Physiology as Language: Translating Nocturnal Breathing to EEG

ICML 2026poster

This paper introduces a novel cross-physiology translation task: synthesizing sleep electroencephalography (EEG) from respiration signals. To address the significant complexity gap between the two modalities, we propose a waveform-conditional generative framework that preserves fine-grained respirat…

Language-Guided Image Tokenization for Generation

CVPR 2025poster

Image tokenization, the process of transforming raw image pixels into a compact low-dimensional latent representation, has proven crucial for scalable and efficient image generation. However, mainstream image tokenization methods generally have limited compression rates, making high-resolution image…

REG: Rectified Gradient Guidance for Conditional Diffusion Models

ICML 2025poster

Guidance techniques are simple yet effective for improving conditional generation in diffusion models. Albeit their empirical success, the practical implementation of guidance diverges significantly from its theoretical motivation. In this paper, we reconcile this discrepancy by replacing the scaled…

RL Tango: Reinforcing Generator and Verifier Together for Language Reasoning

NeurIPS 2025poster

Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently emerged as a compelling approach for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), where an LLM generator serves as a policy guided by a verifier (reward model). However, current RL post-training methods for LLMs typically use verifier…

Rank-N-Contrast: Learning Continuous Representations for Regression

NeurIPS 2023spotlight

Deep regression models typically learn in an end-to-end fashion without explicitly emphasizing a regression-aware representation. Consequently, the learned representations exhibit fragmentation and fail to capture the continuous nature of sample orders, inducing suboptimal results across a wide rang…

Unsupervised Representation for Semantic Segmentation by Implicit Cycle-Attention Contrastive Learning

AAAI 2022technical

We study the unsupervised representation learning for the semantic segmentation task. Different from previous works that aim at providing unsupervised pre-trained backbones for segmentation models which need further supervised fine-tune, here, we focus on providing representation that is only traine…
