CL-Guard: Defending DNNs Against Backdoors via Fine-Grained Neuron Analysis and Collaborative Dual-Network Learning

AAAI 2026technical

Backdoor attacks on deep neural networks (DNNs) have garnered significant attention, particularly in edge computing applications. Given the complexity and opacity of DNNs, defending against backdoor attacks remains a formidable challenge. To address this, we propose CL-Guard, a dual-network-based de

RMFlow: Refined Mean Flow by a Noise-Injection Step for Multimodal Generation

ICLR 2026poster

Mean flow (MeanFlow) enables efficient, high-fidelity image generation, yet its single-function evaluation (1-NFE) generation often cannot yield compelling results. We address this issue by introducing RMFlow, an efficient multimodal generative model that integrates a coarse 1-NFE MeanFlow transport…

A Theoretically-Principled Sparse, Connected, and Rigid Graph Representation of Molecules

ICLR 2025oral

Graph neural networks (GNNs) -- learn graph representations by exploiting the graph's sparsity, connectivity, and symmetries -- have become indispensable for learning geometric data like molecules. However, the most used graphs (e.g., radial cutoff graphs) in molecular modeling lack theoretical guar…

Improving Flow Matching by Aligning Flow Divergence

ICML 2025poster

Conditional flow matching (CFM) stands out as an efficient, simulation-free approach for training flow-based generative models, achieving remarkable performance for data generation. However, CFM is insufficient to ensure accuracy in learning probability paths. In this paper, we introduce a new parti…

Investigating the Role of Weight Decay in Enhancing Nonconvex SGD

CVPR 2025poster

Weight decay is a widely used technique in training machine learning models, known to empirically enhance the generalization of Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). While intuitively weight decay allows SGD to train a regularized model rather than the original one, there is limited theoretical underst…

Towards Multiscale Graph-based Protein Learning with Geometric Secondary Structural Motifs

NeurIPS 2025poster

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have emerged as powerful tools for learning protein structures by capturing spatial relationships at the residue level. However, existing GNN-based methods often face challenges in learning multiscale representations and modeling long-range dependencies efficiently. In t…

Latent Plan Transformer for Trajectory Abstraction: Planning as Latent Space Inference

NeurIPS 2024poster

In tasks aiming for long-term returns, planning becomes essential. We study generative modeling for planning with datasets repurposed from offline reinforcement learning. Specifically, we identify temporal consistency in the absence of step-wise rewards as one key technical challenge. We introduce t…

Voxel or Pillar: Exploring Efficient Point Cloud Representation for 3D Object Detection

AAAI 2024technical

Efficient representation of point clouds is fundamental for LiDAR-based 3D object detection. While recent grid-based detectors often encode point clouds into either voxels or pillars, the distinctions between these approaches remain underexplored. In this paper, we quantify the differences between t…

Construct Effective Geometry Aware Feature Pyramid Network for Multi-Scale Object Detection

AAAI 2022technical

Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) has been widely adopted to exploit multi-scale features for scale variation in object detection. However, intrinsic defects in most of the current methods with FPN make it difficult to adapt to the feature of different geometric objects. To address this issue, we introd…

Deep Recurrent Neural Network with Multi-Scale Bi-directional Propagation for Video Deblurring

AAAI 2022technical

The success of the state-of-the-art video deblurring methods stems mainly from implicit or explicit estimation of alignment among the adjacent frames for latent video restoration. However, due to the influence of the blur effect, estimating the alignment information from the blurry adjacent frames i…
