HVAE: Hyperbolic Variational Autoencoder For Flexible Knowledge Transfer Across Multiple Domains

ICML 2026poster

Cross-domain recommendation (CDR) serves as a pivotal solution to data sparsity and cold-start problems by transferring knowledge across distinct domains. However, existing approaches predominately rely on Euclidean embedding spaces, which suffer from a fundamental geometry-distribution mismatch: re…

EfficientPIE: Real-Time Prediction on Pedestrian Crossing Intention with Sole Observation

IJCAI 2025

Present Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) responds to the dangerous crossing of pedestrians after the occurrence of the incident, occasionally causing severe accidents due to the stringent response window. Inference of pedestrian crossing intention may help vehicles operate in advance and en

A Layer-Wise Natural Gradient Optimizer for Training Deep Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2024poster

Second-order optimization algorithms, such as the Newton method and the natural gradient descent (NGD) method exhibit excellent convergence properties for training deep neural networks, but the high computational cost limits its practical application. In this paper, we focus on the NGD method and pr…

A Trace-restricted Kronecker-Factored Approximation to Natural Gradient

AAAI 2021technical

Second-order optimization methods have the ability to accelerate convergence by modifying the gradient through the curvature matrix. There have been many attempts to use second-order optimization methods for training deep neural networks. In this work, inspired by diagonal approximations and factore…

THOR, Trace-based Hardware-driven Layer-Oriented Natural Gradient Descent Computation

AAAI 2021technical

It is well-known that second-order optimizer can accelerate the training of deep neural networks, however, the huge computation cost of second-order optimization makes it impractical to apply in real practice. In order to reduce the cost, many methods have been proposed to approximate a second-order…
