Images are typically sampled on a uniform grid,despite their non-uniform information distribution—some regions are rich in content while others are not. The mismatch leads to inefficient computation allocation in deep learning models. To address this, recent studies have proposed predictive downsamp
In deep reinforcement learning (DRL), the presence of dormant neurons leads to a significant reduction in network capacity, which results in sub-optimal performance and limited sample efficiency. Existing training techniques, especially those relying on periodic resetting (PR), exacerbate this issue
Temporal knowledge graph (TKG) reasoning has become a hot topic due to its great value in many practical tasks. The key to TKG reasoning is modeling the structural information and evolutional patterns of the TKGs. While great efforts have been devoted to TKG reasoning, the structural and evolutional…
Online continual learning (OCL) is a strict setting of continual learning (CL), where the OCL agent faces a never-ending data stream and encounters each new sample only once. An OCL agent suffers more serious catastrophic forgetting (i.e., forgetting previous knowledge of old classes) than a CL agen…
Getting dense, uniform, time-series point cloud data is critical for effective rendering. However, due to the limited computational power of edge devices, existing methods cannot achieve real-time results, which affects the visual quality of the consumer experience. To effectively address this issue…
Detecting fake news in short videos is crucial for combating misinformation. Existing methods utilize topic modeling and co-attention mechanism, overlooking the modality heterogeneity and resulting in suboptimal performance. To address this issue, we introduce Text-Guided Fine-grained Counterfactual…
Multi-goal conversational recommender system (MG-CRS) which is more in line with realistic scenarios has attracted a lot of attention. MG-CRS can dynamically capture the demands of users in conversation, continuously engage their interests, and make recommendations. The key of accomplishing these ta…
Catastrophic forgetting has become an intractable problem in the continual learning setting because previous data is not accessible when training. To mitigate this problem, memory-based continual learning methods replay previous data from a fixed-size memory buffer. Reservoir sampling, which can sam…
Depression detection is a challenging and crucial task in psychological illness diagnosis. Utilizing online user posts to predict whether a user suffers from depression seems an effective and promising direction. However, existing methods suffer from either poor interpretability brought by the black…
Few-shot and zero-shot text classification aim to recognize samples from novel classes with limited labeled samples or no labeled samples at all. While prevailing methods have shown promising performance via transferring knowledge from seen classes to unseen classes, they are still limited by (1) In…
Temporal knowledge graph completion is a critical task within the knowledge graph domain. Existing approaches encompass deep neural network-based methods for temporal knowledge graph embedding and rule-based logical symbolic reasoning. However, the former may not adequately account for structural de…
Short video fake news detection is crucial for combating the spread of misinformation. Current detection methods tend to aggregate features from individual modalities into multimodal features, overlooking the implicit opinions and the evolving nature of opinions across modalities. In this paper, we…
Video question answering involves understanding video content to generate accurate answers to questions. Recent studies have successfully modeled video features and achieved diverse multimodal interaction, yielding impressive outcomes. However, they have overlooked the fact that the video contains r…
Decision-based methods have shown to be effective in black-box adversarial attacks, as they can obtain satisfactory performance and only require to access the final model prediction. Gradient estimation is a critical step in black-box adversarial attacks, as it will directly affect the query efficie…
Distribution estimation has been demonstrated as one of the most effective approaches in dealing with few-shot image classification, as the low-level patterns and underlying representations can be easily transferred across different tasks in computer vision domain. However, directly applying this ap…
Black-box hard-label adversarial attack on text is a practical and challenging task, as the text data space is inherently discrete and non-differentiable, and only the predicted label is accessible. Research on this problem is still in the embryonic stage and only a few methods are available. Nevert…
Emotion recognition in conversation (ERC) enables a deeper understanding of emotion for each utterance within a conversation. Recent progress on ERC has proved that using Graph Neural Networks (GNN) to model conversational context is effective for identifying emotions. However, existing GNN-based ap…
Hard-label textual adversarial attack is a challenging task, as only the predicted label information is available, and the text space is discrete and non-differentiable. Relevant research work is still in fancy and just a handful of methods are proposed. However, existing methods suffer from either…
A class-incremental learning agent learns online with a neverending stream of data in one training epoch. In this setting, the agent suffers from severe catastrophic forgetting due to the absence of data from the observed classes after learning data from new classes. Besides, the prototypes rapidly…
Intent classification (IC) and slot filling (SF) are critical building blocks in task-oriented dialogue systems. These two tasks are closely-related and can flourish each other. Since only a few utterances can be utilized for identifying fast-emerging new intents and slots, data scarcity issue often…
Existing deep graph clustering methods usually rely on neural language models to learn graph embeddings. However, these methods either ignore node feature information or fail to learn cluster-oriented graph embeddings. In this paper, we propose a novel deep graph clustering framework to tackle these…
Sufficient real information in generator is a critical point for the generation ability of GAN. However, GAN and its variants suffer from lack of this point, resulting in brittle training processes. In this paper, we propose a novel variant of GAN, Posterior Promoted GAN (P2GAN), which promotes gene…
