Design, Control, and Evaluation of a Modular Variable Configuration Rehabilitation Robot for Early Physical Therapy

RA-L 2026

This paper proposes a modular variable configuration rehabilitation robot (MVCRR), aiming to meet the needs of multi-functional, full-cycle rehabilitation. MVCRR integrates a lower-limb training module and a-sit-to-stand module, offering 16 actuated degrees of freedom and supporting four rehabilitat

SpineBench: A Clinically Salient, Level-Aware Benchmark Powered by the SpineMed-450k Corpus

ICLR 2026poster

Spine disorders affect 619 million people globally and are a leading cause of disability, yet AI-assisted diagnosis remains limited by the lack of level-aware, multimodal datasets. Clinical decision-making for spine disorders requires sophisticated reasoning across X-ray, CT, and MRI at specific ver…

RTdetector: Deep Transformer Networks for Time Series Anomaly Detection Based on Reconstruction Trend

IJCAI 2025

Anomaly detection in multivariate time series data is critical across a variety of real-life applications. The predominant anomaly detection techniques currently rely on reconstruction-based methods. However, these methods often overfit the abnormal pattern and fail to diagnose the anomaly. Although

ToxicTextCLIP: Text-Based Poisoning and Backdoor Attacks on CLIP Pre-training

NeurIPS 2025poster

The Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) model has significantly advanced vision-language modeling by aligning image-text pairs from large-scale web data through self-supervised contrastive learning. Yet, its reliance on uncurated Internet-sourced data exposes it to data poisoning and backd…

A Contrastive Knowledge Transfer Framework for Model Compression and Transfer Learning

ICASSP 2023accepted

Knowledge Transfer (KT) achieves competitive performance and is widely used for image classification tasks in model compression and transfer learning. Existing KT works transfer the information from a large model ("teacher") to train a small model ("student") by minimizing the difference of their co…

Automatic Attention Pruning: Improving and Automating Model Pruning using Attentions

AISTATS 2023poster

Pruning is a promising approach to compress deep learning models in order to deploy them on resource-constrained edge devices. However, many existing pruning solutions are based on unstructured pruning, which yields models that cannot efficiently run on commodity hardware; and they often require use…

EmoCaps: Emotion Capsule based Model for Conversational Emotion Recognition

ACL 2022findings

Emotion recognition in conversation (ERC) aims to analyze the speaker’s state and identify their emotion in the conversation. Recent works in ERC focus on context modeling but ignore the representation of contextual emotional tendency. In order to extract multi-modal information and the emotional te…

LGT-Net: Indoor Panoramic Room Layout Estimation With Geometry-Aware Transformer Network

CVPR 2022poster

3D room layout estimation by a single panorama using deep neural networks has made great progress. However, previous approaches can not obtain efficient geometry awareness of room layout with the only latitude of boundaries or horizon-depth. We present that using horizon-depth along with room height…

RGB-X Classification for Electronics Sorting

IROS 2022poster

Effectively disassembling and recovering materials from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a critical step in moving global supply chains from carbon-intensive, mined materials to recycled and renewable ones. Conventional recycling processes rely on shredding and sorting waste strea…

CLMM-Net: Robust Cascaded LiDAR Map Matching based on Multi-Level Intensity Map

IROS 2021poster

LiDAR map matching(LMM) is a critical localization technique in autonomous driving while existing methods have problems in terms of both accuracy and robustness when driving in the scenes with poor structure information (e.g. highways). This paper put forward a multi-level intensity map based cascad…

LaryngoTORS: A Novel Cable-Driven Parallel Robotic System for Transoral Laser Phonosurgery

RA-L 2020

Transoral laser phonosurgery is a commonly used surgical procedure in which a laser beam is used to perform incision, ablation or photocoagulation of laryngeal tissues. Two techniques are commonly practiced: free beam and fiber delivery. For free beam delivery, a laser scanner is integrated into a s

ESD CYCLOPS: A New Robotic Surgical System for GI Surgery

ICRA 2018poster

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers account for 1.5 million deaths worldwide. Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) is an advanced therapeutic endoscopy technique with superior clinical outcome due to the minimally invasive and en bloc removal of tumours. In the western world, ESD is seldom carried out,…
