RADAR: Benchmarking Language Models on Imperfect Tabular Data

NeurIPS 2025poster

Language models (LMs) are increasingly being deployed to perform autonomous data analyses. However, their data awareness—the ability to recognize, reason over, and appropriately handle data artifacts such as missing values, outliers, and logical inconsistencies—remains underexplored. These artifacts…

Scaling Wearable Foundation Models

ICLR 2025poster

Wearable sensors have become ubiquitous thanks to a variety of health tracking features. The resulting continuous and longitudinal measurements from everyday life generate large volumes of data. However, making sense of these observations for scientific and actionable insights is non-trivial. Inspir…

SensorLM: Learning the Language of Wearable Sensors

NeurIPS 2025poster

We present SensorLM, a family of sensor-language foundation models that enable wearable sensor data understanding with natural language. Despite its pervasive nature, aligning and interpreting sensor data with language remains challenging due to the lack of paired, richly annotated sensor-text descr…

Substance over Style: Evaluating Proactive Conversational Coaching Agents

ACL 2025long

While NLP research has made strides in conversational tasks, many approaches focus on single-turn responses with well-defined objectives or evaluation criteria. In contrast, coaching presents unique challenges with initially undefined goals that evolve through multi-turn interactions, subjective eva…

rPPG-Toolbox: Deep Remote PPG Toolbox

NeurIPS 2023poster

Camera-based physiological measurement is a fast growing field of computer vision. Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) utilizes imaging devices (e.g., cameras) to measure the peripheral blood volume pulse (BVP) via photoplethysmography, and enables cardiac measurement via webcams and smartphones. How…

GLOBEM Dataset: Multi-Year Datasets for Longitudinal Human Behavior Modeling Generalization

NeurIPS 2022accept

Recent research has demonstrated the capability of behavior signals captured by smartphones and wearables for longitudinal behavior modeling. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive public dataset that serves as an open testbed for fair comparison among algorithms. Moreover, prior studies mainly…

Reliable and Trustworthy Machine Learning for Health Using Dataset Shift Detection

NeurIPS 2021poster

Unpredictable ML model behavior on unseen data, especially in the health domain, raises serious concerns about its safety as repercussions for mistakes can be fatal. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of using state-of-the-art out-of-distribution detectors for reliable and trustworthy diagnos…

Multi-Task Temporal Shift Attention Networks for On-Device Contactless Vitals Measurement

NeurIPS 2020oral

Telehealth and remote health monitoring have become increasingly important during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and it is widely expected that this will have a lasting impact on healthcare practices. These tools can help reduce the risk of exposing patients and medical staff to infection, make healthcare…

Heterogeneous Bitwidth Binarization in Convolutional Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2018poster

Recent work has shown that fast, compact low-bitwidth neural networks can be surprisingly accurate. These networks use homogeneous binarization: all parameters in each layer or (more commonly) the whole model have the same low bitwidth (e.g., 2 bits). However, modern hardware allows efficient design…
