A Durable Machine Unlearning Framework to Nullify Recall of Sensitive Data on Incremental Training

IJCAI 2026

The advancement of data privacy regulations has spurred the development of Machine Unlearning (MU), which is designed to remove the influence of sensitive data from a trained model and results in an unlearned model (ULM). Despite rapid progress in MU techniques, their vulnerabilities remain underexp

Inducing Overthink: Hierarchical Genetic Algorithm-based DoS Attack on Black-Box Reasoning Models

ICML 2026poster

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) are increasingly integrated into systems requiring reliable multi-step inference, yet this growing dependence exposes new vulnerabilities related to computational availability. In particular, LRMs exhibit a tendency to “overthink’’—producing excessively long and redunda…

HyperMixer: Specializable Hypergraph Channel Mixing for Long-term Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

AAAI 2025technical

Long-term Multivariate Time Series (LMTS) forecasting aims to predict extended future trends based on channel-interrelated historical data. Considering the elusive channel correlations, most existing methods compromise by treating channels as independent or tentatively modeling pairwise channel int…

Pseudo-Simulation for Autonomous Driving

CoRL 2025poster

Existing evaluation paradigms for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) face critical limitations. Real-world evaluation is often challenging due to safety concerns and a lack of reproducibility, whereas closed-loop simulation can face insufficient realism or high computational costs. Open-loop evaluation, whil…

MESA: Boost Ensemble Imbalanced Learning with MEta-SAmpler

NeurIPS 2020poster

Imbalanced learning (IL), i.e., learning unbiased models from class-imbalanced data, is a challenging problem. Typical IL methods including resampling and reweighting were designed based on some heuristic assumptions. They often suffer from unstable performance, poor applicability, and high computat…

BRITS: Bidirectional Recurrent Imputation for Time Series

NeurIPS 2018poster

Time series are widely used as signals in many classification/regression tasks. It is ubiquitous that time series contains many missing values. Given multiple correlated time series data, how to fill in missing values and to predict their class labels? Existing imputation methods often impose strong…
