Categorical attributes with qualitative values are ubiquitous in cluster analysis of real datasets. Unlike the Euclidean distance of numerical attributes, the categorical attributes lack well-defined relationships of their possible values (also called categories interchangeably), which hampers the e
Explainable recommendation is crucial for building user trust, yet producing natural-language rationales that faithfully reflect the underlying decision process remains challenging. Most LLM-based explainable recommenders incorporate collaborative signals through shallow prompting or lightweight ada
Vision-language models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable generalization across diverse tasks by leveraging large-scale image-text pretraining. However, their performance is notoriously unstable under variations in natural language prompts, posing a considerable challenge for reliable real-world de…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have demonstrated exceptional performance across a variety of applications, yet they require substantial computing and power resources. In contrast, Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) offer significant potential for energy-efficient computing due to their binary, event-driven…
Temporal graph link prediction aims to predict future interactions between nodes in a graph based on their historical interactions, which are encoded in node embeddings. We observe that heterogeneity naturally appears in temporal interactions, e.g., a few node pairs can make most interaction events,…
We propose a novel receiver design for distributed MIMO systems that accounts for multiple carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) and multiple timing offsets (TOs). The proposed structure utilizes a bank of pulse matched filters (one per effective CFO) at each receive antenna, followed by an information s…
