Articulated object pose estimation is a core task in embodied AI and computer vision. Existing methods typically regress poses in a continuous space, but often struggle with 1) navigating a large, complex search space and 2) failing to incorporate intrinsic kinematic constraints. In this paper, we i
Articulated objects are prevalent in daily life and robotic manipulation tasks. However, compared to rigid objects, pose tracking for articulated objects remains an underexplored problem due to their inherent kinematic constraints. To address these challenges, this work proposes a novel point-pair-b
Graph Domain Adaptation (GDA) transfers knowledge from labeled source graphs to unlabeled target graphs but is challenged by complex, multi-faceted distributional shifts. Existing methods attempt to reduce distributional shifts by aligning manually selected graph elements (e.g., node attributes or s…
Graph Domain Adaptation (GDA) aims to bridge distribution shifts between domains by transferring knowledge from well-labeled source graphs to given unlabeled target graphs. One promising recent approach addresses graph transfer by discretizing the adaptation process, typically through the construct…
Generative recommendation as a new paradigm is influencing the current development of recommender systems. It aims to assign identifiers that capture richer semantic and collaborative information to items, and subsequently predict item identifiers via autoregressive generation using Large Language M
Most semi-supervised learning frameworks rely on a single teacher that transfers zero-order supervision through pseudo-labels, constraining the student to imitate categorical outputs without perceiving the loss geometry. This design often leads to unstable optimization and limited generalization und…
Recent studies have shown that long chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning can significantly enhance the performance of large language models (LLMs) on complex tasks. However, this benefit is yet to be demonstrated in the domain of video understanding, since most existing benchmarks lack the reasoning dep…
Image quality assessment (IQA) is inherently multi-mage quality assessment (IQA) is inherently multi-dimensional, yet existing reward models are typically limited to a single task and become unstable when extended to multi-task settings. In particular, heterogeneous reward scales and variances acros…
In this work, we propose a novel framework to enable diffusion models to adapt their generation quality based on real-time network bandwidth constraints. Traditional diffusion models produce high-fidelity images by performing a fixed number of denoising steps, regardless of downstream transmission l…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) prevails in Large Language Models. It mainly consists of retrieval and generation. The retrieval modules (a.k.a. retrievers) aim to find useful information used to facilitate the generation modules (a.k.a. generators). As such, generators’ performance largely dep…
Diabetic foot neuropathy (DFN) is a critical factor leading to diabetic foot ulcers, which is one of the most common and severe complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) and is associated with high risks of amputation and mortality. Despite its significance, existing datasets do not directly derive fr…
Articulations are essential in everyday interactions, yet traditional RGB-based pose estimation methods often struggle with issues such as lighting variations and shadows. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel Pre-defined keypoint based framework for category-level articulation pose estim
Human life is filled with articulated objects. Previous works for estimating the pose of category-level articulated objects rely on costly 3D point clouds or RGB-D images. In this paper, our goal is to estimate category-level articulation poses from a single RGB image, where we propose R2-Art, a nov…
Spatial Transcriptomics (ST) technologies provide biologists with rich insights into single-cell biology by preserving spatial context of cells. Building foundational models for ST can significantly enhance the analysis of vast and complex data sources, unlocking new perspectives on the intricacies…
This paper presents CPL-IQA, a novel semi-supervised blind image quality assessment (BIQA) framework for authentic distortion scenarios. To address the challenge of limited labeled data in IQA area, our approach leverages confidence-quantifiable pseudo-label learning to effectively utilize unlabeled…
Known as low energy consumption networks, spiking neural networks (SNNs) have gained a lot of attention within the past decades. While SNNs are increasing competitive with artificial neural networks (ANNs) for vision tasks, they are rarely used for long sequence tasks, despite their intrinsic tempor…
Multi-view multi-label learning typically suffers from dual data incompleteness due to limitations in feature storage and annotation costs. The interplay of hetero geneous features, numerous labels, and missing information significantly degrades model performance. To tackle the complex yet highly…

Algorithm selection, a critical process of automated machine learning, aims to identify the most suitable algorithm for solving a specific problem prior to execution. Mainstream algorithm selection techniques heavily rely on problem features, while the role of algorithm features remains largely unex…
