Active inverse source localization and characterization (ISLC) in dynamic fields requires sequential decision making under partial observability, where a mobile sensor must infer latent source parameters from sparse, noisy readings. We introduce a belief-contraction-driven approach that unifies infe
Visual AutoRegressive modeling (VAR) based on next-scale prediction has revitalized autoregressive visual generation. Although its full-context dependency, i.e., modeling all previous scales for next-scale prediction, facilitates more stable and comprehensive representation learning by leveraging co
Block-wise decoding effectively improves the inference speed and quality in diffusion language models (DLMs) by combining inter-block sequential denoising and intra-block parallel unmasking. However, existing block-wise decoding methods typically partition blocks in a rigid and fixed manner, which i…
Reinforcement Learning has revolutionized decision-making processes in dynamic environments, yet it often struggles with autonomously detecting and achieving goals without clear feedback signals. For example, in a Source Term Estimation problem, the lack of precise environmental information makes it…
Generalizing multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) to accommodate variations in problem configurations remains a critical challenge in real-world applications, where even subtle differences in task setups can cause pre-trained policies to fail. To address this, we propose Context-Aware Identity…
Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) has achieved remarkable success, leading to rapid advancements in multimodal studies. However, CLIP faces a notable challenge in terms of *inefficient data utilization*. It relies on a single contrastive supervision for each image-text pair during repres…
Vision Transformer (ViT) faces obstacles in wide application due to its huge computational cost. Almost all existing studies on compressing ViT adopt the manner of splitting an image with a single granularity, with very few exploration of splitting an image with multi-granularity. As we know, import…
