GEM: Graph-Enhanced Mixture-of-Experts with ReAct Agents for Dialogue State Tracking

Dialogue State Tracking (DST) requires precise extraction of structured information from multi-domain conversations, a task where Large Language Models (LLMs) struggle despite their impressive general capabilities. We present GEM (Graph-Enhanced Mixture-of-Experts), a novel framework that combines language models and graph-structured dialogue understanding with ReAct agent-based reasoning for superior DST performance. Our approach dynamically routes between specialized experts: a Graph Neural Network that captures dialogue structure and turn-level dependencies, and a finetuned T5-Small encoder-decoder for sequence modeling, coordinated by an intelligent router. For complex value generation tasks, we integrate ReAct agents that perform structured reasoning over dialogue context. On MultiWOZ 2.2, GEM achieves 65.19% Joint Goal Accuracy, substantially outperforming end-to-end LLM approaches (best: 38.43%) and surpassing state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods including TOATOD (63.79%), D3ST (58.70%), and Diable (56.48%). Our graph-enhanced mixture-of-experts architecture with ReAct integration demonstrates that combining structured dialogue representation with dynamic expert routing and agent-based reasoning provides a powerful paradigm for dialogue state tracking, achieving superior accuracy while maintaining computational efficiency through selective expert activation.

3D IoU-Net: IoU Guided 3D Object Detector for Point Clouds

Most existing point cloud based 3D object detectors focus on the tasks of classification and box regression. However, another bottleneck in this area is achieving an accurate detection confidence for the Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) post-processing. In this paper, we add a 3D IoU prediction branch to the regular classification and regression branches. The predicted IoU is used as the detection confidence for NMS. In order to obtain a more accurate IoU prediction, we propose a 3D IoU-Net with IoU sensitive feature learning and an IoU alignment operation. To obtain a perspective-invariant prediction head, we propose an Attentive Corner Aggregation (ACA) module by aggregating a local point cloud feature from each perspective of eight corners and adaptively weighting the contribution of each perspective with different attentions. We propose a Corner Geometry Encoding (CGE) module for geometry information embedding. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time geometric embedding information has been introduced in proposal feature learning. These two feature parts are then adaptively fused by a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) network as our IoU sensitive feature. The IoU alignment operation is introduced to resolve the mismatching between the bounding box regression head and IoU prediction, thereby further enhancing the accuracy of IoU prediction. The experimental results on the KITTI car detection benchmark show that 3D IoU-Net with IoU perception achieves state-of-the-art performance.

An Efficient Hardware Accelerator for Structured Sparse Convolutional Neural Networks on FPGAs

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance in a wide range of applications. However, deeper CNN models, which are usually computation consuming, are widely required for complex Artificial Intelligence (AI) tasks. Though recent research progress on network compression such as pruning has emerged as a promising direction to mitigate computational burden, existing accelerators are still prevented from completely utilizing the benefits of leveraging sparsity owing to the irregularity caused by pruning. On the other hand, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have been regarded as a promising hardware platform for CNN inference acceleration. However, most existing FPGA accelerators focus on dense CNN and cannot address the irregularity problem. In this paper, we propose a sparse wise dataflow to skip the cycles of processing Multiply-and-Accumulates (MACs) with zero weights and exploit data statistics to minimize energy through zeros gating to avoid unnecessary computations. The proposed sparse wise dataflow leads to a low bandwidth requirement and a high data sharing. Then we design an FPGA accelerator containing a Vector Generator Module (VGM) which can match the index between sparse weights and input activations according to the proposed dataflow. Experimental results demonstrate that our implementation can achieve 987 imag/s and 48 imag/s performance for AlexNet and VGG-16 on Xilinx ZCU102, respectively, which provides 1.5x to 6.7x speedup and 2.0x to 6.2x energy-efficiency over previous CNN FPGA accelerators.
