Concerns over dataset misuse in deep learning have highlighted the need for effective auditing. Unlike existing intrusive methods that require dataset modifications, which risk model performance and security, we present DataGuard, a non-intrusive framework for quantitative dataset auditing. Specific…
Time series forecasting presents significant challenges in real-world applications across various domains. Building upon the decomposition of the time series, we enhance the architecture of machine learning models for better multivariate time series forecasting. To achieve this, we focus on the tren…
Breast cancer bone metastasis (BCBM) affects women’s health globally, calling for the development of effective diagnosis and prognosis solutions. While deep learning has exhibited impressive capacities across various healthcare domains, its applicability in BCBM diseases is consistently hindered…
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have significantly progressed by extending large language models. Building on this progress, the latest developments in LMMs demonstrate the ability to generate dense pixel-wise segmentation by integrating segmentation models. Despite the innovations, existing works’ t…
The imbalance (or long-tail) is the nature of many real-world data distributions, which often induces the undesirable bias of deep classification models toward frequent classes, resulting in poor performance for tail classes. In this paper, we propose a novel two-stage learning approach to mitigate…
Federated learning (FL) has been widely deployed to enable machine learning training on sensitive data across distributed devices. However, the decentralized learning paradigm and heterogeneity of FL further extend the attack surface for backdoor attacks. Existing FL attack and defense methodologies…
Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has gained immense success in many applications, including gaming AI, robotics, and system scheduling. Distributed algorithms and architectures have been vastly proposed (e.g., actor-learner architecture) to accelerate DRL training with large-scale server-based clus…
Federated learning (FL) is known to be susceptible to model poisoning attacks in which malicious clients hamper the accuracy of the global model by sending manipulated model updates to the central server during the FL training process. Existing defenses mainly focus on Byzantine-robust FL aggregati…
Precise crop yield prediction provides valuable information for agricultural planning and decision-making processes. However, timely predicting crop yields remains challenging as crop growth is sensitive to growing season weather variation and climate change. In this work, we develop a deep learning…
Federated learning (FL) over mobile devices is a promising distributed learning paradigm for various mobile applications. However, practical deployment of FL over mobile devices is very challenging because (i) conventional FL incurs huge training latency for mobile devices due to interleaved local c…
Most sequential recommendation models capture the features of consecutive items in a user-item interaction history. Though effective, their representation expressiveness is still hindered by the sparse learning signals. As a result, the sequential recommender is prone to make inconsistent prediction…
This paper proposes a novel oversampling approach that strives to balance the class priors with a considerably imbalanced data distribution of high dimensionality. The crux of our approach lies in learning interpretable latent representations that can model the synthetic mechanism of the…
Generalized zero-shot learning (GZSL) has attracted considerable attention recently, which trains models with data from seen classes and tests on data from both seen and unseen classes. Most of the existing methods attempt to find a mapping from visual space to semantic space, such mapping can easil…
This paper explores a new online learning problem where the input sequence lives in an over-time varying feature space and the ground-truth label of any input point is given only occasionally, making online learners less restrictive and more applicable. The crux in this setting lies in how to exploi…
Learning interpretable representations in an unsupervised setting is an important yet a challenging task. Existing unsupervised interpretable methods focus on extracting independent salient features from data. However they miss out the fact that the entanglement of salient features may also be infor…
