Flash-WAM: Modality-Aware Distillation for World Action Models
Arman Akbari, Ci Zhang, Arash Akbari +6
World-action models (WAMs) jointly generate future video and robot actions through iterative diffusion, achieving strong performance on manipulation benchmarks but requiring tens o…
Advancing time series completion via RFAMoE and MDFF
Ci Zhang, Huayu Li, Changdi Yang +6
Recent studies show that using diffusion models for time series signal reconstruction holds great promise. However, such approaches remain largely unexplored in the domain of medic…
Rethinking the Potential of Layer Freezing for Efficient DNN Training
Chence Yang, Ci Zhang, Lei Lu +11
With the growing size of deep neural networks and datasets, the computational costs of training have significantly increased. The layer-freezing technique has recently attracted gr…
Perturbation-efficient Zeroth-order Optimization for Hardware-friendly On-device Training
Qitao Tan, Sung-En Chang, Rui Xia +10
Zeroth-order (ZO) optimization is an emerging deep neural network (DNN) training paradigm that offers computational simplicity and memory savings. However, this seemingly promising…
