In the recent progress in embodied navigation and sim-to-robot transfer, modular policies have emerged as a de facto framework. However, there is more to compositionality beyond the decomposition of the learning load into modular…

Multilingual BERT (mBERT), XLM-RoBERTa (XLMR) and other unsupervised multilingual encoders can effectively learn cross-lingual representation. Explicit alignment objectives based on bitexts like Europarl or MultiUN have been shown to…

We study a variant of the thresholding bandit problem (TBP) in the context of outlier detection, where the objective is to identify the outliers whose rewards are above a threshold. Distinct from the traditional TBP, the threshold is…

Constrained multi-objective optimization problems (CMOPs) are of great significance in the context of practical applications, ranging from scientific to engineering domains. Most existing constrained multi-objective evolutionary algorithms…

Multi-sensor clues have shown promise for object segmentation, but inherent noise in each sensor, as well as the calibration error in practice, may bias the segmentation accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel approach by mining the…

This work presents a novel module, namely multi-branch concat (MBC), to process the input tensor and obtain the multi-scale feature map. The proposed MBC module brings new degrees of freedom (DoF) for the design of attention networks by…

Exploration of task mappings plays a crucial role in achieving high performance in heterogeneous multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC) platforms. The problem of optimally mapping a set of tasks onto a set of given heterogeneous processors…

Bayesian bandits using Thompson Sampling have seen increasing success in recent years. Yet existing value models (of rewards) are misspecified on many real-world problem. We demonstrate this on the User Experience Optimization (UXO)…

Selecting the most relevant or informative features is a key issue in actual machine learning problems. Since an exhaustive search is not feasible even for a moderate number of features, an intelligent search strategy must be employed for…

Finding appropriate low dimensional representations of high-dimensional multi-modal data can be challenging, since each modality embodies unique deformations and interferences. In this paper, we address the problem using manifold learning,…

Recently, transformer and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) architectures have achieved impressive results on various vision tasks. However, how to effectively combine those operators to form high-performance hybrid visual architectures still…

This paper pursues the insight that language models naturally enable an intelligent variation operator similar in spirit to evolutionary crossover. In particular, language models of sufficient scale demonstrate in-context learning, i.e.…

Contextual multi-armed bandit problems arise frequently in important industrial applications. Existing solutions model the context either linearly, which enables uncertainty driven (principled) exploration, or non-linearly, by using…

This paper addresses non-convex constrained optimization problems that are characterized by a scalar complicating constraint. We propose an iterative bisection method for the dual problem (DualBi Algorithm) that recovers a feasible primal…

As a few large-scale pre-trained models become the major choices of various applications, new challenges arise for model pruning, e.g., can we avoid pruning the same model from scratch for every downstream task? How to reuse the pruning…

The Clustered Shortest-Path Tree Problem (CluSPT) plays an important role in various types of optimization problems in real-life. Recently, some Multifactorial Evolutionary Algorithm (MFEA) have been introduced to deal with the CluSPT,…

Fluorescence microscopy allows for a detailed inspection of cells, cellular networks, and anatomical landmarks by staining with a variety of carefully-selected markers visualized as color channels. Quantitative characterization of…

Clinical trials are the gold standard for assessing the effectiveness and safety of drugs for treating diseases. Given the vast design space of drug molecules, elevated financial cost, and multi-year timeline of these trials, research on…

Memory efficiency is crucial in training deep learning networks on resource-restricted devices. During backpropagation, forward tensors are used to calculate gradients. Despite the option of keeping those dependencies in memory until they…

In NLP, a large volume of tasks involve pairwise comparison between two sequences (e.g. sentence similarity and paraphrase identification). Predominantly, two formulations are used for sentence-pair tasks: bi-encoders and cross-encoders.…
