Diffusion-Inspired Reconfiguration of Transformers for Uncertainty Calibration
Manh Cuong Dao, Quang Hung Pham, Phi Le Nguyen +3
Uncertainty calibration in pre-trained transformers is critical for their reliable deployment in risk-sensitive applications. Yet, most existing pre-trained transformers do not hav…
Rethinking Cross-Modal Fine-Tuning: Optimizing the Interaction Between Feature Alignment and Target Fitting
Trong Khiem Tran, Manh Cuong Dao, Phi Le Nguyen +2
Adapting pre-trained models to unseen feature modalities has become increasingly important due to the growing need for cross-disciplinary knowledge integration. A key challenge her…
ROOT: Rethinking Offline Optimization as Distributional Translation via Probabilistic Bridge
Manh Cuong Dao, The Hung Tran, Phi Le Nguyen +2
This paper studies the black-box optimization task which aims to find the maxima of a black-box function using a static set of its observed input-output pairs. This is often achiev…
Boosting Offline Optimizers with Surrogate Sensitivity
Manh Cuong Dao, Phi Le Nguyen, Thao Nguyen Truong +1
Offline optimization is an important task in numerous material engineering domains where online experimentation to collect data is too expensive and needs to be replaced by an in s…
