NatADiff: Adversarial Boundary Guidance for Natural Adversarial Diffusion

ICLR 2026poster

Adversarial samples exploit irregularities in the manifold "learned" by deep learning models to cause misclassifications. The study of these adversarial samples provides insight into the features a model uses to classify inputs, which can be leveraged to improve robustness against future attacks. Ho…

PODiff: Latent Diffusion in Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Space for Scientific Super-Resolution

ICML 2026poster

Probabilistic super-resolution of high-dimensional spatial fields using diffusion models is often computationally prohibitive due to the cost of operating directly in pixel space. We propose PODiff, a structured conditional generative framework that performs diffusion in a fixed, variance-ordered Pr…

Automated State Estimation for Summarizing the Dynamics of Complex Urban Systems Using Representation Learning

AAAI 2024technical

Complex urban systems can be difficult to monitor, diagnose and manage because the complete states of such systems are only partially observable with sensors. State estimation techniques can be used to determine the underlying dynamic behavior of such complex systems with their highly non-linear pro…

MaintIE: A Fine-Grained Annotation Schema and Benchmark for Information Extraction from Maintenance Short Texts

COLING 2024main

Maintenance short texts (MST), derived from maintenance work order records, encapsulate crucial information in a concise yet information-rich format. These user-generated technical texts provide critical insights into the state and maintenance activities of machines, infrastructure, and other engine…

SConE: Simplified Cone Embeddings with Symbolic Operators for Complex Logical Queries

ACL 2023findings

Geometric representation of query embeddings (using points, particles, rectangles and cones) can effectively achieve the task of answering complex logical queries expressed in first-order logic (FOL) form over knowledge graphs, allowing intuitive encodings. However, current geometric-based methods d…

LexiClean: An annotation tool for rapid multi-task lexical normalisation

EMNLP 2021system demonstrations

NLP systems are often challenged by difficulties arising from noisy, non-standard, and domain specific corpora. The task of lexical normalisation aims to standardise such corpora, but currently lacks suitable tools to acquire high-quality annotated data to support deep learning based approaches. In…
