Mind Dreamer: Untethering Imagination via Active Counterfactual Reasoning on Latent Manifolds

ICML 2026poster

Model-Based Reinforcement Learning (MBRL) leverages latent imagination for sample efficiency, yet remains constrained by **Historical Tethering**: imagination is typically initialized from observed states. This creates a learning asymmetry, where the world model’s manifold discovery outpaces the pol…

Spatio-Temporal Difference Guided Motion Deblurring with the Complementary Vision Sensor

CVPR 2026

Motion blur arises when rapid scene changes occur during the exposure period, collapsing rich intra-exposure motion into a single RGB frame. Without explicit structural or temporal cues, RGB-only deblurring is highly ill-posed and often fails under extreme motion. Inspired by the human visual system

CSVO: Complementary-Pathway Spatial-Enhanced Visual Odometry for Extreme Environments with Brain-Inspired Vision Sensors

IROS 2025

Visual Odometry (VO) estimates the pose and motion trajectory of the camera based on visual input, serving as a fundamental technique for robotic positioning and navigation. However, existing VO methods face challenges in visual degradation in extreme environments, e.g., high dynamic range or fast-m

Diffusion-Based Extreme High-speed Scenes Reconstruction with the Complementary Vision Sensor

ICCV 2025poster

Recording and reconstructing high-speed scenes poses a significant challenge. While high-speed cameras can capture fine temporal details, their extremely high bandwidth demands make continuous recording unsustainable. Conversely, traditional RGB cameras, typically operating at 30 FPS, rely on frame…

Sanitizing Backdoored Graph Neural Networks: A Multidimensional Approach

IJCAI 2025

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are known to be prone to adversarial attacks, among which backdoor attack is a major security threat. By injecting backdoor triggers into a graph and assigning a target class label to nodes attached to the triggers, the attacker can mislead the GNN model trained on the p

GUST: Combinatorial Generalization by Unsupervised Grouping with Neuronal Coherence

NeurIPS 2023poster

Dynamically grouping sensory information into structured entities is essential for understanding the world of combinatorial nature. However, the grouping ability and therefore combinatorial generalization are still challenging artificial neural networks. Inspired by the evidence that successful grou…

Dance of SNN and ANN: Solving binding problem by combining spike timing and reconstructive attention

NeurIPS 2022accept

The binding problem is one of the fundamental challenges that prevent the artificial neural network (ANNs) from a compositional understanding of the world like human perception, because disentangled and distributed representations of generative factors can interfere and lead to ambiguity when comple…
