Test-time entropy minimization helps adapt a model to novel environments and incentivize its reasoning capability, unleashing the model's potential during inference by allowing it to evolve and improve in real-time using its own predictions. However, pure test-time entropy minimization can favor non…
Recent advancements in multimodal reasoning overlook the audio modality. We introduce Audio-Reasoner, a large-scale audio language model for deep reasoning. We meticulously curated a large-scale and diverse multi-task audio dataset with simple annotations. Then, we leverage closed-source models to c
Document-level Relation Extraction (DocRE) aims to extract relations from documents. Compared with sentence-level relation extraction, it is necessary to extract long-distance dependencies. Existing methods enhance the output of trained DocRE models either by learning logical rules or by extracting…
Automatic radiology report generation is pivotal in reducing the workload of radiologists, while simultaneously improving diagnostic accuracy and operational efficiency. Current methods face significant challenges, including the effective alignment of medical visual features with textual features an…
Multi-task learning (MTL) is a widely explored paradigm that enables the simultaneous learning of multiple tasks using a single model. Despite numerous solutions, the key issues of optimization conflict and task imbalance remain under-addressed, limiting performance. Unlike existing optimization-bas…
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) often suffer from high time complexity $O(T)$ due to the sequential processing of $T$ spikes, making training computationally expensive. In this paper, we propose a novel Fixed-point Parallel Training (FPT) method to accelerate SNN training without modifying the netwo…
Nowadays deep models are required to be versatile due to the increasing realistic needs. Multi-task learning (MTL) offers an efficient way for this purpose to learn multiple tasks simultaneously with a single model. However, prior MTL solutions often focus on resolving conflicts and imbalances durin…
Generative models have gained significant attention in multivariate time series forecasting (MTS), particularly due to their ability to generate high-fidelity samples. Forecasting the probability distribution of multivariate time series is a challenging yet practical task. Although some recent attem…
Inspired by the impressive capabilities of GPT-4o, there is growing interest in enabling speech language models (SLMs) to engage in natural, fluid spoken interactions with humans. Recent advancements have led to the development of several SLMs that demonstrate promising results in this area. However…
In this paper, we seek to develop a versatile test-time adaptation (TTA) objective for a variety of tasks — classification and regression across image-, object-, and pixel-level predictions. We achieve this through a self-bootstrapping scheme that optimizes prediction consistency between the test im…
Test-time adaptation has proven effective in adapting a given trained model to unseen test samples with potential distribution shifts. However, in real-world scenarios, models are usually deployed on resource-limited devices, e.g., FPGAs, and are often quantized and hard-coded with non-modifiable pa…
Artificial intelligence (AI)-empowered industrial fault diagnostics is important in ensuring the safe operation of industrial applications. Since complex industrial systems often involve multiple industrial plants (possibly belonging to different companies or subsidiaries) with sensitive data collec…
Large-scale neural networks possess considerable expressive power. They are well-suited for complex learning tasks in industrial applications. However, large-scale models pose significant challenges for training under the current Federated Learning (FL) paradigm. Existing approaches for efficient FL…
Automatic segmentation of COVID-19 lesions is essential for computer-aided diagnosis. However, this task remains challenging because widely-used supervised based methods require large-scale annotated data that is difficult to obtain. Although an unsupervised method based on anomaly detection has sho…
The behaviors of deep neural networks (DNNs) are notoriously resistant to human interpretations. In this paper, we propose Hypergradient Data Relevance Analysis, or HyDRA, which interprets the predictions made by DNNs as effects of their training data. Existing approaches generally estimate data con…
