FedCDWA: Decoupled Federated Prototype Distillation with Hierarchical Wasserstein Aggregation

ICML 2026poster

Federated learning enables decentralized clients to collaboratively train models without sharing local data. However, heterogeneous client distributions often induce client drift and hinder convergence. This paper proposes FedCDWA, a decoupled hierarchical federated distillation framework. FedCDWA d…

GameVerse: Can Vision-Language Models Learn from Video-based Reflection?

ICML 2026poster

Human gameplay is a visually grounded interaction loop in which players act, reflect on failures, and watch tutorials to refine strategies. Can Vision-Language Models (VLMs) also learn from video-based reflection? We present **GameVerse**, a comprehensive video game benchmark that enables a *reflect…

A Climbing Robot for Tube-Sheet Inspection Based on Planar Parallel Mechanisms

RA-L 2025

This paper introduces a novel climbing robot for tube-sheet inspection (CRTI) that uses inner wall grippers (IWGs) to grasp tubes, enabling it to hang and crawl beneath the tube-sheet plane. The robot is designed primarily for inspecting steam generators in nuclear power plants. The CRTI based on a

Handling Label Noise via Instance-Level Difficulty Modeling and Dynamic Optimization

NeurIPS 2025poster

Recent studies indicate that deep neural networks degrade in generalization performance under noisy supervision. Existing methods focus on isolating clean subsets or correcting noisy labels, facing limitations such as high computational costs, heavy hyperparameter tuning process, and coarse-grained…

Harnessing Diversity for Important Data Selection in Pretraining Large Language Models

ICLR 2025spotlight

Data selection is of great significance in pretraining large language models, given the variation in quality within the large-scale available training corpora. To achieve this, researchers are currently investigating the use of data influence to measure the importance of data instances, $i.e.,$ a…
