KRAMABENCH: A Benchmark for AI Systems on Data-to-Insight Pipelines over Data Lakes

ICLR 2026poster

Discovering insights from a real-world data lake potentially containing unclean, semi-structured, and unstructured data requires a variety of data processing tasks, ranging from extraction and cleaning to integration, analysis, and modeling. This process often also demands domain knowledge and proje…

Not All Documents Are What You Need for Extracting Instruction Tuning Data

ICLR 2026poster

Instruction tuning improves the LLMs performance but depends on high-quality training data. Recently, LLMs have been used to synthesize data, enhancing training with seeds like question-answer (QA) pairs. However, this synthesis often results in instruction examples similar to the seeds, lacking div…

DGraFormer: Dynamic Graph Learning Guided Multi-Scale Transformer for Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

IJCAI 2025

Multivariate time series forecasting is a critical focus across many fields. Existing transformer-based models have overlooked the explicit modeling of inter-variable correlations. Similarly, the graph-based methods have also failed to address the dynamic nature of multivariate correlations and the

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…

Projection-Manifold Regularized Latent Diffusion for Robust General Image Fusion

NeurIPS 2025poster

This study proposes PDFuse, a robust, general training-free image fusion framework built on pre-trained latent diffusion models with projection–manifold regularization. By redefining fusion as a diffusion inference process constrained by multiple source images, PDFuse can adapt to varied image modal…

Text-DiFuse: An Interactive Multi-Modal Image Fusion Framework based on Text-modulated Diffusion Model

NeurIPS 2024spotlight

Existing multi-modal image fusion methods fail to address the compound degradations presented in source images, resulting in fusion images plagued by noise, color bias, improper exposure, etc. Additionally, these methods often overlook the specificity of foreground objects, weakening the salience of…
