Nested Sparsity for Scalable Pretraining and Continual Learning

Tianzhe Chu, Druv Pai, Yi Ma

Mixture-of-experts (MoE) transformers, the standard backbone for modern large-scale deep learning, employ conditional computation: only a sparse subset of model weights is used in…

DexHoldem: An Agentic Robotics Benchmark for Dexterous Manipulation in Texas Hold'em

Feng Chen, Tianzhe Chu, Li Sun +6

Evaluating embodied systems with real dexterous hardware requires more than isolated motor-skill tests: an agent must perceive a changing scene (e.g. a tabletop), choose a context-…

Pointer-CAD: Unifying B-Rep and Command Sequences via Pointer-based Edges & Faces Selection

Dacheng Qi, Chenyu Wang, Jingwei Xu +6

Constructing computer-aided design (CAD) models is labor-intensive but essential for engineering and manufacturing. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have inspired th…

GenDexHand: Generative Simulation for Dexterous Hands

Feng Chen, Zhuxiu Xu, Tianzhe Chu +7

Data scarcity remains a fundamental bottleneck for embodied intelligence. Existing approaches use large language models (LLMs) to automate gripper-based simulation generation, but…

White-Box Transformers via Sparse Rate Reduction: Compression Is All There Is?

Yaodong Yu, Sam Buchanan, Druv Pai +7

In this paper, we contend that a natural objective of representation learning is to compress and transform the distribution of the data, say sets of tokens, towards a low-dimension…

Emergence of Segmentation with Minimalistic White-Box Transformers

Yaodong Yu, Tianzhe Chu, Shengbang Tong +4

Transformer-like models for vision tasks have recently proven effective for a wide range of downstream applications such as segmentation and detection. Previous works have shown th…

Image Clustering via the Principle of Rate Reduction in the Age of Pretrained Models

Tianzhe Chu, Shengbang Tong, Tianjiao Ding +4

The advent of large pre-trained models has brought about a paradigm shift in both visual representation learning and natural language processing. However, clustering unlabeled imag…
