Beyond Sharpness: A Flatness Decomposition Framework for Efficient Continual Learning

AAAI 2026technical

Continual Learning (CL) aims to enable models to sequentially learn multiple tasks without forgetting previous knowledge. Recent studies have shown that optimizing towards flatter loss minima can improve model generalization. However, existing sharpness-aware methods for CL suffer from two key limit

Athena: Safe Autonomous Agents with Verbal Contrastive Learning

EMNLP 2024industry

Due to emergent capabilities, large language models (LLMs) have been utilized as language-based agents to perform a variety of tasks and make decisions with an increasing degree of autonomy. These autonomous agents can understand high-level instructions, interact with their environments, and execute…

Semi-Supervised Speech Enhancement Based On Speech Purity

ICASSP 2023accepted

We tend to assume most available speech corpora we use are either completely clean or completely noised. However, the reality is most of them are a mix of both. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised speech enhancement framework to enhance such typical speech datasets. This framework includes a…

Harmonic Gated Compensation Network Plus for ICASSP 2022 DNS Challenge

ICASSP 2022accepted

The harmonic structure of speech is resistant to noise, but the harmonics may still be partially masked by noise. Therefore, we previously proposed a harmonic gated compensation network (HGCN) to predict the full harmonic locations based on the unmasked harmonics and process the result of a coarse e…
