Sequence models typically operate at a fixed temporal or spatial scale and struggle to generalize to substantially longer horizons or higher resolutions without retraining. Existing hierarchical architectures expand receptive fields but rely on scale-specific parameters and lack mechanisms to enforc…
Combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) are fundamental to many real-world applications where efficiently producing high-quality solutions is critical. Recent advances in diffusion-based non-autoregressive models have reformulated solving COPs as a generative process, achieving promising results.
We present FloodDiffusion, a new framework for text-driven, streaming human motion generation. Given time-varying text prompts, FloodDiffusion generates text-aligned, seamless motion sequences with real-time latency.Unlike existing methods that rely on chunk-by-chunk or auto-regressive model with di
Partially View-aligned Clustering (PVC) addresses the challenge of partial view alignment in multi-view learning by leveraging complementary and consistent information. While existing PVC methods show promise, most rely on distance-based strategies that are sensitive to view-specific details and noi
For denoising Spatially Resolved Transcriptomics (SRT) data, existing methods often construct spot and gene graphs to model inter-spot and inter-gene relationships, respectively. However, these methods often introduce spurious similarity biases among spots when constructing the spot graph and fail t…
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a widely adopted non-invasive imaging technique that tracks the motion of tracer particles across image sequences to capture the velocity distribution of fluid flows. It is commonly employed to analyze complex flow structures and validate numerical simulations. Th
Learning from geometrically structured data is central to applications in biology, physics, and computer vision. In many tasks, meaningful comparisons depend on how features are aligned in space. Graph Neural Networks capture local structure but are constrained by message passing. Transformers model…
Open-world 3D semantic occupancy prediction aims to generate a voxelized 3D representation from sensor inputs while recognizing both known and unknown objects. Transferring open-vocabulary knowledge from vision-language models (VLMs) offers a promising direction but remains challenging. However, met…
The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a critical combinatorial optimization problem with wide-reaching real-world applications, particularly in logistics, transportation.

Few-shot anomaly classification (FSAC) is a vital task in manufacturing industry. Recent methods focus on utilizing CLIP in zero/few normal shot anomaly detection instead of custom models. However, there is a lack of specific text prompts in anomaly classification and most of them ignore the modalit…
Neural construction models have shown promising performance for Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs) by adopting either the Autoregressive (AR) or Non-Autoregressive (NAR) learning approach. While AR models produce high-quality solutions, they generally have a high inference latency due to their sequenti…

Implicit neural representation (INR) characterizes the attributes of a signal as a function of corresponding coordinates which emerges as a sharp weapon for solving inverse problems. However, the capacity of INR is limited by the spectral bias in the network training. In this paper, we find that suc…
