Automatic phenotype information extraction plays an important role in rare disease diagnosis, genotype-phenotype analysis, and precision medicine. However, accurately identifying phenotype concepts…
Diffusion language models generate by iteratively denoising a masked sequence under bidirectional attention, without the strict left-to-right commitment of autoregressive decoding. Whether this…
Cinematic multi-shot video generation requires both narrative planning and iterative refinement. Existing methods either lack narrative reasoning or rely on feed-forward workflows without policy…
Despite the success of foundation models in image synthesis, achieving fine-grained spatial control remains a significant challenge, typically requiring auxiliary structural adapters or complex…
This article investigates the joint-angle invariance (JAI) of Jacobian-based performance indices for serial robotic manipulators. We identify kinematic conditions under which representative…
Existing paired clean-degraded datasets have advanced learning-based underwater image enhancement, but they remain either limited in scale or difficult to acquire, and still fail to adequately cover…
Vision-language-action (VLA) models achieve strong performance across embodied manipulation tasks by unifying visual understanding, language conditioning, and action generation. However, long-horizon…
Aligned large language models are trained to comply with benign requests while refusing harmful ones. However, recent work shows that this refusal behavior is fragile and can often be disrupted by…
Fine-grained multimodal intelligence requires models to both understand a designated region and localize it from language. Existing methods learn these directions with separate objectives and…
Training modern AI models has become increasingly expensive, and updating deployed models can alter their internal feature representations, affecting applications built upon them. In retrieval…
Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have seen broad adoption, but their biases are still far less examined than those of standard LLMs, creating possible social harms when deployed in…
Residual-based causal discovery assumes that each variable is generated from its parents and an independent noise source. It estimates this noise and tests its independence from candidate causes.
Retrieval-based in-context learning (ICL) enables large language models (LLMs) to predict tabular labels from similar examples, but it remains unclear whether LLM inference improves on direct voting…
While Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting improves the reasoning performance of large language models (LLMs), recent studies have shown that final answers do not always depend on the generated…
High-fidelity 4D physical simulation requires accurate physical parameter assignments that align with diverse material properties. Previous methods struggle with critical bottlenecks: they either…
Temporal reasoning is widely assumed to decompose into two modes: temporal arithmetic (date and time calculations), and temporal semantics (understanding temporal and causal relations). This…
LEGO walkers are walking automata constructed from modular LEGO Technic bricks. They exhibit intriguing locomotion and are also highly reconfigurable through the modular Technic bricks, making them…
Biometric recognition often degrades under partial facial vis- ibility, where conventional facial cues are occluded. The forehead region remains consistently visible and contains distinctive crease…
Codes of professional ethics guide and restrict specialists, who increasingly work with assistants built on large language models. Such an assistant can breach the user's code, or help the user…
Large language models (LLMs) have shown great potential as general-purpose user simulators for interactive systems. Prior studies have demonstrated that training on high-quality data can…
Agent harnesses have become a central component of modern agentic systems, shaping how models use tools, manage context, and coordinate long-horizon interaction. Realizing the benefits of these…
Omni-modal large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in audio and video understanding. However, existing models struggle with long-form, multi-speaker videos, especially in…
Robust and reactive collision avoidance remains a central challenge for deploying Reinforcement Learning (RL) policies on real robotic manipulators, particularly when transferring behaviours learned…
Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly use tools to complete tasks in stateful environments. However, many training environments remain largely static apart from changes caused by the agent's…
