Learning representations on graphs is foundational for many downstream tasks, and its synergy with diffusion models has emerged as a promising direction. However, diffusion-based methods for heterogeneous graphs remain underexplored, confronting two principal challenges: (1) The presence of noise an
Natural language interfaces for vehicle control must contend with vague commands, evolving dialogue context, and strict protocol constraints. We introduce ClarifyVC, a unified framework that integrates a hybrid data-augmentation pipeline (ClarifyVC-Data), reference models trained on the data (Clari…
Hash center-based deep hashing methods improve upon pairwise or triplet-based approaches by assigning fixed hash centers to each class as learning targets, thereby avoiding the inefficiency of local similarity optimization. However, random center initialization often disregards inter-class semantic
Forecasting multivariate hidden Markov processes is challenging due to nonlinear and nonstationary observations, latent state transitions, and cross-sequence dependencies. While deep learning methods achieve strong predictive accuracy, they typically lack explicit state modeling, whereas Hidden Mark…
We introduce FIXME, the first end-to-end and large-scale benchmark for evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) in hardware design functional verification (FV). Comprising 747 tasks derived from real-world hardware designs, FIXME spans five core FV sub-sets: specification comprehension, reference mod
Humans commonly reason about object affordance through observed interactions in images or videos, and once formed, such knowledge can be generically generalized to novel objects. Inspired by this principle, we advocate for a novel framework that leverages emerging multimodal large language models (M
Large language model (LLM) services now answer billions of queries per day, and industry reports show that inference, not training, accounts for more than 90% of total power consumption. However, existing benchmarks focus on either training/fine-tuning or performance of inference and provide little
Multimodal video recommendation systems face fundamental challenges in determining optimal fusion strategies across diverse content types and user preferences. Existing methods suffer from two critical limitations: (1) their fusion strategies are guided by context-agnostic priors that ignore the sem
We tackle the task of long-form music generation, particularly the challenging \textbf{lyrics-to-song} problem, by introducing \textbf{YuE (乐)}, a family of open-source music generation foundation models. Specifically, YuE scales to trillions of tokens and generates up to five minutes of music while…
Diffusion-based text-to-audio (TTA) generation has made substantial progress, leveraging latent diffusion model (LDM) to produce high-quality, diverse and instruction-relevant audios. However, beyond generation, the task of audio editing remains equally important but has received comparatively littl…

Functional data play a pivotal role across science and engineering, yet their infinite-dimensional nature makes representation learning challenging. Conventional statistical models depend on pre-chosen basis expansions or kernels, limiting the flexibility of data-driven discovery, while many deep-le…
Layout-to-image (L2I) generation has exhibited promising results in natural domains, but suffers from limited generative fidelity and weak alignment with user-provided layouts when applied to degraded scenes (i.e., low-light, underwater). We primarily attribute these limitations to the "contextual i…
Text-to-image diffusion model has inspired research into text-to-data synthesis without human intervention, where spatial attentions correlated with semantic entities in text prompts are primarily interpreted as pseudo-masks. However, these vannila attentions often deliver visual-linguistic discrepa…
This paper addresses the challenge of reconstructing dynamic 3D scenes with complex motions. Some recent works define 3D Gaussian primitives in the canonical space and use deformation fields to map canonical primitives to observation spaces, achieving real-time dynamic view synthesis. However, these…
Modeling complicated interactions among the ego-vehicle, road agents, and map elements has been a crucial part for safety-critical autonomous driving. Previous work on end-to-end autonomous driving relies on the attention mechanism to handle heterogeneous interactions, which fails to capture geometr
