With the rapid advancement of pathology foundation models (FMs), the representation learning of whole slide images (WSIs) attracts increasing attention. Existing studies develop high-quality patch feature extractors and employ carefully…
Multi-view clustering is a learning paradigm based on multi-view data. Since statistic properties of different views are diverse, even incompatible, few approaches implement multi-view clustering based on the concatenated features…
In this paper, we address the dichotomy between heterogeneous models and simultaneous training in Federated Learning (FL) via a clustering framework. We define a new clustering model for FL based on the (optimal) local models of the users:…

Cross-device federated learning is an emerging machine learning (ML) paradigm where a large population of devices collectively train an ML model while the data remains on the devices. This research field has a unique set of practical…
Instruction tuning of large vision-language models (LVLMs) increasingly depends on massive multimodal corpora, yet these datasets contain samples with substantial redundancy, low visual dependency, and highly imbalanced coverage of…
Distance-based outlier detection is widely adopted in many fields, e.g., data mining and machine learning, because it is unsupervised, can be employed in a generic metric space, and does not have any assumptions of data distributions. Data…
Multi-graph multi-label learning (\textsc{Mgml}) is a supervised learning framework, which aims to learn a multi-label classifier from a set of labeled bags each containing a number of graphs. Prior techniques on the \textsc{Mgml} are…
Classification of sets of inputs (e.g., images and texts) is an active area of research within both computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP). A common way to represent a set of vectors is to model them as linear subspaces.…
