The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree is conferred by the School of Engineering primarily in recognition of competence in the subject field and the ability to investigate engineering problems ...

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the model merging process for large language models (LLMs) under a two-stage optimization framework. Traditional merging methods usually apply fixed blending rates ...

Abstract: Due to the inherent $\pi $ -phase constraint in phase unwrapping algorithms, the dynamic strain range of phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry ($\Phi $ -OTDR) is significantly ...

Whole slide images (WSIs) classification represents a fundamental challenge in computational pathology, where multiple instance learning (MIL) has emerged as the dominant paradigm. Current ...
