We introduce FinMMDocR, a novel bilingual multimodal benchmark for evaluating multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on real-world financial numerical reasoning. Compared to existing benchmarks, our work delivers three major advancements. (1) Scenario Awareness: 57.9% of 1,200 expert-annotated pro
Social recommendation leverages social relations to enhance user preference modeling. However, real-world social networks are often noisy and unreliable, where misleading social relationships introduce anisotropic perturbations into user representations. Existing denoising approaches, including heur
Agents based on large language models have shown great potential in accelerating scientific discovery by leveraging their rich background knowledge and reasoning capabilities. In this paper, we introduce BioDiscoveryAgent, an agent that designs new experiments, reasons about their outcomes, and effi…
Traffic flow data are of great value in smart city applications. However, limited by data collection costs and privacy sensitivity, it is rather difficult to obtain large-scale traffic flow data. Therefore, various data generation methods have been proposed in the literature. Nevertheless, these met…
Human Action Recognition (HAR) has widespread applications in areas such as human-computer interaction, elderly care, and home healthcare. However, current sensor-based HAR faces challenges of low fine-grained recognition performance and difficulty in distinguishing similar actions. To solve this pr…
Recent studies have achieved remarkable results for action recognition with human skeletal data by utilizing graph convolutional models. Traditional approaches typically aggregate local spatio-temporal information bottom-up to form a single spatio-temporal global understanding. However, this method…
Point cloud sequence-based 3D action recognition has achieved impressive performance and efficiency. However, existing point cloud sequence modeling methods cannot adequately balance the precision of limb micro-movements with the integrity of posture macro-structure, leading to the loss of crucial i…
In video compression, motion estimation and motion compensation are critical for achieving efficient encoding. Although the commonly used SpyNet and bilinear interpolation have contributed in improving the compression efficiency, they still have limitations. SpyNet often loses details and fails to f…
Automated detection of cervical lesion cell clumps is crucial for cervical cancer screening. However, the dense packing and overlap of cells, caused by adhesion molecules, make detection challenging. To address this issue, we propose the Morphology-Aware Detector (MA-Det). Specifically, by innovativ…
Nucleus segmentation plays a vital role in medical image analysis. However, existing segmentation methods frequently encounter hurdles, such as the loss of crucial image details during downsampling and issues like noise and spatial displacement. In this study, we propose NucleiFormer, where Haar wav…
Contrastive learning has achieved significant progress in the field of self-supervised skeleton-based action recognition. However, existing methods often apply strong augmentations directly to skeleton data, which can distort or even lose the semantic of the skeletons. Additionally, most methods foc…
Large language model (LLM) agents have demonstrated impressive capabilities in utilizing external tools and knowledge to boost accuracy and reduce hallucinations. However, developing prompting techniques that enable LLM agents to effectively use these tools and knowledge remains a heuristic and labo…
Previous optical flow based video compression is gradually replaced by unsupervised deformable convolution (DCN) based method. This is mainly due to the fact that the motion vector (MV) estimated by the existing optical flow network is not accurate and may introduce extra artifacts. However, DCN bas…
Transformers have emerged as a transformative tool in various computer vision tasks, excelling at capturing long-range dependencies. Their potential applicability and scalability in the interpretation of high-resolution remote sensing images (HRRSIs) have thus garnered substantial interest. However,…
A central aspect of machine learning research is experimentation, the process of designing and running experiments, analyzing the results, and iterating towards some positive outcome (e.g., improving accuracy). Could agents driven by powerful language models perform machine learning experimentation…
Answering real-world complex queries, such as complex product search, often requires accurate retrieval from semi-structured knowledge bases that involve blend of unstructured (e.g., textual descriptions of products) and structured (e.g., entity relations of products) information. However, many prev…
Token embeddings, a mapping from discrete lexical symbols to continuous vectors, are at the heart of any language model (LM). However, lexical symbol meanings can also be determined and even redefined by their structural role in a long context. In this paper, we ask: is it possible for a language mo…
In-context learning is the ability of a pretrained model to adapt to novel and diverse downstream tasks by conditioning on prompt examples, without optimizing any parameters. While large language models have demonstrated this ability, how in-context learning could be performed over graphs is unexpl…
Despite recent success in large language model (LLM) reasoning, LLMs struggle with hierarchical multi-step reasoning tasks like generating complex programs. For these tasks, humans often start with a high-level algorithmic design and implement each part gradually. We introduce Parsel, a framework en…
Few-shot knowledge graph (KG) completion task aims to perform inductive reasoning over the KG: given only a few support triplets of a new relation $\bowtie$ (e.g., (chop,$\bowtie$,kitchen), (read,$\bowtie$,library), the goal is to predict the query triplets of the same unseen relation $\bowtie$, e.g…
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are a predominant technique for learning over graphs. However, there is relatively little understanding of why GNNs are successful in practice and whether they are necessary for good performance. Here, we show that for many standard transductive node classification bench…
Incorporating relational reasoning into neural networks has greatly expanded their capabilities and scope. One defining trait of relational reasoning is that it operates on a set of entities, as opposed to standard vector representations. Existing end-to-end approaches for relational reasoning typic…
Neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples, malicious inputs crafted to fool trained models. Adversarial examples often exhibit black-box transfer, meaning that adversarial examples for one model can fool another model. However, adversarial examples are typically overfit to exploit the p…
Due to the limitation of image acquisition, hyperspectral remote sensing imagery is hard to reflect in both high spatial and spectral resolutions. Super-resolution (SR) is a technique which can improve the spatial resolution. Inspired by recent achievements in deep convolutional neural network (CNN)…
Multispectral images contain many clues of surface characteristics of the objects, thus can be used in many computer vision tasks, e.g., recolorization and segmentation. However, due to the complex geometry structure of natural scenes, the spectra curves of the same surface can look very different u…
