DREAM: Dual-Standard Semantic Homogeneity with Dynamic Optimization for Graph Learning with Label Noise

ICML 2026poster

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been widely used in various graph machine learning scenarios. Existing literature primarily assumes well-annotated training graphs, while the reliability of labels is not guaranteed in real-world scenarios. Recently, efforts have been made to address the problem of …

Detached Skip-Links and $R$-Probe: Decoupling Feature Aggregation from Gradient Propagation for MLLM OCR

ICML 2026poster

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) excel at high-level reasoning yet fail on OCR tasks where fine-grained visual details are compromised or misaligned. We identify an overlooked optimization issue in multi-layer feature fusion. Skip pathways introduce direct back-propagation paths from high-le…

Hierarchical Encoding Tree with Modality Mixup for Cross-modal Hashing

ICLR 2026poster

Cross-modal retrieval is a significant task that aims to learn the semantic correspondence between visual and textual modalities. Unsupervised hashing methods can efficiently manage large-scale data and can be effectively applied to cross-modal retrieval studies. However, existing methods typically…

When Safe Unimodal Inputs Collide: Optimizing Reasoning Chains for Cross-Modal Safety in Multimodal Large Language Models

AAAI 2026technical

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are susceptible to the implicit reasoning risk, wherein innocuous unimodal inputs synergistically assemble into risky multimodal data that produce harmful outputs. We attribute this vulnerability to the difficulty of MLLMs maintaining safety alignment through

A Survey of RAG-Reasoning Systems in Large Language Models

EMNLP 2025

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) lifts the factuality of Large Language Models (LLMs) by injecting external knowledge, yet it falls short on problems that demand multi-step inference; conversely, purely reasoning-oriented approaches often hallucinate or mis-ground facts. This survey synthesizes

Attention Bootstrapping for Multi-Modal Test-Time Adaptation

AAAI 2025technical

Test-time adaptation aims to adapt a well-trained model to potential distribution shifts at test time using only unlabeled test data, without access to the original training data. While previous efforts mainly focus on a single modality, test-time distribution shift in the multi-modal setting is mor…

Dual Prototype-Enhanced Contrastive Framework for Class-Imbalanced Graph Domain Adaptation

NeurIPS 2025poster

Graph transfer learning, especially in unsupervised domain adaptation, aims to transfer knowledge from a label-abundant source graph to an unlabeled target graph. However, most existing approaches overlook the common issue of label imbalance in the source domain, typically assuming a balanced label…

Dynamic Bundling with Large Language Models for Zero-Shot Inference on Text-Attributed Graphs

NeurIPS 2025poster

Large language models (LLMs) have been used in many zero-shot learning problems, with their strong generalization ability. Recently, adopting LLMs in text-attributed graphs (TAGs) has drawn increasing attention. However, the adoption of LLMs faces two major challenges: limited information on graph s…
