FedMT: Federated Learning with Mixed-type Labels
Qiong Zhang, Jing Peng, Xin Zhang +3
In federated learning (FL), classifiers (e.g., deep networks) are trained on datasets from multiple data centers without exchanging data across them, which improves the sample effi…
Boosting the Generalization Capability in Cross-Domain Few-shot Learning via Noise-enhanced Supervised Autoencoder
Hanwen Liang, Qiong Zhang, Peng Dai +1
State of the art (SOTA) few-shot learning (FSL) methods suffer significant performance drop in the presence of domain differences between source and target datasets. The strong dis…
Classification Beats Regression: Counting of Cells from Greyscale Microscopic Images based on Annotation-free Training Samples
Xin Ding, Qiong Zhang, William J. Welch
Modern methods often formulate the counting of cells from microscopic images as a regression problem and more or less rely on expensive, manually annotated training images (e.g., d…
Distributed Learning of Finite Gaussian Mixtures
Qiong Zhang, Jiahua Chen
Advances in information technology have led to extremely large datasets that are often kept in different storage centers. Existing statistical methods must be adapted to overcome t…
Locally Optimal Design for A/B Testing in the Presence of Covariates and Network Connection
Qiong Zhang, Lulu Kang
A/B test, a simple type of controlled experiment, refers to the statistical procedure of experimenting to compare two treatments applied to test subjects. For example, many IT comp…
Robust Layout-aware IE for Visually Rich Documents with Pre-trained Language Models
Mengxi Wei, Yifan He, Qiong Zhang
Many business documents processed in modern NLP and IR pipelines are visually rich: in addition to text, their semantics can also be captured by visual traits such as layout, forma…
Masking Orchestration: Multi-task Pretraining for Multi-role Dialogue Representation Learning
Tianyi Wang, Yating Zhang, Xiaozhong Liu +2
Multi-role dialogue understanding comprises a wide range of diverse tasks such as question answering, act classification, dialogue summarization etc. While dialogue corpora are abu…
Robust Optimal Design of Two-Armed Trials with Side Information
Qiong Zhang, Amin Khademi, Yongjia Song
Significant evidence has become available that emphasizes the importance of personalization in medicine. In fact, it has become a common belief that personalized medicine is the fu…
Sequential Selection for Accelerated Life Testing via Approximate Bayesian Inference
Ye Chen, Qiong Zhang, Mingyang Li +1
Accelerated life testing (ALT) is typically used to assess the reliability of material's lifetime under desired stress levels. Recent advances in material engineering have made a v…
Blockchain-Assisted Spectrum Trading between Elastic Virtual Optical Networks
Shifeng Ding, Kevin X. Pan, Sanjay K. Bose +2
In communication networks, network virtualization can usually provide better capacity utilization and quality of service (QoS) than what can be achieved otherwise. However, convent…
Review-based Question Generation with Adaptive Instance Transfer and Augmentation
Qian Yu, Lidong Bing, Qiong Zhang +2
Online reviews provide rich information about products and service, while it remains inefficient for potential consumers to exploit the reviews for fulfilling their specific inform…
Detect Camouflaged Spam Content via StoneSkipping: Graph and Text Joint Embedding for Chinese Character Variation Representation
Zhuoren Jiang, Zhe Gao, Guoxiu He +5
The task of Chinese text spam detection is very challenging due to both glyph and phonetic variations of Chinese characters. This paper proposes a novel framework to jointly model…
D-optimal Design for Network A/B Testing
Victoria Pokhiko, Qiong Zhang, Lulu Kang +1
A/B testing refers to the statistical procedure of conducting an experiment to compare two treatments, A and B, applied to different testing subjects. It is widely used by technolo…
Generating Handwritten Chinese Characters using CycleGAN
Bo Chang, Qiong Zhang, Shenyi Pan +1
Handwriting of Chinese has long been an important skill in East Asia. However, automatic generation of handwritten Chinese characters poses a great challenge due to the large numbe…
