Continuous Limits of Coupled Flows in Representation Learning
Zilin Li, Weiwei Xu, Xuchun Tong +2
While modern representation learning relies heavily on global error signals, decentralized algorithms driven by local interactions offer a fundamental distributed alternative. Howe…
EmoLoom-2B: Fast Base-Model Screening for Emotion Classification and VAD with Lexicon-Weak Supervision and KV-Off Evaluation
Zilin Li, Weiwei Xu, Xuanbo Lu +1
We introduce EmoLoom-2B, a lightweight and reproducible pipeline that turns small language models under 2B parameters into fast screening candidates for joint emotion classificatio…
Neuro-Vesicles: Neuromodulation Should Be a Dynamical System, Not a Tensor Decoration
Zilin Li, Weiwei Xu, Vicki Kane
We introduce Neuro-Vesicles, a framework that augments conventional neural networks with a missing computational layer: a dynamical population of mobile, discrete vesicles that liv…
NeuroGaze-Distill: Brain-informed Distillation and Depression-Inspired Geometric Priors for Robust Facial Emotion Recognition
Zilin Li, Weiwei Xu, Xuanqi Zhao +1
Facial emotion recognition (FER) models trained only on pixels often fail to generalize across datasets because facial appearance is an indirect and biased proxy for underlying aff…
