🏆 Sungbin has been selected for the 2026 PhD Excellence Scholarship in Science and Engineering.
Jun 2026
🎓 Our paper on flatness-based out-of-distribution detection has been accepted to ECCV 2026. In this work, we propose FOLD, a lightweight detector that leverages feature-Hessian curvature and partial feature normalization to improve ID-OOD separability.
May 2026
🏆 Our paper on uncertainty quantification in ICL, accepted to ACL 2026, has been selected as an Oral presentation. In this work, we introduce self-function vectors to directly decompose uncertainty, and propose a novel framework to evaluate these disentangled sources.
May 2026
🎓 Our paper on asynchronous pipeline parallelism has been accepted to ICML 2026. In this work, we propose a basis rotation approach to effectively address the associated gradient staleness problem.
