Multimodal Large Language Models struggle to maintain reliable performance under extreme real-world visual degradations, which impede their practical robustness. Existing robust MLLMs predominantly rely on implicit training/adaptation that focuses solely on visual encoder generalization, suffering f
In federated learning (FL), models must \emph{converge quickly} under tight communication budgets while \emph{generalizing} across non-IID client distributions. These twin requirements have naturally led to two widely used techniques: client/server \emph{momentum} to accelerate progress, and \emph{s…
Global aging necessitates tele-monitoring systems to provide real-time tracking and timely assistance for older adults living independently. While pervasive wireless devices (e.g., CSI, IMU, UWB) enable cost-effective, non-intrusive monitoring, existing systems lack flexibility, limiting their adapt
