Despite advances in long-context inference, large language models (LLMs) remain fundamentally limited by the key-value (KV) caching mechanisms that are necessary for stable computation. Management techniques, such as selective token eviction and pruning, have vastly mitigated the issues that have ar…
Source-Free Domain Adaptation (SFDA) enables model adaptation under distribution shifts without access to source data, providing a practical solution for privacy-sensitive applications and having shown substantial progress in classification. In contrast, regression involves ordered and continuous ta…
Molecular understanding is central to advancing areas such as scientific and drug discovery, yet Large Language Models (LLMs) struggle to understand molecular graphs effectively. Existing graph–LLM bridges often adapt the Q-Former-style connector with fixed-length static tokens, which is originally…
Graph Domain Adaptation (GDA) transfers knowledge from labeled source graphs to unlabeled target graphs, addressing the challenge of label scarcity. However, existing GDA methods typically assume that both source and target graphs exhibit homophily, leading existing methods to perform poorly when he
Large language models (LLMs) enable reasoning over biomolecular structures, yet existing methods remain modality-specific and typically compress structural inputs via sequence-based tokenization or fixed-length query connectors. Such architectures either omit geometric grounding required to mitigate…
Recent advances in natural language processing (NLP) have opened up greater opportunities to enable fine-tuned large language models (LLMs) to behave as more powerful interactive agents through improved instruction-following ability. However, understanding how this impacts confidence calibration for…
Graph Domain Adaptation (GDA) transfers knowledge from labeled source graphs to unlabeled target graphs, addressing the challenge of label scarcity. In this paper, we highlight the significance of graph homophily, a pivotal factor for graph domain alignment, which, however, has long been overlooked…
The quadratic complexity of the attention mechanism in Transformer models has motivated the development of alternative architectures with sub-quadratic scaling, such as state-space models. Among these, Mamba has emerged as a leading architecture, achieving state-of-the-art results across a range of…
Graph Domain Adaptation (GDA) addresses a pressing challenge in cross-network learning, particularly pertinent due to the absence of labeled data in real-world graph datasets. Recent studies attempted to learn domain invariant representations by eliminating structural shifts between graphs. In this…
Over recent years, the Transformer has become a fundamental building block for sequence modeling architectures. Yet at its core is the use of self-attention, whose memory and computational cost grow quadratically with the sequence length $N$, rendering it prohibitively expensive for long sequences.…
In the field of domain generalization, the task of constructing a predictive model capable of generalizing to a target domain without access to target data remains challenging. This problem becomes further complicated when considering evolving dynamics between domains. While various approaches have…
Distribution shifts over time are common in real-world machine-learning applications. This scenario is formulated as Evolving Domain Generalization (EDG), where models aim to generalize well to unseen target domains in a time-varying system by learning and leveraging the underlying evolving pattern…
In many machine learning tasks, data is inherently sequential. Most existing algorithms learn from sequential data in an auto-regressive manner, which predicts the next unseen data point based on the observed sequence, implicitly assuming the presence of an \emph{evolving pattern} embedded in the da…
Existing domain generalization aims to learn a generalizable model to perform well even on unseen domains. For many real-world machine learning applications, the data distribution often shifts gradually along domain indices. For example, a self-driving car with a vision system drives from dawn to du…
