Class-incremental learning (CIL) requires models to continuously acquire new knowledge while avoiding catastrophic forgetting. While exemplar replay is effective, it raises concerns regarding privacy and storage. Thus, generative replay has emerged as a viable alternative, synthesizing old data usin…
Reconstructing unified continuous dynamics from sparse, non-contiguous, and unpaired point cloud snapshots remains a fundamental challenge in spatiotemporal analysis for computer vision and developmental biology. Existing methods, including scene flow and Optimal Transport-based approaches, are limi…
Alerts generated by Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are often numerous and scattered, requiring significant effort from security analysts to manage, which severely slows response times. While recent alert correlation graph methods can effectively reduce alert volume, these graphs are often too co
Dynamic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) allows large language models (LLMs) to fetch external knowledge on demand, offering greater adaptability than static RAG. A central challenge in this setting lies in determining the optimal timing for retrieval. Existing methods often trigger retrieval ba
We introduce ODE-GS, a novel approach that integrates 3D Gaussian Splatting with latent neural ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to enable future extrapolation of dynamic 3D scenes. Unlike existing dynamic scene reconstruction methods, which rely on time-conditioned deformation networks and are…
Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) has proven effective in complex reasoning tasks like math word problems and code generation. However, when applied to Text-to-SQL datasets, it often fails to improve performance and can even degrade it. Our investigation reveals the root cause: unlike math and co…
The constrained Markov decision process (CMDP) framework emerges as an important reinforcement learning approach for imposing safety or other critical objectives while maximizing cumulative reward. However, the current understanding of how to learn efficiently in a CMDP environment with a potentiall…
Value iteration (VI) is a foundational dynamic programming method, important for learning and planning in optimal control and reinforcement learning. VI proceeds in batches, where the update to the value of each state must be completed before the next batch of updates can begin. Completing a singl…
The ability to simultaneously distinguish objects, materials, and their associated physical properties is one fundamental function of the sense of touch. Recent advances in the development of tactile sensors and machine learning techniques allow more accurate and complex modelling of robotic tactile…
The wide spread of rumors on social media has caused tremendous effects in both the online and offline world. In addition to text information, recent detection methods began to exploit the graph structure in the propagation network. However, without a rigorous design, rumors may evade such graph mod…
Generative flows are promising tractable models for density modeling that define probabilistic distributions with invertible transformations. However, tractability imposes architectural constraints on generative flows. In this work, we study a previously overlooked constraint that all the intermedia…
Deep learning on graph structures has shown exciting results in various applications. However, few attentions have been paid to the robustness of such models, in contrast to numerous research work for image or text adversarial attack and defense. In this paper, we focus on the adversarial attacks th…
We consider the semi-supervised clustering problem where crowdsourcing provides noisy information about the pairwise comparisons on a small subset of data, i.e., whether a sample pair is in the same cluster. We propose a new approach that includes a deep generative model (DGM) to characterize low-le…
Learning-from-crowds aims to design proper aggregation strategies to infer the unknown true labels from the noisy labels provided by ordinary web workers. This paper presents max-margin majority voting (M^3V) to improve the discriminative ability of majority voting and further presents a Bayesian ge…
