Facial Expression Recognition (FER) seeks to classify affective states from facial images, which remains a challenging problem due to variations in real-world conditions. FER task becomes particularly complex when handling unconstrained environments characterized by partial occlusions, different hea
Short-term precipitation nowcasting is inherently under-constrained due to limited historical observation windows: identical observations can lead to multiple plausible future trajectories, especially for extreme events. Existing generative methods rely solely on visual features and lack explicit co…
Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and GPT-4 are versatile and capable of addressing open-domain question-answering(QA) tasks effectively. However, general LLMs, which are developed on open-domain data, may lack the domain-specific knowledge essential for tasks in vertical domains, such as l…
The use of large language models (LLMs) as automated evaluation tools to assess the quality of generated natural language, known as ”LLMs-as-Judges”, has demonstrated promising capabilities and is rapidly gaining widespread attention. However, when applied to pairwise comparisons of candidate respon…
Recent research demonstrates the effectiveness of using pre-trained language models for legal case retrieval. Most of the existing works focus on improving the representation ability for the contextualized embedding of the [CLS] token and calculate relevance using textual semantic similarity. Howeve…
Recent advancements have underscored the exceptional analytical and situational understanding capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in autonomous driving decisions. However, the inherent hallucination issues of LLMs pose significant safety concerns when utilized as standalone decision-making…
Multimodal dialogue generation requires a comprehensive understanding of each modality and the ability to effectively integrate these modalities to produce contextually relevant and diverse responses. However, existing approaches, which primarily rely on language models, often suffer from modality b…
Existing retrieval-augmented code generation (RACG) methods typically use an external retrieval module to fetch semantically similar code snippets used for generating subsequent fragments. However, even for consecutive code fragments, the content often diverges due to logical progression, resulting
Audio-to-intent recognition is a critical task focused on identifying a speaker’s intent from spoken language. Recently, multimodal audio-to-intent approaches have emerged as the predominant strategy for enhancing audio-based intent recognition. In this study, we conduct a series of empirical experi…
Speech-to-text (S2T) generation systems frequently face challenges in low-resource scenarios, primarily due to the lack of extensive labeled datasets. One emerging solution is constructing virtual training samples by interpolating inputs and labels, which has notably enhanced system generalization i…
Knowledge compilation is an alternative solution to address demanding reasoning tasks with high complexity via converting knowledge bases into a suitable target language. Interestingly, the notion of logical separability, proposed by Levesque, offers a general explanation for the tractability of cla…
How to find proper moments to generate partial sentence translation given a streaming speech input? Existing approaches waiting-and-translating for a fixed duration often break the acoustic units in speech, since the boundaries between acoustic units in speech are not even. In this paper, we propose…
