Strategic classification studies the interaction between decision models and agents who strategically manipulate their features for favorable outcomes. Existing SC frameworks typically rely on the idealized assumption that agents are strictly rational. However, evidence from behavioral economics and…
Reasoning segmentation is an emerging vision-language task that requires reasoning over intricate text queries to precisely segment objects. However, existing methods typically suffer from overthinking, generating verbose reasoning chains that interfere with object localization in multimodal large l…
Detecting hidden confounding is crucial for reliable causal analysis from observational data, directly determining which downstream causal inference method to be deployed. Inspired by the theory of higher-order regression, recent sample-efficient hypothesis testing strategies overcome the restrictiv
Generating realistic and coordinated 3D human motion for multiple individuals within complex environments remains a significant challenge. Existing text-to-motion methods are often ``blind
Vehicle trajectory prediction is critical for safe and efficient autonomous driving. However, its generalization and scalability are hindered by heavy reliance on real-time, online priors. To break this bottleneck, we introduce RAG-TP, a framework reframing the problem from relying on uncertain onli
Amortized causal inference via Prior-data Fitted Networks (PFNs) has emerged as a promising paradigm, enabling zero-shot estimation of causal effects without the need for dataset-specific model tuning. However, the principled effectiveness of unified pre-training across general interventional regime…
Tabular foundation models via pretrained prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) achieve remarkable generalization performance on arbitrary testing tabular data, when sample distributions are independent of the deployed classifiers, i.e., a non-strategic regime. In a variety of real-world scenarios, howev…
Learning optimal policies in multi-agent cooperative settings with visual observations is significant and challenging. Agents must first perform state representation learning for their image observations and then learn policies in the abstracted state space. Aiming at this problem, we propose a nove…
Behavior Trees (BTs) are increasingly becoming a popular control structure in robotics due to their modularity, reactivity, and robustness. In terms of BT generation methods, BT planning shows promise for generating reliable BTs. However, the scalability of BT planning is often constrained by prolon
Recently, substantial progress has been achieved in leveraging deep learning models for tabular data learning. However, despite significant advancements, the predominant focus of these endeavors has been on augmenting the performance of contemporary deep learning models. Consequently, the interpreta…
Multi-layer networks (MLN) effectively model interactions across layers, and the network disintegration (ND) problem yields significant importance in the analysis of MLN. Unfortunately, previous advances in ND for single-layer networks exhibits inefficiency and lack of scalability when extended to M…
Infrared-visible image fusion (IVF) and infrared-to-visible image translation (I2V) are two closely related tasks in multimodal image processing, both aimed at combining or transforming infrared and visible modalities to enhance image information content. Existing methods typically focus on either f…
This paper studies a case of the multi-robot task allocation (MRTA) problem, where each unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is endowed with multiple but limited resources. Completing each task necessitates UAVs to combine different resources through coalition formation, which will incur various costs incl…
Prompt tuning provides a low-cost way of adapting vision-language models (VLMs) for various downstream vision tasks without requiring updating the huge pre-trained parameters. Dispensing with the conventional manual crafting of prompts, the recent prompt tuning method of Context Optimization (CoOp)…
In Electronic Support Measure (ESM) systems, the recognition of radar emitters stands as a pivotal yet intricate task. The complex electromagnetic environments, however, often hinders the collection of clean radar signal data, and results in data with different noise levels. Consequently, formulatin…
Self-supervised monocular depth estimation has attracted extensive attention in recent years. Lightweight depth estimation methods are crucial for resource-constrained edge devices. However, existing lightweight methods often encounter the challenge of limited representation capacity and increased c
Multiple preferences between robots and tasks have been largely overlooked in previous research on Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) problems. In this paper, we propose a preference-driven approach based on hedonic game to address the task allocation problem of muti-robot systems in emergency rescu…
Dubins coverage has been extensively researched to address the coverage path planning (CPP) problem of a known environment for the curvature-constrained robot. However, its fixed-speed assumption prevents the robot from accelerating to reduce the time and limits its flexibility to avoid obstacles. T…

In this letter, we introduce PolarMesh as a star-convex approximation of a 3D object based on spherical projection and can be applied to monocular object pose and shape estimation. The proposed PolarMesh can be stored in a discrete 2D map that allows a trivial conversion between it and the object su
Learning policies from raw, pixel images are quite important for the real-world application of deep reinforcement learning (RL). Standard model-free RL algorithms focus on single-view settings and unify the representation learning and policy learning into an end-to-end training process. However, suc…
Precise annotation of 6-D poses in real data is intricate and time-consuming, however, an essential requirement to train pose estimation pipelines. We propose a way for scalable, end-to-end 6-D pose regression with weak supervision to avoid this problem. Our method requires neither 3-D models nor 6-
