Multi-modal Understanding and Generation
Published 2026The convergence of computer vision and natural language processing has been accelerated by large-scale pre-training, enabling machines to align visual concepts with semantic meaning. However, a gap remains between the ...Open AccessThesis -
Robust and Efficient Training of Deep Neural Networks via Principled Stopping Strategies
Published 2026In many modern regimes, deep neural networks can overfit the training data while still generalizing well, which has enabled large-scale training and motivated neural scaling law. Nevertheless, benign overfitting is not ...Open AccessThesis -
Opioid Deprescribing at Transitions of Care in Australia
Published 2026Opioid analgesics are widely used for acute, chronic, and perioperative pain, but long-term use has contributed to increased misuse, dependence, and opioid-related harm. Transitions of care, particularly from hospital to ...Open AccessThesis -
Towards High Efficient Federated Learning Systems
Published 2026Federated learning (FL) has shown strong potential in domains such as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Internet of Things (IoT), and industrial cyber–physical systems (ICPS). However, FL faces three fundamental ...Open AccessThesis -
Optimizing the Use of Heterogeneous Memory
Published 2026Chapter 2 studies persistent key-value stores and isolate the impact of individual design techniques within a unified code base. Unlike prior works that evaluate complete systems, our methodology enables an apples-to-apples ...Open AccessThesis
