ChainImputer: A Neural Network-Based Iterative Imputation Method Using Cumulative Features

Published in MDPI Symmetry, 2025

A neural network–based missing value imputation method that incrementally builds a cumulative feature set during training, avoiding reliance on naively imputed data and achieving superior performance across 25 benchmark datasets compared to conventional methods.

Diffusion Model-Based Generative Pipeline for Children Song Video

Published in IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE), 2025

We present an approach that leverages natural language processing and diffusion-based generative models to automatically create music videos for children’s songs from lyrics, with experiments on 20 prompts showing that the Cascade SD model outperforms four alternatives across multiple evaluation metrics.
