Multimodal Intention Recognition (MIR) plays a critical role in applications such as intelligent assistants, service robots, and autonomous systems. However, in real-world settings, different modalities often vary significantly in informativeness, reliability, and noise levels. This leads to modalit…
While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) excel at generalizing across modalities and tasks, effectively adapting them to specific downstream tasks while simultaneously retaining both general and specialized knowledge remains challenging. Although Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is widely used to ef…
Understanding intention and emotion from social media poses unique challenges due to the inherent uncertainty in multimodal data, where posts often contain incomplete or missing modalities. While this uncertainty reflects real-world scenarios, it remains underexplored within the computer vision comm…
Speech applications are expected to be low-power and robust under noisy conditions. An effective Voice Activity Detection (VAD) front-end lowers the computational need. Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are known to be biologically plausible and power-efficient. However, SNN-based VADs have yet to achi…
"Multi-label Intention Understanding (MIU) for images is a critical yet challenging domain, primarily due to the ambiguity of intentions leading to a resource-intensive annotation process. Current leading approaches are held back by the limited amount of labeled data. To mitigate the scarcity of ann…
The identification of sensory cues associated with potential opportunities and dangers is frequently complicated by unrelated events that separate useful cues by long delays. As a result, it remains a challenging task for state-of-the-art spiking neural networks (SNNs) to establish long-term tempora…
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are shown to be more biologically plausible and energy efficient over their predecessors. However, there is a lack of an efficient and generalized training method for deep SNNs, especially for deployment on analog computing substrates. In this paper, we put forward a g…
