Modeling the relationships among variables has become increasingly important, particularly in high-dimensional multivariate time series forecasting tasks. However, most existing methods primarily focus on capturing coarse-grained correlations between variables, overlooking a finer and more dynamic a…
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in multimodal understanding, but they frequently suffer from hallucination - generating content inconsistent with visual inputs. In this work, we explore a novel perspective on hallucination mitigation by examining the in…
User interface understanding with vision-language models (VLMs) has received much attention due to its potential for enhancing software automation.However, existing datasets used to build UI-VLMs either only contain large-scale context-free element annotations or contextualized functional descriptio…
The increasing demand for domain-specific evaluation of large language models (LLMs) has led to the development of numerous benchmarks. These efforts often adhere to the principle of data scaling, relying on large corpora or extensive question-answer (QA) sets to ensure broad coverage. However, the
Sequential recommenders predict users’ next interactions based on historical behavior and are essential in modern recommendation systems. While Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise, their size and high inference costs limit deployment on resource-constrained devices. Small Language Models (SLMs…
Computer-aided design (CAD) is crucial in prototyping 3D objects through geometric instructions (i.e., CAD programs). In practical design workflows, designers often engage in time-consuming reviews and refinements of these prototypes by comparing them with reference images. To bridge this gap, we in…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in natural language processing tasks, such as text generation and semantic understanding. However, their performance on numerical reasoning tasks, such as basic arithmetic, numerical retrieval, and magnitude comparison, remains s…
Proteins are central to biological systems, participating as building blocks across all forms of life. Despite advancements in understanding protein functions through protein sequence analysis, there remains potential for further exploration in integrating protein structural information. We argue th
The isomorphism problem is a key challenge in both graph and hypergraph domains, crucial for applications like protein design, chemical pathways, and community detection. Hypergraph isomorphism, which models high-order relationships in real-world scenarios, remains underexplored compared to the grap…
Topic modeling is a powerful unsupervised tool for knowledge discovery. However, existing work struggles with generating limited-quality topics that are uninformative and incoherent, which hindering interpretable insights from managing textual data. In this paper, we improve the original variational
Accurate weather forecasts are important for disaster prevention, agricultural planning, etc. Traditional numerical weather prediction (NWP) methods offer physically interpretable high-accuracy predictions but are computationally expensive and fail to fully leverage rapidly growing historical data.…
Recent advancements in text-guided image editing have achieved notable success by leveraging natural language prompts for fine-grained semantic control. However, certain editing semantics are challenging to specify precisely using textual descriptions alone. A practical alternative involves learning…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances factual accuracy by integrating external knowledge, yet it introduces a critical issue: erroneous or biased retrieval can mislead generation, compounding hallucinations, a phenomenon we term Hallucination on Hallucination. To address this, we propose Deb…
Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit impressive performance across diverse domains but often suffer from overconfidence, limiting their reliability in critical applications. We propose SteerConf, a novel framework that systematically steers LLMs' confidence scores to improve their calibration and re…
Large language models (LLMs) have made significant strides in natural language processing by leveraging their ability to comprehend and reason with factual knowledge. However, a significant amount of factual knowledge is stored in structured data, which has unique characteristics not typically encou…
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are pivotal in graph-based learning, particularly excelling in node classification. However, their scalability is hindered by the need for multi-hop data during inference, limiting their application in latency-sensitive scenarios. Recent efforts to distill GNNs into mult…
