2025We present unexpected findings from a large-scale benchmark study evaluating Conditional Average Treatment Effect (CATE) estimation algorithms, i.e., CATE models. By running 16 modern CATE models on 12 datasets and 43,200 sampled variants generated through diverse observational sampling strategies, we find that: (a) 62% of CATE estimates have a higher Mean Squared Error (MSE) than a trivial zero-effect

User modeling in large e-commerce platforms aims to optimize user experiences by incorporating various customer activities. Traditional models targeting a single task often focus on specific business metrics, neglecting the comprehensive user behavior, and thus limiting their effectiveness. To develop more generalized user representations, some existing work adopts Multi-task Learning (MTL) approaches.

2025Reasoning and linguistic skills form the cornerstone of human intelligence, facilitating problem-solving and decision-making. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have led to impressive linguistic capabilities and emergent reasoning behaviors, fueling widespread adoption across application do-mains. However, LLMs still struggle with complex reasoning tasks, highlighting their systemic limitations

2025Object 6D pose estimation is a critical challenge in robotics, particularly for manipulation tasks. While prior research combining visual and tactile (visuotactile) information has shown promise, these approaches often struggle with generalization due to the limited availability of visuotactile data. In this paper, we introduce ViTa-Zero, a zero-shot visuotactile pose estimation framework. Our key innovation

2025Semantic matching plays a pivotal role in e-commerce by facilitating better product discovery and driving sales within online stores. Transformer models have proven exceptionally effective in mapping queries to an embedding space, positioning semantically related entities (queries or products) in close proximity. De-spite their effectiveness, the high computational demands of large transformer models pose
