Heterogeneous Adversarial Play in Interactive Environments

NeurIPS 2025poster

Self-play constitutes a fundamental paradigm for autonomous skill acquisition, whereby agents iteratively enhance their capabilities through self-directed environmental exploration. Conventional self-play frameworks exploit agent symmetry within zero-sum competitive settings, yet this approach prove…

STA-V2A: Video-to-Audio Generation with Semantic and Temporal Alignment

ICASSP 2025accepted

Visual and auditory perception are two crucial ways humans experience the world. Text-to-video generation has made remarkable progress over the past year, but the absence of harmonious audio in generated video limits its broader applications. In this paper, we propose Semantic and Temporal Aligned V…

Prompt-guided Precise Audio Editing with Diffusion Models

ICML 2024poster

Audio editing involves the arbitrary manipulation of audio content through precise control. Although text-guided diffusion models have made significant advancements in text-to-audio generation, they still face challenges in finding a flexible and precise way to modify target events within an audio t…

Evaluating and Inducing Personality in Pre-trained Language Models

NeurIPS 2023spotlight

Standardized and quantified evaluation of machine behaviors is a crux of understanding LLMs. In this study, we draw inspiration from psychometric studies by leveraging human personality theory as a tool for studying machine behaviors. Originating as a philosophical quest for human behaviors, the stu…

MEWL: Few-shot multimodal word learning with referential uncertainty

ICML 2023poster

Without explicit feedback, humans can rapidly learn the meaning of words. Children can acquire a new word after just a few passive exposures, a process known as fast mapping. This word learning capability is believed to be the most fundamental building block of multimodal understanding and reasoning…

On the Complexity of Bayesian Generalization

ICML 2023poster

We examine concept generalization at a large scale in the natural visual spectrum. Established computational modes (*i.e.*, rule-based or similarity-based) are primarily studied isolated, focusing on confined and abstract problem spaces. In this work, we study these two modes when the *problem space…
