NeuSpeech: Decode Neural signal as Speech

ICASSP 2026poster

Decoding language from brain dynamics is an important open direction in the realm of brain-computer interface (BCI), especially considering the rapid growth of large language models. Compared to invasive-based signals which require electrode implantation surgery, non-invasive neural signals (e.g. EE…

SURDS: Benchmarking Spatial Understanding and Reasoning in Driving Scenarios with Vision Language Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Accurate spatial reasoning in outdoor environments—covering geometry, object pose, and inter-object relationships—is fundamental to downstream tasks such as mapping, motion forecasting, and high-level planning in autonomous driving. We introduce SURDS, a large-scale benchmark designed to systematica…

WMNav: Integrating Vision-Language Models into World Models for Object Goal Navigation

IROS 2025

Object Goal Navigation-requiring an agent to locate a specific object in an unseen environment-remains a core challenge in embodied AI. Although recent progress in Vision-Language Model (VLM)-based agents has demonstrated promising perception and decision-making abilities through prompting, none has

Uncertainty Estimation via Response Scaling for Pseudo-Mask Noise Mitigation in Weakly-Supervised Semantic Segmentation

AAAI 2022technical

Weakly-Supervised Semantic Segmentation (WSSS) segments objects without heavy burden of dense annotation. While as a price, generated pseudo-masks exist obvious noisy pixels, which result in sub-optimal segmentation models trained over these pseudo-masks. But rare studies notice or work on this prob…

Progressive Open-Domain Response Generation with Multiple Controllable Attributes

IJCAI 2021poster

It is desirable to include more controllable attributes to enhance the diversity of generated responses in open-domain dialogue systems. However, existing methods can generate responses with only one controllable attribute or lack a flexible way to generate them with multiple controllable attribute…
