Rethinking Gating Mechanism in Sparse MoE: Handling Arbitrary Modality Inputs with Confidence-Guided Gate

Liangwei Nathan Zheng, Wei Emma Zhang, Mingyu Guo +2

Effectively managing missing modalities is a fundamental challenge in real-world multimodal learning scenarios, where data incompleteness often results from systematic collection e…

Test-Time Attention Purification for Backdoored Large Vision Language Models

Zhifang Zhang, Bojun Yang, Shuo He +5

Despite the strong multimodal performance, large vision-language models (LVLMs) are vulnerable during fine-tuning to backdoor attacks, where adversaries insert trigger-embedded sam…

Calibration Attention: Learning Reliability-Aware Representations for Vision Transformers

Wenhao Liang, Wei Emma Zhang, Lin Yue +4

Most calibration methods operate at the logit level, implicitly assuming that miscalibration can be corrected without changing the underlying representation. We challenge this assu…

Lifting Manifolds to Mitigate Pseudo-Alignment in LLM4TS

Liangwei Nathan Zheng, Wenhao Liang, Wei Emma Zhang +3

Pseudo-Alignment is a pervasive challenge in many large language models for time series (LLM4TS) models, often causing them to underperform compared to linear models or randomly in…
