Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Wensi Sun, Yanshuang Chen, Wencheng Ji, Yi Zhou, Hua Tong | Summary: Hierarchical dynamics in glass-forming systems span multiple timescales, from fast vibrations to slow structural rearrangements, appearing in both supercooled fluids and glassy states. Understanding how these diverse processes interact across timescales remains a central challenge. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Zirui Li, Siwei Wu, Xingyu Wang, Yi Zhou, Yizhi Li | Summary: The rapid advancement of unsupervised representation learning and large-scale pre-trained vision-language models has significantly improved cross-modal retrieval tasks. However, existing multi-modal information retrieval (MMIR) studies lack a comprehensive exploration of document-level retrieval and suffer from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xuan Zhang, Cunxiao Du, Sicheng Yu, Jiawei Wu, Fengzhuo Zhang | Summary: Due to the auto-regressive nature of current video large language models (Video-LLMs), the inference latency increases as the input sequence length grows, posing challenges for the efficient processing of video sequences that are usually very […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Yihao Zhang, Sai Li, Albert Lee, Zheng Zhu, Lang Zeng | Summary: Physics-inspired computing paradigms, such as Ising machines, are emerging as promising hardware alternatives to traditional von Neumann architectures for tackling computationally intensive combinatorial optimization problems (COPs). While quantum, optical, and electronic devices have garnered significant […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Guodong Du, Xuanning Zhou, Junlin Li, Zhuo Li, Zesheng Shi | Summary: Cross-capability transfer is a key challenge in large language model (LLM) research, with applications in multi-task integration, model compression, and continual learning. Recent works like FuseLLM and FuseChat have demonstrated the potential of transferring multiple […]
Kavli Affiliate: Fukun Liu | First 5 Authors: Fukun Liu, Adam T. Greer, Gengchen Mai, Jin Sun, | Summary: Plankton are small drifting organisms found throughout the world’s oceans. One component of this plankton community is the zooplankton, which includes gelatinous animals and crustaceans (e.g. shrimp), as well as the early life stages (i.e., eggs […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Zhiyao Zhang, Myeung Suk Oh, FNU Hairi, Ziyue Luo, Alvaro Velasquez | Summary: Actor-critic methods for decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) facilitate collaborative optimal decision making without centralized coordination, thus enabling a wide range of applications in practice. To date, however, most theoretical convergence studies for existing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mounya Elhilali | Authors: Moïra-Phoebé Huet and Mounya Elhilali | Summary: Perception requires more than passive sensing—it involves prioritizing the features most relevant to ongoing cognitive goals, a process guided by selective attention. A central question is whether attention operates by enhancing all features of a selected target, or by optimizing neural encoding […]
