Adaptive Action Chunking at Inference-time for Vision-Language-Action Models

CVPR 2026

In Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, action chunking (i.e., executing a sequence of actions without intermediate replanning) is a key technique to improve robotic manipulation abilities. However, a large chunk size reduces the model's responsiveness to new information, while a small one increases

Enhancing Multivariate Time-Series Domain Adaptation via Contrastive Frequency Graph Discovery and Language-Guided Adversary Alignment

AAAI 2025technical

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) is a machine learning approach designed to minimize reliance on labeled data by aligning features between a labeled source domain and an unlabeled target domain, thereby reducing feature discrepancies, which is efficient for multivariate time series (MTS) predict…

Safe Bayesian Optimization for Complex Control Systems via Additive Gaussian Processes

RA-L 2025

Controller tuning and optimization have long been recognized as fundamental challenges in robotics and mechatronic systems. Traditional controller design techniques are usually model-based, and their closed-loop performance depends on the fidelity of the mathematical model. Subsequent tuning of the

Gradient-Based Dimensionality Reduction for Speech Emotion Recognition Using Deep Networks

ICASSP 2024accepted

This paper introduces a gradient-based approach for reducing the dimensionality of acoustic features, tailored for supervised deep learning models used in speech emotion recognition (SER). This method allows us to pinpoint the crucial acoustic features that the network heavily relies on, enabling us…

Incremental Few-Shot Object Detection for Robotics

ICRA 2022poster

Incremental few-shot learning is highly expected for practical robotics applications. On one hand, robot is desired to learn new tasks quickly and flexibly using only few annotated training samples; on the other hand, such new additional tasks should be learned in a continuous and incremental manner…

Few-Shot Object Detection via Classification Refinement and Distractor Retreatment

CVPR 2021poster

We aim to tackle the challenging Few-Shot Object Detection (FSOD) where data-scarce categories are presented during the model learning. The failure modes of FSOD are investigated that the performance degradation is mainly due to the classification incapability (false positives), which motivates us t…
