Benchmarking Multimodal Knowledge Conflict for Large Multimodal Models

AAAI 2026technical

Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) face notable challenges when encountering multimodal knowledge conflicts, particularly under retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks, where the contextual information from external sources may contradict the model’s internal parametric knowledge, leading to unr

Normalize Then Propagate: Efficient Homophilous Regularization for Few-Shot Semi-Supervised Node Classification

AAAI 2025technical

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated remarkable ability in semi-supervised node classification. However, most existing GNNs rely heavily on a large amount of labeled data for training, which is labor-intensive and requires extensive domain knowledge. In this paper, we first analyze the res…

Robust Logit Adjustment for Learning with Long-Tailed Noisy Data

AAAI 2025technical

Learning with noisy labels (LNL) methods have enabled the deployment of machine learning systems with imperfectly labeled data. However, these methods often struggle to identify noise in the presence of long-tailed (LT) class distributions, where the memorization effect becomes class-dependent. Conv…

Test-Time Selective Adaptation for Uni-Modal Distribution Shift in Multi-Modal Data

ICML 2025poster

Modern machine learning applications are characterized by the increasing size of deep models and the growing diversity of data modalities. This trend underscores the importance of efficiently adapting pre-trained multi-modal models to the test distribution in real time, i.e., multi-modal test-time…

DOS: Diverse Outlier Sampling for Out-of-Distribution Detection

ICLR 2024poster

Modern neural networks are known to give overconfident predictions for out-of-distribution inputs when deployed in the open world. It is common practice to leverage a surrogate outlier dataset to regularize the model during training, and recent studies emphasize the role of uncertainty in designing…

V-PETL Bench: A Unified Visual Parameter-Efficient Transfer Learning Benchmark

NeurIPS 2024poster

Parameter-efficient transfer learning (PETL) methods show promise in adapting a pre-trained model to various downstream tasks while training only a few parameters. In the computer vision (CV) domain, numerous PETL algorithms have been proposed, but their direct employment or comparison remains incon…

A Noisy-Label-Learning Formulation for Immune Repertoire Classification and Disease-Associated Immune Receptor Sequence Identification

IJCAI 2023poster

Immune repertoire classification, a typical multiple instance learning (MIL) problem, is a frontier research topic in computational biology that makes transformative contributions to new vaccines and immune therapies. However, the traditional instance-space MIL, directly assigning bag-level labels t…

READ: Aggregating Reconstruction Error into Out-of-Distribution Detection

AAAI 2023technical

Detecting out-of-distribution (OOD) samples is crucial to the safe deployment of a classifier in the real world. However, deep neural networks are known to be overconfident for abnormal data. Existing works directly design score function by mining the inconsistency from classifier for in-distributio…

Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right: Combating Confirmation Bias in Learning with Label Noise

AAAI 2023technical

Noisy labels damage the performance of deep networks. For robust learning, a prominent two-stage pipeline alternates between eliminating possible incorrect labels and semi-supervised training. However, discarding part of noisy labels could result in a loss of information, especially when the corrup…

Semi-supervised Learning with Multi-Head Co-Training

AAAI 2022technical

Co-training, extended from self-training, is one of the frameworks for semi-supervised learning. Without natural split of features, single-view co-training works at the cost of training extra classifiers, where the algorithm should be delicately designed to prevent individual classifiers from collap…
