| 2025 | Pedestrian Motion Reconstruction: A Large-scale Benchmark via Mixed Reality Rendering with Multiple Perspectives and ModalitiesabstractReconstructing pedestrian motion from dynamic sensors, with a focus on pedestrian intention, is crucial for advancing autonomous driving safety. However, this task is challenging due to data limitations arising from technical complexities, safety, and cost concerns. We introduce the Pedestrian Motion Reconstruction (PMR) dataset, which focuses on pedestrian intention to reconstruct behavior using multiple perspectives and modalities. PMR is developed from a mixed reality platform that combines real-world realism with the extensive, accurate labels of simulations, thereby reducing costs and risks. It captures the intricate dynamics of pedestrian interactions with objects and vehicles, using different modalities for a comprehensive understanding of human-vehicle interaction. Analyses show that PMR can naturally exhibit pedestrian intent and simulate extreme cases. PMR features a vast collection of data from 54 subjects interacting across 12 urban settings with 7 objects, encompassing 12,138 sequences with diverse weather conditions and vehicle speeds. This data provides a rich foundation for modeling pedestrian intent through multi-view and multi-modal insights. We also conduct comprehensive benchmark assessments across different modalities to thoroughly evaluate pedestrian motion reconstruction methods.

| 2025 | Reinforcement Learning Meets Masked Generative Models: Mask-GRPO for Text-to-Image GenerationabstractReinforcement learning (RL) has garnered increasing attention in text-to-image (T2I) generation. However, most existing RL approaches are tailored to either diffusion models or autoregressive models, overlooking an important alternative: masked generative models. In this work, we propose Mask-GRPO, the first method to incorporate Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO)-based RL into this overlooked paradigm. Our core insight is to redefine the transition probability, which is different from current approaches, and formulate the unmasking process as a multi-step decision-making problem. To further enhance our method, we explore several useful strategies, including removing the Kullback–Leibler constraint, applying the reduction strategy, and filtering out low-quality samples. Using Mask-GRPO, we improve a base model, Show-o, with substantial improvements on standard T2I benchmarks and preference alignment, outperforming existing state-of-the-art approaches.

| 2024 | HpGraphNEI: A network entity identification model based on heterophilous graph learningabstractNetwork entities have important asset mapping, vulnerability, and service delivery applications. In cyberspace, where the network structure is complex and the number of entities is large, effectively obtaining the relevant attributes of entities is a difficult task. Graph neural network-based approaches focus on target IP node messaging from neighboring nodes; however, the graph learning task ignores the heterophilous relationship of network entity identification (NEI) tasks in the graph structure and fails to effectively message from non-neighboring nodes. To address the limitations of the existing task, we propose a NEI model based on heterophilous graph learning (HpGraphNEI); HpGraphNEI converts heterophilous graphs under the NEI task into homophilous graphs and uses the graph learning mechanism to carry out attribute completion task for incomplete entity attributes. First, the acquired dataset is feature-extracted by network measurement, and the clustering algorithm is employed to divide the target nodes into communities. Second, the network topology graph is constructed to embed the node attribute information and neighborhood structure information into the graph in the form of feature vectors. Then, the global attention in the community is calculated according to the attention results, the edges with strong correlation in the network are filtered, the adjacency matrix is reconstructed, and then the updated node information is aggregated to complete the incomplete attribute completion. Fourth, the updated nodes are categorized to output network entity categories and construct network entity portraits based on the attribute completion nodes. We conducted a 2-month data collection in three real regions and successfully identified 6 types of network entities. Compared with the optimal baseline, all the metrics have significantly improved, with NEI accuracy above 93.74% and up to 96.28%, improved 2.27% to 2.69%.
