Solving energy-saving distributed heterogeneous flexible job shop scheduling problem (ES-DHFJSP) aims to enhance industrial production efficiency while minimizing energy consumption. State-of-the-art co-evolutionary algorithms have emerged as effective approaches for addressing ES-DHFJSP. However, e
Diffusion-based image compression has recently shown outstanding perceptual fidelity, yet its practicality is hindered by prohibitive sampling overhead and high memory usage.Most existing diffusion codecs employ UNet architectures, where hierarchical downsampling forces diffusion to operate in shall
Efficient branching policies are essential for accelerating Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) solvers. Their design has long relied on hand-crafted heuristics, and now machine learning has emerged as a promising paradigm to automate this process. However, existing learning-based methods are of…
Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have achieved state-of-the-art generative performance, yet their iterative denoising process remains computationally expensive and energy-intensive. Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) offer a promising neuromorphic alternative for energy efficiency; however, the non-differe…
Flexible instruction-guided 6-DoF grasping is a significant yet challenging task for real-world robotic systems. Existing methods utilize the contextual understanding capabilities of the large language models (LLMs) to establish mappings between expressions and targets, allowing robots to comprehend…
When planning for autonomous driving, it is crucial to consider essential traffic elements such as lanes, intersections, traffic regulations, and dynamic agents. However, they are often overlooked by the traditional end-to-end planning methods, likely leading to inefficiencies and non-compliance wit
Visual Prompt Learning (VPL) has emerged as a powerful strategy for harnessing the capabilities of large-scale pre-trained models (PTMs) to tackle specific downstream tasks. However, the opaque nature of PTMs in many real-world applications has led to a growing interest in gradient-free approaches w…
The fusion of LiDARs and cameras has been increasingly adopted in autonomous driving for perception tasks. The performance of such fusion-based algorithms largely depends on the accuracy of sensor calibration, which is challenging due to the difficulty of identifying common features across different…
In multimodal perception systems, achieving precise extrinsic calibration between LiDAR and camera is of critical importance. However, the pre-calibrated extrinsic parameters may gradually drift during operation, leading to a decrease in the accuracy of the perception system. It is challenging to ad
Exploration strategy plays an important role in reinforcement learning, especially in sparse-reward tasks. In cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning~(MARL), designing a suitable exploration strategy is much more challenging due to the large state space and the complex interaction among agent…
