Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown remarkable effectiveness across various applications, but their computational complexity poses significant scalability challenges. To this end, GNN-to-MLP Knowledge Distillation (KD) methods transfer relational inductive biases from GNNs to MLPs, equipping MLP
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has achieved remarkable success across both NLP and CV domains. However, sign language translation (SLT) models still heavily rely on gloss annotations in gloss-based SLT or text annotations in gloss-free SLT (GFSLT) during pretraining, aiming to ensure that the backbo
Modern Large Language Models (LLMs) face fundamental challenges in processing long text sequences due to the quadratic complexity of attention mechanisms. Key-Value (KV) cache retention strategies mitigate this issue by selectively preserving salient KV pairs for autoregressive generation. However,…
Sign language production aims to generate sign sequences from spoken language, where the generation of sign pose sequences from text is often treated as a significant task. However, due to the differences in grammatical rules and modalities between sign language pose sequences and spoken language te
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models built upon Chain-of-Thought (CoT) have achieved remarkable success in advancing general-purpose robotic agents, owing to its significant perceptual comprehension. Recently, since text-only CoT struggles to adequately capture scene details in complex spatial enviro
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated remarkable effectiveness across various tasks but are often hindered by their high computational overhead. GNN-to-MLP distillation provides a promising remedy by transferring knowledge from complex GNNs to lightweight MLPs. However, existing methods lar
Graph transfer learning endeavors to develop a Graph Neural Network (GNN) model in a fully-labeled source domain, with the intention of deploying it on a target domain that has limited labeled data for inference. We reveal that prevalent graph transfer learning methods are susceptible to the homophi…
Recent advances in sign language research have benefited from CNN-based backbones, which are primarily transferred from traditional computer vision tasks (\eg object detection, image recognition). However, these CNN-based backbones usually excel at extracting features like contours and texture, but…
Domain generalization person re-identification (DG-ReID) aims to train models on source domains and generalize to unseen target domains.While patch-based Vision Transformers have achieved success in capturing fine-grained visual features, they often overlook global semantic structure and suffer from
Probabilistic time series forecasting has attracted an increasing attention in machine learning community for its potential applications in the fields of renewable energy, traffic management, healthcare, etc. Previous research mainly focused on extracting long-range dependencies for point-wise predi
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have proven effective and typically benefit from pre-training on accessible graphs to enhance performance on tasks with limited labeled data. However, existing GNNs are constrained by the ``one-domain-one-model'' limitation, which restricts their effectiveness across div…
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have emerged as a powerful tool for modeling graph-structured data, exhibiting remarkable potential in applications such as social networks, recommendation systems, and molecular structures. However, the conventional GNNs perform node-level feature aggregation from neigh…
Despite the recent success of sign language research the widely adopted CNN-based backbones are mainly migrated from other computer vision tasks in which the contours and texture of objects are crucial for identifying objects. They usually treat sign frames as grids and may fail to capture effecti…
There are two problems that widely exist in current end-to-end sign language processing architecture. One is the CTC spike phenomenon which weakens the visual representational ability in Continuous Sign Language Recognition (CSLR). The other one is the exposure bias problem which leads to the accumu…
Federated learning has emerged as a promising distributed machine learning paradigm to preserve data privacy. One of the fundamental challenges of federated learning is that data samples across clients are usually not independent and identically distributed (non-IID), leading to slow convergence and…
Graph meta learning aims to learn historical knowledge from training graph neural networks (GNNs) models and adapt it to downstream learning tasks in a target graph, which has drawn increasing attention due to its ability of knowledge transfer and fast adaptation. While existing graph meta learning…
Despite being widely deployed in safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving and health care, deep neural networks (DNNs) still suffer from non-negligible reliability issues. Numerous works had reported that DNNs were vulnerable to either natural environmental noises or man-made adversar…
