Ambiguity is pervasive in language, yet we resolve it effortlessly and unconsciously, often aided by context and part-of-speech (POS) cues. This study investigates how context similarity and POS influence homonym disambiguation in humans and large language models (LLMs). To enable comparable analyse
Natural language generation is an important task in natural language processing and has been applied in various scenarios. Most state-of-the-art generation models, however, are usually slow at inference time mainly due to the sequential dependencies of autoregressive generation and the use of more a…
Autonomous driving systems rely on LiDAR-based 3D object detection to identify obstacles. Recent studies have shown that detectors are susceptible to disappearing attacks, leading to missed detections and potential vehicle collisions. However, improving the adversarial robustness of 3D object detect…
Homonymy can easily raise lexical ambiguity due to the misunderstanding of its multiple senses. Correct recognition of homonym sense greatly relies on its surrounding context. This ambiguous nature makes homonyms an appropriate testbed for examining the contextualization capability of pre-trained (P…
Microphone array techniques are widely used in sound source localization and smart city acoustic-based traffic monitoring, but these applications face significant challenges due to the scarcity of labeled real-world traffic audio data and the complexity and diversity of application scenarios. The DC…
For sentiment analysis (SA) issue, most current SA models focus on Explicit Sentiment Analysis (ESA), with less attention to Implicit Sentiment Analysis (ISA). Recent ISA models cannot fully consider prior knowledge in Pre-trained Language Model (PLM) for this knowledge intensive task, even introduc…
We introduce UniGraspTransformer, a universal Transformer-based network for dexterous robotic grasping that simplifies training while enhancing scalability and performance. Unlike prior methods such as UniDexGrasp++, which require complex, multi-step training pipelines, UniGraspTransformer follows a…
The studies of human clothing for digital avatars have predominantly relied on synthetic datasets. While easy to collect synthetic data often fall short in realism and fail to capture authentic clothing dynamics. Addressing this gap we introduce 4D-DRESS the first real-world 4D dataset advancing hum…
To solve the cold-start issue that cold items have no historical interactions to obtain collaborative feature as their representation, existing methods often represent them totally based on content feature obtained from inherent content (i.e., image, video and attributes). However, these methods wil…
Existing cold-start recommendation methods often adopt item-level alignment strategies to align the content feature and the collaborative feature of warm items for model training, however, cold items in the test stage have no historical interactions with users to obtain the collaborative feature. Th…
Precise reconstruction and manipulation of the crumpled cloths is challenging due to the high dimensionality of cloth models, as well as the limited observation at self-occluded regions. We leverage the recent progress in the field of single-view reconstruction to template-based reconstruct the crum…
Generalized Nash games differ from strategic form games by allowing the strategy set available for each player to depend on the strategies selected by the other players. The strong dependence of the strategies of the players make these generalized games harder to analyze. While convex generalized ga…
The transformer based model (e.g., FusingTF) has been employed recently for Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal classification. However, the high-dimensional embedding obtained via 1-D convolution and positional encoding can lead to the loss of the signal’s own temporal information and a large amount of…
The goal of confidence-set learning in the binary classification setting is to construct two sets, each with a specific probability guarantee to cover a class. An observation outside the overlap of the two sets is deemed to be from one of the two classes, while the overlap is an ambiguity region whi…
