Federated recommendation (FR) facilitates collaborative training by aggregating local models from massive devices, enabling client-specific personalization while ensuring privacy. However, we empirically and theoretically demonstrate that server-side aggregation can undermine client-side personaliza
Collaborative perception empowers autonomous agents to share complementary information and overcome perception limitations. While early fusion offers more perceptual complementarity and is inherently robust to model heterogeneity, its high communication cost has limited its practical deployment, pro
Neural network pruning is crucial for efficient deployment on resource-constrained devices, yet achieving high sparsity often leads to significant robustness degradation against adversarial perturbations and corruptions. Recent works typically rely on single-model fine-tuning along a fixed optimizat
Recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have enabled highly efficient and photorealistic novel view synthesis. However, segmenting objects accurately in 3DGS remains challenging due to the discrete nature of Gaussian representations, which often leads to aliasing and artifacts at object boun
Federated recommendations (FRs), facilitating multiple local clients to collectively learn a global model without disclosing user private data, have emerged as a prevalent on-device service. In conventional FRs, a dominant paradigm is to utilize discrete identities to represent clients and items, wh
Recent graph-based multi-view clustering (GMVC) methods typically encode view features into high-dimensional spaces and construct graphs based on distance similarity. However, the high dimensionality of the embeddings often leads to the hubness problem, where a few points repeatedly appear in the ne…
Current collaborative perception methods often rely on fully annotated datasets, which can be expensive to obtain in practical situations. To reduce annotation costs, some works adopt sparsely supervised learning techniques and generate pseudo labels for the missing instances. However, these methods…
The integration of differential equations with neural networks has created powerful tools for modeling complex dynamics effectively across diverse machine learning applications. While standard integer-order neural ordinary differential equations (ODEs) have shown considerable success, they are limit…
The use of neural differential equation models in machine learning applications has gained significant traction in recent years. In particular, fractional differential equations (FDEs) have emerged as a powerful tool for capturing complex dynamics in various domains. While existing models have prima…
Large Language Models (LLMs) capable of handling extended contexts are in high demand, yet their inference remains challenging due to substantial Key-Value (KV) cache size and high memory bandwidth requirements. Previous research has demonstrated that KV cache exhibits low-rank characteristics withi…
Graph neural networks (GNNs) are recognized for their strong performance across various applications, with the backpropagation (BP) algorithm playing a central role in the development of most GNN models. However, despite its effectiveness, BP has limitations that challenge its biological plausibilit…
Few-shot 3D point cloud semantic segmentation aims to segment query point clouds with only a few annotated support point clouds. Existing prototype-based methods learn prototypes from the 3D support set to guide the segmentation of query point clouds. However, they encounter the challenge of low pro…
Visual Transformers (ViTs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are the two primary backbone structures extensively used in various vision tasks. Generating transferable adversarial examples for ViTs is difficult due to ViTs' superior robustness, while transferring adversarial examples across Vi…
Unsupervised person re-identification (re-ID) is becoming increasingly popular due to its power in real-world systems such as public security and intelligent transportation systems. However, the person re-ID task is challenged by the problems of data distribution discrepancy across cameras and lack…
As facial interaction systems are prevalently deployed, security and reliability of these systems become a critical issue, with substantial research efforts devoted. Among them, face anti-spoofing emerges as an important area, whose objective is to identify whether a presented face is live or spoof.…
Learning-based approaches to graph matching have been developed and explored for more than a decade, have grown rapidly in scope and popularity in recent years. However, previous learning-based algorithms, with or without deep learning strategy, mainly focus on the learning of node and/or edge affin…
Tracking planar objects has a wide range of applications in robotics. Conventional template tracking algorithms, however, often fail to observe fast object motion or drift significantly after a period of time, due to drastic object appearance change. To address such challenges, we propose a novel co…
