Cross-Domain Recommendation (CDR) aims to leverage knowledge from a relatively data-richer source domain to address the data sparsity problem in a relatively data-sparser target domain. While CDR methods need to address the distribution shifts between different domains, i.e., cro…
Abstract Unplanned extubation (UEX) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is a serious adverse event. Current prevention strategies relying on staff vigilance have limitations. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer vision offers a new approach for real-time, non-contact monitori…
Snow avalanches pose a growing hazard in High Mountain Asia (HMA), yet their regional patterns are strongly governed by snow-climate regimes that are sensitive to both long-term warming and large-scale circulation variability. Using reanalysis-based meteorological and snow datase…
The training of learned inertial odometry depends on dense, high-precision position ground truth from motion capture, visual-inertial odometry or SLAM, which is costly and hard to acquire at scale. We propose DINS-IO, which learns inertial odometry directly from raw IMU streams w…
AI-generated image (AIGI) detectors achieve strong accuracy on clean benchmarks, but their performance drops sharply after images are propagated through real-world channels. We trace this fragility to what these detectors actually learn: they overfit to local artifacts left by ge…
The rapid emergence of LLM-powered autonomous and semi-autonomous agents is reshaping software systems from static, request-response components into goal-directed, adaptive, and tool-using computational actors. As these agents move from isolated cognitive prototypes into complex…
Federated fine-tuning of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) across distributed networks enables privacy-sensitive adaptation to evolving data streams, yet a fundamental obstacle prevents robust deployment in dynamic environments: catastrophic forgetting, wherein sequential…
Agentic AI systems are reshaping communications and networking by deploying autonomous intelligent agents capable of collaborative learning while maintaining data privacy at network edges. Within distributed network environments, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) serve as…
Scaling robust driving policies is fundamentally bottlenecked by the scarcity of edge cases in curated datasets. While the real world continuously captures these critical events, such long-tail events remain underutilized when collected from heterogeneous sources. Specifically, d…
Information Operations on social media networks have been identified as a significant threat to democracy and modern society, but they are challenging and expensive to detect by humans. Existing supervised IO detection methods fail to capture the dynamic nature of evolving IO use…
Non-invasive prediction of Gleason Grade Group (GGG) in prostate cancer using multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is clinically vital for reducing unnecessary biopsies. Existing GGG prediction methods face two major limitations. First, they often overlook non-image information critical f…
Quantum Architecture Search (QAS) automates the design of parameterized quantum circuits for variational quantum algorithms, yet existing benchmarks organize instances by molecular identity or qubit count -- criteria agnostic to Hamiltonian structure -- and rely solely on energy…
Small object detection (SOD) remains a challenging task in real-world applications. Despite recent advances, existing detectors remain limited by rigid processing that entangle spatial aggregation with implicit frequency aliasing and truncation, leading to inadequate preservation…
Scaling modern large language models (LLMs) to long contexts is limited by the quadratic computation cost, and poor length extrapolation of dense attention. Chunk-wise sparse attention offers a promising alternative, but all existing methods fall short of full attention because o…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a promising paradigm for end-to-end autonomous driving. However, existing VLAs' training relies heavily on text-centric visual question answering and chain-of-thought reasoning data, which emphasizes linguistic reasoning rather…
Generative world models hold immense promise as scalable simulators for autonomous systems, particularly for synthesizing rare but safety-critical multi-agent interactions, such as vehicle collisions. However, current evaluation paradigms index heavily on visual fidelity and sema…
Spatio-temporal grounding in long videos requires precise temporal localization and robust object tracking conditioned on natural-language queries. While recent vision-language models (VLMs) show strong reasoning ability, directly applying frame-by-frame inference to long sequenc…
Model Predictive Control (MPC) stands out as a prominent method for achieving optimal control in autonomous driving applications. However, the effectiveness of MPC approaches critically depends on the availability of accurate dynamic models and often necessitates substantial comp…
