Understanding multimodal metaphors represents a crucial pathway for machines to comprehend human cognition. However, current research remains constrained by superficial dataset annotations, insufficient systematic evaluation of large language models, and fragmented task frameworks. To bridge these g
Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit strong reasoning capabilities and are widely applied in event forecasting. However, studies have demonstrated that LLMs exhibit human-like cognitive biases, systematic patterns of deviation from rationality in decision-making. To explore the cognitive biases in e
Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a promising approach for distributed machine learning, enabling clients to collaboratively train models without sharing their data. However, existing FL methods continue to face challenges when dealing with non-IID data, particularly under conditions of extreme…
Although large language models have significantly advanced natural language generation, their potential in low-resource machine translation has not yet been fully explored, especially for languages that translation models have not been trained on. In this study, we provide a detailed demonstration o…
Night unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tracking is impeded by the challenges of poor illumination, with previous daylight-optimized methods demonstrating suboptimal performance in low-light conditions, limiting the utility of UAV applications. To this end, we propose an efficient mamba-based tracker, l…
Existing cross-network node classification methods are mainly proposed for closed-set setting, where the source network and the target network share exactly the same label space. Such a setting is restricted in real-world applications, since the target network might contain additional classes that a…
Complex events generally exhibit unforeseen, multifaceted, and multi-step developments, and cannot be well handled by existing closed-ended event forecasting methods, which are constrained by a limited answer space. In order to accelerate the research on complex event forecasting, we introduce OpenF…
Cooperative perception (CP) is essential to enhance the efficiency and safety of future transportation systems, requiring extensive data sharing among vehicles on the road, which raises significant privacy concerns. Federated learning offers a promising solution by enabling data privacy-preserving c
Underwater Object Tracking (UOT) is essential for identifying and tracking submerged objects in underwater videos, but existing datasets are limited in scale, diversity of target categories and scenarios covered, impeding the development of advanced tracking algorithms. To bridge this gap, we take t…
Few-shot slot tagging is an important task in dialogue systems and attracts much attention of researchers. Most previous few-shot slot tagging methods utilize meta-learning procedure for training and strive to construct a large number of different meta tasks to simulate the testing situation of insu…
There are a large number of candidate values shared among slots in multi-domain dialogue state tracking (DST). The existing span prediction-based DST methods generally adopt slot-independent value extraction architecture, which ignore the value sharing. Besides, the slot-independent design leads to…
Synthesizing high-fidelity talking head videos by fitting input audio sequences is a highly anticipated technique in many applications, such as digital humans, virtual video conferences, and human-computer interaction. Popular GAN-based methods aim to align speech audio with lip motions and head pos…
Recently, the community has made tremendous progress in developing effective methods for point cloud video understanding that learn from massive amounts of labeled data. However, annotating point cloud videos is usually notoriously expensive. Moreover, training via one or only a few traditional task…
Recent years, graph contrastive learning (GCL), which aims to learn representations from unlabeled graphs, has made great progress. However, the existing GCL methods mostly adopt human-designed graph augmentations, which are sensitive to various graph datasets. In addition, the contrastive losses or…
Self-supervised learning can extract representations of good quality from solely unlabeled data, which is appealing for point cloud videos due to their high labelling cost. In this paper, we propose a contrastive mask prediction (PointCMP) framework for self-supervised learning on point cloud videos…
Few-shot Intent Detection (FSID) is a challenging task in dialogue systems due to the scarcity of available annotated utterances. Although existing few-shot learning approaches have made remarkable progress, they fall short in adapting to the Generalized Few-shot Intent Detection (GFSID) task where…
A multi-turn dialogue is composed of multiple utterances from two or more different speaker roles. Thus utterance- and speaker-aware clues are supposed to be well captured in models. However, in the existing retrieval-based multi-turn dialogue modeling, the pre-trained language models (PrLMs) as enc…
Temporal language grounding in videos aims to localize the temporal span relevant to the given query sentence. Previous methods treat it either as a boundary regression task or a span extraction task. This paper will formulate temporal language grounding into video reading comprehension and propose…
For natural language understanding tasks, either machine reading comprehension or natural language inference, both semantics-aware and inference are favorable features of the concerned modeling for better understanding performance. Thus we propose a Semantics-Aware Inferential Network (SAIN) to meet…
We propose a straightforward method that simultaneously reconstructs the 3D facial structure and provides dense alignment. To achieve this, we design a 2D representation called UV position map which records the 3D shape of a complete face in UV space, then train a simple Convolutional Neural Network…
Regression based facial landmark detection methods usually learns a series of regression functions to update the landmark positions from an initial estimation. Most of existing approaches focus on learning effective mapping functions with robust image features to improve performance. The approach to…
