Virtual try-on has achieved remarkable progress in recent years, yet most existing methods are designed for a specific scenario, such as cloth-to-person or person-to-person try-on, and often require…
Electric vehicles produce no tailpipe emissions, but charging them produces emissions that depend on the time-varying generation mix of the electricity consumed. We study an Electric Vehicle Routing…
Reasoning informs decision-making by connecting intended actions with their expected consequences. Recent vision-language-action (VLA) models incorporate embodied chains of thought (ECoTs) to guide…
Compositional motion transfer requires a model to extract motions from multiple reference videos, and apply each motion to a user-specified object in one target scene. Existing methods normally…
Deep neural networks achieve strong performance across many tasks but remain vulnerable to adversarial perturbations. Adversarial training (AT) is one of the most effective defenses, yet it suffers…
Label-free test-time reinforcement learning adapts vision--language models using rewards derived from their own predictions. However, misinterpreted visual evidence and sensitivity to textual…
Quantifying degradation between a pristine signal and its degraded observation is fundamental to signal processing, yet existing full-reference measures are inherently modality-specific. We introduce…
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for real-time photorealistic novel view synthesis. However, its training-time densification remains largely heuristic, often resulting…
Predicting future physical states stands as a central challenge in embodied intelligence. Existing video world models leave 3D dynamics implicit, action-based formulations remain tied to specific…
Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) are models that learn to sample discrete objects proportional to a target reward. They are trained by minimizing balance errors over sampled trajectories, which…
The scale of modern foundation models enables broad task generalization. In medical imaging, where segmentation demands vary widely across clinical contexts, such flexibility is invaluable.
Autonomous navigation in off-road terrain is commonly achieved using hierarchical control and planning architectures that rely on explicit cost maps and one-way information flow from a high-level…
Traffic congestion is becoming a critical challenge in rapidly growing urban centers, particularly in developing nations where rapid urbanization and inadequate transport infrastructure place…
While single-view novel view synthesis methods have been dramatically enhanced recently, how to quantify their performance has yet to be standardized. In this work, we demonstrate that an important…
Large language models (LLMs) are advancing in multimodal understanding and reasoning, accelerating medical model development. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) uses evidence from the four…
Skills, as reusable external knowledge, have demonstrated substantial potential to enhance the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to solve complex tasks. However, existing skill-augmented…
Ship-to-home fulfillment requires a retailer to select a fulfillment location and carrier before the delivery time is known. These decisions often rely on static transit-time estimates, which cannot…
Language model assistants sometimes change a correct answer when the user suggests a wrong one. The behavior, called sycophancy, is usually attributed to preference-based post-training, yet early…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in multi-turn agentic workloads that require sustained interaction with complex environments. Existing reflective prompt optimizers such as GEPA…
Quickest detection problems (QDPs) arise in a wide range of applications. However, the complementarity structure of the associated variational inequalities poses substantial challenges for…
An input skip can reduce reconstruction error while leaving a model's distribution of new samples unchanged. For a Gaussian variational autoencoder (VAE) with constant input skip $0\leqα<1$, a model…
Objective: This study aims to determine whether a hip-exoskeleton policy trained in simulation, by co-adapting with a musculoskeletal human model under a metabolic-energy reward, reduces the…
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has emerged as an effective post-training paradigm for enhancing the video reasoning capability of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs). Despite its…
Variational inference with normalizing flows provides a flexible posterior approximation for Bayesian model calibration, but struggles when the posterior has several modes separated by regions of low…
