Understanding Reasoning from Pretraining to Post-Training

Jingyan Shen, Ang Li, Salman Rahman, Yifan Sun, Micah Goldblum, Matus Telgarsky, et al.

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become central to improving large language models (LLMs) on complex reasoning tasks, yet RL post-training is largely studied in isolation from the pretraining that precedes it. As a result, two basic questions remain open: (1) how do pretraining ch…

BitFair: A 12nm Bit-Serial CNN Accelerator with Learnable Early Termination and Adaptive Bit Ordering for Ultra-Low-Power XR Vision

Ang Li, Chang Gao

Extended Reality (XR) wearables require always-on perception within tight power envelopes of a few watts and motion-to-photon latency budgets below 20 ms, leaving only a few milliseconds for neural-network inference. Bit-serial computing is attractive for such energy-efficient ne…

TacGen: Touch Is a Necessary Dimension of Physical-World Representation -- Addressing Tactile Data Scarcity with Scalable Vision-to-Touch Alignment and Generation

Wanghao Ye, Aarosh Das, Sihan Chen, Yiting Wang, Bowei Tian, Guoheng Sun, et al.

Touch resolves the physical-property ambiguity left by vision: exploratory contact recovers shape, texture, compliance, and material, and visuo-haptic object representations converge in ventral visual cortex. We ask whether representation learning can reproduce this grounding. Ta…

RefGlass-GS: A UAV-Enabled Fusion Framework for Photorealistic, Semantic and Interactive Digitization of Reflective Glass Facades via Gaussian Splatting

Zhenyu Liang, Xiao Zhang, Boyu Wang, Zhaolun Liang, Ang Li, Jeff Chak Fu Chan, et al.

Existing digitization of buildings with reflective glass facades suffers from geometric reconstruction distortion, unrealistic view-dependent texture rendering, and difficulties in object-based semantic enhancement. Therefore, we propose RefGlass-GS, a fusion framework that enabl…

Drop-Then-Recovery: How Redundant Are Vision-Language-Action Models?

Guoheng Sun, Kaixi Feng, Shwai He, Xiaochuan Gong, Yexiao He, Ziyao Wang, et al.

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models enable instruction-driven robotic manipulation, but they inherit oversized language backbones from pretrained VLMs whose capacity far exceeds what is needed for short robotic instructions. This raises a basic question: how much of a VLA model i…

Deep learning-based mask design method for film thickness uniformity in spherical rotation systems

Gang Wang, Yuhao Li, Ang Li, Li Wang, Yunli Bai

Abstract The uniformity of the film thickness of large-aperture mirror is a critical factor affecting the imaging quality of reflective optical systems. A deep learning-based mask design strategy is proposed to reduce this non-uniformity. By developing a convolutional neural netw…

Digital Phenotyping of Sensation Seeking: A Machine Learning Approach Using Gait Analysis

Ang Li, Keyu Yang

Sensation seeking represents a significant risk factor for various mental health disorders and maladaptive behaviors, highlighting the need for objective assessment methods that circumvent the limitations of traditional self-report measures. This study introduces an innovative di…
