LLaVAction: evaluating and training multi-modal large language models for action understanding

ICLR 2026poster

Understanding human behavior requires measuring behavioral actions. Due to its complexity, behavior is best mapped onto a rich, semantic structure such as language. Emerging multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are promising candidates, but their fine-grained action understanding ability has not…

Adversarially Robust Out-of-Distribution Detection Using Lyapunov-Stabilized Embeddings

ICLR 2025poster

Despite significant advancements in out-of-distribution (OOD) detection, existing methods still struggle to maintain robustness against adversarial attacks, compromising their reliability in critical real-world applications. Previous studies have attempted to address this challenge by exposing detec…

DISTIL: Data-Free Inversion of Suspicious Trojan Inputs via Latent Diffusion

ICCV 2025poster

Deep neural networks have demonstrated remarkable success across numerous tasks, yet they remain vulnerable to Trojan (backdoor) attacks, raising serious concerns about their safety in real-world mission-critical applications. A common countermeasure is trigger inversion -- reconstructing malicious…

Time-series attribution maps with regularized contrastive learning

AISTATS 2025poster

Gradient-based attribution methods aim to explain decisions of deep learning models but so far lack identifiability guarantees. Here, we propose a method to generate attribution maps with identifiability guarantees by developing a regularized contrastive learning algorithm trained on time-series dat…

AmadeusGPT: a natural language interface for interactive animal behavioral analysis

NeurIPS 2023poster

The process of quantifying and analyzing animal behavior involves translating the naturally occurring descriptive language of their actions into machine-readable code. Yet, codifying behavior analysis is often challenging without deep understanding of animal behavior and technical machine learning k…

AcinoSet: A 3D Pose Estimation Dataset and Baseline Models for Cheetahs in the Wild

ICRA 2021poster

Animals are capable of extreme agility, yet understanding their complex dynamics, which have ecological, biomechanical and evolutionary implications, remains challenging. Being able to study this incredible agility will be critical for the development of next-generation autonomous legged robots. In…
