SN-LiDAR: Semantic Neural Fields for Novel Space-time View LiDAR Synthesis

IROS 2025

Recent research has begun exploring novel view synthesis (NVS) for LiDAR point clouds, aiming to generate realistic LiDAR scans from unseen viewpoints. However, most existing approaches do not reconstruct semantic labels, which are crucial for many downstream applications such as autonomous driving

UniCO: On Unified Combinatorial Optimization via Problem Reduction to Matrix-Encoded General TSP

ICLR 2025poster

Various neural solvers have been devised for combinatorial optimization (CO), which are often tailored for specific problem types, e.g., TSP, CVRP and SAT, etc. Yet, it remains an open question how to achieve universality regarding problem representing and learning with a general framework. This pap…

Invertible Mosaic Image Hiding Network for Very Large Capacity Image Steganography

ICASSP 2024accepted

The existing image steganography methods either sequentially conceal secret images or conceal a concatenation of multiple images. In such ways, the interference of information among multiple images will become increasingly severe when the number of secret images becomes larger, thus restrict the dev…

PLGSLAM: Progressive Neural Scene Represenation with Local to Global Bundle Adjustment

CVPR 2024poster

Neural implicit scene representations have recently shown encouraging results in dense visual SLAM. However existing methods produce low-quality scene reconstruction and low-accuracy localization performance when scaling up to large indoor scenes and long sequences. These limitations are mainly due…

SFPNet: Sparse Focal Point Network for Semantic Segmentation on General LiDAR Point Clouds

ECCV 2024poster

"Although LiDAR semantic segmentation advances rapidly, state-of-the-art methods often incorporate specifically designed inductive bias derived from benchmarks originating from mechanical spinning LiDAR. This can limit model generalizability to other kinds of LiDAR technologies and make hyperparamet…

VLMPC: Vision-Language Model Predictive Control for Robotic Manipulation

RSS 2024poster

Although Model Predictive Control (MPC) can effectively predict the future states of a system and thus is widely used in robotic manipulation tasks, it does not have the capability of environmental perception, leading to the failure in some complex scenarios. To address this issue, we introduce Visi…

DIFFormer: Scalable (Graph) Transformers Induced by Energy Constrained Diffusion

ICLR 2023top-25%

Real-world data generation often involves complex inter-dependencies among instances, violating the IID-data hypothesis of standard learning paradigms and posing a challenge for uncovering the geometric structures for learning desired instance representations. To this end, we introduce an energy con…

Imperceptible Adversarial Attack via Invertible Neural Networks

AAAI 2023technical

Adding perturbations via utilizing auxiliary gradient information or discarding existing details of the benign images are two common approaches for generating adversarial examples. Though visual imperceptibility is the desired property of adversarial examples, conventional adversarial attacks still…

SGFormer: Simplifying and Empowering Transformers for Large-Graph Representations

NeurIPS 2023poster

Learning representations on large-sized graphs is a long-standing challenge due to the inter-dependence nature involved in massive data points. Transformers, as an emerging class of foundation encoders for graph-structured data, have shown promising performance on small graphs due to its global atte…

NodeFormer: A Scalable Graph Structure Learning Transformer for Node Classification

NeurIPS 2022accept

Graph neural networks have been extensively studied for learning with inter-connected data. Despite this, recent evidence has revealed GNNs' deficiencies related to over-squashing, heterophily, handling long-range dependencies, edge incompleteness and particularly, the absence of graphs altogether.…
