Improving Task-Specific Multimodal Sentiment Analysis with General MLLMs via Prompting

NeurIPS 2025poster

Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (MSA) aims to predict sentiment from diverse data types, such as video, audio, and language. Recent progress in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance across various tasks. However, in MSA, the increase in computational costs d…

UltraModel: A Modeling Paradigm for Industrial Objects

IJCAI 2025

As Industrial 4.0 unfolds and digital twin technology rapidly advances, modeling techniques that can abstract real-world industrial objects into accurate and robust models, referred to modeling for industrial objects (MIO) tasks, have become increasingly crucial. However, existing works still face t

Image GANs meet Differentiable Rendering for Inverse Graphics and Interpretable 3D Neural Rendering

ICLR 2021oral

Differentiable rendering has paved the way to training neural networks to perform “inverse graphics” tasks such as predicting 3D geometry from monocular photographs. To train high performing models, most of the current approaches rely on multi-view imagery which are not readily available in practice…

Neural Radiance Flow for 4D View Synthesis and Video Processing

ICCV 2021poster

We present a method, Neural Radiance Flow (NeRFlow), to learn a 4D spatial-temporal representation of a dynamic scene from a set of RGB images. Key to our approach is the use of a neural implicit representation that learns to capture the 3D occupancy, radiance, and dynamics of the scene. By enforcin…

Learning Personalized Itemset Mapping for Cross-Domain Recommendation

IJCAI 2020poster

Cross-domain recommendation methods usually transfer knowledge across different domains implicitly, by sharing model parameters or learning parameter mappings in the latent space. Differing from previous studies, this paper focuses on learning explicit mapping between a user's behaviors (i.e. intera…

PuzzleFlex: kinematic motion of chains with loose joints

ICRA 2020poster

This paper presents a method of computing free motions of a planar assembly of rigid bodies connected by loose joints. Joints are modeled using local distance constraints, which are then linearized with respect to configuration space velocities, yielding a linear programming formulation that allows…

Metric cells: Towards complete search for optimal trajectories

IROS 2015poster

This paper presents a definition of convexity useful for describing local optimality in configuration spaces, proves that finding convex regions is relatively easy, and presents an algorithm for approximating the free configuration space using a set of such convex regions. The paper examines simple…
