From Layers to States: A State Space Model Perspective to Deep Neural Network Layer Dynamics

ICLR 2025poster

The depth of neural networks is a critical factor for their capability, with deeper models often demonstrating superior performance. Motivated by this, significant efforts have been made to enhance layer aggregation - reusing information from previous layers to better extract features at the current…

Proxy-Bridged Game Transformer for Interactive Extreme Motion Prediction

ICCV 2025poster

Multi-person motion prediction becomes particularly challenging when handling highly interactive scenarios involving extreme motions. Previous works focused more on the case of `moderate' motions (e.g., walking together), where predicting each pose in isolation often yields reasonable results. Howev…

Cross-Layer Retrospective Retrieving via Layer Attention

ICLR 2023poster

More and more evidence has shown that strengthening layer interactions can enhance the representation power of a deep neural network, while self-attention excels at learning interdependencies by retrieving query-activated information. Motivated by this, we devise a cross-layer attention mechanism, c…

Encoding Recurrence into Transformers

ICLR 2023top-5%

This paper novelly breaks down with ignorable loss an RNN layer into a sequence of simple RNNs, each of which can be further rewritten into a lightweight positional encoding matrix of a self-attention, named the Recurrence Encoding Matrix (REM). Thus, recurrent dynamics introduced by the RNN layer c…

TabCaps: A Capsule Neural Network for Tabular Data Classification with BoW Routing

ICLR 2023poster

Records in a table are represented by a collection of heterogeneous scalar features. Previous work often made predictions for records in a paradigm that processed each feature as an operating unit, which requires to well cope with the heterogeneity. In this paper, we propose to encapsulate all featu…

Recurrence along Depth: Deep Convolutional Neural Networks with Recurrent Layer Aggregation

NeurIPS 2021poster

This paper introduces a concept of layer aggregation to describe how information from previous layers can be reused to better extract features at the current layer. While DenseNet is a typical example of the layer aggregation mechanism, its redundancy has been commonly criticized in the literature.…
