Distillation Dynamics: Towards Understanding Feature-Based Distillation in Vision Transformers

AAAI 2026technical

While feature-based knowledge distillation has proven highly effective for compressing CNNs, these techniques unexpectedly fail when applied to Vision Transformers (ViTs), often performing worse than simple logit-based distillation. We provide the first comprehensive analysis of this phenomenon thro

EEG Agent: A Unified Framework for Automated EEG Analysis Using Large Language Models

AAAI 2026technical

Scalable and generalizable analysis of brain activity is essential for advancing both clinical diagnostics and cognitive research. Electroencephalography (EEG), a non-invasive modality with high temporal resolution, has been widely used for brain states analysis. However, most exiting EEG models are

EMOD: A Unified EEG Emotion Representation Framework Leveraging V-A Guided Contrastive Learning

AAAI 2026technical

Emotion recognition from EEG signals is essential for affective computing and has been widely explored using deep learning. While recent deep learning approaches have achieved strong performance on single EEG emotion datasets, their generalization across datasets remains limited due to the heterogen

FairJudge : An Adaptive, Debiased, and Consistent LLM-as-a-Judge

ICML 2026poster

Existing LLM-as-a-Judge systems suffer from three fundamental limitations: \textbf{limited adaptivity} to task and domain-specific evaluation criteria, \textbf{systematic biases} driven by non-semantic cues such as position, length, format, and model provenance, and \textbf{evaluation inconsistency}…

From Per-Image Low-Rank to Encoding Mismatch: Rethinking Feature Distillation in Vision Transformers

ICML 2026poster

Feature-map knowledge distillation (KD) transfers internal representations well between comparably sized Vision Transformers (ViTs), but it often fails in compression. We revisit this failure and uncover a paradox. Sample-wise SVD shows that each image is highly compressible, which seems to suggest …

Personalized Sleep Staging Leveraging Source-free Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

AAAI 2025technical

Sleep staging is important for monitoring sleep quality and diagnosing sleep-related disorders. Recently, numerous deep learning-based models have been proposed for automatic sleep staging using polysomnography recordings. Most of them are trained and tested on the same labeled datasets which result…

Generalizable Sleep Staging via Multi-Level Domain Alignment

AAAI 2024technical

Automatic sleep staging is essential for sleep assessment and disorder diagnosis. Most existing methods depend on one specific dataset and are limited to be generalized to other unseen datasets, for which the training data and testing data are from the same dataset. In this paper, we introduce domai…
