Crowdsourced Homophily Ties Based Graph Annotation via Large Language Model (CSA-LLM), a novel approach that combines the strengths of crowdso…
LLMs have demonstrated impressive performance across various language tasks. However, the strengths of LLMs can vary due to different architectures, model sizes, areas of training data, etc. Therefore, ensemble reasoning for the strengths of different LLM experts is critical to achieving consistent
Graph learning models have been empirically proven to be vulnerable to backdoor threats, wherein adversaries submit trigger-embedded inputs to manipulate the model predictions. Current graph backdoor defenses manifest several limitations: 1) dependence on model-related details, 2) necessitation of a
Aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) with human feedback is crucial for their development. Existing preference optimization methods such as DPO and KTO, while improved based on Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), are inherently derived from PPO, requiring a reference model that adds…
The recent emergence of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) has introduced a new dimension to the Text-rich Image Understanding (TIU) field, with models demonstrating impressive and inspiring performance. However, their rapid evolution and widespread adoption have made it increasingly challeng…
We investigate certified robustness for GNNs under graph injection attacks. Existing research only provides sample-wise certificates by verifying each node independently, leading to very limited certifying performance. In this paper, we present the first collective certificate, which certifies a set…
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become widely used in the field of graph mining. However, these networks are vulnerable to structural perturbations. While many research efforts have focused on analyzing vulnerability through poisoning attacks, we have identified an inefficiency in current attack l…
The Fairness and Goodness Algorithm (FGA) is a widely used trust system in signed directed networks. However, attackers can manipulate trust scores on FGA by launching indirect Sybil attacks and exploiting strong ties. In this work, we propose a novel attack method vicinage-attack that formulates th…
Collective learning methods exploit relations among data points to enhance classification performance. However, such relations, represented as edges in the underlying graphical model, expose an extra attack surface to the adversaries. We study adversarial robustness of an important class of such gra…
This paper considers robust CDMA receiver design and jamming evaluation under disguised jamming, where the jammer generates a fake signal using the same spreading code, constellation and pulse shaping filter as that of the authorized signal. First, we analyze the performance of conventional CDMA sys…
