ParaAegis: Parallel Protection for Flexible Privacy-preserved Federated Learning
Federated learning (FL) faces a critical dilemma: existing protection mechanisms like differential privacy (DP) and homomorphic encryption (HE) enforce a rigid trade-off, forcing a choice between model utility and computational efficiency. This lack of flexibility hinders the practical implementation. To address this, we introduce ParaAegis, a parallel protection framework designed to give practitioners flexible control over the privacy-utility-efficiency balance. Our core innovation is a strat…

OmniSegmentor: A Flexible Multi-Modal Learning Framework for Semantic Segmentation
Recent research on representation learning has proved the merits of multi-modal clues for robust semantic segmentation. Nevertheless, a flexible pretrain-and-finetune pipeline for multiple visual modalities remains unexplored. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-modal learning framework, termed OmniSegmentor. It has two key innovations: 1) Based on ImageNet, we assemble a large-scale dataset for multi-modal pretraining, called ImageNeXt, which contains five popular visual modalities. 2) We …

Two Tales of Waving Tails in Biological Fluid Dynamics
The motion of undulating, flexible “tails" in a fluid environment is a common element in many biological systems, from sperm movement in reproduction to fish swimming in the ocean. This talk will focus on two collaborative projects where computational fluid dynamics has shed some light on fundamental me…
